Reviews of Captain Scott's Seafood Restaurant (Fish Shop)

Wayne Black

Scallops & the Fish & Chips were good. Nice small restaurant.

Andrew Parker

Good ice cream. Long wait. Needed more staff day we were there.

Patrick O'Hanley

The food is really good! The portions are also very generous. The one thing that I dont get is why there is a guy paid to stand behind the condiment counter to supervise them. To me that just screams "cheap" if you are so concerned that people will take to much condiments that you have someone paid to supervise them. Overall it was a good experience with great food!

Todd B

Food was delicious and staff followed Covid-19 protacalls.

Rick Wightman

Excellent seafood and local PEI craft beer served in take out style with covered and open air seating. There is an upstairs eating area with a great view, but be careful - the wind can try to take your food away!

Keith Winsor

Great portion size , staff not terribly friendly. It was not bad but not as good as I remembered from years ago.

Naomi Ann

Good food...a little pricey but it is at a tourist attraction so it's expected.

Shauna D

My favorite meal on the boardwalk since I was a kid. I recommend the whole clam platter! They also do a beautiful soft serve ice cream with a flavour swirl if you're craving dessert.

Steve Lee

Neat environment, huge portions but the food was just OK. Nothing special.

Mason Evans

Amazing did, fast service and friendly staff!

D Brown

Great local eat in/take out. You order at a outside window. There some tables inside to sit at or there picnic tables outside on a deck. Nice size menu. Lots of seafood,chicken or burgers also ice cream. Prices where reasonable and service was fast considering how busy it was. Would recommend worth the stop. Just outside the entrance to the park.

Huge portions but majority of food on the plate is french fries. Lobster roll was just okay I've had better at non seafood specific restaurants. Philly cheese steak wasnt spectacular either. The resto itself seemed clean enough and very busy. It's basically the equivalent in food quality and atmosphere of a "la Belle province" fry and hotdog chain in Quebec only more expensive. Wouldn't return if I were in the area again.

Matt Earle

Great fish. Very buttery and delicious.

Marc Fonda

Food is good, place always packed.

Katie DesLauriers

Excellent spot to sit in or take out! Family oriented resturant! Went to this location twice in our time in PEI. Wonderful owner and great staff! The best fish & chips we had while staying in the island

Dana Hyde

Food is pretty good, found it slightly over priced e've for tourist area. The ambiance of the restaurant is definitely worth the visit.

Pietro Paolo D'Ascanio

Love this place! Bring your children, as there are many tasty options they will enjoy.

Lindsey Ross

Quick service and you get what you've paid for. Friendly service! The lobster roll comes in a hot dog bun which isn't really ideal.. But it is what it is. Would love to see a non deep fried item on the menu.

Sanghamitra Nag

Good.

Tiffany Marie

This place is absolutely terrible and embarrassing to anyone who knows seafood. It’s all cooked from frozen and ripping off tourists who may not know the difference: a huge waste of money and time. Subway does a better lobster roll ????

Denise Conway

The fish and chips were pretty good, but the ketchup tasted like tomato soup straight from the can.

Taya Aradine

Portions are large, food well done and speedy service even with a crowd

Brad Campbell

Good portion sizes, friendly staff, and tasty food.

Stacy Mackay

Jennifer Graham

Food was decent and staff was great

John Cunningham

Simple food, hot and fast, friendly staff, done well. Generous portions! Traditional Maritime fish & chips, plus they offer soft ice cream with Flavorburst!

Scott Mabee

greasy food but staff was great

Brady Galbraith

Amazing quality best fish and chips on the island huge portion of fish and fries/ poutine! $11 for 1 piece and 13 for 2! Cant go wrong.

D Morrison

Not fresh fish as advertise, the fish batter was thick and oily.

Brian Capstick

Food was good, service was good, but they have a small menu. Highly recommend the chowder!!

Jay Johnson

We have always enjoyed this place in the past but this time, not so much. Fish was mostly batter and dripping with oil. Fries were very good.

Stéphanie Rouleau (Rourou)

This restaurant on the Cavendish Boardwalk is pretty cool! They have hundreds of papers on every wall throughout the entire restaurant signed by their customers who have visited from all over the world! We had fish & chips - so good! And a fish burger - Delish! The staff were friendly, funny and helpful. Would definitely return!

Crystal-Lynn Labonte

Fantastic food, good prices, fast service

Reid Barnett

So many memories here. Food hasn't changed much and is just as good as always. Not much on menu if you are gluten free though

Emma Dilemma

Lovely little shop with delicious food and friendly staff. I love the little bits of paper available to draw on and pin up around the shop! Hubby and I found ours from last year and pinned up another. :)

GREG CLARKE

Wonderful service, great food..

Brent

Pretty much what I was expecting. The fish did taste fine. The fries were really good. Prices were pretty good and the portions were really good with big pieces of fish. Pretty greasy fish, but I mean it is deep fried. Over all not bad if you're looking for a quick bite to eat on vacation.

Micro Phone

Nice food. We ordered fish and chips. Highly recommend.

J.W Deveaux

Burger was good but when I asked for a sweet and sour sauce the lady at the counter gave me a judgmental look and asked "sweet and sour for a burger?" I'm sorry, I didn't realize paying customers have to explain what they like to you. It really put a sour spin on the experience. Then she told me after 10 minutes that they dropped my burger and had to start over. Sweet and sour was for the fries btw.

A. Morrison

The ambiance is the main attraction here. The food was decent, and plenty of fries with every order.

Muns

Located in Cavendish Boardwalk- a shopping mall and not an actual boardwalk. I had the fish and chips - fresh haddock, well seasoned and perfectly fried. The fries were excellent as well. All condiments available including tasty tartar sauce. I took it to go but service was excellent. Great to eat before or after visiting Cavendish Beach.

Travis Mackenzie

Hearty portions and the fry’s are so good

Geoff Trueman (Trueman832)

Love those old-school fish-n-chips.

Denise Goodman

Loved it tried the fish and chip never had that type of fish before but enjoyed it. Will be back and i did leave a note on the wall.

Steve and Mary Rushlow

Excellent fish and chips, service and price!

Sherry Peters

We were here four years ago and remembered it being amazing. We’re back and it’s every bit as good as I remembered it! They make their own batter for the fish and it is delicious.

Mohit Thadani

Food tasted okay but portion sizes were small for the price. Also, when asking for a substitution, make sure to ask to know the upcharge. They don't tell you there'll be one upfront.

Andrew Potter

awesome veggie burger. probablybthe only place near Cavendish you can get one

Ashley Harnden

The food was okay but the older man working there was super rude and intolerant to children. He had a couple of poor moms trembling over their children being children. Would not come here again because of that! ????

Chakib Krika

Excellent food specially fish and chips

louis granados

Did enjoy the fish and chips. Will bring the family

Jabob

Chicken burger is amazing but fries are VERY CRISPY, long line as well.

Helen Kempers

Fish was the best. Lobster rolls were not as chunky as we like.

Janene M

Decent amount of fries and seafood for the price.

Pat Ling

Our party of 6 had lunch there as nothing else was open in the area. We enjoyed the fish and chips and someone in our party had the seafood platter. All delicious.

Liam Carey

I hate Breaded fish and chips because I don't like breads anymore

Gilles Allain

Had a lobster roll and onion rings. Rings were only ok. Lobster roll was a notch above ok. Served in a toasted bun as it should be.

Lisa Lang

Large portions but very greasy. Batter was very thick. Looks like they employ special needs persons. Very nice to see.

Doug Ermen

Fish and chips are excellent. The only place I've ever been to that gives you malt vinegar to put on your fries.

Nicole Lenihan

We had fish and chips with an order of onion rings. The food was great. Big pieces of fish.

Derrick Hurlburt

Awesome food , great servings exceptional service ! Highly recommended!

Victor Stratan

Tasty food, friendly staff. We ordered scallops and lobster roll, both dishes were nice.

Jason Sherwood

Food wasn't bad but your a fish and chip place and you never run out of FISH!! Better luck next time.

Robert McRae

Straight from the freezer to your plate. I had the seafood platter. The batter on the haddock was terrible, the shrimp was coconut crusted(unexpected), and the few tinny rubber scallops were sub par for a prairie town let alone a sea side community. This was the worst seafood I’ve ever had. They get 2 stars only because I reserve 1 star for things growing or living in the food.

Andrew Kostyniuk

Literally decades of serving the same fish and chips by the same family means that this is a place for perfection. Delicious, large servings, great staff, good prices.

Melanie Sonier

Great customer service but disappointed I couldnt have a Lobster roll without the platter.

Andrea Thompson

Amazing food, amazing and fast service, amazing price. Extremely clean. Will make this a regular spot to eat while visiting Cavenfish

Louise Reid

Great food, huge serving sizes

Corey O'Donnell

Pretty good fish and real good white vinegar

Jennifer Reid

Loved it. Always love it. Will continue to love it forever and ever.. it's a tradition.

Peter Bown

Very busy spot. Fries were great. We got the Philly cheesesteak and it was delicious.

Larry Dort

Very overpriced lobster rolls considering it was tastless lobster paste made from the legs and body meat . Not a hint of "lobster" to be tasted

WEB W

Lobster roll sucked, bun was old and portion was so small for 17 bucks, backed up with tons of fries, but not that good either. Service was fast..

Jim K.

Quick and friendly service and great casual atmosphere. Good seafood especially the clam chowder. Hours vary by season so call first!

Sheila Singleton

Food was awesome !will definitely return

Wilson Luo

Haddock is fresh harvested, super delicious, potato chips is very good, and, is super cheep! $36 for 5 people, can you believe it?!

Emran Toronto

Just ok but nicely decorated place

Gururaja SR

A restaurant for fresh fish, lobster and other seafood.

Bert Garcia

Fun place. Friendly staff. Great seafood. I'd go back!

Linda Milner

Ordered lobster roll. $16 including fries. There was a few chunks of lobster with some other ground substance which I think was salmon because of the taste. It was also an odd salmon color. It looked like a lot of lobster but the lobster sat on a concealed bed of lettuce. So overpriced and not authentic.

France Ouellet

Great place! Good fish n chips!

E. Blackett

Best fries I've had in a very long time.

Matt A

Fried Fish was delicious. Chips a bit dry and hard

Walter Wong

Average clam chowder

Ambyr Murphy

very nice meal staff Nd good amazing

I have a feeling this place does a good job sometimes but our experience wasn't great. We had the fish and chips. Very tasty fries, but parts of the fish and were watery, mushy, and oily. Maybe the oil they cooked them in wasn't hot enough? The part of the batter that was well cooked was tasty, but the sogginess of the inside ruined it all. Would much rather it have been overdone than underdone. We also ordered gravy for the fries and it was quite bland and almost seemed watered down, it was very thin.

Jin Yi Hsu

It was raining, all the restaurants in the area were full except this one. As we placed the orders, we saw other customers bringing trays to the garbage cans, more than 2/3 of food was on the plates. Slow service, everything was deep fried, nothing healthy on the menu.

Dara Temple

Love the fish and chips. My yearly treat ????

danny hornsby

Juanita Parris

Visit here each summer we go to PEI great food and friendly staff
