I miss Fancys so much. I live out of town but will be in Barrie this week so just came to check their hours of operation. Brings back many fond memories with my nana and poppa. Best halibut, ask for lightly breaded and I prefer their packaged tartar. Want some right now !!!

If you're looking for the best fish and chips in town, look no further than Fancy's Fish and Chips. With over 40 years in business, it's clear why this place has stood the test of time. Everything is homemade and absolutely delicious. From the perfectly crispy batter on the fish to the golden, fluffy homecut chips, every bite is a testament to their dedication to quality and flavour. I recently ordered takeout, and the experience was just as fantastic. The food was hot and fresh, and the packaging ensured everything stayed crispy and delicious. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the takeout process smooth and hassle-free. Fancy's Fish and Chips is not just a meal, it's an experience. Literally the best I've ever had!

It was Excellent. Was recommended the Halibut and I completely agree. Halibut was fresh, not too greasy, and full of flavour. Other seafood was also a delight.

The Haddock and chips, Fish Taco, and chicken strips were so tasty. Haddock & Chips: The batter was light and not overbearing. It complimented the Haddock. The batter was also not saturated in oil but very crispy. Fish Taco: 3 soft tocos with coleslaw and crispy haddock with salsa and sour cream on the side. It was so delicious! Chicken Fingers: Very simple and dome right. Crispy and soft with just the right spice. The price was very reasonable. 3 meals, onion ring, beer and 2 drinks 67 Overall, this place has now been added to our favorites.
