“ 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 entree 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! ”
“ Best decision I made trying to find a place for lunch. The guys working there were amazing, great service. The halibut was flaky, soft, lightly buttered, delicious. The shrimp and prawns perfectly cooked. 5 starts every single time. ”
“ 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 food. The chips are made here. Soft fresh. And the halibut is light fluffy and not dry. I had 2 piece halibut fries and an Iced tea. Stop by for a great halibut lunch ”
“ Was craving for a good piece of fish. This place is great. I didn’t expect the clam chowder to be so good and the fish sure satisfied my cravings. ”
“ I'm very familiar with Salty's Fish and Chips on the Mainland. This location in Duncan didn't disappoint. The food and service was excellent! I had 1 piece cod and chips, it was quickly ready not long after we ordered. The fish and chips were piping hot! Once it cool down was so tasty as I remembered it! Highly recommend this place. Parking out front of the restaurant. Take out available as well. ”
“ Hands down the very best fish and chips in the Cowichan Valley. The only reason I haven’t put up a review here before because I typically have eaten half before I remember to take a picture. Food is always hot, always fresh and the fries are to die for. As for the fish.....fantastic, generous portions you won’t leave hungry. I only wish I could give this place 6 stars. ”
