Best Halal Seafood in Toronto & the GTA

Seafood is inherently halal by most mainstream rulings — no slaughter certification required — which means the field is wide. The spots on the Hit List are the ones where seafood is the kitchen's genuine focus, not just a menu section. Mermaid Boil, Mermaid Fish & Grill, and Sea Salt Seafood Cafe made the ranking. All three are verified halal. The crab boil format, the whole grilled fish, and the Mediterranean fish-house-style approach are all represented. The halal status for seafood spots is typically Seafood/Vegetarian/Vegan unless they also serve halal meat — noted clearly on each page.
