Salty's Fish and Chips

We passed by Ducan in our trip and stay here for lunch. We had the lunch specials of cod and fried shrimps which are awesomely prepared. The cod are juicy and fresh to a right degree . With the Piper's Pale Ale, the combination was just wonderful. And good priced as well. Recommend ;)

Great good. Best music you could ask for. Friendly staff. We’re so glad we stopped in for a bite. You should too.

Oh wow Salty’s was great, I’ll be back. We had the 10 piece group meal and it was perfect (there were 8 people) Not too oily, not too much batter and the tater sauce is perfect. (wish we got more!)

Always delicious food! Friendly staff and lovely decor for a fish and chips place. If any drawback its the size and sometimes lack of tables. But that's minor compared to the food. And always have some little deal going on so it feels like an affordable place.

Fish is great, crispy and the pieces are perfect sized. One of our favourite places to get battered fish. But the fries. They are the worst around. They look old and look to be refried, but not refried in a crispy way. They are definitely not fresh how ever they are done.

We had cod, halibut and chips and coleslaw. Sadly all of it was very bland and oily. I mean there was no seasoning at all not even salt. The only possible way to enjoy it was smothering everything in ketchup, even then you could feel the overwhelming taste of oil. Fish itself was ok but again, no seasoning at all. On the bright side service was very nice, the girl at the counter was very pleasant.Overall I would say not worth it for the money you spend, this kind of quality would be acceptable at half of the price.

Got the halibut and chips. Price was actually really good. Batter on the fish was excellent only lacking some seasoning but otherwise was excellent. Fries were fries. Poutine was good. Place was full so that's a good sign. Got take out and it was ready on time and hot. I'd definitely go back to check out the rest of the menu.

While passing through town we were on the hunt for a lunch of fish and chips. We spotted Salty's while on the highway going through Duncan and decided to stop for lunch. My partner and I ordered the jumbo tiger prawns, the chowder bisque, and the 8 OZ halibut – from the captains table dish. First after initially only ordering one chowder we immediately ordered a second, what a treat the tomato based broth and heaping amount of seafood was a great treat, next the tiger prawns arrived, not to bad the light batter and cocktail sauce went well together, finally the main entrée arrived, the basket of shrimp scallops and oysters went well with the chowder, the halibut was nicely battered definitely not over done and paired incredibly well with the house made tartar sauce, definitely glad we stopped here for lunch, would for sure stop here again just for the chowder

Update: Since the original review. We ate here a few times since as our food stop to and from Victoria. The prices has gone up since but not surprising with the inflation issues of 2022. However it's still great fish and chips even without the ayce Tuesday. I recommend going for the halibut it's worth the extra money. The tarter sauce issue I had with them on my original review is not an issue now. It seems like it might of been that day but since I like the tarter sauce.Original review: We came on Tuesday for the all you can eat for $16, but due to Covid-19 it's not offered. We decided to still give them a try. My wife ordered the West Coast Bisque (Mix seafood thick soup) $4.5 and British Traditional (2 Hadcod, Panko Shrimp, slaw and chips) $22.75. I ordered the 2 pieces Cod, slaw and chips $17.75.The Bisque was pack full of seafood and flavor in a small bowl. It came out piping hot and we really enjoyed it. The British Traditional is basically 2 pieces Hadcod, slaw and chips plus $4 for Panko Shrimp. Definitely worth the extra $4 if you are hungry because they give a good amount of it. Panko Shrimp is was good along with the slaw. Both fish had great meat size, lightly batter and oil was fresh. The two thing we didn't like much was the chips and tartar sauce. The fries lacked a bit of flavor. However I believe you can substitute for onion rings or more slaw as the other tables did that. The tartar sauce was not the best I had. The sauce is the 2nd most important thing! Which is what kept me from giving it 5 stars.If you are undecided between the two fish. Me and my wife think it's worth the extra $1 for the Hadcod. It had a lighter and less fishy taste vs Cod. Halibut the best, but also comes with a high price, but Hadcod is a nice balance of quality and value. Stay away from Pollock if you see it offered.Service was quick and friendly. I am glad we tried them out and hope they bring back the Tuesday all you can eat for $16, but I doubt I can eat more than 2-3 pieces of Cod!

Brilliant food. Quite expensive but quite nice. $50 for halibut lunch for two. Nice crisp and light batter. Staff is pleasant. Their takeout and Doordash service is also solid.Food Quality: 5/5Cleanliness/Ambience: 4/5Value: 3/5Speed: 4/5
