The…read moreline was dauntingly long, but it moved relatively quickly (really, there are menus posted while you wait, so you should be ready to go when you reach the order window, but my American is showing). Put simply, this is among the best fish and chips I've ever had. I got the one piece halibut and the bisque. The bisque has a chipotle coconut base, and it's unique and delicious. The fish was fried to perfection, and the halibut inside was a steamy triumph. I added some chipotle lime mayo for the chips. The tartar was lemony and crisp. Chips had that perfect crunchy outer shell with the pillowy potato innards. Cooked to perfection fish and chips while you watch the takeoff and landing of seaplanes. O Canada!

It's a really cool spot right on the pier where you grab your food, find your own seat outside, and enjoy the beautiful water views while you eat. We decided to just order a piece of fish, and wow -- the $15 piece was HUGE! It was fresh, flavorful, and really well prepared. Such a fun, casual place to stop for a delicious meal while enjoying the scenery.

Cole slaw was bland. Don't bother. Might go back for fish and chips (they can clearly fry things nicely) or the halibut burger. Outside table was nice in the spring sun.

The deep fried halibut was amazing and had a LOT of white flaky fish, not a lot of batter of crust like most places. The tartar sauce was great as well, with a hint of dill. This is a walk-up small place that was recommended by many locals! The fish takes 10-15 minutes and comes out very hot and tasty. There are tables available in front and on the side of the walk-up counter. A must try! There is also a fresh fish market to the rear of the building. A hidden gem!

I'm a lookie-loo and I'm sure other tourists are too, so maybe it's only by private appointment for serious home buyers...Anyway, you can still admire the houses, as well as peer down into the depths to see the sea creatures - quite a few sea anemones and fish down there.
