Fishboat Restaurant

This is our go to place when we're in White Rock. We used to go to another place, but one time they were too busy, so we decided to try Fishboat, and we're glad we did. Food is good and prices are fair. Have bought family pack, 1 piece, and beef burger. All were excellent.

Wonderful stop for the family after a day at the beach! Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly!

An owner who genuinely cares about customers and the food. At first, we had to wait so the deep fry oil could be changed out. How many places even do this? Thank you Fishboat! The taste of your fish (we picked cod; they also have halibut) was exceptional and the fries portion was generous for the 5 piece family menu item. Seating away from the sun was much appreciated and yes, we rewarded ourselves with their organic ice cream. Highly recommend this place.

Absolutely delicious food! We got the family pack (I think that's what it was called) with the 5 pieces fish and chips, and the containers were full to the brim! The fish was melt in your mouth good, and the home made ice cream (crazy cow ice cream) was so stinkin delicious

I usually do not indulge in fish and chips but my family loves it. The ice cream is to die for! Stay local, enjoy the beach and indulge!

Absolutely rude service from a old lady inside who was cooking and I believe is the owner. She kept reminding us not to leave rubbish on they table outside which we sat on while waiting for our order. There was a sign to not leave rubbish but she had to keep reminding us. And most importantly the food. It was beyond awefull. The chips were all burnt and dark brown to black colour and the fish packet was filled with oil draining from the fish. And the fish was only filled with batter and very thin piece of fish. Highly priced and rude place with disgusting food that would give you upset tummy. Not even worth one star!

Fish and chips were top notch but the ice cream was even better. Will definitely come back for more.

My husband, baby and I came here for fish and chips, thought we would try it since we have had their ice cream which we enjoy We ordered and then sat at a table they have outside the restaurant. While we were waiting for the food we were told we weren’t allowed to sit at the table very rudely by the older woman staff member, who I believe is the owner. Super confusing since they have tables with chairs outside, aren’t they supposed to be used for eating your meal? Once we got our food we had to leave since the lady kept saying to go elsewhere! Cannot believe how someone can be so disrespectful! Once we finally got our food it was just alright, fries were very soggy. Would not go back. This also was our favourite ice cream place, we would go at least once a week with family and friends. Will not be going back there either, due to this unfortunate circumstance.

The halibut was fresh and delicious. Some of the best fish and chips I have ever had. After make sure to get ice cream next door at the crazy cow. Amazing, handmade, organic ice cream. It is out of this world. Definitely the best I have ever had!

Only take out at this place. First time here. Fish was good. Chips I thought were something that you can buy frozen as they were all uniform size and shape however there were a few which were odd shaped and size. Gravy was tasty but was not keen on the coleslaw. It had a very different taste. Price wise it was on par with other places. Service was a bit slow even though we called ahead but there was only one person and a trainee so I can understand. Not sure if I'll be going again. They need to have mushy peas

Very good fish and chips. Fast service, takeout only. Batter is good, not overfried. Family combo is a great deal

Amazing service and food. Not to mention the owner Shahin is very sweet. Gem of a restaurant. Best fish n shops in white rock on both east and west beach. Also amazing burgers ans FRESH cut fries which are also nice and crispy! Tartar sauce is so good. One of the best I’ve tried. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The cod and chips were amazing! The service was excellent, and we will definitely be returning!

Our usual fish & chip restaurant was not open on Friday, so we tried the Fish Boat. The fish and chips were exceptional! Light and crisp, best I’ve had yet. Will be going back here from now on!

My first time eating fish and chips and i made my expectations go up.everything was fresh and we didn't even have to wait that long.this place will be my to go from now on.

There’s a lot of places to get fish and chips on Marine drive but having tried them all in my opinion this the best. Fresh locally caught cod and haddock in a light crispy batter. The housemade coleslaw and tartar are a perfect compliment. The fries and onion rings are also very good

The food is good. Lady working is absolutely rude. She needs learn better customer service if they expect tips and return service

I had a lovely dinner. Very tasty fish and chips, big portion sizes. Nice cozy seating area. Will visit again.

Horrible server.my kids got traumatized how rude she was.we will never go back there again.i can't believed she was out there serving cooking she should be behind mental institution.

Looking for a quick easy and DELICOUS meal? The "Fishboat Restaurant" was an absolutely awesome find. Offering "cod" and or "halibut" fish and chips my spouse and I ordered one piece of each. Fresh fish cooked to perfection, lightly battered and deep fried in clean fresh oil as were the french fries. Awesome!

Best Fish and Chips in the Lower mainland. Owner is awesome service is great. Can be a little pricey but hey its White Rock on the strip. Well worth it.

By far the best fish and chips in the area. We’ve tried the others but something about the flavour at fishboat is amazing, batter is lighter which is great, and the owner is such a great person. She’s always friendly and willing to accommodate us!

It’s now the only place we come. I highly recommend the halibut!

Really liked the fish here, not oily and just the right amount of batter, probably the best I have had so far on the strip. The fries were alright but the cold slaw (the best I have had) and tarter sauce made up for it. Staff was nice and friendly there was just one person working when we arrived and she was managing just fine, service was top notch. Will recommend this place and will be going back.

From a landlocked prairie boy, this was the best fish and chips I ever had. Batter was just right and the calamari was oh so good.

Fish and chips were amazing and since its a little bit out of the way it wasn't too busy. Best prices along the strip as well.

As a brit and a self declared officianado of quality fish n chips, i hereby declare Fishboat as a fully authenticated 5 star fish n chip restaurant. This place is easily as good if not better than the well known place a few metres away. I will go here every time in future.

The food was tasty, but I found the size of fish was way smaller than the hamburger bun, a simple solution would be to use smaller buns.
There also seems to be something unprofessional about the manager/staff here - I overheard the lady talking to a family and found it somewhat rude. However they were also that local independent kind of place.

Good menu selection. English style fish and chips. Not your typical preformed. Give them a try.

Came in on a super slow Sunday, got seated and I ordered a beef burger and my boyfriend got some fish n chips. We were the only ones there, and as they were preparing the food I heard a microwave go on in kitchen.not something you want to hear in my opinion. I took 2 bites of my burger and I just could force it down. My bf who loves burgers way more than I do said he couldn't even eat it. It was worse than the burger that a highschool cafeteria would serve; it was really not warm at all and tough. It was sad.

The first best day of the spring and fish and chips is all I can think about. The owner of Fishboat tells the couple behind me not to "bother" waiting because it will be at least a 30 minute wait. I'm hopeful. I'm thinking the food has to be good. I'm mistaken. I'm sadly mistaken. It takes my order 30 minutes and the fish is overcooked, rubbery and slimy (which I never thought could exist together). The fries smell like the fish should taste, which is horrific, and the tartar sauce (at least I think that was tartar sauce), slithers over the slimy bread coating of the inedible fish. I gave a nod to coleslaw, basically we agreed that I should not attempt it. We we're right. At $10 for two two piece fish and chips, this is tolerable to a degree, but at $35, it's an inexcusable sin. Be careful!

We have visited fish boat thrice.the first time was perfect the owner (male) was welcoming n kind n the food was good.second time we called a head of time and made a reservation via phone with owner (male) got to the restaurant found the co owner (female) she proudly said it's my restaurant am the wife and we don't make reservations via the phone, from the get go she is rude and very unpleasant so we just left without ordering due to her bad demeanor went straight to Moby's.third time called again to reserve the owner assured us via phone that he will make the reservation for us. We got to the restaurant unfortunately we found the wife again same as before rude n very unpleasant to deal with and said they don't make reservations n I ask why does the husband ok reservation but when u get to the restaurant the wife treats us awfully n says they don't make reservations? We went ahead placed an order n our burgers were sloppy n the fries dry n most of them inedible.we told the owner (wife) about the food dissatisfaction n she was just defensive not willing to hear or accept our feedback. The
chef came n offered 10%discount for the dissatisfaction. Would we ever go again or recommend anyone to visit fish boat NO.simply because of bad food, and an owner (wife) who treats n talks to customers like she has no clue what good customer service n retention is in business.
