The first Fishbone location opened in Stouffville in 2011, followed by Fishbone on Musselman's Lake in 2014, where they serve about 200 guests a day during the summer months in their pretty outdoor waterfront location. Chef Pedro Pereira wears all the hats; he designs the restaurants, does some of the building, and creates all Fishbone menus, which for the Musselman's Lake locale is focused on refined pub-style food and delicious homemade pizza made in a wood-burning oven, accompanied by “probably the best view in York Region”. The menu also includes fresh shucked oysters, PEI Mussels, Shrimp Tacos, Grilled Spanish Octopus, Lamb & Beef Burgers, Grilled Lamb Chops, their famous deep-fried Brussels Sprouts served with sweet chili sauce and smoked peanuts. “We try to be as seasonal as possible and as local as possible,” said Pereira. “We have so many farms up here, it really is a luxury to be in this area.” With a dedicated friendly staff, unexpectedly refined menu and tranquil waterside location, it's no wonder that Pereira's waterfront oasis is one the hottest restaurants in the area.
Pereira has also been focused on providing meals to front-line health-care workers during the pandemic. He came up with a program where guests are able to purchase meals for health-care workers, whereby Fishbone has provided meals to staff at Markham Stouffville Hospital, Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie and Markhaven Home for Seniors to name a few. “It makes a difference. We attach a little message from the person who bought the meal.”
