About Halibut House - Fish & Chips

Halibut House was started in Port Perry by Julie. Julie worked hard with her family. Their passion was fresh cut halibut and french fries - an authentic fish and chips experience. This model was soon expanded to other cities.
Today, Halibut House has over 15 locations and increasing. Fresh cut halibut is skinned and filleted in the store. French fries that are served are from potato farms, grown locally. Halibut House believes in three things - quality, good customer service, and freshness of the food.
Some traits about Halibut House as a franchise owner:
Halibut House Fish & Chips is actively engaged in social media. Front line store operations exist in the Greater Toronto area. Halibut House ensures that ongoing news and events are posted to social media, to ensure ongoing promotion and exposure.
Right from the beginning of visiting the Halibut House website, you are greeted by a steaming, delicious high resolution plate of freshly made fish and chips. The plate is topped off with a side salad and some sauce in the background.  Mouthwatering.
Having experienced a new found love in providing customers with great food and service, we’ve been able to expand in hope of sharing the experience with more people! Starting in Port Perry; the Halibut House has expanded into Oshawa, Whitby, Aurora, Bowmanville, Pickering, Scarborough, Markham, and Newmarket!
We specialize in fresh cut halibut; skinned and filleted in our very own stores, served atop home cut French fries from our local potato farms. We take pride in freshness, quality, and service. Our fish is lightly battered to give our customers that juicy satisfaction of taking that great crisp bite.


About The Juicy Crab

The Juicy Crab story starts long before the opening of the Duluth, Georgia, first corporate restaurant in 2015. The Chen family's inspiration ultimately came from New Orleans and the world travels of Grandfather Chen. Grandfather Chen was a sailor who traveled the world learning many different styles and ways of cooking seafood. One of the main influences that every family member loved, was the New Orleans style of cooking seafood, and we want to share it with you.

We think you will agree that "Juicy Never Tasted So Good”™. The style and special blend of seasonings will have you coming back for more! We welcome you to sit at our family table and will always treat you like a part of our family.
