We ordered the two piece Pacific Cod fish and chips. It's easily the best fish&chips I've had to date. The portion was generous, and everything tasted freshly made. The batter was light, airy and perfectly crispy, while the cod was tender, flaky, fried to perfection. The chips are crispy too. Overall a very satisfying meal. A must try if you don't mind a little wait!

The fish and chips are incredible. Truly. And fair warning the halibut is HUGE. Two of us ordered a three piece and threw the third piece out we were stuffed. Taking away one star for the Clam chowder. The clams were fire but the chowder is the red kind not the white and that would be okay except it is full of cilantro (????) and seasoned like a Masala or Butter Indian sauce. That's a pretty big departure from ANY clam chowder I have ever tasted and definitely needs to be disclosed as it was pricey. We tossed the whole thing. We will for sure be back for the fish and chips!

I emailed Judy in advance with some special requests re: gluten free and vegetarian food and I received a prompt response via email saying that it was no problem for her to accommodate my requests.

I was very impressed and would highly recommend her for future events and catering gigs. Thank you so much, Judy & staff. :)

Also called Street Food Hustlin, we noticed this food cart in Victoria inside the Inner Harbour…read moreCauseway, overlooking the Marina, the last time we were in Victoria. It had moved a bit further north to a parking lot area, providing a bit more space. We had made a conscious effort to revisit it, so was happy that we found it and actually got some Canadian dollars so we could pay for it. They accept credit cards now, but we still used cash since we had it (and cheaper for the merchant). We had already eaten lunch on the cruise boat, but the long walk gave us an appetite. One can tell the Filipino influence because of the flag prominently displayed. There is a gas grill that is used to cook the dishes. It's a very tight menu, one side focused on hot dogs and hamburgers while the other on filipino street foods (bbq sticks). 2 sticks is $12 CAD, and we added some rice for $3. The choices for the protein on the bbq sticks was pork shoulder, pork intestine, pork ears, or chicken. We chose pork shoulder. The dishes are prepared fresh, so it took a bit of time, but it went by quick enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery. We found a ledge to sit on, and the sticks was easier to eat since it really is a finger food, while the rice required the provided fork. As for the food itself, the rice was plentiful and good, the pork was OK. We know pork shoulder is very fatty and full of connective tissue, but wish it had been cooked a lot longer to crisp everything up or make it more tender (or choose a different cut of meat like loin). As it was, the meat was pretty tough. The sauce was more of an american BBQ sauce using banana ketchup than a soy sauce based asian flavor, and had great flavor, especially once caramelized. I'm thinking the other meat choices might be better.
