We walked in 30 min to closing and asked the girl at the counter about getting some crabs steamed for us. She said it takes 40min if we are ok with waiting. we haven't experienced service like this yet here in BC. She was so sweet and gave us a call when our crabs were done so we went and had drinks at the nearby bar while we waited. Not only did she stay late for us but she was gracious about doing so. Anyway, we took the crabs back to our hotel room and had a little crab fest on our balcony! It was amazing! The crab was incredibly fresh, sweet and perfectly steamed and assembled for us. 10/10 would recommend!

The staff working was very knowledgeable about fish and easygoing. He answered all the questions we had and had recommendations for what to get. We ended up getting a frozen salmon fillet and some candied salmon. The candied salmon is quite cheap compared to other places. We got 4 pieces for ~$2.50. The salmon was so vibrantly coloured and tasted so fresh. It didn't have fishiness at all. Although the candied salmon had sweetness, that was very mild and you mostly just taste the salmon. It was so good my partner wanted to come back just for more!

While the price tag looks expensive, it the burger came with three nuggets of fish, which was more than fit on the bun - I took one off and ate the burger with just 2 pieces, and fish was still spilling out. Besides the fish, there was also a heaping of slaw and arugula on the burger. It was delicious - the fish was tender and flaky and the slaw was really good. The bun didn't fall apart even with a ton of stuff on it. The fries were standard shoestring fries and they were kind of greasy. I got a side of habanero hot sauce to dip them in and that was pretty good. It had a decent kick but not extreme heat. Dips are kind of pricy at $1.5-2 for a small cup, but ketchup is free at the tables. How it works is you order and pay at the entrance, take a buzzer and seat yourself, and get your food at the counter when the buzzer goes off. The older lady taking orders was very cheerful.

While we didn't get a dining room table, the bar seating turned out to be a great experience. The bartender was friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed trying a few beer tastings and ordered some local Tofino beers. It was a fun way to discover some local beers. The highlight was the SHELTER Beef Burger and fries. The burger had the perfect flavour, and the fries were a great match. It was a satisfying meal after exploring Tofino. Tofino is a popular tourist destination, reservations are highly recommended if you want a specific dinner time and a comfortable dining room seat. Walk-ins are still accepted, but you may need to wait for a table or dine later in the evening, sometimes after 8pm. Overall, Shelter is a highly recommended stop in Tofino.

A group of us place an order every other month or so and have them shipped to our local airport. They are usually 2 days out of the water, pack in ice and crated.
