The Five Fishermen
A seafood and steak restaurant operating since 1975, housed in a historic building that once served as a mortuary for Titanic victims.
Operating on Argyle Street since 1975, this restaurant is housed in a building constructed around 1817. It previously served as a school and an art school, and later as the John Snow Funeral Home, where victims of the Titanic disaster were brought in 1912, making it famous for various ghost stories. Signatures include the "Five Fish Experience" seafood platter and a 1.5-pound lobster dinner, both at market price. Other options include Digby scallops, halibut, oysters Rockefeller, and lobster bacon carbonara. Mains are mostly priced between 37-48 CAD, with steaks being higher.
