Toronto Seafood Restaurants
Although Toronto is far from the Ocean, you’d hardly guess that from the fine seafood restaurants in the city. Patrons with a taste for fish and shellfish will find many Toronto restaurants serving an impressive variety of saltwater and freshwater fare. From trout to whitefish and eel, Ontario’s lakes serve up a tasty selection of delicacies. Finer seafood establishments will also offer seafood specialities imported from the US and around the world.
