This place is very popular, so be prepared to queue for 15-20 minutes. The fish is very fresh, however, and the chips are tasty too. It's a converted container on the water's edge with stools provided for the considerable crowd to sit and eat while perched at the wooden rails. Sitting watching the sun set at the inner harbour on... More

A little fish shack on the harborfront . Food is delicious and scenery can't be beat. Lots of fun to watch the float planes land and take off. Easy to find and right in the middle of the harbor area.

This is an outdoor fish and chip place by the harbour. There is almost always a long line but it is worth the wait. Great selection of fish, cooked a variety of ways. Generous portions and the batter is light so doesn't overwhelm the fish; the grilled otpion is good too.

As you walk around the wharf area in Victoria, there is the Red Fish Blue Fish tucked down on a small wooden pier near the harbor patrol office. They have a small sign off of Wharf street so you don't pass it. The place is small and made from a few cargo containers converted into a full kitchen. You know... More

Hard to miss as it sits on the water's edge just below the red building of the harbor, this old fishing container turns out great fish dishes. The line is long, the people friendly, portions big, worth the wait in line.

Grilled Salmon and Grilled Halibut tacones were our favorite but if getting halibut get sauce for salmon unless you like spicy because they are spicy but really good! 1 is a snack 2 is a meal. Great portions usually 2 for 10.00 or less or little more depending what you order. We saw people had battered fish, salads, etc. and... More

Absolutely, without a doubt, by far the best fish and chips I've ever experienced. You may have to wait in line to place your order, that's how good their reputation is, so its best to give yourself enough time. This should be an indication of how great the food is. You're dining on a wharf right on the inner harbor... More
