We went for lunch and decided on halibut fish and yam fries and cod fish and chips. The batter on the fish was light and crispy not your traditional beer batter. I came with house slaw and tartar sauce. We really liked the slaw because it was tossed in a sweet vinaigrette instead of mayonnaise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing I would say is that they should watch their music playlist. We actually joked about it to the waitress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice atmosphere despite being in an out of the way place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were thrilled that the fish and chips were gluten-free and they were amazingly fresh and good with great tartar sauce!!! The hamburger not so much ...not much flavor nobody wanted to finish it ...gluten-free roll should've been buttered and toasted. Cocktails and gluten-free beer were excellent server did not know why everything was gluten-free would've liked to appreciate that. But, a fun meal ! read more

This was the best fish and chips I've had in North America! Delicious, perfectly crispy, not overly greasy. The slaw was really good (this is something that I usually leave behind) but I found it was really good here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is kind of cool with old world touches, maps, and old silent movies playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were pleasantly surprised for a spot in a strip mall![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But found it via yelp, so figured better add to the stars. read more

Off The Hook - Fish and chips after I'd eaten some of it - Gluten-Free Near Me - Nanaimo, British Columbia

It was ok, nothing special about the food . The service was good . I had the halibut I found it to be a bit dry .

Visiting from Vancouver and my parents were also visiting from out of province. Decided to come here on a whim being hungry from our trip over and was heading to Victoria. Ordered the blueberry kombucha, salmon seafood chowder, and fish and chips. The chowder was by far one of the best chowders I've ever had. I'm a huge seafood lover and do love me some chowders but this is the first time I've had anything like this. The soup is robust in flavour and filled with a lot of good chunks of salmon, clams, and veggies. Could not stop thinking about it and now wish we ordered another bowl to go! Highly recommend getting the chowder even if you have to share. The fish and chips were also really good -- we got the halibut and cod. read more

Everything we had was good, especially the fish and chips. Not only is it gluten free, but it's better than many of the other fish and chips we've tried in the island. The batter on the oysters was not our favourite but we appreciated that there were different batters for the different types of seafood. Very friendly service as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were surprised by how quiet it was for the weekend but also glad it was quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food was alright ranging from good to vaguely questionable but I'm not to picky to judge right now. The service was very slow though it could just be understaffed. The was only one waiter doing everything and one cook. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'll admit the overall vibe was nice and made the long wait for food slightly more manageable, especially with the old films they have playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The table next to me ordered food and only after half of them got the meal they asked for the waiter told the rest of the table that they ran out read more

The chowder was amazing. Fish and chips was excellent. Hayleigh added great service and a warm smile. read more

My wife and I thought that a restaurant that specializes in fish would have done better. The tempura batter as greasy and the halibut over cooked. Very poor wine selection as well. The service was very good and the only reason for two stars. read more

Qualicum Beach location- Extremely slow service - not sure why = seem to have sufficient staff. Fish and chips not as good as 2 months ago - more greasy - they make no apologies for slow service either - i.e. wait 20 minutes after seated and they offer water and 10 more minutes b4 you order- really. read more

We ordered 3 orders 2 piece cod and chips for pick up. Staff informed me the order would be ready in 15 minutes but would be re fried at arrival of pick up person to ensure the order arrived hot and crispy. They did not exagerate, The fish and the chips were both crispy and delicious, Fish just a little over cooked but still tasty. Will definately order again. read more

Be careful if you are a group. They sometimes add an automatic group gratuity, sometimes they don't. So if you are not careful you end up double tipping. Beware of this as they don't tell you. read more
