    Fish Tacos....
    Bob V.

    OMG absolutely the best fish and chips, light and crispy, seafood chowder and fish tacos in the world, or certainly at least on this island probably in British Columbia! Today I am having the fish tacos and a side of fries enough for two people.

    These were the best fish tacos that I have ever tasted. They started with large chunks of fresh whitefish (not breaded or frozen slivers). They were served simply, so that the fish was the star of the taco and with some sort of spice like oregano, they presented more like you would hope for at a seaside Greek restaurant than Mexican style

    Red's Seaside Grill is based in Fords Cove on beautiful Hornby Island. I feel a little guilty…read moretelling the world about this place, as part of its charm is its remote setting and local clientele, but alas, the food was so tasty I feel it a crime against Red himself not to spread the word. Red's is based in a store that looks like a wooden fishing boat, very cute. Red himself and his serving staff have genuine island hospitality, and the fish is so fresh I think it almost leapt from my hands and back into its watery home, situated mere steps from the restaurant. All of the seating is outside and the view of Fords Cove is stunning. I recommend getting your "f&c's" to go and walk around the coast a few minutes over the sandstone to find a spot to watch the fishing boats cruise by. My halibut and chips were amazingly fresh with light crispy batter and the onion rings are KILLER -chunky and crispy with sweet onion with that x-factor that only comes with homemade goods. The condiment stand was packed with everything you need - vinegar, ketchup, sweet green relish, mustard....the list goes on. Red's knows how serve up island style food - honest, delicious and made with love.

    Great fish & chips. A bit pricey, but well worth it. Expect a ten minute wait on average, but…read morethey'll yell out your name if you've gone for a walk (we usually wander down the dock to look at all the boats). To fully enjoy your meal, load up on the bounty of condiments and find a place to sit among the rocks along the water of Ford's Cove. (Note: Rumor has it that Red's is going to close this location by next year and open one closer to the Bakery or the Co-op. Hopefully they'll just add a 2nd location??)
