    Best in the inner harbor

    All you had to do was to look at the line to know it must be good. Fish and chips were good and the fish soup was very good. Finding a place to sit was a challenge though but to be expected in that area.

    Great scenery

    The staff was very nice. It was a cool day for sure, as I visited in October. The fish and chips were terrific. I am a regular fish and chips eater, so I would say this was very good. I loved the atmosphere and would...More

    Stayed at World Mark Timeshare across the inlet. Great view of Fisherman's Wharf, the little shops and the inlet!

    Halibut fish and chips...Good fish with terrible batter, fried in cheap oil with gross tartar sauce...Sorry, but we will never give this place another chance!

    Good burgers on the wharf!

    Barb's looked like it had a nice selection of seafood, but we decided on having cheeseburgers instead. We enjoyed eating them on the wharf before our whale watching excursion. They were good hearty burgers!

    Fish and Chips.

    Excellent fish and chips in a perfect location on Fishermans Wharf. Don't know how you can get any better. Also a good value, about $15 per person.

    Nice Fish

    We walked to the collection of shops situated over the water and came across Barb's Fish and Chips. The fish and chips came with Coleslaw and we had a drink.

    Local seafood.

    After touring Victoria from our cruise ship, we decided to stop at Fisherman's Wharf for a seafood lunch. It's not the wharf like San Francisco, but is a small, picturesque version of it. We chose Barb's for an outdoor lunch overlooking the harbor. We chose...More
