What a gem of a place !!! Best clam chowder I ever had. Pacific cod fish & chips - 1 portion more than enough and very filling ;)
Tourists, pls stop feeding the seagulls ... "You’re actually doing them more harm than good. Your tasty tidbits are much easier for seagulls to get than their natural food sources. Seagulls end up forgoing fish and insects in order to live on a diet of bread, fries and ice cream. If that diet isn’t good for humans, it certainly isn’t good for gulls. "
We went there at the end of October. We spent a good amount of time trying to find the place because of the joy of Google maps. When we found it, there was only a 4 person line and a 10 minute wait for our food. I could taste why it got such good reviews. I had 1 piece of halibut f&c and one jerk tacone. The tacone was good and messy, a mix of fish and jerk flavours that hit the spot. The cone wrap worked great. Smart idea, that one. The halibut was glistening inside it's crunchy batter blanket and the fries were fantastic. The srirachup was fantastic. It added a smoky, spicy kick to everything. Chickie had the albacore tostados, they were visually beautiful and she said they tasted wonderful. The tuna was seared perfectly. Dockside in late October can be tricky, weather wise but we feel that we lucked out.
By far the best Fish and Chips joint in Victoria! The fish is perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, hot and flaky on the inside. Good portion size. Nicely cooked fries as well. Loved the fish tacos as an option as well. The chowder is filling and has such good flavor too. It's right off the marina and close to where the sea planes take off. This is a must try when in Victoria.
Fish and chips fried to perfection! Large fish pieces and very crispy. The highlight of my meal was the tuna taco cooked medium rare. It was full of flavor and satisfying. The views are spectacular. I went on a less busy cold day and the wait time was around 15 minutes then another 10 minutes for my meal.
This has got to be the best fish in town. Staff are down to earth and friendly and the bonus is you get stared at by the fattest looking seagulls in all of Victoria. Everything was tasty and fresh. The pickled onions and sprouts were an elevated touch. I would highly recommend this place rain or shine, wind or snowstorm. A hidden gem located right on the water of Victoria harbour.
The fish and chips are good. They have three different kinds of fish: halibut, salmon and cod. I tried all three. The halibut is much more expensive but I didn't find that tastier. I liked the salmon one the most. It is nice to sit outside by the water eating the food. But as the other reviews mentioned, there was a long wait. We waited about 25 minutes to order and another 25 minutes to get the food. Although the food is good, I am not sure if it is worth the wait. Maybe on a warm day it would be better than yesterday when I was there it was cold out.
The setting is simply perfect, with a beautiful view of the water and a mesmerizing sunset to accompany your meal.
Their fish and chips are a real treat. Crispy, perfectly fried, and full of flavor. It's a mouthwatering experience that pairs wonderfully with the picturesque backdrop.
What adds a cherry on top of this already amazing experience is the staff. They're incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make your visit memorable. You'll feel like you're dining with friends.
So, if you're looking for a memorable dining experience with great food, a stunning view, and warm hospitality, make sure to check out this little street food spot. It's a hidden treasure that you'll be glad you discovered.
Great deep fried fish and chips on an ocean side wharf. My wife and I enjoyed the deep fried salmon with chips and also the Jerk Fish poutine. The is a restaurant kiosk that you order from and you eat your food outside. It is fast food style. There are some seats but mostly standing room only. There are no washroom facilities available here but there are public washrooms about two minutes away. The food was hot and delicious. Next time we are in Victoria we will be coming back.
Halibut was great! Big portions, super fresh and crispy! Salmon was good; but prefer the halibut.
The clam chowder was more like a curry. It tastes good. Opt out of the bread for another $1.50 - you don’t need it.
Let me set the scene - rainy cool Monday at lunch. What would be better than some curry chowder to warm up? The answer is nothing. Nothing is better than that delicious chowder. Sweet, sour, savoury and satisfying. Wow, just delicious. I added on a tempura cod taco which was equally 🔥. My only regret is that I didn’t get bowl sized chowder. I will 💯 come back. Well done.

The chowder is DELICIOUS! Kinda tastes like a curry chowder. Beautiful view, excellent food. I highly recommend Red Fish Blue Fish. The wait is long but once you get your food you will know why. Definitely worth the wait.

Before I start, as many others mentioned, there was a very long wait. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place if you are in a hurry and want to finish your meal fast.
Yes, but the food was worth the wait. Their BC Fish and Chips were my favourite, with a warn fish and chips perfectly cooked and seasoned. The foods were wonderful.
I’d also like to acknowledge their wonderful harbour view that you can enjoy while eating your food, but I went there mid-to-late August, which, there were a lot of bees and wasps, so consider visiting at another season if you dislike those.
Their service was not bad, quite kind comparing to other restaurants. But they were really busy that sometimes they forgot our requests, but I had to understand this because I went there at a peak time.
