We went for lunch and decided on halibut fish and yam fries and cod fish and chips…read more The batter on the fish was light and crispy not your traditional beer batter. I came with house slaw and tartar sauce. We really liked the slaw because it was tossed in a sweet vinaigrette instead of mayonnaise. The only thing I would say is that they should watch their music playlist. We actually joked about it to the waitress.

So of course we had to try it! Both the salmon and the halibut fish and chips were amazing! Crunchy, flavorful, light and not greasy. Would love to live closer in order have them again! The location in the harbor, casual atmosphere and seating were ideal, and we enjoyed a stroll along the harbor after our plentiful and delicious lunch, dining, literally, on the water. It's a floating restaurant, how fun is that?!

Our party ordered cod, red snapper and Ling cod. Every piece was cooked to perfection; meaty and tastey. The fries were hand cut and fried perfectly. They stress fresh oil and wild caught fish is used to prepare the orders. I will definetly be going back to Maggie's because the quality is equal or exceeds Red Fin Blue Fin in Victoria. There are about maybe 10 to 12 tables and counter seating. Not a fancy restuarant because after all, it is a seafood store. Maggie is very friendly and there is a self serve water station. You order at the till and the food is brought to your table. She totally gets a two thumbs up from me.

We found this spot far from the waterfront and decided to try it. Wow am I glad we did. The first…read moreindication that this was going to be good was the fact that they had a fresh fish market counter. We ordered Halibut fish n chips and was not disappointed, it was amazing. Maggie came to our table and made sure we were happy, she was great! I love supporting businesses like this, they have a quality product and are passionate about what they do. You won't get a waterfront view but you will get the best fish n chips in town.

I highly recommend this place as their fish is so fresh and delicious…read more Food is really good. Not too much batter on the chips and fish tastes nice and fresh. The fish was also not super greasy which will be easier on my stomach. The fish was also nice and crispy! The coleslaw tasted nice and fresh with a light vinaigrette dressing. I wish the coleslaw had a more creamy sauce. But if u like vinaigrette coleslaw, then u will love this coleslaw. They have a huge menu that i will have to explore sometime. Service was amazing. Super friendly staff and extra tartar sauce was no extra charge! Ambiance was nice and relaxing. There are a few outside benches to provide a nice camp feel. The benches were clean for the most part with maybe a few crumbs but majority of it was clean. Pricing is reasonable and definitely worth the quality. It was around $20-$30 a person I would rate the fish and chips 5/5 and the coleslaw a 3/5.

During the summer months, we eat at Shore at least 3 to 4 times a month. It is our go to place for…read morethe best codburger, fish tacos, fish and chips. You name it in the seafood line they are number one. Lindy and Steve are absolutely amazing and Lindy is an absolute sweetheart , with her amazing smile and Steves nice too lol Sometimes we drop a table and eat in other times we just bring a blanket or sit on a park bench and do the takeout method . Either way I've never had a meal there that does not rank a 10 out of 10 then if you still got room, you grab an ice cream and then you go home and sit on the couch rubbing your full belly lol well that's what I do anyways. I love everything about Shore Restaurant so does Leeanne we never think twice about where we should go eat we just go "let's go to Shore.! "

I was indecisive whether I wanted tacos or fish and chips, but the staff suggested a way for me to…read morego with a bit of both! It wasn't on the menu, but the staff provided me with an option of getting one shrimp taco, one piece of cod fish, and a "sprinkle" of fries. All of that, along with some tartar sauce, plus tax and tip still came down to around $20, which seemed very reasonable. While the restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating, on a sunny summer day, you can take your food to go and enjoy it by the beach nearby.

I found this listing and the reviews were great so was really looking forward to the meal…read more Ordered some takeout and was pretty disappointed in the food. The fries were soft and luke warm. Didn't like the flavor of them. Had two pieces of cod, both which were cooked excellent for 3/4 of each piece, but were soft and soggy for the other 1/4 ers. The lady who took my order was very pleasant and helpful, but not sure I'd go back because of the food.

We walked into Firehouse Grill with no prior information and had the absolutely best meal in weeks!…read moreThe menu is surprising--including cornbread muffins and jambalaya! We ordered burgers--best burgers we've eaten in a long time. Amazing food, prepared and quickly out of the kitchen. Beautiful presentation. Service was perfect. Chef (owner?) came out to meet us and we learned his history, including time spent in New Orleans where he learned how to prepare cornbread and jambalaya. Interesting note--we'd asked for restaurant recommendations and this one had not been mentioned by anyone. Honestly, don't know how the other places could beat Firehouse Grill for service, selection, and taste. Next day, sitting in Vancouver, we talked about riding the ferry back to Nanaimo to eat here for a second time.
