Staff were really helpful in working to help me find good ingredients within my budget. Everything was fresh and delicious and I'll be coming back to try their in-house food. Photo is of a paella made with shrimp, rice, prawns, and mussels from Oak Bay Seafood.
In our two visits, we had their fish and chips, popcorn shrimp, risotto, calamari, and chowder. We also chose to grab a few things from the freezer, the ahi tuna, squid and a Seafood Pot Pie.The popcorn shrimp had hardly any coating on it and was mostly soft. The pot pie was terrible. Brought it to the office and baked it in our oven at work and the strong fish smell stank up the entire place and the smell lingered the next 2 days. Not only that, it was a single portion of what seems like leftover chowder with puff pastry on top. It was runny, smelly, expensive and didnt taste good. On a positive note, the staff are helpful and friendly, the rest of our meals were tasty. Definitely do not recommend the pot pie!
Ordered lunch here 3 times in 4 days! The quality of the seafood stands above all else. But the recipes are mostly good, not great. Additionally, some items have been inconsistent. Items Ordered - - Salmon Belly Bites (Small) - Fish Stew (Large) - Red Cabbage Slaw (Small & Large) - Fish Tacos (Halibut & Salmon) - Fried Oysters (Small) - Wasabi Aioli - Chipotle Mayo The Bad Fish Stew - much too light on meat, over powered by dill, a moderate amount of spice, didn’t taste any of the seafood between the dill and heat. Missing bread & butter that was mentioned in the description. At $17+ on Skip, this was a serious disappointment. Every other fish item I’ve ordered has had significantly more meat for less money. The Okay Fish Tacos (Tuesday Special) - Quality fish! Fresh! Great flavour! Well cooked! But the taco shell, salsa, and slaw paired with it was underwhelming. Large size, loaded with a massive amount of meat which was appreciated but unfortunately left the taco unbalanced. Would prefer 3/4 tacos with less meat each. Got both Halibut & Salmon, each has a different marinade/treatment, otherwise the same toppings. Have to commend Oak Bay Seafood for updating their app menu with limited availability specials! The Good Red Cabbage Slaw - A little over dressed upon first ordering, second time it was a little under. Now, I prefer a lightly dressed slaw so it was better the second time. Dressing itself was thin and light. It paired nicely with the fat of the fried oysters. Order the large - 3 to 4 times the quantity for double the price. Fried Oysters - Perfectly cooked, as is to say for all of the seafood from here. Not chewy, exceptionally tender, crisp batter. Paired well with the chipotle mayo, and the slaw. I did try to order these late Tuesday afternoon and they were sold out, but no problems ordering as first thing on Thursday. Wasabi Aioli - not a big fan of wasabi, but pleasantly surprised by how well balanced it was! Chipotle Mayo - great accompaniment to fried items, like the oysters. More heat than smoke. Salmon Bites Day Two - as pictured on Skip/DD, soy glaze & sesame, tender meat, delicious but disappointing compared to… The Holy Grail Salmon Bites Day One - 11/10 I considered not reviewing this item, as to keep it a secret for myself, they were just so incredible. Perfectly tender meat, crisp skin and in a similar but different sauce than pictured/received on day two. It was darker and thicker. It seems that they might have used a different brand of soy sauce OR substituted fully/partially the sugar with molasses/brown sugar OR left the sauce to reduce on the stove longer than normal OR a combo of all three. And that sauce pushed this excellent item to another level. In an odd way, they reminded me of chicken wings - tender meat, crisp skin, coated in a thick and sticky glaze. This item comes with a side sauce, and I tried it with Wasabi Aioli but it only detracted from the excellent glaze that was already on the salmon. Now, why write a review about a fluke? Well, because I’m pleading with the owners of Oak Bay Seafood to investigate what was different about the Monday, July 29th sauce and consider changing the recipe. Getting these bites, with this sauce -despite being the same order as the Fish Stew- is what pushed myself to order twice more. It cannot be understated how good this dish was! Overall Comments Service - As all of my orders were done with apps (Skip & DoorDash), I can’t comment on in-person service. Items were all packaged and bagged well. Packaging was compostable, or recyclable. No napkins as per BC law! First place I’ve seen in compliance. :) Value - The seafood is a great quality, and a large quantity for the price! However, it seems sides like fries, slaw, soup/stews and sauces are priced at a premium which is unorthodox. Although, in my books it all shakes out in the wash, given the quality and value on the fish/seafood itself.
The fish and chips were very yummy, batters were nice and thin. The flavor is light, fresh. Staff were friendly. Would definitely return to try other items.
I was thoroughly impressed with the halibut—fresh, perfectly fried, and complemented by fantastic tartar sauce and wasabi aioli. However, the popcorn shrimp was a bit of letdown, as the shrimp were too tiny to enjoy. The chips and coleslaw were decent. Everything was best consumed immediately. Even with just a 5-minute drive, the steam affected the lemon and made the batter slightly soggy. I would definitely try another halibut from here.
Gluten-free goodness in Victoria BC. Checkout @oakbay.seafood for a great place to not only pick up some fresh seafood but also a large variety of gluten-free food in the restaurant side od the store! Fish and chips. Fried calamari. Popcorn shrimp. Fried oysters……and so many other choices! They use a chickpea and rice flour batter to coat the fish. Such a great treat - eat in or take out and go sit by the ocean!
Was looking forward to a local business but Not impressed, expensive compared to other fish and chip restaurants. Very small portions. The chips were soft and not crunchy. The grilled fish was tiny and cold. The popcorn shrimp was barely cooked and way too salty. Was supposed to be a memorable family dinner, definitely not trying again.
One of the best places to enjoy GLUTEN FREE everything! The menu has so many great options to cater to gluten free needs without compromising on flavour and texture. We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of food and feasted on some delicious crab as well. In addition to great menu items, there’s also a wonderful selection of pantry foods and house made products you can purchase (soups, pickles and frozen seafood items). The only downside is they close at 7pm, so you need to plan for lunch or an earlier dinner. There are limited tables and the ambience isn’t anything fancy. Overall, great value and amazing seafood options. Friendly staff and great food! Worth a stop if you are in Oak Bay.
Used to be good. I know there is a kot of effort behind every local business that s why I am giving a 4 star rating. My last visit wasn t pleasant. I hope they get their service where it used to be. I won t be visiting for a while.
Fresh seafood. Delicious fish and chips, didn t like the seafood soup
Had company not impressed , very soggy & cold , no tartar , coleslaw . We were embarrassed.
The meal I had was the halibut and chips. The halibut was lovely but barely any chips and $25 for one piece of fish and a scattering of fries was lacking.
Fish was very good with a generous portion, unfortunately fries were a little undercooked and were a little hard inside
Such good food and lots of gluten free options. Highly recommend the seafood risotto
Excellent selection of seafood and my go to place for oysters
Used to be our go-to for fish and chips but quality has declined in the past year. Last time, the halibut was nothing but mush. They also mess up orders frequently.
Just had 4 of the freshest, most perfectly prepared steamed whole crabs today from OB Seafood. Superb. Kudos to the kitchen!
Steamed Oysters are fresh and delicious.
15days past due and I still havent been paid. Very shady company.
The food is really good here and most of the staff are friendly and professional. However there is one older gentleman who works there who is not very friendly, especially to non-white people. If you are not white, try not to deal with him.
Best food around, can t beat the service too.
Great GF fish and chips
Totally gluten free and the fish and chips are great!
Always good. Its our go-to place for fish and chips. My wife is Celiac and appreciates their gluten-free version.
Great food!)
Had the halibut and chips, fish was really cooked well, coating was really crispy
Best Salmon Benne and Cod Fish N Chips. Could not have been more pleased with our brunch visit. The food was exactly what we were craving and the size of fish was plentiful. A single piece of fish may be enough for some but a double is definitely worth the extra cost.
Oak Bay Seafood has excellent fish and chips. They understand take-out and how to let the fish rest before boxing it up. Well done.
Meal very mediocre some fish chewy not fresh Order was 120$+ without any tarter sauce for the fish and chips which should be standard. The small coslaw not worth price it is the size of ketchup container. Not to mention I had to reach out to skip the dish delivery because MISSING the order if fish, poorly packaged, half the fries not in container in the bag and requested gluten free bun less salmon burger and that was not what they gave me. One piece of the fish was smaller than filet o fish at McDonalds size. So very disappointing meal 2hrs later didnt bother take photo
Highly recommend. Super tasty, fresh food & friendly staff! The salmon belly bites, fish and chips as well as the chowder are fantastic
Great shop that I have frequented many times. But you got to get rid of that nasty rude man working in restaurant part tonite. Gray hair older. ......unfortunately he gets zero for customers service. Very very rude
Delicious, fresh made fish and chips
Curry seafood soup-Meh Expenses they were low on stock when we went in
Outdated website, Very tasty smoked salmon
Good food and good service.
Best fish & chips in town by far! They could stand to be a little more generous with the chips though. Ooh, try the candied salmon sticks!
Thank u for our 5 orders of halibut dinner everyone was so pleased with their order
Staff was fantastic and knowledgeable
We got fresh oysters to go and they were delicious. Vendor was nice and helpfull. Fair price for quality. Strongly recommend.
Solid fish and chip shop with market. Fast and friendly!
When a semi-regular and previously happy customer spends $132 on gf fish & chips for a family meal and takes the time to let you know it was an unsatisfactory product (and that you received a tub of Caesar dressing instead of tartar sauce), you should accept that feedback, not argue with them.
Our to go store when we decide for seafood all day meals at home. Fresh and affordable. They actually pick the ones that are great and throw the bad ones. They don t give bad ones to cover the weight or something. The store never disappoints us.
Excellent and fresh fish every time. Also the seafood stew and chowders are 10/10, don t pass them up. Staff is also very friendly and helpful!
Great casual fish-and-chips spot.
Love their fish tacos..fresh, tasty and good portions..owner is super professional and friendly..enjoy this gem.
The chef and the crew were helpful to explain the menu and gave me a pasta salad to sample as well. Very hospitable to me and my wife. Pasta salad is a must try and the fish and chips are great too..
I had the shrimp sandwich, and it was pretty good. The bun was a little stale and dry, but the shrimp salad inside was good. I just expected a little more I guess. Staff was very pleasant and kind.
Was visiting from Regina Sk and stumbled on this gem. Picked up a few items for a BBQ and they were all so delicious.
One of the better fish and chip places in and around Victoria in both quality and price. They are a very friendly crowd, with unusually responsive customer service. A decent selection of fresh fish and frozen fish items. Highly revommended.
I come here at least once a week. I m obsessed. Delicious! Tons of gluten free and safe for celiac options. I myself have celiac disease and am very very careful with where/what I eat and I have never had an issue. Fresh fish and delicious fries! Fryer is dedicated GF. Tons of pre-prepared take home GF options too.
Have been buying crabs from Oakbay seafood since 2016 back when the shop was in downtown and started enjoying the fish & chips in the Oakbay location. All is great until this summer (we are only here in the summer). We are charged for crabs for a price without knowing what the price per pound is, and the halibut is tasteless/stale (the coating and the fries are still good). Very disappointed.
Very good Pacific products, the smoked clams are excellent, the clam and fish chowder was really good and I fell in love with the candy salmon.
I packed fish and chips, but the French fries were soaked in oil, so I threw them all away.
To much batter on the fish, im from Scotland so its hard to compare
Our go-to neighbourhood fish and chips shop. We love any of the fish meals, popcorn shrimp, oyster po-boy and the Cesar salad. Ordering online is simple and their gluten free batter is crispy and delicious
I highly recommend this seafood shop as it serves the best and freshest halibut fish and chips ever!. The staff are very friendly, the decor is cheerful and the seafood selection, both fresh and frozen, is great. The fried fish was very crisp, flaky and favourable and the chips are fresh, firm and hand cut. I will be back for more!!!!! Thx Folks
Good selection and friendly staff.
Oakbay Seafood is truly a gem when it comes to offering a top-notch takeout experience! You can tell they are committed to offering only the freshest and highest quality products. Tuesday taco is one of our favorite. Cant wait to place our next order and savour their oceanic delights once again.
Ordered five pieces of fish and only one was delivered
Very tasty Taco Tuesday salmon fish tacos. Reliable and courteous service. Take out always ready right on time.
Friendly staff and high quality products!
Great food and friendly staff! Definitely coming back.
One of the best gluten free fish and chip spots! Bit on the expensive side but none the less delicious.
Had the best ever fresh clams and really yummy rockfish from here. Really good customer service and reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.
Favourite place for a quick bite in Oak Bay. Had the salmons belly bites and fries and they were delicious!
This place doesnt care about food allergies. Ordered the Oyster Burger without tomato due to allergy, yet got the biggest slice of tomato I have ever seen.
Big piece of hair in my mouth from eating a piece cod batter had hair in it! Disgusting
I ordered fish and chips last week, found that the two pieces of fish are rubbery in texture and hard to bite. Pretty well inedible. The chips are full of oil and salt, they must have placed in a ton of salt to camouflage its taste. The chips were absolutely drowned in a greasy mess of oil and salt. Save yourselves from this totally unhealthy food...dont go there. I won t be visiting again.
Best fish and chips in town with the most delicious tartar sauce plus super fast service! Their seafood risotto is also incredible!
Great
Fresh seafood! Good prices!
We always enjoy our Friday night fish and chips. Not at all greasy, fabulous fish and great service The fish and chips continues to be excellent. Delivery by Fantuan not so much- no way to track the order, the App was in Mandarin and I dont read it !!!, I could not access the English version on my phone or Macbook Air. I will be sure to find an alternative delivery next week.
Best seafood I have had in a while. The retail stuff were fresh and the calamari from the kitchen was unbelievably good.
Chef Vi is an evil mastermind in the kitchen. Truly great food.
Heard the fish n chips were good and ventured in for a fish burger. As salmon and oyster were the options, I settled on the salmon. I may return to try the fish n chips, one day (for take out; tables are provided but ambience is lacking).
Not recommended, after getting soggy fish brimming with oil !
Had gf fish and chips today on recommendation of reviews. Ordered one piece of fish but got two because cook thought one was too small. I did it justice. Delicious Not fancy but great ambience. Thanks
Ambiance ok. Food is v good.
Salmon Burger is the BEST! Taco Tuesday is a must try!
Super delicious and well prepared fish and chips!
Great quality and value!
Food was mediocre , fish not deep fried enough . Arrived cold . Would not order again from them .
Tough call here. I love the local feel. But the chowder we got was mostly broth, and the broth wasnt even great. The fish and chips are significantly smaller portions compared to Finest at Sea, and the quality might be a tad less too, despite being more expensive.
In the past we have always appreciated good value for the salmon burger as it had a good sized piece of salmon. Last night there was way more bun than salmon. Also, the side of slaw was $3.50 for approximately 2tablespoons. Shrinkflation!!
Ordered the halibut, chowder and the popcorn shrimp. Sauce is heavenly and seafood is very fresh. Will definitely come back each time in Victoria!!!
Ordered online it came to me very fresh steamed crab ~ but I want to order online again it seems no more steamed crab available??
Fresh seafood, big crabs, good candied and smoked salmon. Friendly staff. Parking is a bit small.
Good quality fish(halibut) & chips. Turn around was quick. Staff was friendly and efficient. Very clean and bright. Local driven clientele.
Great food, great service
Best fish and chips I ve ever had. Great smoked salmon too!
A wonderful selection of fresh and frozen, cold & hot smoked filets, other seafood, stews and fish, crab, & halibut cakes, salads to go, and delicious fish and chips too! We really like coming here. Everyone is super friendly and kind. They never disappoint!
Friendly staff, seafood was fresh and cheaper than Fisherman Wharf
We ordered the halibut fish and chips. Meal was delicious, good quality and GLUTEN FREE! Thank you!
Just fantastic gentle man sever us was friendly and very helpful
Gluten free fish and chips! Light and tasty, not drowned in batter. Recommend if you cannot have gluten or even if you can. Ill be ordering again
Best fish and chips I ve ever had! The tartar sauce was devine, chips cooked to perfection and the fish crisp and fresh. We order crabs to go as well for dinner that night. Delicious!
Cheers for a good neighbourhood poissonnerie! This isnt JUST a fish and chips place. Its a fresh fish store with good product and charming, helpful staff. The people behind the counter always say or do something spontaneous that makes me smile. They add value with an astute suggestion, or say something appropriate and funny, or multitask cleverly to keep things moving for everyone efficiently. And the fish has always been perfect.
We had takeout fish and chips and it was quite good
We stopped by to get mussels since we promised a guest steamed mussels and this was the only place in town we could find some (from PEI) during our local mussel spawning season. Next time we ll make sure we can get local mussels before inviting guests for mussels!
Fantastic..a great addition to the hood. Friendly staff, good food at fair price.
Our Spring Summer place !
Best salmon burger I have ever had! Can t wait to try the rest of the menu!! Highly recommend
Workers said its gluten free and they use no beer batter for the fish and Chips. Got the Halibut, grilled salmon bun and fried shrimp. Halibut and salmon bun were great, definitely recommend. The shrimp was on the smaller side, size and portion wise. Dont recommend the shrimp.
Very solid fish here, good deep fried oysters, good fries (much better than they used to be) varied menu. More consistent than Willows Galley, fish not quite on par with Finest at Sea, but the trade off is much easier parking and convenient location.
Excellent fish!!!
Awesome food, great service. I love their shrimp popcorn!
Really good selection of fresh seafood, and the takeout is a great way to go. Fast and friendly!
Good place to eat
Great freesh seafood.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I was surprised it was not busy. Fish and chips were superb, as were the salmon burger and fish stew. Weve got to go back to try the chowder next time. The store was clean and organized, with a range of frozen seafood and other meal items.
One of the best fish places in Vic.
Looking for fresh seafood? This is the place. So fresh! Took home a frozen stew for later and it was fantastic too. I only wish I had more time to try everything!
These guys are amazing!! They didnt have my favorite oysters but hooked us up with BETTER! Highly recommended the fish and chips there! The guys who work there are super friendly and professional. They know their stuff.
Super cod and fries, if nice out get a seat in their covered seating.
Fantastic great service delicious food halibut so good
Best Battered Fish I have had on the Island
We bought some fresh oyster from them. The lady was very helpful and honest. She actually pick and throw out the bad ones .
Nothing like great take out for seafood dinner
It was closed although the sign and the internet said it would be open.
Great great seafood. Fish and chips are fantastic and new meal items like Risotto hits the spot
This is a great place, when it is open. At 12:20 on a Sunday afternoon it is dark and closed. Perhaps they took the Labour Day weekend completely off? Perhaps someone forgot to open it up? Perhaps? Perhaps? Perhaps? And why does the Neon/LED sign saying OPEN stay on all night long?
Good choice for seafood and take out. Shame they had to discontinue their fish stew due to ingredient costs. It was awesome.Their hearty fish stew is back!!!! Try it if you like ciopinno style
Im very pleased with my takeout meal of fish and chips from this establishment! The batter was crispy and fish perfectly cooked. The tartar sauce was lemony and delicious. A must-have when I return to Oak Bay next time!
I can t get over the delicious quality of these gluten free fish and chips. Over the moon this place exists!
Friendly, helpful staff and fresh seafood. And they have a window to buy fish and chips as well as other hot items for purchase.
Excellent fish and chips that you would never know are gluten free!
Beautiful little locally owned shop with excellent, fresh seafood as well as a fine selection of other locally produced foods (Jenny Maries Crackers, Saltwest, Pixie Chicks Spices, Cowichan Pasta...). Thanks for the super fresh lox to go on my homemade bagels!
So salty I had to throw it away. Tried the salmon belly bites and the popcorn shrimp. It was such a shame, as theyre the only place my gluten free friend can eat fish and chips.
I had the fish, halibut, and chips. Good portions, crispy, piping hot and delicious. All round good experience. I keep coming back.
I was really impressed with the service and the knowledge of the staff. Oysters were awesome and there selection was impressive
Only place in town to get excellent gluten free deep fried seafood. Also, their selection of fresh local offerings is also really nice. The only knock against them was the last time we had fish n chips there, theyd obviously refried the chips. They were super greasy and chewy where theyve always been excellent (light, crisp, flavorful) in the past. Theyre still miles better than most tho!
Oak Bay Seafood serves the best Fish and Chips I have had in decades.
My new go to fish and chips place.
Great quality and variety of sea life!
Surprisingly cheap salmon and chips, and absolutely fantastic. The frozen soups are well worth the money too.
Looked slightly run down but after purchase all the products were delicious especially the candied salmon
Friendly fabulous selection
Sometimes good sometimes not ok. If you want good fish and chips and tacos try Finest at Sea in James Bay, Red Fish Blue Fish near Wharf or Fish on Fifth in Sidney. Oak.Bay Seafood used to be good. After it moved from downtown to Oak Bay, the quality has somewhat deteriorated and one or two people have huge egos. For example, live spot prawns are dead instead of live. They should not advertise them as live when they are dead. Finest at Sea is still the best place to get them. It is a much busier place for getting fish and chips, fresh fish and live spot prawns.
This hole in the wall takes the crown for best fish and chips in Victoria for me! (Best Ive had ever honestly) Generous and high quality fish portions.
Really great!! Kind service, Gluten-Free Fish & Chips! Lighter than the greasy alternatives, very fresh and cute little local shop to peruse funky gifts and sauces etc, not to mention fresh wild seafood! We ate outside at a quiet little table in the village. Will definitely go back! Way to go Oak Bay Seafood!
Always great!
*stands on the rooftop to shout* ALL THEIR MENU ITEMS ARE GLUTEN FREE ANNNND DELICIOUS! My partner is on a cleanse that makes him sugar, dairy and gluten free... coming across this treasure was a very happy and delicious accident. I am not gluten free and I would have never known. So so sooo good! The tarter sauce was delicious too. We also bought oysters and fish to bring home. Give this place all your business!
Simply helpful and kind service with soooooo fresh Salmon. Love it.
Just found this gem today. Everything is gluten free and was by far the best fish and chips me and the family has had; Not greasy or oily at all, so fresh and everything made in house. Can t believe I have lived in oakbay for so long not knowing about them. This will be a frequent stop for our family from now on. Keep up the good work oakbay seafood
Great crab cleaned up nice, awesome shrimp, amazing halibut cheeks. Thanks yall!
First visit, online ordering for take out, and it was great. Excellent quality with our popcorn shrimp, creamy seafood chowder, oyster burger and Kennebec fries. Very disappointed that the drinks I ordered were not included in my pickup. After the fact, when calling in, I was told that I should have gotten them myself. If that is the case, they ought to clearly tell their customers that, either when ordering or while picking up. I spoke with 2 employees while there and no one said anything. Happily they offered to help me fix this, took my info, and Ill go in to get them later. Super interested in trying their crab takeout next!
Are very slowly
Love the gluten free fish and chips
Absolutely top choice for quality fish and seafood take out meal in Victoria hands down. Oak Bay Seafood is reason alone to visit the Capital.
Wonderful customer service and super fresh and tasty steamed
Delicious food and great service we tried salmon burger and deep fried oysters burger!
Fresh seafood and friendly staff. The classic chowder and fish stew is the best
Great Fresh Local Seafood, including fresh clams and live crab....excellent service and very reasonable prices. Will no doubt be coming back.
I like this place. It s in a convenient location, has a patio and always good service. Also not too crazily priced since it s fresh seafood. I will say this however, I ve had food from here a few times now and it s never been amazing. Particularly the chowder, which I will tolerate since I love chowder, but it s certainly not as good as I d expected from a specialty seafood joint. The fish n chips is also just decent quality but not amazing. Certainly good in a pinch if you re looking to satisfy some seafood cravings - just don t expect to be blown away.
The best fish and chips Ive had in Victoria. With a side of popcorn shrimp, it made my day!
Excellent food. A tad pricy but very tasty.
We buy our Christmas Eve crab from them every year, very friendly ataff
I don t like fish and chips. However the girlfriend was hungry and at this point angry and this place seem to fit her requirements: it was open. We went in, she had the fish and chips I had a salmon burger. I was pleasantly surprised by my burger and also her fish. Unlike typical fish and chips it wasn t greasy and tasted very good. We added a side of popcorn shrimp just for fun and they were better than anything I ve had at fisherman s wharf. Not greasy at all. Super good. Service was great too. It also had nice place to sit indoors and out. What else do you need to diffuse a hangry girlfriend. I gave it 5 stars because she was super satisfied and wants to come here again. Ok.
Friendly counter service and atmosphere, chips good but fish a bit overdone
My friend and I ordered a salmon burger and an oyster burger for takeout today. The oyster burger was good. However, the salmon was hard and burnt in the other burger. And after having the salmon burger, my friend had diarrhea, suspecting the salmon was not fresh. She had the same burger before and it was very juicy and delicious. Todays burger was complete disappointment. Not sure if this is an accident, but absolutely disappointing experience. My friend said she would not go back again.
Halibut and Chips were really good. Nice light batter and crisp chips.
My wife and I had take out fish and chips this afternoon and they were fantastic. We dont live near the store but will go out of our way to order from here again.
tasty food! not too heavy too and good portion size. very helpful in resolving any issues with doordash as well :)
I have been coming here for years. I love that there are so many gluten free batters for so many types of seafood. Always friendly, usually fast, open during covid for pickup with plexiglass shield at til
Terrible fish and chips. We ordered from the Doordash app for delivery which was prompt. The meal we received however was awful. The both the Ling cod and the Halibut was overcooked, dry and tacky. The Halibut tasted like it had been marinated in lemon juice. The chips were old and stale. The red cabbage slaw has cilantro in it for some reason and was bitter and under seasoned. I expected a lot better from a fish market but it seems they only know how to sell fish and not cook it.
Food was decent, nice location. Fish was a little dry but other than that, great experience
Hands down the best fish and chips in vic and a Great spot for fresh seafood. Reasonable prices all around
Good selection of fresh fish, several frozen options. Fish and Chips smells great, will be coming back to try it later.
Great fish and chips!
Love this place!! Excellent Fish & Chips! The Westcoast Hand Peeled Shrimp Sandwich is Amazing! (My mum and I ordered it 2 nights in a row last week!) Fresh seafood counter with all your favorites, as well as frozen candied salmon, pate and Crab/Fish stock!
Best quality. Friendly and helpful staff. Best fish and chips in town by far!
Best GF fish and chips in town
Awesome place for seafood and related goods. Also have excellent fish and chips: I recommend the rockfish. Its yummy!
Great place for seafood and fish and chips gluten free and dairy free
Over priced
It was great. So far my best fish and chips experience in Victoria. While fried fish is too often soaking in oil, this was not the case at all here. The fries were also really good. Very nice people there, making arrangements easily and happy to help. It was also a lovely day with plenty of sun, but I guess they did not have anything to do with that.
The halibut is so delicious and fresh. Loved it!
Excellent service and fish
It was ok for a hole in the wall restaurant. The fish was fresh and crispy and good.
Good selection of seafood...good service.
The halibut and chips are superb.
Store is very clean. There was a small selection of seafood, both fresh and previously frozen. Prices are very comparable to those in the grocery stores. There is a large selection of frozen seafood and soups and a.selection of aioli and other food stuffs. There was a selection of hot smoked and cold smoked salmon. They have a water tank stocked with crab, oysters, clams and mussels. There is also a take out section for fish and chips as well as shellfish. Service is friendly and informative. I will be back for more.
Best fish and chips we have ever had and the Oysters were absolutely mouth watering. First time we have ordered from there and will definately be back and refer others.
Very clean and well operated (doesnt smell of fish when you walk in). Excellent fish and chips recipe that is light on the batter. Also a good selection of local dry goods and frozen foods. One of the best in town.
Underwhelming popcorn shrimp but fantastic fish and chips!
Quick delicious and good portions
Best places to get oysters and prawns. Fish filets are top notch quality. Fresh is the word!
Absolutely fantastic food! Had the lingcod and it was great as well as the chips! Thank you
Salmon was amazing.
Great fish n chips!
I discovered Oak Bay Seafood last week on a visit to Victoria. It appeared to be a family owned business. A gentleman worked the fish counter and a lady was doing the food in the back. Even though she was getting slammed by a massive order from the table besides us, our food came out quickly and very hot! The cook was a total pro the way she handled the huge order. The store was very clean and the fish in the cooler looked very fresh! We had the halibut fish and chips and fried oysters. All items were perfect fried! It wasn t greasy in the slightest and the protein was extremely juicy! Best fried fish and oysters I ve ever had! the fries were top notch as well!
Good food
Fried Oyster Sandwich...soo good. Just the right mix of batter (not too heavy) fixings and tartar sauce. The store has a few tables inside, but more outside in the sun.
Best fish and chips anywhere! Also salmon sausage that are very good. Plus everything in the store is gluten free.
Best cooked Halibut anywhere.
