About the Place
The Fish Place
Nestled in the heart of Fort McMurray, The Fish Place offers a genuine taste of seafood done right. From the moment you step in at 412 Thickwood Blvd, you’re welcomed by a warm atmosphere where fresh, homemade dishes take center stage. This is no ordinary fish and chips joint; it’s a place where each bite tells a story of craftsmanship and authenticity.
The highlight here is undoubtedly the fish—perfectly battered with a delicate, thin crust that seals in moisture and flavor without overwhelming the fresh fish beneath. Whether you choose the halibut or the cod, or opt for the recommended “can’t decide” combo, you’re in for a treat. The fries, thick and hand-cut with a touch of skin left on, carry the rustic charm of real, hearty comfort food—paired beautifully with house-made tartar sauce, creamy coleslaw, and a malt vinegar splash that elevates every forkful.
Beyond fish and chips, The Fish Place shines with its varied seafood offerings like savory mussels in white wine sauce, crab-stuffed mushroom caps, and a seafood stir fry that packs a punch of flavors. The BBQ baby back ribs are another standout, juicy and seasoned to perfection, showcasing that this kitchen knows its craft beyond just seafood.
Customer service here amplifies the experience. Staff like Rosalyn bring a personal touch, greeting regulars by name and ensuring every dish meets high standards—going so far as to replace a pot of mussels with genuine care and promptness. The friendly, knowledgeable team fosters a welcoming environment, making it an ideal spot for family dinners, friendly outings, or casual lunches.
Priced reasonably and served in a space with inviting décor and comfortable seating, The Fish Place is a testament to how thoughtful preparation and genuine hospitality create memorable dining experiences. For seafood lovers and comfort food enthusiasts alike, this is a destination worth returning to time and time again.

“ First time and it won’t be the last! Excellent, fresh, homemade fish, fries, dressing, gravy, tartar sauce & coleslaw. The fish was battered with a thin layer, perfectly cooked & flavourful. Certainly recommend the “can’t decide” halibut & cod option, one piece of each was great! ”
“ Real fish n Chips The fries are thick handcut with a little skin on some of them, they have malt vinegar to go with the ketchup and salt that should go on them! I prefer battered cod, but I tried the crispy breaded halibut as well. Both were great, tarter sauce must be home made as well as the coleslaw. That's what a restaurant should be made from scratch!!! The price was great and the service was kind, and punctual. Glad I went, you will be to. ”
“ Walked in the restaurant and Rosalyn welcomed me in with her warm smile and even remembered my drink from before. I ordered my usual mussels and without me asking for it to be replaced or cooked again she went to the kitchen and told me she’d bring me a new pot of mussels since the first pot wasn’t as good as before. Thank you Rosalyn for such a great service and for recognizing the issue right away ”
