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.

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.

Shore is exactly where it says... on the shore of stunning Qualicum beach. It reminded me of being in Hawaii. We walked into a very short line during lunch and placed an order for a burger, shrimp tacos, fries and two root beer milkshakes. We were given a buzzer and waited. 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!

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.! "

This fish and chips / seafood spot is fairly touristy in a prime location, and what is special…read moreabout this place is that it is on a floating dock. We got the 2pc halibut fish and chips which was a bit pricy over the cod since I've always had fish and chips with cod so I wanted to try something different. It came with fries and Cole slaw, both of which were okay. They were very stingy with the tartar sauce so it was barely enough for the fish only, and I typically like to dip my French fries with tartar sauce when I eat fish and chips instead of ketchup. And extra sauce is $1. When I'm already paying almost $30 for the order, at least be a bit more generous and not nickel and dime. Also, the fish is decent texture, meaty, but a bit dry, so it was a little underwhelming of a meal.

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.

My wife and I were a little apprehensive about trying this restaurant, as there were no reviews on…read moreYelp, and those on Google were less-than-enthusiastic, although looking more in depth, it seems that the negative reviews were all several years old, and things seemingly had improved significantly in recent years. And while there are no shortage of seafood restaurants serving fresh crab on the Steveston waterfront, we wanted to give The Crab King a fair shake. I'm so glad that we did! My wife ordered a King Crab for herself which, after tearing it literally limb-from-limb, eventually declared it to be tied for her favorite boiled crab dish anywhere! High praise coming from such a consummate crustacean connoisseur! For myself and our son, an order of fish and chips, and the grilled chicken sandwich rounded out our order, both of which were crispy, tasty and delicious. Regarding the fish and chips, they appeared to be tempura-battered, and I'm still not 100% sure what type of fish it was. It may have been cod, but it seemed more like catfish, but either way, it was tender, juicy, flaky and delicious. No complaints here! More than anything, though, the employees here went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. Our toddler son, who is normally extremely well-behaved in restaurants, was having a bit of a fuss here and there. Without prompting, the servers brought us a little radio to play music for him, as well as a couple of toys to play with, one of them being a wind-up truck that they gave to him to take home! He loved it there, and still plays with it at home! They even played peek-a-boo with him from behind the counter, soliciting laughs and giggles, for the better part of 15 minutes! That sort of customer service is nearly impossible to find, and should be praised and cherished wherever it is found! Whatever the past may have held for this restaurant, the Crab King is an entirely new animal now, serving up fresh seafood by uncommonly wonderful employees, in a fantastic floating location. They even offer to cook spot prawns and other seafood purchased from the boats docked at the nearby waterfront marketplace, for a modest fee. With all these things going for it, there's no doubt who wears the crown of Crab King in Steveston Harbor!
