Summer dining by the lake: lunch at Fishbone by the Lake

Fishbone by the Lake in Stouffville

I took a Friday afternoon off to meet some friends for lunch out of the city. We went to Fishbone by the Lake in Stouffville, right by Musselman’s Lake.  They only had patio dining, but the views were beautiful so why waste it indoors, right?

We started off with appetizers to share. We had calamari, nicely deep fried with chillis and chives on a slather of basil aioli.

We also had two ways of tuna. Ahi tuna in poke (with avocado and watermelon, dressed with soy lime vinaigrette and cilantro and topped with chips) and in a niçoise salad (lettuce with olives, eggs, anchovies, and potato wedges dressed in a vinaigrette). The tuna was fresh and only slightly seasoned.

Our group of 5 also shared a Prosciutto pizza on a thin crust and with arugula. It was delicious with just the base of tomato and mozzarella.

And you think we would be too full? We had our individual mains right after! I got a Crab Cake Burger with mango salsa and aioli. It was nicely fried and juicy. It came with a side of highly addictive fresh cut fries.

Service was great and both the ambience and food were lovely. Cannot wait to go back!
