Barbs Fish and Chips. Best of Victoria. Not.

Best best best!

Barbs Fish and Chips.

Look at all of these awards. Best this, best that, best everything its just best best best. Unfortunately, yours truly was not impressed.

I had the Halibat and Chips, truly average. It's Halibut season and yet I suspected my Halibat was previously frozen. To be fair I didn't ask but the texture of the fish was dry and shreddie, if you know what I mean, not fresh and moist and fresh fresh fresh.

The fries were great so is the location on the docks, its food with a rustic view, but I couldn't help feeling a bit let down by the fish.

If you are looking for fish and chips in Victoria go to Barbs and then walk a couple of km down the harbour to Blue Fish Red Fish and enjoy  some truly extraordinary Fish and chips.

Red Fish Blue Fish. A Cod Dog and a View

Cod Fish Dog. Say no more. But there is more from this little shack on the harbour in Victoria. Look for the Sea Plane terminal and you are almost there. BTW its: Tempura cod + Irene's Bakery Hot Dog Roll + dill'd dijonaisse + tartar & pickled onions = heaven

I also had:

BBQ Fanny Bay Oyster Tacones. Golden shallot aioli + pea shoots + lemon pickled onions.

The Oysters were fresh, briny, pure ocean flavour.

Spicy Pacific Fish Poutine. Cuminy smooth silky.

I'm a big fan of the food shack or food cart concept. For the most part they seem to understand the importance of good quality ingredients prepared simply and honestly. At Red Fish Blue Fish the food is outstanding and 100 % Ocean wise, sustainable.

Grab your food, sit on the dock, take in the fresh salty sea air and enjoy.
Highly recommended
