Fish and Chip Hut Eatery - Nanaimo

The market was a stop for us on our way from Nanaimo to Victoria recently (late-April).

Consistently, this is the best fish and chips I have ever tasted.

We picked up the two piece and 1 piece halibut fish and chipsThe fish was tasty but I wish we had eaten it at the restaurant while it was warm.

.they are sooooo...cheap in some respects!On our last visit out there, the waitress was quibbling over a tiny container of coleslaw that she apparently didn't charge for when we paid, her error. She actually came over while we were eating and kept hinting about the $1.50 that this coleslaw was suppose to be. We had already paid almost $40 for a very ordinary lunch for two, with no chips with my order and a small portion of chips for my husband's. I thought it was very cheap and quite tacky to even bring this up (and keep dwelling on it) considering we were regular customers up to then, very complimentary and had shared a very positive, previous review here at Trip Advisor. Not the way to treat good customers, a big turnoff.We are going back to Yorkie's Fish and Chips in Parksville from now on when we want fish and chips. A bit of a drive to get there but worth it. Yorkie's has excellent food and unlimited chips AND coleslaw! Prices are about the same and you never leave there hungry.

If you enjoy fish and chips and don't care about fancy decor or atmosphere, this is a place to check out in South Nanaimo. Located inside a shop that also sells deli items, local organic items, handmade soaps...it is a popular stop for locals and tourists too.My husband and I had the fish and chips, one with halibut, one with snapper. Both arrived quickly and well prepared.Fish was nicely battered and crispy, with good- sized portions. Delicious chips too. Not a fan of the coleslaw which was made with a slightly sweet oil type dressing. I prefer creamy style coleslaw. That could be improved.I also thought that the location of some tables in very close proximity to fragrant soaps etc, could be improved. We moved to another table because of this but there aren't a lot of tables to choose from, if the place was busy.Overall, we were happy to have found this place and will be back for more fish and chips.
