Victoria's Can't-Miss Fish & Chips Spot šØš¦ - Red Fish Blue Fish āļø
The last time I visited Victoria, I made the tragic mistake of skipping this iconic waterfront spot... what was I thinking?! š This time around, during our road trip back from Nanaimo to Vancouver, we planned an entire detour just to visit the famous š Red Fish Blue Fish š - and holy mackerel, it exceeded all expectations! Sure, the line stretched longer than the BC coastline, but every delicious minute of waiting was absolutely justified. We opted for their signature BC Halibut Fish & Chips š - imagine the crispiest, most golden-brown batter hugging thick, juicy cuts of fresh halibut that practically melted in your mouth. Pure seafood heaven! š The fish was so fresh you could almost taste the ocean, with that perfect flaky texture that makes foodies weak in the knees. And let's talk about those fries - hand-cut, double-fried to perfection, with just the right amount of salt. The kind of fries you keep eating long after you're full! Their tartar sauce deserves its own award - creamy with just the right tang, while the house-made ketchup added a sweet twist to every bite. We also couldn't resist trying their famous fish tacos (because when in Rome...), which came piled high with crunchy slaw and the most mouthwatering chipotle mayo. A few insider tips: 1ļøā£ Weekends are basically a seafood pilgrimage here - arrive before 11am or after 2pm to avoid the worst crowds 2ļøā£ They have amazing seasonal specials - ask about their daily catches 3ļøā£ Don't miss their homemade ginger beer - the perfect fizzy companion to cut through the richness The whole experience - eating fresh-off-the-boat seafood at their colorful harbor-side stand, with seagulls circling overhead and boats bobbing in the background - is quintessential West Coast perfection. It's not just a meal, it's a memory you'll crave forever. š Red Fish Blue Fish š Victoria's Inner Harbour (look for the bright blue shipping container!) #Canada #CanadianFood #VancouverIsland #WestCoastEats #SeafoodLover #FoodieDestination #VictoriaBC #MustTrySpot ššāØšššš„
