Some of the best dinners don’t start with a main. They start with something in the middle of the table.
At Harbour Street Fish Bar, share plates are more than just appetizers. They’re built to bring people together — whether you’re out with friends, family, or meeting up before live music in the evening.
If you’re looking for shareable plates in Collingwood that feel intentional and satisfying, these are the ones that tend to disappear first.
Bam Bam Shrimp
If there’s one plate that gets people talking immediately, it’s this one.
Tempura-style shrimp tossed in sweet chilli sriracha mayo strikes that perfect balance between crispy and bold. There’s heat, but it’s approachable. There’s sweetness, but it doesn’t overpower the shrimp.
It’s the kind of dish that works for almost everyone at the table and pairs easily with drinks while you settle in for dinner.
Arancini
Hand-rolled risotto balls stuffed with mozzarella and served with house-made marinara, finished with fresh basil.
Arancini are comfort food in shareable form. Crisp on the outside, creamy and cheesy inside, they’re a great choice if your table wants something warm and satisfying to start.
They bridge the gap nicely between seafood-forward plates and heartier mains, making them a safe and popular pick for mixed groups.
Shrimp Santorini
If you’re looking for something a little more distinctive, this one stands out.
Tiger shrimp served in a Pernod marinara sauce with onions and garlic, topped with goat cheese and served alongside fresh baguette. It leans Mediterranean in flavour and feels slightly elevated without being formal.
This plate tends to spark conversation — especially once the bread starts dipping into the sauce.
Built for Sharing — But Hard to Give Up
What makes these plates work so well is that they don’t feel like afterthoughts. They’re full-flavoured and generous enough to anchor the beginning of a meal.
Some guests order one to split before mains. Others mix and match two or three and let the table decide. There’s no wrong way to approach it.
For locals, it’s about variety and consistency. For visitors, it’s an easy way to explore the menu without committing to just one flavour.
A Relaxed Place to Gather
Share plates work best when you’re not rushed.
Inside, the dining space is cozy and welcoming. When the weather allows, the patio offers both covered and open seating, giving you room to settle in comfortably.
Free and easy parking makes it simple to meet up without stress, and regular live events often turn dinner into a longer, more social evening.
