    Lobster poutine
    Bonnie R.

    This place was such a gem! Great atmosphere and the food was amazing! Some of the best seafood we had on our girls trip to Nova Scotia.

    Lobster & shrimp Mac and cheese. Tasty

    Great little spot in Mahone Bay!! Wow! We had the lobster Mac n cheese, fish tacos and bacon wrapped scallops. I would recommend them all. For the scallops I asked to substitute the fries with their clam chowder. Their chowder is also VERY good. The only critique I have is the bacon on the scallops wasn't cooked enough for me. The scallops were huge though and I'd order it again. They are closing down for the winter Oct 29.

    Nice seafood restaurant in Mahone Bay. High quality. We had the fish and chips and mussels.

    Oh my Cod . Excellent

    Small but quick. Great service despite a small wait. In fairness it was a wet day and outdoor tables were unable to be fully utilized. That said the sisters and I had a fine feed of fish. They had the haddock and I the cod. After all it's not Oh my Haddock!! The fries were insanely good and the fish tasted as good as it looked . Definitely a must stop for lunch spot when near Mahone Bay

    Fish tacos (cod) with the chipotle sauce on the side $15.25.

    My husband and I stopped here for a very late lunch on our way to Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Overall, the food was really good. We got into Mahone Bay a bit later than planned due to construction on the 103, and we were scheduled to have dinner at my husband's uncle and aunt's place in Liverpool a few hours later, so we shared the Fish Tacos ($15.25) and a bowl of the soup of the day ($9) which was a pureed carrot, pear and beet soup. There were 2 fish tacos per order, so we had one each. We opted for the cod, but the other option was haddock. I asked for the chipotle sauce on the side. The tacos also came with fries. The taco shell was a soft flour tortilla and the filling was some red cabbage slaw and fresh arugula along with a large piece of battered and deep-fried cod. The fish was delicious, really crispy on the outside, and soft and flakey on the inside. I liked the crunch of the slaw and the peppery zing of the arugula. I added the tiniest bit of chipotle sauce and it was perfect. The fries were excellent. They were skin on and really crispy. Maybe a bit too salty, but otherwise great. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the soup at all, so my husband ended up having practically all of it. I didn't like the grittiness, which was probably due to the pears. I also felt that the flavours didn't go well together. However, my husband loved it, so it depends on your tastes. Service was quick and efficient. We were surprised at how busy the restaurant was at 3pm on a weekday. I think everyone was a tourist like us though ;) They sell ice cream too, but we didn't have any. They only have 1 single unisex and accessible bathroom, so there was always a line up. I'm glad I wasn't sitting at the table right by the bathroom! They have their own parking lot to the right and behind the restaurant but it was packed, not paved, and down a steep slope, so we ended up parking on the street (I think it was free, we didn't pay and didn't get ticketed, lol). FYI: The parking lot to the left which is paved, with painted lines, and looks very nice belongs to BMO, and is reserved for their customers only. I love puns, so I was first drawn to this restaurant because of the name, but I ended up really enjoying the fish tacos. The soup was not to my liking, but I'd say that's due to personal preferences, because the hubby loved it. Mahone Bay is super touristy, so it was much busier than I expected for a small town. We were lucky to find street parking across the street, but I can see how parking can be tricky during high tourist season. We were there mid-July. Also, there were a lot of people just milling about, talking and/or eating ice cream on the streets, completely oblivious to cars trying to get by. This is obviously not the restaurant's fault, so this fact does not affect the rating, but I'm just writing it here, so you are aware of the possible terrain you will have to traverse to get to the restaurant, lol.

    We were headed to Halifax and decided to stop for lunch. Read about this place on Yelp. I mean how do you not stop at a place called "Oh My Cod!"? Glad we stopped. Best Fish n Chips I've ever had. In fact we've been in Nova Scotia for 5 weeks and this is the best meal I've had here. Staff was also very good. Friendly, efficient, and professional.

    Fish Burger and Fries
    Raymond M.

    We popped in here for lunch as a change from our normal Mahone Bay spot. It's a bright inviting space and the service is super friendly and welcoming. It's cafe-like in its size and decor, and it doesn't really try to be a full service restaurant with one menu that extends through lunch and dinner, hours from 11am to 8pm. However, the menu is pretty broad if you like seafood, not so good for carnivores, but why would they go to a place named after a fish anyway? They have one vegetarian option and a couple of things that could be adapted or made gluten friendly, maybe. My cod burger was really good and the fries were excellent. Generally prices are a bit on the high side for the region but still within reason. There is a kids menu with alternatives to fish if you have some picky eaters. Looks like we now have two eating stops when in Mahone Bay!

    Chowder!
    Maya M.

    DELICIOUS seafood! Fresh seafood that is prepared to perfection! Chowder is a full meal loaded with buttery lobster, scallops, loads of fish and mussels. The best fish n chips you can ever have- Fish is fabulous with a crispy thin batter- The warm and friendly service only adds to the outstanding dining experience of this local GEM!!! Big thanks to Paul and the amaaaaazing staff at OH MY COD! The wait to get in is very justifiable and worth it on ever level!!! Yes deserts- ice cream flavors and cakes are in a class of their own.

    Clams and chips

    We ate here during our bike trip today The place was packed and it seemed to take longer to usual to get served I had the burger and fries which was great The burger was perfect and the fries were some of the best I've ever eaten. The clams and fries were delicious. ! Best clams I have eaten in a long time ! Thank you !

    Visiting Mahone Bay and the consensus was we had to eat here. I wish they would have the option of a half portion, or appetizer size lobster/shrimp Mac and cheese...we ordered it to share as an app and it was massive. It was excellent, but what would have taken it to next level is to toast the panko and broil it a touch in the oven to melt the additional cheese on top. The fish and chips, and fish tacos were fine...(I expected amazing). The fish and chips was under seasoned (according to hubby) and all the coleslaw and dressing was on the bottom of the taco, so if you didn't take a full bite, you got just dry wrap and fish. Easily rectified by spreading the dressing/coleslaw on the entire wrap instead of dumping into the bottom. Kid's Mac and cheese a big hit with our 10yr old.

    The Naked Oyster is only about a year old, located in a great space along Mahone Bay's main drag,…read morewith a open and inviting atmosphere and a great patio overlooking the bay. Service was excellent, professional and quick. Maybe too quick, our appetizers arrived before our drinks. The menu is innovative but still traditional. Fish and Chips, mussels, oysters, chowder along with burgers and sandwiches, including a lobster roll on a locally made croissant. But also Pad Thai and a Bulgogi Rice Bowl. All of our dishes were wonderful. But what most impressed me is the extensive gluten free menu, complete with a fryer and gf batter for the fish & chips and fish tacos.

    Mahone Bay is a short and scenic drive from Lunenburg (15-20 minutes). We intended to visit…read moreRebecca's, but it was closed. Fortunately, the owner of our Inn told us that The Naked Oyster recently opened and is a sister restaurant to Rebecca's. What a beautiful experience it was! It was very busy but there are several places to sit comfortably outside. The Adirondack chairs were very nice, with a view of Mahone Harbor. After a bit of a wait, we were seated. The service was excellent. I can't imagine I'll ever experience a more delicious chowder than their Captain's Chowder, a creamy clam broth with generous portions of scallops, mussels and haddock. We also had a half dozen local oysters that were perfect. High marks for the Caesar Salad too. I would put this on the "can't miss" list for the area.
