Fresh Seafood Market with a Fish N Chip Shop
From a lil port of Prince Rupert... this place deserves a rave review! The chowder is like my nan's. The maple glazed candied salmon, is on point! Best place in interior for good fresh west coast seafood delicacies! Ty
I went here very quick and fish was very good The chips were too salty and the prawns were panko which i don’t like. The fish batter would be better. The crab cake was tasty also. So if you change that you will have a better Taste. You have a wonderful selection of seafood.
Dining at Buy.The Sea Restaurant was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The location is unbeatable, offering stunning views that create a serene and picturesque dining atmosphere. The decor is elegant yet cozy, making it perfect for any occasion. The menu is diverse and caters to all tastes, featuring fresh seafood that is expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The clam chowder and grilled lobster were particular highlights. Service was impeccable; the staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, enhancing our dining experience. The ambiance, combined with the delicious food and outstanding service, made our visit memorable. Buy.The Sea Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful meal by the ocean. We left thoroughly impressed and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!
Reasonably priced! High quality fish. We got an order of Cod and a piece of Haddock. The food came out fresh and hot! Would come again
Great fish and chips! Atmosphere was amazing and even though they were out of my classic choice for bubble tea the one they recommended might be a new favourite. Service was fast as well.
OMG - absolutely the best fish & chips I’ve ever had! Hubby & I stopped in on a whim - we will be back for sure! We both had the lunch special - it was delicious 😋 & such a large portion! Can’t wait to try some more of their delectable dishes! Thank you Bye the Sea - see you soon!
Always the BEST fish & chips in town. Fresh, not fishy or greasy and delicious!! Their fresh & frozen section is also well stocked and always superb. I discovered this spot when I was living in Rose Valley, and have since moved near the airport - but it is worth the drive! I cannot recommend Buy The Sea enough & love to bring friends & family here when they visit from out of town. UPDATE: I believe this location is under new ownership/changed hands. My experience with the new ownership is that they most definitely changed suppliers as the fish & chips is still quite good but not the best in town anymore. I’ve also found varying quality when it comes to products I’ve purchased do cook at home. Some tastes the same as before, excellent, and other times it was a total miss. This could be due to other factors and not new owners - but I’ve stopped driving across the bridge to come here specifically. I would still recommend trying them out if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t make a special trip. This is the reason I’ve changed my review from 5 to 4 stars.
We called ahead to make sure they had the chowder available for dining in. It was absolutely fantastic! Service wasn't great, we had to wait for condiments and other things they forgot. Nice selection of raw seafood. No comments on fish and chips as there was a 45 min wait so we didn't end up ordering.
Nice place
The fish is fresh. the Chinese food great. the fish n chips are so good AND very friendly service.
Use to love this place. The fish portions are much thinner now and smaller. Was disappointed after recommending it to so many people.
We had the cod and chips. It was mediocre at best. The fish tasted like frozen battered fish, the chips were fine and the coleslaw tasted like it was from packaged.
Awesome staff, had my fish ready for pickup. Thank you
Great spot for fish and chips Always visit when in West Kelowna Also nice fresh fish to buy if you want to cook your own!
Really great selection with friendly and helpful staff
Best fish and chips in town, great service.
Nice...
Best fish & chips around !
The staff was rude and unhelpful, making the whole experience unpleasant. Seafood didnt seem fresh and was overpriced. I definitely wont be returning.
EXCELLENT FOOD
I had the 2 pc cod and chips and was very good. Nice light batter and not greasy at all! Keep up the good work!
Excellent customer service portion was great lunch special only 12.99 not greasy nice meal
Friendly staff, great food, market, and restaurant all in one
The cod and chips were really good. I had the snapper and fish. Wow. Totally loved it. It s a great place and the prices are very very good. We will be back.
My insider tip: the salmon paté- so gooood! Adorable little shop. The only place in town where I can get home made fish stock for cooking. Best fish&chips (halibut) in years. IT DOES NOT SMELL LIKE FISH in there. That is the ultimate proof of freshness and cleanliness. Great shop.
Very good portions and fresh
We went there to grab tuna for sushi. The tuna steaks were priced around $7-9 per , which I thought was fair. I can wait to go back and try some of there fish ! Service was great and answered all my questions.
Good Salmon sashimi
The salmon burger, fish and chips, and chowder were all so good! I was visiting Kelowna and came here two nights in a row.
Best fish and chips in town
Always enjoy going there to get the fish. Awesome customer service.
Ordered 2 piece haddock and fries take out. Amazing!!! Highly recommended!!
Trying to have some self control from going everyday
Friendly servive and excellent food.
Great fish and chips!
Fresh seafood. Love this place
I have been seeking great fish and chips since moving to west Kelowna over a year ago. Why did I take so long to try this place! Absolutely the best fish and chips in the Kelowna area and perfect portion sizes. Will be back for sure.
The best fish and chips in town, always fresh,delicious and staff is super friendly .
Like anywhere else theyre prices reflect Covid rebound and charging more $$$. Foods good, nothing special.
Finest fresh seafood with a good selection of fish and shellfish. Also frozen products available. You can also dine in! The staff is knowledgeable and always wonderful.
We stopped for fish and chips and it was good. My piece was a little under which made the fish feel soggy but my friends from which I picked a bite were perfectly cooked. Nice shop selling fresh fish
Amazing place, clean and organized, wonderful friendly staff. Had the best salmon burger Ive ever had, would definitely recommend to anyone who like seafood. Very good selection of spices and sauces.
Buy the Sea - no - drive by the sea, Restaurant changed hands recently , complete disaster at the counter , experienced by us and the individual in front of us. We have been going to BTS for yrs and after our last experience we have stopped. First they got the order completely wrong, misunderstanding, after we received the backward order we did get the halibut we ordered - it was not cooked and very poor quality. The chips were soggy and very few. I did call BTS and have left messages on the chat ,.. no response . AVOID AVOID AVOID
Stopped in for fish n chips but opted for two haddock no fries, fish was very greasy and not to great on flavour, will not be going back.
Oysters are AMAZING!
Beautiful choices of fresh seafood. We got a huge salmon filet and large prawns. Excellent.
Bought a bowl of chowder to go. Got to work, no spoon. Called back. Lady tells me they dont provide spoons. I suspect new owners because Ive been there dozens of times and recieved a spoon. Not only cheap, but liars. Also what kind of business doesnt provide spoons with a take out bowl of soup? Unfortunate because the chowder is really good.
Absolutely AMAZING place, hands down, thumbs up way UP! Highly recommended. If your here at west kelowna, it is a must to visit this place. Fresh sea food. Great clam chowder, great staff happy and friendly. Tried one of the best in San Luis Obispo California this one hits the spot!
Excellent food. Great quality for value. Delicious fish and chips. The best since England!
Excellent fish and chips. Friendly service
Great food! Fresh fish and seafood! My 2 and 10 year old ate my cod fish and chips! Lol
Always fantastic. Fresh and yummy
Great place with a variety of fresh and tasty seafood, my favourites are king salmon, fried cod and chips meal. Highly recommend!
Amazing food and amazing people that work here supporting our community.
Thank you for taking care of us fire fighters during the 2023 wild fires !
The service was awesome, they appeared genuinely happy and excited to serve us. Awesome fish & chips. Fries were fresh & hot, batter on fish was light & crispy. Highly recommend! Thank you for staying open to serve the community during the wildfires!
Very friendly , great service . Food is amazing .
Great food great portions Great staff. Thanks guys
The food here is excellent especially the chowder this is my first time ordering from here, but I plan on making this my go-to place for fish and chips and the chowder!
The absolute best Fish and Chips I have Ever Had!
The fish wasnt even cooked properly the batter was very soggy. I had to put in oven grose. Next attempt pathetic got the smallest pieces of fish. I do not recommend this place at all. Over priced rip off restaurant
Im giving an excellent review because they food is better than excellent. Theyre in a great location. They know their market products.. reliable source fresh.
Excellent Fish and Chips, freshly cooked to perfection, and on the table in a few minutes. Friendly, helpful staff. I will definitely be coming back for more.
Amazing! Both good and service.
I have very split opinion on this place. They have very good fish... tasty, fresh, nice selection and reasonable prices, but on other hand I never been more disappointed with fish&chips. Whole meal was soggy, dripping oil and blend, very small portin of chips and really felt overpriced. So I recommend this place if you like purchase fresh fish but we are not coming back for meal.
Best fish and chips EVER!
Went to this establishment yesterday . The staff were able to answer all my questions. My sister has food sensitivities it was a treat to be able to get the information we needed . The food we ordered was fabulous and the prices weee shockingly reasonable . This is now my favourite place to eat and buy seafood :) good job guys !
Hidden gem alert!!! Just had the best fish and chips/shrimp tacos with my family. The fish was so fresh . Heaven! Staff were super friendly and patient with us ordering as we couldn t decide what to get! Highly recommend.
Darrell and his crew are fantastic, great service, outstanding food, well done. Thanks again for your fabulous service and food.
I actually was pretty disappointed, now I did order delivery, but I did feel was pretty soggy fish and chips. I also felt disappointed with the seafood chowder, I guess I expected fresh seafood to be in it, not canned. That being said the cost of the soup didnt match the quality. Ill try again but definitely not for delivery.
Fair price for what you get. Crab cakes were my favorite!
Went there for lunch today and was completely satisfied with the fish and chips meal. Havent had cod that good and fresh in many years. Will definitely be going back
A hidden gem nestled among a strip mall. The fish here is so fresh and delicious. Their lunch specials are fresh, cheap, and FULL of flavour.
Excellent fish & chips, eat in or take-out. Great selection of fresh seafood, spices, rubs & dressings.
Surprising find, apparently been here awhile (I havent got out much). They have great fish and chips and have a whole lot more...their staff very helpful too. Highly recommend.
Unreal customer service and the fish and chips were the best I ve had in town! Highly recommend this spot
This place has the absolute best fish and chips. I was here yesterday for lunch with my family and it was hands down the best lunch I have had in forever! I wish I still lived in Kelowna so I could come here more often
Quick friendly service for a take out order and very delicious.
Halibut burger and cod fish tacos are winners!
Never a bad meal. Been here lots of times and always hot, crispy, and tasty.
Fresh fish ! Great Salmon and pickerel!
Love this place . Lunch for 2 works the best for me...
Great customer service, fresh products
I ordered through Ninja Now and surprisingly when the food got here the fish was still piping hot and super crispy. Not soggy at all. Absolutely delicious. The thing that upset me a little was the fries. I don t know if they cut down their fry portions or what, but what I just ordered came with like 1 handful of fries under the fish. For $15 for a 1 piece cod and fries, you d think that there would be more fries. Especially since you can order a 2 piece cod and fries for $3 more, and fries are definitely cheaper than fish.
The best fish place in West Kelowna! The fish was incredible fresh and tasty and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this fish shop to anyone looking for high-quality fresh seafood.
8 8
Friendly people greeted us and the food was so good
Krusshi oyster yummy!
Best and freshest fish in town
Really good food but the issue I have with this place is the extraordinary amount of packaging and waste that goes along with the great food. I dont think Ill ever get take out from here again because of that.
Friendly staff, and they usually have things you can t find at the supermarket.
Great fresh seafood . Great service. Great fish and chips. Great shrimp and chips. Best in the okanogan. People should know by now to wear a mask. Its not a new thing. We must obey the law we wouldnt want health authorities to shut anyone down. If you cant follow the law then dont g.
The 5 PC cod dinner is a great deal! Very tasty and good portions.
My first visit here, and awesome little place for seafood! Had the seafood chowder which was amazing. The guy behind the counter is sooo friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely go back!!
They have some nice quality specialty items like fresh halibut from Haida Gwaii and frozen crab legs and lobster. Service is slow and not consistently friendly. The frozen crab cakes are yummy, great to have on hand.
Fish not cooked enough.
After nearly a year and since we were at the medical clinic a block away, we decided to pickup some fish and chips with the works. But to our disappointment, after confirming that we needed two one piece halibut meals, being asked to pay for the meals before it was packed, handed over and after being made to wait for over 30 minutes, we reach home to find that the fish was cold (seemed like it was fried and it just lay around before being packed) and to add to it, there was no tartare sauce and lemon. I immediately called the store, only to be told that - oh just come and pick it up. No apology - they got their money so what do we care. Like in all that heat we should be ready to drive back to pick up part oF the order that they forgot to pack.
I m a fan of fish I don t care about the price of fresh food got the halibut 2 for 50$ it was large and tasty I will be back such good food all we need is indoor dining!
Super service! Super staff! Such fresh fish! The best of it all. Better than Granville Island! I have now been there three times!! It doesn t get old at that particular location! I love the atmosphere and the service is absolutely fantastic!!
Always so fresh. Great prices
Fresh fish. Great service. Would recommend to anyone who is traveling to or through Kelowna. Just to special add For Halal food lover its food is Halal. ( No alcohol add in bater)
Always the best. Great staff.
Excellent cod I cooked it up at home but I am really looking forward to trying the restaurant it smelled great in there and the food being served made me hungry!
Sure, its expensive, but you get away you pay for. You wait slightly longer than fast food, but much shorter than a restaurant. Im not even a fan of fish and Ill keep coming back. A++
Nice selection of fish and very friendly staff
Good service,clean,friendly atmosphere
Fish is fantastic, staff are friendly, prices are fair to market. My favorite fish and chips shop!
Excellent Canadian Lobster Tail.
We ordered 2 piece cod with fries We got 19 fries and 2 half pieces of fish. When i phoned about it i eas told that is the normal size And the manager would call me. That never happend.
Halibut fish&chips is super tasty. I tried deep fried oysters for the first time and they tasted great with tartar sauce
I normally love this place always get great service but today was the worst I have had if this was my first meal there I wouldnt have come back. I ordered a cod burger with fries and extra sauce I dont know if they have new batter but its horrible and just crumbled The cod tasted even worse just tasted like water. Normally its delicious . I asked the man for extra sauce when he handed me my order I asked him again there are 2 sauces right he said yes . Just to get to my work and find out there is only one and no piece of lemon either. I dont know what happened but it used to be soo good! Disappointed for sure! You all can do so much better!
Bring your life savings if you are serious about getting anything at this place.
Really enjoyed fish and chips for lunch. Nice helpful staff
Really great place to get my seafood, delicious, fresh and clean! Also, big fan of their fish and chips! My favorite seafood grocery and lunch place in West Kelowna :)
Best seafood in town. A regular stop for our household fresh fish.
Excellent food and service, highly recommend
Best seafood in the okanagan
Best fish and chips Ive ever had in OK Valley Ill be back for sure
Food was fabulous Price on the other hand not so great
There salmon burger is amazing its the best burger Ive ever had and there coleslaw is amazing its got really good prices for the food too also there fries are the best its a must eat place
Tried it for the first time today (West Kelowna location) and it was delicious!! We tried the fish and chips, Prawns and Oysters. Best oysters I ve had since my last trip to Connecticut. The portion of fish and chips is very generous !! Price is cheaper than any other fish and chips place around. The fish was very fresh. I grew up on the East Coast where many of my relatives were fishermen so I believe I know my fish. Kudos, I will be back again to try some other items on your menu.
Best fish and chips
Great Halibut
Good lunch and good value. Staff was immediately helpful and accommodating for our family to sit outside. Great fish, fries and and coleslaw!
Great staff. Amazing food.
Great selection and friendly staff.
Love the seafood selection. I got sushi grade Spring Salmon with a 15% discount yesterday. We love it!
Great food and service.
Love, love, love the fish and chips here!
Amazing fresh quality! Best fish & chips in West Kelowna, always superb.
Had what I wanted, will order anything you need they dont carry. Nice staff.
Always fast friendly and amazing seafood!!
Amazing Place with a Great Environment. Delicious and well maintained product with more than ideal sanitary conditions.
Great quality, friendly staff. Try the neptune salmon!
Great advice when buying salmon. Absolutely delicious
The quality of food and the service did not match price. I went to Joeys only a few days earlier and the taste/quality of the food and service was better at a fraction of the cost. Would not recommend this resturant unless you have money to burn.
Good tasting seafood and chips. Dine in and take out.
Was just passing thru town. Got salmon nuggets and salmon jerky for trip. Very well done. Really good prices and excellent quality of food. Have had there fish tacos and fish and chips there too before. Really really good!
Best fish and chips I ever had staff super nice and friendly!
Highly Recommended! I purchased the two piece fish and chips and this is the best I have tried in West Kelowna. There is also fresh fish available to purchase as this is primarily a seafood store. The ice was well stocked at 6 pm so quality looks good. The only thing I would change is the fries, they are good but have had better.
By far the best fish & chips you can get in Kelowna!
Great cod, delicious fries, so much ketchup. Tartar sauce amazing. Prawns buttery goodness.
Awesome fish and chips !!
Finally, Kelowna has a fish store worth buying from. A few weeks ago I made some inquiries online about this store s products. Yesterday the owner of Buy the Sea called to tell me that he just got fresh swordfish in, so I bought some today. The first thing that impressed me was the complete lack of that fishy smell that is characteristic of fresh fish bought at other places in town. This fish was indeed FRESH, just as advertised. I marinated it for an hour in an orange ginger tamari soya sauce that I made from scratch before grilling it on the bbq. Fantastic! With every bite I felt like I was transported to Hawaii. Thank you Buy the Sea! You ve made a loyal customer out of me.
Great service, good price and the meal comes with a nice salad that was fresher and more delicious than expected from a fish and chip shop...the other fish and chip stores could learn a lot from this establishment!!
Pickerel!!!!!!
Best place for seafood in the valley.
Best fish and chips in town.
Great little seafood shop. I always have great customer service coming here. I was there yesterday and tried their fish tacos with french fries with my daughter. They were delicious. I was a little disappointed that there was no tip option on their pin pad when i went to pay and i had no cash on hand to tip these hard working people. Maybe a option in the near future? I will definitely be back.
Lost our order, and food was soggy but tasted good.
The best Manhattan clam chowder!!!!
After a long day at work its so nice to stop here and take home a generous portion of fish and chips made fresh, wrapped right to take home, and delicious. The food is great, highly recommend. Darrel at the counter is a pleasure to deal with even though I get there about 10 minutes before closing. I will make this a regular stop. Christina
Great atmosphere...Darrell was very welcoming! The Salmon and coleslaw I had was excellent!! I will be back for sure. Thank you
Went in to buy some seafood, but the restaurant smells were fantastic. Will definitely eat here soon. The service was excellent. The fish was firm and had the right smell, I look forward to eating it.
Great fish and chips had by all
Very good food
Went for lunch yesterday and it was excellent. Good service, polite staff and very good portions. Very happy. Was a little crowded at lunch time but good places usually are.
Good food. Love the oyster burger with wheat buns :)
Very good fish and chips and a great selection of fresh seafood
Great place for fish & chips.
Fish was really nicely presented fresh cooked up beautifully mmmm
No better than this.
All I can say, its good for an oil change. Really greasy, oily batter and chips. Would not recommend it, sorry.
Absolutely perfect fish and chips.. exactly what I would expect. Good service, inexpensive and large portions. Highly recommended!
Very good. Not greasy and good sized portions. Highly recommend.
Yummy! Just yummy. Polite & helpful staff. How did I not know about this place before!
Such a high level of expertise and help. The product quality is top notch too, not the cheapest dinner you will find but you get what you pay for and its worth it!
Fresh and tasty fish. Plenty of choice. Stuff is great, all guestions found the right answer, they make me very welcome to come back.
Amazing service Extremely fresh The manager has ocd about cleanliness, to walk into a seafood place with no fish smell is unbelievable. Come check this place out. THE ABSOLUTE BEST FISH & CHIPS PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN, and I m from white rock, and my mom is from cape Bretton
Decent food. Slightly high prices
Real good
I got crabs from a nice lady at this store
This is an odd little place. A fish store with a take-out kitchen, but they also have a few small tables to eat in store. Price was reasonable for a good serving of fish and chips.
This has been my go-to place for fish since moving to West Kelowna. The selection is great, the fish is always fresh, and the owners make a point of buying from sustainable sources. Also, their smoked salmon nuggets are the best ANYWHERE! I highly recommend Buy the Sea.
Awesome fish tacos and fish and chips. Good portion size, too.
Good prices, good seafood, nice staff... but always closed when it matters.
Sorry folks. Weve been here 3 times. Youve been going down hill. Yesterday we had the lunch special, lots of crispy batter but very little fish. Quite greasy. Sorry. Will have to find somewhere else for lunch.
Great fish & chips...yum
This is the best fish and chips place in town. The seafood is so fresh you can practically hear the ocean when you walk in the door.
Good quality fish....good fish and chips
Great fresh seafood and a delicious cod and chips lunch. Only down side is the very loud cooler making it hard to have a conversation. Wonderful friendly staff
You can tell that the fish is fresh because when you walk in you don t get that fish smell like in most fish stores. The owners are very helpful and the Fish and chips are the best I have had Going back again and again
Always fresh and delicious!
We were told about this wonderful seafood shop by friends. They sell fresh seafood and will cook you up an order of very tasty fish and chips. My boyfriend and I shared a two piece and really enjoyed it. We would recommend it to others and if we lived closer, would definitely buy our fish there.
