“ We ordered take out. We got the island fish and chips as well as the pacific cod and chips. Both were very good. Great portion sizes and the batter on the fish was very light. ”
“ The food and service was great. We ordered the lobster bisque and chowder...we shared the two-piece fish and Chips. It was great how they divided the servings to make two plates. Highly recommend when in town. Good value ”
“ Excellently prepared and beautifully presented! At first glance my friend and I weren't sure if it was more diner or elegant establishment, but the food and presentation were definitely the latter. The menu is mostly seafood - a couple of salads and chicken dishes are what's on offer otherwise. But for fish-lovers, they have 6 different seafood choices for fish and chips, plus a wide selection ranging from chowders and fish burgers to dinner features like maple glazed salmon and almond crusted lingcod. My friend ordered the grilled shrimp and chose mashed potatoes and asparagus tempura for the sides. The shrimp on the 2 skewers were large, plump and juicy, drizzled with garlic butter, and the asparagus was delightful in a crisp tempura crust. I had baked red snapper topped with spinach, crab and 3-cheese gratin, accompanied by an inspired butternut squash/potato mash and asparagus tempura (yum). The crab meat gave a complimentary richness to the snapper, and the cheese flavours accented nicely. The sweet chili sauce drizzled decoratively over top was a final, perfect touch for both taste and eye. For dessert we shared a sticky toffee pudding which, again, was beautifully presented and a nice finish to an excellent dinner. The server was friendly and attentive, and seemed to know several of the other guests, which suggests that there are repeat customers. We hope to soon be among them - we're going back for dinner tomorrow! ”
“ As return customers 3 of us ordered Fish and chips to take out for my Birthday dinner. COD breaded nicely and succulent. Chips done to perfection. Fresh Coleslaw. Large portions. Packaged nicely with all condiments. Key Lime pie and a wonderful version of Sticky Toffee Pudding to finish. I highly recommend. ”
“ I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The fish and chips were absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside, with perfectly seasoned fries. Every bite was a delight, and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend trying this dish if you’re looking for a tasty meal. ”
“ This place used to be Joey's Seafood. Hands down the best fish and chips in the Oceanside area. There are five types of fish to choose from and it's lightly battered and not overly oily. The fries are also better than other places, nice and crispy. Nothing fancy here, and prices are good as far as seafood goes. ”
“ Absolutely excellent food. Excellent service. Pleasant decor. Shrimp Feast was very tasty and included a ton of shrimp. One thing to look out for, they put a small wedge of lemon in the cooked sauce. You just have to remove it before eating. ”
“ My first time there was today, had the baked Snapper au gratin (the tempura asparagus and butter nut squash was also very delicious) and crab cakes for appetizers. Not sure why this place only gets 4.2 stars, the food was excellent, staff was very friendly and when you consider that a cheese burger and fries is almost 20 these days paying only 22 for the baked snapper was a bargain. I will be going back there for sure! The table next to us said they go there often and all the food is great. Go try it for yourself and I'm sure you will become a regular too. 감사합니다 ”
