The best salmon my husband has ever ever had! We were just passing through and hit the right spot.

Thin crisp batter on the fish, tasty kennebac fries and crunchy coleslaw... this was a great fish and chip lunch! They also have some very interesting donut flavours if you're feeling like something sweet! read more

I don't know what's better: the fresh food, the super warm service or the awesome location. Always a go to for any occasion. My kids love it

The fish was great. Not overly battered and perfectly crispy. The garlic and Parmesan fries were also really good. Get there early though because I think we came right during the rush and they were out of quite a few things we wanted to order. read more

Delicious fish & chips. We waited a long time but they did let us know that before we ordered. Worth the wait! We went back the following week and ordered in advance! read more

Order at desk. They bring your food. A lot of Uber eats and only a few places to sit. Very smalll. Recommended by co workers. Had the snapper and fires with clam chowder. View is right by the boats and tours. Wasn't really sure how to get to. Parked in 2 hr parking at public park and walked into marina area. Omg that was the best fish I have ever eaten. I would highly recommend this place. It is a hole on the wall gem ! read more

Yummy fried fish and onion rings. Terrible fries. The poutine sauce had a strong beef flavor.

Friendly staff, quick service, tasty food. It was a little greasy but that's deep frying. If we are ever I'm the area again, we would go back. Worth your time. read more

Best fish and chips we have had in ages. Fish was so tender and flaky and fresh. It was perfectly fried. Fries were delicious. Tartar sauce could have been more flavorful, but doesn't matter, I'd still come back any day. read more

Staff were friendly and helpful. The halibut and chips were fantastic and they had the requisite malt vinegar. They also had salmon and red snapper but we were there for the halibut. They also are making donuts. The maple bacon was first class. A great takeout experience and well worth the visit. read more

We came here from Qualicum beach for a drive and of course fish and chips. We were going to go somewhere else, but the way they answered the phone was rude. To the fish (halibut) it is was lightly battered and the fish was fresh, just melted in your mouth. The fish had nice colour. The grilled halibut was delicious. The fish was moist and cooked to perfection. The taste buds were dancing just from the fish. The fries were good not too oily. The onion rings were delicious. Crispy and well cooked. I couldn't believe how good they were. The coleslaw was a nice touch to the cut of deep fried food taste. The tartar sauce was delicious. And finally the staff, they were very knowledgeable about their product and I found them very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place for fish and chips and of course I will be back! read more

Cool restaurant it floats on the water! Good pricing and excellent service! Has lots of history behind the restaurant. Fish was really good I like mine a little more crunchy though. We also ordered grilled oysters and they gave us fried but all in all good place to go eat! Calamari was AMAZING read more

Dockside Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Campbell River, British Columbia

Their menu looks great for a fish n chip shop on the bay, but they don't seem to actually offer most of the items. Or they run out really early. So don't get your hopes up for a salmon burger (yes it was salmon season), or a fancy donut. Parking is very limited so walk if you can. Good luck! read more

Decided to give it a try as it came highly recommend on google. Was a bit difficult to find but once we arrived it was great. Although it was a bit cool, we sat outside and had the fish and chips. Unfortunately they are out of the salmon ones so we had halibut and red snapper. Both were delicious. Great little place. read more

Best fishNchips in Campbell River. They also do amazing donuts for dessert. You can't go wrong with this place. Fast and friendly service. A great place for red snapper if you've never tried it before. read more

Best fish n chips in town, could compete with any in the province. Takes advantage of the incredible fresh seafood available in CR, takes a sustainable approach to its menu selection and offers great portions. Oh and the donuts are awesome as well. Location is superb cant say enough good about this place. If youre a tourist or local looking for a treat this place will not disappoint. read more

I hear good things about this place. I still yet have to visit myself to check out the eats, asked my father and he highly recommended the place read more

Awesome little gem for fish and chips. Great location and highly enjoyable especially in the spring/summer time. The food was really yummy! The snapper and chips I had was the best fish and chips ever. I personally enjoy a breaded fish and chips over the classic battered type. However, their fish in chips was light yet crispy, tender and flavourful. Loved it!oh and the staff was super friendly! I will definitely comeback to visit Campbell River and to this place! read more

Went to try this fish and chip place as our favourite place was closed and our guests wished fish and chips... well we were disappointed, the halibut was filets (thin)like a slab with a very very light batter, the fish was extremely dry and tasteless . Our guest found the same with theirs,we are all coastal people east and west and found this a bit disappointing . On the plus side the service was excellent and the dock side eating area is great.. note that the dock can get rocky ,so sea legs may be needed. The menu is extensive so lots to choose from and perhaps too much as I am sure most people come for the seafood. Would I go back? Probably not. But then again in their defence it was busy so perhaps an off day. Ours definitely didn't resemble the photos posted above. read more

In this location's previous life as a different business, it was merely a walk up fish n chip window with a few seats inside and a handful of tables outside. Things have changed. Dockside Fish and chips has been in business at this incredible location for over a year now. It's located floating in the Coast Marina, a small marina it shares with a few other businesses and a couple small docks. Right near the ferry terminal that services Quadra Island, Dockside has ample seating outside and quite a few tables inside as well. The newly renovated interior shares space with the compact, efficient kitchen separated by a counter. I really love the feel of sitting outside, bobbing up and down with the waves. Dockside has table service and is licensed, which makes it a great little secret spot to have a beer from the limited selection that they offer and just enjoy the sea air on a warm day. The food, however, is mediocre bordering on.... read the complete review at: www.vagrantfoodies.blogspot.ca read more

Thanks to yelp we stopped here on our way to telegraph cove. It's the start of the busy season and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but was friendly and attentive. They were out of the highly recommended halibut and Caesar salad, so my husband got the red snapper and I got the salmon fish and chips. The snapper was the better choice in my opinion- salmon is a delicious fish, I just don't think it ever needs to be breaded and fried. The chips were good- we didn't take them up on the bottomless refills- we were quite stuffed as it is. Cole slaw was fresh and not overly soaking in mayonnaise. I give this 4 stars because of the salmon- wish we had a chance to try their halibut and Caesar salad but I think they were unprepared for the rush of summer tourists. Recommend for sure. read more

Dockside Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Campbell River, British Columbia

Great fish and chips, fast service, and super nice staff make this a place to go to while in Campbell River. I may have overloaded on deep-fried fish - lol I'm not used to portions so big being from the prairies so I order three pieces. I think it was endless fries too but I was so stuffed I couldn't take them up on the offer - lol Go! read more

The halibut and chips was so good I almost replaced the bread-head in my profile photo with a picture of it! I'm also pretty lazy when it comes to reviewing but I was so impressed that I was compelled to share that the halibut and chips was the best I've had so far. Light batter and most importantly perfectly cooked... juicy-tender... I want more. Far exceeded my expectations. Fries were great too. read more

Terrible service, mediocre food and a dirty kitchen. Avoid is possible. Server wearing "MR Good Vibes" shirt was rude and aggressive with a child at a tables next to us. read more

The best thing about this spot is Patches, beyond that I struggled to find a positive. We were super excited to try this place after looking at the menu. However, the salmon was dry and thin. Additionally, the prices are WAY too high for what you receive. So bummed that this place was not better. read more

Hands down the best fish and chips ever. Michelle, the owner, makes you feel like family and greatly appreciates her customers. This is reflected in the quality of the food being served and the incredible service/ happy attitudes. Staff always seem happy to be there and go out of their way to deliver the best experience ever! I can't wait until the public health restrictions are lifted (COVID) so we can sit on the floating dock again--it's an amazing location. Regardless, so glad we can still have the food for take out because they hit it out of the park everytime! read more

Halibut Fish and Chips!! Fresh filets delicately battered and expertly fried, melted in my mouth. Great fries, crazy good poutine and finished off with a Caramel Apple doughnut. Friendly and efficient help. Would rate a "10"! Takeout only but a great little setting in the Coast Marina. read more

Good location at the dockside,Food overall verygood,owner super friendly and accommodating. I love oyster and it is only on the appy menu,Need them on the main menu I think. Only complaint is the menu lacking of "cod" they only serve "snapper type fish"need an alternative to high priced Halibut.Other than those few thing,I do recommend this place,enjoy. read more

Fish and chips were good but the seafood chowder was so disappointing for me! Potatoes weren't cooked and OMG the garlic overpowered what little fish there was in the chowder. I may have gotten 5 small chunks of salmon could find any other fish??? Wouldn't order it ever again. In fact next restaurant I order chowder I'll be certain to ask if there is garlic in it. read more

red snapper fantastic. fries also fantastic. coleslaw fantastic. craft beer from Beach fire brewing tasty. nicely done from a coupla landlubbers from Alberta read more

The fish here was good, with good sized portions. It wasn't supper busy, but the wait was a bit long(20+ min) which would suck in bad weather. read more

I stopped at the Dockside for a late lunch today. I had the single piece halibut fish and chips meal. It was excellent. The fish was fresh and correctly breaded for my tastes, not too think like some others. It was a good portion, filling me well with the fries and coleslaw. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean and well cared for. When I return to Campbell River, if fish and chips sound good, I will surely eat there again. read more

The best halibut fish & chips ever. Dockside is a bistro but the food is comparable to a 5* restaurant. Highly recommended!

Amazing food. We had halibut and there was the perfect amount of batter. Not much. Was so good we did not get a picture. Sorry

Service was extremely slow, the restaurant inside looks like a warehouse with supplies & food stacked up all around the customer area, very unappealing! We ordered a two piece red snapper & chips and a chicken club sandwich. The club which came as a wrap, was tasteless and burnt, the Caesar salad was very overdressed. The snapper tasted like old frozen white fish with greasy batter and the chips were hard on the outside, all lacking flavour! Very disappointed, will not go back nor recommend. read more

Just sat down at dockside, they took our order and then came back half hour later to tell us they were out of fish, all the fish, and the chicken, and the beef! It was close to closing time and our kids were very hungry, kind of poor management read more

This is my fave fish and chips place. The batter is light. The oil they use is fresh. You don't feel so heavy afterwards! Delicious! Highly recommend over the other well known place in town. read more

I will echo everything positive said previously. The Caesar salad is awesome. You can sit inside or outside. Service is friendly and fast. We had the halibut, and it was awesome. read more

So had a pretty long ferry wait to get to Quadra Island... and this place saved our bacon (and sanity!) with cheap popcorn shrimp and white wine (4 glasses of wine, a piña colada, and the shrimp were $42!) Suffice to say, this is the place to drop into if you've got a wait on your hands! read more

Rodé up from Nanaimo for a late lunch. Missed out on the Halibut but had the Red Snapper was well worth the ride up can't wait to come back and try the Halibut. Wife had the Salmon and really enjoyed it as well. They deserve the # 1 place in town for fish & chips. Well done! Might have to try out there doughnuts next time to they looked very tasty too. read more
