They used my favorite-beer batter which was perfect. We were disappointed with the fact that the fish wasn't from the area. Our server admitted this and that there was some regulation that didn't allow them to serve local fish. I wasn't sure exactly why. I had hoped for locally caught halibut or rockfish or something. But for fish brought in from the great unknown, it was good. My husband got creative and tried the Buffalo Cauliflower and Karaage Chicken. Both of them looked a little strange to me...The Buffalo Cauliflower was overly spicy hot. He didn't finish it. He liked the chicken better. A big shout-out to Camryn, our server. She was delightful! We really enjoyed talking to her. She was very personable and friendly. You'll be lucky if she's your server! The atmosphere in the pub was very nice. The prices were very reasonable!

Not only was it a good value because it came with prawn tacos to start and a large amount of coleslaw+fries, but everything was so hot and fresh. The batter was airy and light, both the fish and fries were very crispy and hot. There are both salmon and cod. I usually find that if the fish is salmon they overcook it and it tends to be dry, but this was perfect. They even gave us an extra piece of cod.

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.

The chips were OK and I thought the cod tasted the best over the halibut. It's a pretty popular place. There are wooden box benches outside to sit in the sun with your fish and chips.

Shore is exactly where it says... on the shore of stunning Qualicum beach. It reminded me of being in Hawaii.

All tables were full but they clear out fast. The ladies who took our orders were super sweet and even asked how we enjoyed our meal. Prices were normal for being on the island. The spicy shrimp tacos were fire . Nice and clean washroom there. Side table with all condiments and water. Really family friendly and lots of parking. Cant wait to come back!

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.

She gave us samples of pretty much everything she had to offer. I'll try to add some photos on this review, because I'm also adding this as a business to Yelp along with posting the review. You really can't get much fresher Salmon than this. Seafoam is the First Nation's community's fishing enterprise, Pacheedaht Fishing Corporation Inc. We picked one of the whole Smoked Pink Filet and a package of the Chinook Candy. The "candy" is big fresh chunks of Chinook Salmon that has been smoked and sweetened just a tad with brown sugar. It isn't too sweet, either... just the right amount. We drove from Port Renfrew two hours over to Nanaimo for the ferry, and literally opened up the Chinook Candy and ate it right out of the bag as we drove to the ferry terminal. It was one of the best things we had on our entire BC trip, too. We knocked out the Smoked Pink Filet later, and it was equally amazing. I believe the truck stops coming at the end of summer for several months in Port Renfrew, so you can look up Seafoam Seafoods online to locate other retail outlets during off-season. If you are in "Renny" during the summer season, be sure to drop in on this spot to buy fresh seafood right from the First Nations people. Get there early, because they do sell out of the most popular items first.
