Our Story

Inspired by the Maritimes, Rooted in Kingston

Ocean Basket Fish & Chips
Who We Are

Fresh Ingredients, Every Morning

Ocean Basket Fish & Chips is a Kingston, Ontario seafood counter built around one promise: everything is made fresh, every day. No shortcuts, no thawed-and-reheated shortcuts — just hand-cut fries, scratch batter, and coleslaw made fresh each morning.

Our menu draws heavily on Maritime tradition — Atlantic lobster, Digby scallops, PEI mussels, and Nova Scotia wild blueberries — brought together with a playful, nautical spirit you'll see in every dish name on our menu, from “The Admiral's Table” to “Neptune's Shrimp Basket.”

We don't take online orders (yet) — every order is answered by a real person on the phone, so your fish hits the fryer the moment you call.
