    Fish and chips + chowder
    Claire L.

    Literally incredible every time. The fish and chips are sooo crispy and delicious! And the chowder is literally the star of the show- out of this world. The staff is also always friendly!! Line can get long but so worth the wait. Cannot recommend enough!! We stop by every time we come to Victoria without fail.

    Fried pickles!

    Wow! We had such a delicious lunch at Red Fish Blue Fish today! The service was quick for such a long line of patrons. The restaurant sits right on the inner harbor & is loved by both locals & visitors. Try the chowder. It's to die for! Mmm

    Chowder
    Vicky P.

    Wow, best fish and chips I have ever had. This place looks so unassuming, I did not expect this little tiny place operating out of a shipping container to be so good, but every time we walked past it, it had a line of people and it turned out to be the best food we had on our trip to Victoria. The fish was fresh, hot, and perfectly battered and fried. Fries were so good. Grilled salmon was great and loved the toppings. The chowder was soooo good too. Great place to hang out by the water too with lots of seating. So good!!

    Really tasty! Great fries, good sauce... I even enjoyed the yam taco (vegetarian) with great flavors. It was actually worth the wait in line.

    Perfect meal. Friendly service. Beautiful ambiance. You really just can't ask for much more. Everything on the menu is delicious - all the fish wraps and filets are cooked perfectly. The soup is also a nice way to wash everything down. You overlook the harbor and can see boats docking as you munch on the result of their labor.

    Noticed this place because of the long lines I see when I visit Victoria. So glad I checked it out as it's some of the best fish & chips i've ever had. Basically a shack with some seating spots along the marina. Has its charm and nice views while being outdoors. Servers are friendly and the process is straightforward. Order and wait for them to call your name. I tried the tacone, which is basically a wrap with the ingredients. Not bad, but the star of the show is their fish & chips. Excellent batter on the fish - not too thick, nicely fried, crunchy, and tasty. I got mine with cod and it was moist, tender, and BIG. The fish pieces are nicely sized and generous. Their French fries (chips) are also very well made. Good flavor even without ketchup. Definitely tried this place out if you're in town. It's worth the wait.

    Best halibut n cod ever!!! Fresh- hot, flavorful n generous portions! Friendly staff. Had the halibut plate n single cod.

    Had to stop here prior to getting on the ferry back to Port Angeles. The flavor and freshness of the ingredients was amazing. We got the Wild Salmon Tacones and the Cod Dog. I don't know what's in the million island sauce but my goodness I need more of that in my life. Both dishes were phenemonal but I would order the Wild Salmon Tacones again and again and again. The Cod Dog was worth it but it's pretty rich and decadent.

    Seafood Chowder

    This little food stand is located along the harbor. First time I passed by it was around 4:00 and there was no one in line. I came back with the family around 6:00 and I ended up waiting over 30 minutes before it was my turn to order. I only ordered the chowder and 1 piece BC Halibut fish and chips meal as my kids don't like fish, so we planned on eating somewhere else for them. Fish was tasty, fries were crisp, chowder was great but was super hot! We left it alone for a while to cool off before we could consume it. The coleslaw was yummy too! Limited seating available. They have a few chairs under umbrellas - but no proper table, just a low table, so we were hunched over our food. There are some counters you could stand along side, and a few tables towards the rear of the restaurant. This place earned a 5 star because they make fish tasty enough for my non fish eating kids. They liked it so much, I only ended up having a couple bites of the fish - darn I should have ordered more.

    Puppy treats!

    Food - ok im not a fish taco person, so i got the sweet potato and dang it was delicious. who would have thought. very crisp & fresh. they gave my pup a little salmon treat too. Service - very friendly once you get to the front of the very long line, basically no matter what time of day you go. Ambiance - no indoor seating, try to find a spot somewhere on the pier. theres plenty of seats and umbrellas but this place is beyond busy. they even have their own stop if you are taking the water taxis. the line wrapped around the dock and went up the ramp and we were there on a weekday in the AFTERNOON. not even a standard meal time. we passed by this place on the water taxi later at night and it was stilllllll busy! i will say though, worth the wait for me and i didnt even have the fish.

    To manage your expectations, a couple things first: This is not a fancy sit down restaurant. This is a place where you will likely stand in line 30-45 minutes to queue up to the order window. (Bring a book?) This place has amazing food! Drink selection is non-alcoholic. Views are great and right on the waterfront. There are some seats or stand up area to eat your food but they do not offer table service. I had a bowl of chowder and split the 2-piece halibut and chips. But were great (big piece of fish in the the chowder!) and we split a sprite (Coke products are offered as fountain drinks and they have a couple of other sodas by the can). Food was piping hot and the fries were great! We had good weather (but it was a little blustery and cool in the shade so be prepared). We enjoyed watching the seaplanes, seagulls and water taxis. Overall, nice place for a casual and delicious meal!!

    A balanced early dinner, didn't even need the chips--would get extra pickles.

    Fresh, hot, barely there batter fish and chips with a leafy pickled salad and light slaw with malt vinegar and lemon-dill Cesar dressing? Perfection--no notes! It was a typical PNW drizzle on a Thursday early evening and we finally had room to try this happening place. Service was quick and thoughtful with a variety of choices for such a small place. Umbrellas held up nicely against the rain and the root beer should be called Heinz 57 because they literally threw it all in there. Will be back every time we are here!

    We were really lucky to have gotten there around sunset on a Sunday and there was no line. I was reading previous reviews and vlogs that said sometimes the line is long. Maybe we went on a good day? It's right on the dock so you can watch the beautiful sun set over the water as you eat your food bar stool style We ordered essentially all their different fish on the fish and chips (wild salmon, BC halibut, pacific cod). Our favorite was the halibut. The fries were well seasoned and crispy. FISH AND CHIPS Tempura battered with tartar sauce, coleslaw and chips BC Halibut Pacific Cod Wild Salmon 1 piece meal $23 $17.50 $17.50 2 piece meal $34 $24 $24 We also ordered the chowder. Very unique and interesting with the coconut milk. Creamy. And there was ample seafood that you are not skimped on contents of soup. Chowder $8.25/cup $11.75 /bowl Chipotle coconut, sweet corn, pacific white fish confit, green onions

    Fish and chips were delicious. The chowder was excellent. Expect waiting in line too. Watching the sea planes land and take off were cool.

    It is really pretty in here. I called on a late Sunday afternoon to see if they have a happy hour…read more The host was so helpful & encouraging. We all walked over & had a great time. We did not eat, but we did have a couple drinks. Very good, served by a wonderful server. We sat in a beautiful,comfortable area between the bar & the restaurant. I highly recommend coming here, enjoying their beautiful space & have a drink. Enjoy!

    My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Grand Pacific for 3 nights. Our first night dined from the…read moremore limited menu of Fathom and neither of us were pleased. My spouse had the chuck and brisket/bacon burger with fries. The chef would not prepare it medium but well done only. Complaints were a dry, possibly pre formed and frozen meat patty...the veggies were necessary for moisture. I had the buttermilk chicken "schnitzel" with fennel salad and potatoes. The fennel salad consisted of 2 1/2 thin shaves of fennel. The potatoes were good. The chicken was most likely 3 oz and pounded literally as thin as paper and deep fried within an inch of its life! The dish was small or meager size and I don't need a lot to feel satisfied but simply didn't with this dish of greasy, overcooked paper thin chicken. Ugh. Chocolate torte for dessert....although thin, it was rich and delicious. We shared the white bean mezze for a starter, the hummus was good and the pickled carrots very good. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice, dark with deep colors and chill. The feeling we had was this restaurant trying to be a 5-star, chic culinary adventure (small portions but amazing food); however they fell very short. Unfortunately this hotel offers no other kitchen or menu for guests and room service. You won't find a delicious and varied menu here...you are stuck with Fathom. Do yourselves a favor and enjoy a culinary adventure outside of the hotel - every restaurant we have dined in (every time we ferry over to BC) has been yummy, with the exception of Fathom.
