My place

Seriously..... for the quality of fish bought/served..... Barbs.... Maybe the one bananas was referring to

Yep, Barb's Fish "n" Chips at Fisherman's Wharf get's my nod. I haven't heard of The Local that Bananas mentioned. Must be fairly new? There's a good little place in Estevan Village (Oak Bay) too. I forget the name.

Quality food and you always try something new...
I hate that the menu frequently changes and is small.
Since you brought Sooke up... Mulligans... Qualty F&C all the time... but it just went up to 18 bucks or something. Wicked menu/food other than that.

Oh an FFG phone call incoming.... do tell

The place in Estevan is called The Galley, and it's decent with a good classic feel. The best in Victoria is, by far, Red Fish Blue Fish. This is coming from a person who will die of a fish and chip overdose one day. A guy who's wife has asked, with tears in her eyes, that I don't get fish and chips again for dinner. I am a serious fan. Another really good option is the Penny Farthing in Fairfield -but it's a pub. They do have two for one fish and chips once a week though, so you can have double!

As for Barbs, I have watched it decline over the years. As a commercial fisherman I was based out of that warf, and I must say, Barb's isn't great. For example, they use frozen fries rather than making their own. As a matter of fact, my missus worked there for a long stretch, so I know from the inside that the quality is variable.

Go to Red Fish Blue Fish, it is really good. And always local caught fish. Their slaw is a little weird, but everything else is fantastic!

Rock Cod Cafe in Cowichan Bay. I know it's not in the area you're looking for, but worth the drive up island.
