Sustainabe Fish in Leslieville
-There is nothing like this in North America-




What makes Hooked different? There`s a lot but let`s start with the following:
  • All of the fish is sustainable. It`s bought directly from the fisherman who caught it. We came home with an amazing piece of striped bass that was caught using a rod and reel in Connecticut on Thursday morning. Every fish i n the store is traced to it`s harvest – location and method of catch is known for everything that enters the store.

  • The people behind the counter know fish – and know cooking. Dan and Kristen are both chefs – they only hire experienced culinary graduates who can answer any question you have about buying, storing and cooking your fish.

  • They are passionate about the product and ensuring that they use every bit of it that they can. The gentle smell of fish stock lingers through the room as they prepare the fresh product for the fridge. House made fish sticks and dog treats will soon appear (dog treats being a fantastic example of ensuring as much of the animal is used as possible).

  • A different school of fish. The back of the room is opening to become a workshop and will teach everything from wine pairing to cooking.
