Osler Fish Warehouse Toronto

Osler Fish Market

Osler Fish Warehouse is an unassuming fish specialist and Portuguese grocery store tucked away on Osler Street at Dupont. At first glance it may not be noticeable, but turn into the parking lot and a giant fish painted leaping over their service door will let you know what they're all about: fresh, whole fish.

A sign at the edge of the parking lot is visible from Dupont, making this warehouse easy to find.

The cheese fridge boasts a range of mostly Portuguese cheese, both hard and soft, made from sheep's, cow's, and goat's milk. The best part is the bits and bobs of discount cheeses that go for as little as $4. Pastel de nata by the half-dozen also reside in this fridge.

Items here range from the nostalgic to the unique: this is the place your granny has been going all those years to get her tins of butter cookies. It's also where you can go if you've been watching too many cooking shows and are wondering where to easily obtain gelatin sheets.
