Fresh Seafood Market with a Fish n Chip Shop
Only visited once. Haven't bought anything yet, we went to explore their products. Good supply of seafood from cod to salmon to shrimp, plus much more. Super friendly staff and knowledgeable. Definitely a destination place I plan to visit often on my trips to Penticton.
Fish and chips! Generous portions, good food, and pleasant staff. Last time we were here was 6 years ago and the place was much the same then as now. Hopefully we make it back before another 6 years go by!
Loved it! Tried some of their fish and chips, highly recommend, if nothing else just for the halibut. Amazing fish, cooked fork tender, and every bite was hot. Perfect batter that didn't take away from the flavor of the fish, and the chips were amazing, no salt or vinegar needed.
everytime we go there it is excellent- best fish and chips around …. and the fresh seafood is amazing. We really love the spring salmon …. and the staff are all so friendly and helpful
Great seafood place in Penticton. Went for their Monday special (fish and chips) and it was enough for both of us. Friendly service, will stop by again when I’m in the area
As many others mentioned, their fish and chip is amazingly delicious! I also ordered their crab cakes, yes it was 10/10 YUM!
Delicious seafood alert! I stopped in a few minutes before closing and ordered some fish and chips to go which were GREAT! The fresh fish from the display cabinets were put away since it was minutes before closing when I showed up BUT the staff were very helpful and let me order regardless of the time. The store had tons of products as well as fresh and frozen seafood for sale (cook books, rice, cedar planks, sauces, spices, canned fish, smoked fish, crab cakes, pate, panko, kings crab, seaweed etc ). You must stop in if you are passing by or call ahead and place a yummy to go food order! 🦞
This little gem is adorable and the people there are amazing and super friendly! Not to mention the fish n chips are really good too! They have a great selection of spice rubs, sauces and beautiful fresh fish! Impressed with these guys!
Love the fish and chips and all the fresh seafood and fish they offer for sale.
Excellent fish and chips. Good service and friendly.
Disappointed I ordered the fish and chips and found TWO pieces of hair baked into my fish AND FRIES. Couldn t continue eating the remainder of my food.
Halibut and chips perfectly cooked!
Sooo Good!
Best clam chowder in the valley.
Not too many choices in this place to buy Goods Quality Seafood but the giant ship I bought there were a major hit
The fish needed to be cooked for another minute or so! It was soft when I opened it up at home! It should be crispy!
Loved the fish n chips here freshly cooked and a friendly atmosphere.
The fish and fries were tasty as usual. The staff is very friendly and we had great service eating at the tables outside the store.
The clam chowder and toast were so good!
Featuring a good variety of fresh, frozen, and prepared fish and seafood.
hmmmm....
Ive only bought seafood there but this time I ordered fish & chips and sat in for lunch. It was delicious! I highly recommend Buy the Sea for your seafood needs and for lunch.
Great lunch special..freshest seafood..great staff !! Love having them right next door to our salon !!
Had the haddock special...fish was perfect...large filet...golden brown..fries were done correctly....its all the process..coleslaw was fantastic..yhe dressing was not overpowering and excessive...plate presentation was spot on...even the lemon was fresh and cold
Great service very nice clam chowder
Best fish and chip In BC!!! And the staff are pretty amazing people
The good : Very good fish and chips. Decently priced . I always get the haddock . The seafood selection is great! They have lots of good deep fried . Shrimp . Scallops and clams The chowder is awesome They even have good platters that you can satisfy most people The bad: The coleslaw is absolutely horrible . We have been coming here for 10 years or more and seems like its always very dry. We ask them to put extra dressing but they never do .. we have complained about it many times and even when friends and relatives come over they love your seafood but nobody eats the coleslaw For Me it seems they dont cook it enough. Some time you get the odd cook whos working and the fish is a bit doughy So I always ask for it to be extra crispy... just to make sure its done to my liking!
Best fish and chips in town.
Wow, amazing I love going to buy the sea. It s hands-down, the best seafood I ve ever had super friendly. The staff is very knowledgable at the menu, and the seafood is so fresh.
Best Salmon , best fish and chips , best everything
Quality has deteriorated under new ownership, Fries are either frozen or precooked. Order taker was rude and was given haddock when we ordered cod. Unlikely to return.
Just had the Gluten Free Halibut and chips and Im super impressed! Im gluten intolerant not by choice and have a hard time finding good take away food, Id recommend this even if your not Gluten intolerant! Thanks
Always excited to go for fish & chips, the service is always super friendly and the price is very reasonable. Enjoy the large selection of take out or dine in options. The staff are so knowledgeable and have given me great recipes. Definitely my favorite seafood store in the Okanagan!
My wife and I purchased a couple of pounds of manilla clams today to have a favorite dinner tonight. I have to tell you that our clams were as good as or better than weve ever eaten. We lived at the coast for 25 years and have traveled throughout Europe and nothing has been better than these clams. Please accept our thanks and keep up the great sourcing of products!!
Excellent food and service!
Great fish and chips A little expensive but what isnt these days
Very nice fresh seafood in a small city. Good work on the procurement. Best place for seafood. Excellent and knowledgeable staff. Go there!
Friendly, professional staff. If you like sea food, dont miss out on this one. My daughter and I were on Heaven indulging on crab legs.
Just come up from Princeton BC. for business. Craving fish and chips on a wim we decided on Buy The Sea Seafood. Im a fish and chips fanatic,. Im going to say that was the best Ive ever had. And the fresh seafood that they carry is next to nun. Thanks for great lunch see you next week.
Fantastic fish and chips! Breading was flavourful and the perfect thickness and colour. Fries were golden and cooked to perfection. The staff member with the black hat and t was tremendously personal and great with all patrons and other staff. Sounds like they were doing some training and it was very pleasant to listen to. Thanks! Well be back!
Wonderful smoked salmon, great King Crab legs
I had the lunch special, Haddock and chips. It was great.
Excellent food
Food was good, not great... Especially if taking to go. We found the menu overpriced, and there was little to no savings by ordering the family bundle. It was $100 for 6 piece Halibut & chips, with coleslaw & tartar sauce. (2pc Halibut & Chips was $32.99) so that was kinda weird.
Great fish n chips!! Lots on the menu! Great ownership:) Amazing fresh seafood.
Great shop. Nice service and awesome products. Our kids devoured the fish and chips - so did mom and dad
Good food. Nice atmosphere.
Such good food and friend service. So helpful. Thanks
Good value, always good food.
Best fish.
Great food and friendly staff.
Incredible fish and chips Absolutely must go Easiest recommend
Was a great place for a meal for fishnchips but fries are different with a. Season salt on them now ,turned me off right away ,just want regular fries with your fish
Two-piece cod and chips there was enough for two of us. Did take out, remember to ask for cutlery and condiments that you want. Prices on the sea food is very reasonable for an inland shop.
I felt like family as they greeted me! The halibut and chips were awesome. Their coleslaw was excellent. Best customer service as well. Thank you!
Always good
O my well where can I start . Have not been there for about 1year and a half . Went today to support the community. Had cod and chips the smallest piece of cod and the fries where cook way to much the girl seen my cod so she brought me another piece. My bf had a cod Burger had to send it back it was burnt. Well we tried but no luck .
We stayed in Penticton for 2 weeks in July , went for lunch at Buy the sea , it was amazing, fish was some of the best we ve had , and coming from a Scotsman I ve had a lot of fish in chips in my life , we went almost everyday for lunch . It s a definitely the place to go for the best fish and chips around . And the fresh inventory is vast , great selection and reasonably priced . Great job guys keep up the great work , we ll definitely be back , and anyone we know going down will be told to try it out . Excellent .
I must admit I was a little unsure after ordering and seeing how little food there was. 2 piece cod and chips. And one piece. Gravy, onion rings. My gf could only eat one piece. And tip $65. But once we got back to the hotel and say to eat I was amazed at how much fish I got. It was cooked perfectly. As were my fries. I literally licked my plate clean. I would definitely go back here for wonderful fish and chips and awesome staff. Next time I visit Penticton il be back for nore
Awesome shop
Had fish and chips it was a treat, and the food was awesome. Staff was supper friendly, nice size portions if your in Penticton its a must try.
This place is amazing!! Great selection of hot food (the spicy pickle fries ) and fresh or frozen seafood, which is locally sourced or from around the world! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend it to everyone!
Unfriendly, overpriced. Had a fish and chips lunch, paid over $40 for two mini portions . Not worth it.
Great fish and super friendly. Awesome custom made salmon burger!
Excellent fish and chips and chowders Lunch specials, freshest fish in town! Great service- they bring me my order to the car ! Thanks Chris and Fran and all the staff. Their home made garlic butters and salmon pate delicious

I have been coming to this location for a long time and every visit gave me a big smile on my face. I ate haddock fish and chips during my last visit and they were extremely tasty. Kris served me and he did a fantastic job looking after me. This is the place to go for seafood! Dont miss out!

Great fish and chips
I was so thrilled to find a place that did gluten free fish and chips. And they do them very well. Great service and great food. Lets not forget the very reasonable prices.
The best prawn tacos I have ever tasted! Highly recommend place to eat for everyone. A must believe me!! Wow
Their food is so good!
Ive always shopped here for my seafood in Penticton (they are sustainably sourced and SUPER knowledgeable), but Id never tried their dine-in/take-out food until last week. Amazing! My favourite is the shrimp bun with a small bowl of their white chowder, but Ive also had their cod, oysters, and chips--all delicious! 10/10 for service and friendliness as well. Its not the *cheapest* (expect to pay ~$20/person if there isnt a special), but for the quality of the ingredients (sustainably sourced), the portion sizes, and the deliciousness, its absolutely fairly priced, and well-worth the few extra bucks! Very impressed all around.
Perfect product, kind and respectful services.
Not oncè but twice my fish was undercooked! If you cant cook fish, dònt be in the businesss. Greasy and gross
Average price but the fish and chips had fantastic flavor.
Nice size servings. Great customer service.
Best fish and chips. Incredible service. Wonderful staff. 10/10 all around!!!!
Great staff, got recommended by a store in the apple plaza to try their smoked salmon, great recommendation cause the smoked salmon was excellent, and again the staff was great as well, hard working friendly attitude.
Not as many items as there used to be.
Best Fish & chips ever. There was the perfect amount of batter deep-fried to perfection
Lunch special, 1 piece of cod with fries and tartar sauce. $12.99 Delicious!!
Great service, fresh products
Delicious fresh Halibut and kind and friendly staff!!!!!
Awesome
Awesome place! Stopped in to check it out for the first time. Purchased a bunch of beautiful cod, tilapia, smoked salmon and mackerel,, some langostino lobster and some canned goods. Lots of selections. They also have great deals on lunch cooked to order.. I highly recommend stopping by..
The king crab purchased was excellent! Pricey but hey its king crab and people put there life on the line for us to have it!!
The only good place to buy seafood in the South Okanagan!!
Takeout was fast and fresh! Thank you for a wonderful dinner.
Very awesome salmon jerky, and salmon nuggets.. the 2 piece cod and fries is good..
What a great seafood shop! We stop by every time we pass through town. Always pick ip some seafood salad and some fresh salmon. Don t forget to grab some fish & chips to go, you won t regret it!! The Best!!!!
Best place to order fish and chips in my opinion! We return again and again. I like that i can place an order before i start my shift and its ready for me without having to wait.
Amazing super friendly.Fish is way better then Jeffers! In my opinion
The most exquisite fish and chips in Penticton. We ordered four portions of fish and chips, cod, haddock and a chowder soup. The chowder was a mouthwatering perfectly cooked soup. Cod and Haddock was very fresh , tasteful and totally delicious. Coleslaw salad was very fresh cut and nicely seasoned. Tartare sauce was just delightful. It was such a great surprise to enjoy such amazing food from a no trendy big name restaurant ! Support local! Thank you! Max .
Best fish and chips...period
The best fish and chips Ive had in years! Ordered the cod and chips and it was delicious. Fresh cut fries and great tartar sauce. Great seafood market as well.
By far the best Fish & Chips in Penticton; Quite possibly the south OK. Great portions, classic condiments and tremendous fries. You would be silly to go elsewhere.
Purchased fresh raw oysters for special dinner. Excellent! Advice given by staff was spot on.
Excellent fish and chips!
Great spot for fish and chips! They offer cod, haddock and halibut. All perfectly cooked and nicely battered.
I bought a beautiful piece of organic spring salmon and grilled it tonight with some pan seared scallops. The salmon was outstanding. Fresh, subtle flavour with a delicious creamy texture. I will no longer buy fish anywhere else. The new owners are super friendly and helpful.
The fish we bought from here was pretty good but very expensive.
Delicious food
Large portion,great food and service
Best seafood shop in Penticton. The fresh selection is excellent, and the jumbo scallops looked amazing. Great frozen options as well if buying well ahead of time. Looking forward to my next shopping trip
Food was great but a bit of a wait ,in the end worth it
Comparable to any fish n chips in the lower mainland,top notch quality...

Food was great as well as the service
The fish and chips was just OK and the prices were a bit high but good to be able to find seafood locally
Excellent fresh fish,Clean environment,Friendly people working.
Maybe I misunderstood what this place was about, but I expected fresh seafood, mainly from the Pacific only being a few hours away. But it was previously frozen Atlantic shrimp, frozen salmon... I dunno, not what I had hoped for.
Had the fried oysters and fries with slaw. Very good! Will be back.
Fresh seafood and fish and chip place. We ordered lunch for 2. We are going to picnic in the park.
First time back in 5 years. Staff still has same great attitude and, if course, seafood. Best salmon burgers weve had.
Good food and service
Ive ordered fish and chips here before and always good but this time the french fries had too many small burnt pieces and loaded with grease. It was like they were stuck in the bottom of the basket and I was The Unlucky One to get them.
Excellent service and great fish. Their fish and chips are really fantastic!
Got two shrimp on a bun; most excellent take out! Friendly people, great service!
Excellent takeaway cod nchips...as good as any in England !! Hot, not lukewarm; fish solid, batter crisp..Good value, too. Friendly people.
This is our go to place in Penticton for seafood. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and the quality is always great.
Have had great take out cod and fries numerous times. Today...the fish was tough...overcooked..and fishy tasting. Coleslaw tasted old as well. Very disappointed...as my Mom loves to go there for it. We were all disappointed.
Very fresh seafood, clean store and really nice staff. Takeout food is delicious and excellent service.
Ordered the 5 oyster dinner. Oysters were tiny and one was a fragment of an oyster with no meat. I will not go back.
Tasty fish, good choice of fresh seefood.
Great Food!
Had lunch here yesterday and the staff were very friendly. The fish n chips was somewhat to be desired. The batter was soft and soggy with grease and there was absolutely no taste to the fish at all. All very overpriced. Sorry but will not be back.
Yummy fish n chips and chowder and great fish
Fish is a healthy foods and it is really good i try to get it every week.....

We were there on Saturday, overpriced for the fish and chips. The coleslaw was awful. Never again.
