Herbert Fisheries
Inside Herbert Fisheries
Herbert Fisheries is a straightforward, no-frills spot tucked into Greater Sudbury’s Regent Street that specializes in classic fish and chips — a local staple done with fresh, often just-caught fish. It’s the kind of place where the focus is on the quality and freshness of the seafood, rather than a fancy dining atmosphere, making it a solid choice for a casual, satisfying meal.
Visitors often come here looking for a dependable, well-executed plate of fish and chips, with the pickerel and whitefish standing out as local favorites. The fish is lightly battered or even just dusted rather than heavily coated, giving a crisp exterior while keeping the fish flaky and light inside. This approach appeals more to folks who appreciate seafood done simply and authentically — it's clearly made with care rather than mass-produced or smothered in batter.
The fries are freshly cut and consistently come out crispy on the outside while staying soft within, a detail that many customers notice and appreciate. You can expect basic condiment options like vinegar, salt, pepper, and ketchup available freely, though tartar sauce generally comes in prepackaged Kraft packets rather than homemade, which some patrons mention as a minor downside.
The atmosphere is casual and efficient, with friendly staff who understand the local vibe — it’s an easy stop whether you’re passing through downtown or making a planned detour off the highway, especially for travelers returning from nearby outdoor spots like Killarney. It’s ideal for a quick lunch or early dinner, especially when you want to taste fish that’s fresh off the lake without fuss.
Beyond the restaurant, Herbert Fisheries operates as a licensed market where you can order fresh or frozen fish caught daily in the region — including whitefish fillets, lake trout, pickerel, perch, and pike. This adds a local, community-driven dimension for residents looking to take home quality fish for cooking.
Herbert Fisheries fits best for people who value fresh local seafood presented simply, enjoy classic Canadian fish and chips made with catch-of-the-day fish, and want a friendly, unpretentious spot in the heart of Sudbury without the frills. If you’re craving fish and chips that taste like they came straight from nearby waters and served with a focus on tradition and freshness, this is where many locals and visitors find themselves returning.
