Great customer service and some of the best fish and chips I've ever had! Will definitely go back.
We ordered some fish & chips to go as well as some calamari! Both dishes were awesome and taste great.
Amazing food and staff. Tried the fish n chips and some other starters.
Food was amazing as usual, never disappointed!! Covid restrictions are also being strictly followed. Only concern is one of the staff behind the counter (for the take out) had her long hair down kept touching it, where serving food.
A white rock institution! Try the coleslaw! They give big portions. The onion rings are super good (as long as you are completely apathetic towards your waistline) and the tartar makes the fish supremely yummy. They expanded recently, so pick up your phone orders on the right and order in person on the left. Not an original idea, but get take out and hit the beach. Yes, the seagulls will stalk you.
We ate here twice while in White Rock. Excellent fish & chips but a bit expensive. Service is so slow as I think they cook your order fresh. Very old facade look like the original to the building. Service was friendly and if you were eating in the restaurant they made sure your hands were sanitized before going in. must try it
Food was okay, but the experience I had with the teller at the beginning put me off from the entire meal and I will not be going there again. Its not hard to say "next please!" Or "are you in line? I can serve you!" Nicely. My mother and I were barked at very rudely by the woman who ended up serving me for simply talking to each while we waited, and not noticing that the person she had just finished serving was done. There was nobody in line behind us, only a few people off to the side standing around waiting on orders to be called. The woman who served me spoke to us in such a manner that felt extremely degrading. Customer service is just as important as the food you serve. I am a timely person who cares very much about my surroundings. Its hard to get out and see your family in safety during covid times and it wasn't even a good weather day out. Nobody else was in a rush. The way she spoke to us was unacceptable and for me it ruined the meal. I'm a huge foodie, so that's pretty unfortunate. Nobody was being inconsiderate to her in order for her to feel that she had to speak so rudely to customers. I will pick a place on the beach with excellent customer service instead to visit this summer

I was here once before and really liked it. But, on this visit, I drove an hour out of my way and was sorely disappointed. The fish was soggy and the chips were under cooked. I know that they can get it right but they didn't in this instance. Plus, it's expensive. The portions are large but you pay for it. They "bonus" you an extra piece of fish but it's stated right on the menue so I guess it's not really a bonus... just part of the order. Kind of a dumb thing to make work for the waitresses having to explain to every new customer about how to actually order... "if you want 2 pieces, order 1 and if you want three, then order 2"...kinda dumb I think. Atmosphere is great, wait staff are very pleasant, parking is atrocious, food is hit or miss. 5 stars for the service...1 star for everything else.
HUGE serving. Nice batter, not to greasy. Best fish and chips I've had in a while
Not a big fish eater but came tagged along anyways with a few family members from out of town. Order their burger and it was delicious! Service was great in the scenery was even better. Will be back!
Yet another nostalgic pilgrimage to this fine fish’n chip restaurant on the sea front in White Rock, B.C. Food quality met expectations. Portions were more than expected. Regardless of order size an extra piece of battered fish is added. Plenty of condiments at the take out counter to dress up your order. Word of Warning! The nearby picnic tables overlooking the beach, available to eat your order al fresco, are frequented by kamikaze seagulls that literally steal the fish from your plate in mid flight. So guard your battered morsels very carefully!
Cute place, great fish & chips. The servers are friendly and attentive and very kind to seniors.
Lunch
Really good fish and chips. A must stop in Whiterock!
Staffs nice and food was very good, no complaints
Fish & chips was tasty and plenty to share. Yummy!
Great food! Fast even when busy. Extra piece of fish is default!
Always a line up to get fish n chips ,but it's worth the wait a 1pce is actually 2 pce and a 2 pce is a 3 pce just an FYI. Great place to grab some food and sit across the street at the beach .
Perfectly crisp, perfectly flavored, perfect amount. Perfect. The fish and chips were awesome.
Moby Dick is always a great choice for not just good, but Great! fish and chips, always have a great time good service good food and just overall a great experience, be warned, this place can be busy on weekends. But always worth the wait. Love their take out and being able to enjoy it on the beach but also just as much sitting indoors on a cooler day. Definitely my first choice for fish and chips.
Wonderful food and friendly staff. The seafood platter is perfect for 2, and offers their stellar fish and chips plus other goodies from the sea, and won't break your bank. Drinks are reasonable as well. I've seldom had fish filets cooked this perfectly, and nothing was overly greasy. Their corn dog combo also looked good, and is on my list!
This place was a blast. We were able to sit outside and watch the car show quality cars drive by. Beautiful setting right by the water and the outdoor seating although a small area seemed spacious enough for our party of four. Our server was an awesome guy who made the experience that much better. Our waters were full, rounds of drinks delivered in a timely manner and the food oh my gosh it was so wonderful I am begging to go back. The food is more expensive then maybe it would be in a different area but I get they probably have higher rent to pay but just be weary if you are on a tight budget. The inside of the restaurant is full of full signs and nautical themed decorations. Please give this place a visit
Amazing place, great people, and the food is only the best fish and chips I've ever had. :) 1000000% Reccomend.
We ordered some fish and chips, calamari, crab stuffed peppers and popcorn shrimp. It did not disappoint. We had it to-go and ate in the car so everything was hot and fresh by the time we stuffed our faces. Mind you, we were in a bit of a food coma after everything but it was worth it. Everything was fried perfectly, had good flavor and was crispy! Calamari was lightly battered so it didn't feel too heavy. Worth giving this place a try if you are ever in White Rock to visit. There are picnic tables available along the water, if you wanted a view with your meal.
Take out
Best place fish & chips. The portions are large and the amount of fries they give you is insane (in a good way). Only complaint is the last time I have visited, the fish tasted old and not fresh, it was chewy and just not good.
Super good deep fried fish and chips. Huge portions,super friendly staff. Very popular,we showed up right at opening and within minutes it was lined up down the street. I'm going back next time I get the craving!
Fish and chips I had. Was delicious. My wife had the chicken burger and fries and she enjoyed it as well. Not much outside seating so 4 stars.
Food is very Satisfying, very tasty, for a very fair price. Great place to Eat and enjoy the beach view ???? would highly recommend the fish and chips here ????
I'm surprised that not many people know their portions always come with an extra piece of fish & tartar sauce, so I thought a review here could be useful for that. :) My wife and I love this place and recommend to anyone who enjoy a good, succulent fish & chips portion!
Moby Dick's is always on point. We usually visit once before the summer season hits White Rock, BC. Once the summer starts Mody's is a write off. It's so jammed because of how amazing it is, one normally collects take away and eats it on the beach. The fish is perfect not over battered but has a nice light crunch, the mushy peas, amazing. The price is not crazy either since you get a bonus piece of fish with most combos. As well, the size of the fish portions are larger then expected. Tarter sauce has a pleasant tange and they offer real sea salt at your table. The table service is quick and efficient and they girls will pack up any leftovers into a nice to-go fish purse. 100% recommend for any fish and chip lover.
Delicious food. The fish was hot and flakey, the fries were huge and delicious. Definitely the best fish and chips I have ever eaten. They make it fresh on order and it is worth the wait. They had great covid guidelines and were following the rules wonderfully. With a friendly staff ontop it was a great experience overal!!
The best fish and chips around! Always perfectly cooked and the portions are generous. You wont be hungry for that ice cream you may have wanted before you ate.
Got three pices when I ordered a 2 pc. Thought that was generous but honestly the pieces barely had any meat. it was oily just coating and Fries were ok too.. Definitely not like before. Not coming back :(
The fish and chips are absolutely top notch!
I've eaten fish n chips all over the world and this is definitely one of the BEST I've had! I had their fish burger and a 1 pc fish and chips. They actually give every order a complementary piece too! Amazing prices and the food is to die for! Definitely visit this restaurant if you're passing by
The best fish and chips place in White Rock. You get an extra piece of fish with your order.
Perfectly delicious fish ‘n chips. Nice surprise that there was an extra piece. Staff were wonderful. Keep up the good job. I’ve been coming here for countless years, and am never disappointed ????
Service is good but food is not very good. I feel as though the quality has gotten worse since the last time I’ve had it. Fish batter was very rubbery not crunchy and fish was slimy..? Very odd. Seems like it had been sitting out for a while before being served.For the price I was expecting the quality to be much better.
Great place for some old fashioned Fish, Chip on the beach Highly Recommend
Some of the better fish and chips in the lower mainland. The batter was done perfectly
I have to say I was really disappointed. The fish was heavy and oily. The fries were semi cold and the tarter was heavy and too tangy.. the fish pieces were small but the flavor was good and they gave lots of napkins. You have to pay extra for ANY tarter which is ridiculous to me Go to Coney island down the street trust me.
Great experience! So happy with this good ol' fashioned fish'n'chips place! Quick service, hilarious sayings on the walls, AND THE FISH WAS PERFECTION, just like grandma used to make, seriously! Docked one star because there was no halibut or salmon on the menu, only cod, but at least you receive a free piece with every order! Will DEFS be back!!! Will take it up to five stars if they bring in more variety for fish!
Did a take out. They got the food ready on the time they promised. I tell you what, the fish and chips was really nice and the portion size was massive. One portion had two good size fish unlike other places where their fish is one piece and small. Was not able to finish the portion. Best one so far. Will be going again for sure. Can't wait for nice weather so that I can buy and eat there.
Our favorite fish and chips! Love the decorations in this little restaurant.
Very well done fish and chips! It would be great for customers if the organize lines for pick up and sit in separately.
Best fish & chips ever!!! You have to try them, yumm!
The fish is really fresh and the French fries are great! I live locally and it is one of my favorites!!!
Very good service from the staff and great tasting food dishes we will return
Wow wow wow! So yummy, affordable, and with kind staff too!
Excellent service, the waitresses were so sweet. The food though....everything we'd hoped for. We had originally driven in on a Monday, which happened to be Thanksgiving in Canada (we had no idea). So the restaurant was closed. But my sister-in-law said the reviews were great, so we ate somewhere else that day, and drove back into this little town on the way back into the states. The fish and chips and fried shrimp were so good! Especially the shrimp, so flavorful. Even their tarter and tzatziki sauces were really good. The clam chowder was just ok. I would definitely go back though.
Dinner
Super tasty fish and chips! Grab it to go and eat by the water ????
Good food. Big portions. Friendly staff.
Fast delivery of the food, Fish tasted nice, I think the Chips maybe need a better tasting oil to be cooked in for that authentic British tasting chip. Yes I am British.
The best fish and chips I have ever had... Seriously!!! Wonderful light batter on the cod... Chips nice and crisp... Excellent tarter sauce... Will definitely eat there again and again and again...
The batter wasn’t thick. Very nice.
This is an excellent restaurant to indulge on fish dishes. will definitely come back. staff helpful and friendly
Like the poutine and fish. Taste really good. Source, burger and clam chowder is ok.
Dine in
Have been coming here since I was a kid and although I live in northern Alberta, if I'm ever in town, I just HAVE to stop by for the amazing fish and chips! Tartar sauce is out of this world!
Great value. You get 1 extra piece with every order. Friendly, efficient service.
Prices are great but the most impressive thing about this place was the flavours! Everything had pleasant and strong flavour. It struck me as soon as I started eating, how common it is for fish and chips to taste bland and the same. I've tried several of the fish and chips place on the strip and this one hands down will be my go to when in the area.
Awesome family run business. The food is amazing, super fresh fish, great tasting and good value for money.
BEST fish and huge portions! First place we go when we're on the coast.
The best fish and chips in the white rock! Their clam chowder is so tasty as well. Beautiful old place, been there since 70’s. The staff are really nice and friendly. If you are in white rock you should try their fish’n chips!
This is one of those neibourhood gems...food is always good and hot and fresh...staff are always friendly and helpful and won't recommend more then you can eat...have of course your fish and chips but also have other items like fried oysters ...fried shrimps ..calamari ..and or course poutine to go with it...lots of seating plus now a patio to enjoy the fresh outdoor and the view of the beach...great for the families or just with friends...somewhat wheelchair accessible..kids friendly...beach pay parking
Best fish and chips in BC! Wow, so impressed. Fast, friendly service in a homey, cozy atmosphere. No grease at all...and 1 piece includes a 2nd free piece so great value as well!
This has been a go to restaurant for fish and chips ever since I was a little kid. The interior decorations are the same which in my opinion is a bonus. Like travelling back in time. Great food and staff. Of course you must have the fish and chips to complete the experience.
Word of caution...1pc is actually 2pcs!!! When you think you're really hungry, you probably won't be able to finish what you think you might!! Delish!
Meal type
The fish was super flaky and delicious, while the crispy batter complimented it perfectly and was a bit reminiscent of mini donuts haha. The best friend got a chicken burger and extra, which was quite tender and juicy. Fries were crispy and plentiful, and went really well with the tartar sauce. Recommend
Great service.. fish and chips were piping hot!! Clam chowder was the best.. love the presentation!! The tarter sauce is a food group all it's own. I like how you get an extra piece of fish
Best fish and chips in the white rock area and super friendly staff! Highly recommend to anyone trying to find good and very affordable fish and chips!
Delicious fish and chips! I only go here for fish and chips, their in-house made tartar sauce is the best!!! However sometimes the fish can be overfried...but other than that it’s very fresh! Their calamari is really good too! Reasonable price. Just be aware that they give an additional piece of fish to your order.
Cute cozy place, friendly accommodating staff… gives you the “you are at home among family” vibes. Food is great and portions are very generous!
Staff was friendly and all the food were great!!
Good seafood. We had burgers, fish and chips and various fried seafood (oysters, scallops, etc). Fries were not greasy which was a plus.
Omgosh!! What a great place to eat in White Rock right on the beach. You get an extra piece of fish every time you order. So if you order 1 piece of fish with chips you get 2 pieces of fish or 2 & you get 3. If you can't eat all no problem they wrap your fish in paper & make like a bag so you can carry it home - no plastic!!! Great prices & high quality food.
Great little place. Really cool interior. The fish and chips were slightly greasy and I would've enjoyed the onion rings if they were slightly thicker. What's really cool is with ecery order of fish and chips, you get a complimentary peace of fish. Also would've been nice if they offered a variety of fishes to choose from such as salmon and halibut
This has been a regular spot to visit for me forever now when I visit White Rock. This time was no exception and the fish was great. The portions we're huge and the fish was cooked perfectly. The being was crisp and the fish was nice and flakey. Already looking forward to our next visit.
Awesome fish and chips!!! If you are a small eater, order a 2 or 3 piece and share it. The fish is huge and you get lots of fries and ????
Best fish n chips outside of England. ???? the staff are always nice, food is always delish, place is always clean with fast service. Try to not need the bathroom though, it’s so tiny you can’t help but hit something when maneuvering in there lol
Known for its legendary super famous fish and chips since the year 1975. We ordered their crab poppers, fish & chips & chicken burger. Everything tasted delicious. Whenever you come to Vancouver, this place is a must come.
They advertise best fish and chips and are not kidding. Light coating and the cod inside tastes buttery. You don't get weighed down by the breading. Chips are crisp and no grease. Nice crunch. And watch each order I comes with more fish than you order! Several beers but all bottled. Some wine and spirits. And what really adds to it is just reading the walls! There's a lot in the building besides fish! Outdoor seating available.
Love the coastal decor in the new expansion! The food is great as usual.
Best fish and chips place I've been to
This is a great place to eat, huge portions of really good fish and chips. Would highly recommend. Hit up low tide on the beach then get some fish and chips for lunch with your family for a great day out
Fish and Chips show right across from the beach on the strip. Usual F&C fare with chowder and tartar sauce and the like. When you order 1 piece, you get 2, 2 pieces you get 3; and so on. The fish is cod it looks / feels / tastes like. Overall, the takeaway service is good and quick, they make the fish fresh for you and the chips are likewise crispy and yummy. The tartar sauce appears homemade, and a good complement to the fish. Had the clam chowder which was quite good too; white version, very creamy and lots of stuffins in there. The fish was cooked well, albeit a bit greasy but i guess that's what you get for F&C on the beach head. The menu also has burgers including fish burgers, as well as a seafood platter with breaded shrimp and oysters and scallops. The spot certainly is popular, and a great location; just order and take away and walk across the road to the beach and eat right there. Pricey, but on par with most resort style places serving the same fare ($30ish for 2+1 pieces and fries). Would come again, but there are multiple such F&C places on the strip to try as well.
Fast friendly service, fresh fish and generous portions. The homemade tarter sauce was nice as well. After lunch we walked across the street and enjoyed the beautiful ocean views. Will definitely return.????
Really nice fish and chips. Fish is fresh, coating is crunchy, not too greasy. The fries are excellent as well. Usually you get one or the other but at Moby Dick, both were great. So good when we go! You seem to always get an extra piece of fish and loads of fries with it...and the tartar sauce❤️...really yummy Two restaurants side by side. One with a liquor license, one without. Tasty fish and chips with an unusual twist. Order one piece and get two; order two pieces and get three. Reasonable prices.
Used to come here often. recent visit I found the fish batter bland and basically flavourless. The homemade tartar sauce couldn't save it. Portions are good and service impeccable though
Service was quick, and food was excellent.
The very best fish and chips! The tartar is worth going for. Been going here for over 20 years.
Fresh food, crispy but not over crispy. Fresh, quantity is good, service is great. We enjoyed it very much!
Anyone in town or who has visited town will tell you that Moby dicks is the best fish and chips in town... And they tell you this because it's true. During peak summer season snagging a table can be a very long wait. It's a great option to get to go and eat along the beach as well for a picnic. Now don't forget you get an extra piece of cod when you order. Now the most succulent thing you can press your lips against is some Moby Dick cod.
Pick up or drop-in to this wonderful ocean front fish and chips restaurant for some seriously good fish and chips. Their popcorn shrimp is worth trying out too. Great prices and you always get one extra piece than what you ordered. Staff is super friendly and we'll be back!!
We didn’t have a good experience. We saw some reviews saying that was the best and most well known fish and chips from white rock, but maybe the expectation was too high. today we ordered a 2 pieces fish and chips. It was an Alaska cod fish and the fish was soggy , the batter was oily and soft in some places. Also, there was no salt on the fish nor on the fries. The thing that we liked was the tartar sauce! Maybe was a one time only mistake, but unfortunately for us wasn’t a good experience .
The waitress Taylor made our night super fantastic! We had a blast joking with her our entire night. I can say she was probably the funnest waitress I have ever had. The food was great as well and fairly priced. Excellent night!
Enjoyed the chowder, fries and entree caesar salad! The fish batter was good and fish was fresh! Fried oyster was not good though, not fresh and tiny.
I went into this place with some friends on a rainy day, there we a bit of a wait because it was busy but the fish and chips were amazing. The tartar sauce was absolutely heavenly. The place is small but specially efficient. The decorations were all really cool to look at.
Service was very fast under 10 minutes, freshly made. Got gravy for the fries and it had a bit of an odd flavour to it, like they added Cajun spices or something. Wasn't a huge fan of the gravy. The fish was a little greasy but had a good crunch and decently sized pieces. Also got a side of coleslaw, it was good but a little plain, could have used a bit more tang to it. Overall had a great lunch at the beach today. We took it to go and sat at the picnic tables just across the street.
A slow night, yet it took 30 minutes for a take out order to be ready. The fish was greasy and not as enjoyable as visits in previous years.
Staff was friendly and the fish and chips were excellent.
Always amazing yummy cod. Best spot in white rock????
The fish and chips was delicious ???? Service is friendly and efficient. Decor is unique with a true seaside feel . You get lots of food for your dollar ..you won't leave hungry !
Always such a good experience here! Staff is really friendly, you get your food in the time frame that you're told. The cod is always fantastic and the fries are always the best!
Good thing we asked for and kept the receipt for the order as it included 2 kids meals which they missed, and we had to prove that these meals were in fact ordered as they were unable to find their copy of the order. Then had to remind them to include the juice that comes with the kids meal. Food tasted great though.
We absolutely love this place, they are very great tasting and very generous with their fish n chips. We love getting our order to go,and go to sit at the beach,to enjoy with our children.
The fish was super flaky and delicious, while the crispy batter complimented it perfectly and was a bit reminiscent of mini donuts haha. The friend got a chicken burger and extra, which was quite tender and juicy. Fries were crispy and plentiful, and went really well with the tartar sauce. must try it
Fish and chips are the best menu there.
Dine in
Wow...what a fantastic experience. Decided to head in to White Rock on a whim and googled some local restaurants. Moby Dick's looked inviting so we decided to give it a try. Of course...we had to try the fish and chips. We were seated at a lovely table and enjoyed the whimsical, sea shanty decor. Our server was very fast, friendly, and attentive. Our meals came quickly and piping hot. Fish done to perfection, with a batter that was a bit thicker than tempura, but definitely not over-thick. Light and crispy and not too salty, which we loved. The fries were crazy good! I'm not a tartare sauce fan, but my hubby is and he raved about it. Portions are huge and the price is very reasonable. Great, friendly staff put this place over the top. We'll be back!
Good food, great staff! Been coming for years, 2 piece fish and chips = food coma!
Seems to be steadily going downhill the last couple of years. My family's had property just a few doors down since the 50's so I've grown up on White Rock fish and chips. I probably still have a measurable amount of news print ink in my system.The fish and chips use to be really really good here but now the last four times I've been it's just "OK" to "Meh". It's now nothing special really. Both the fish and the chips were quite overdone this last time actually. Does this place have new owners? My old go to favourite from the 70's and 80's is next door and will probably get a visit next time.
Service is great and food is an awesome bang for your buck. Had the 1 piece (which is actually 2 pieces) fish and chips as well as the sampler platter. Fish was lovely as were the chips. The onion rings were some of the best I had and everything else on the sampler platter was decent. It's a very casual place to enjoy lunch and the prices can't be beat.
Best Fish&Chips here in White Rock Beach 1 Fish & Chips + 1 complementary Fish - awesome Serving was plentiful, Fish+Tartar sauce super tasty
I ordered a single fish and chips while my brother ordered 2 fish and chips. We both got 3 fishes and way too many chips to finish. We thought the fish could use some more seasoning (lacked salt) but I'm pretty sure you can just ask for that. Definitely recommend
What a gem! It’s small and kind of crummy, but the food, prices and above all, service are excellent! We’ve done takeout there several times but never ate inside. Obviously a local favourite. Highly recommend if you aren’t too posh. I’ve not had a happy face chicken burger ever before!!
The best fish and chips you can get in White Rock. There is usually a line in the summer as it is. You can get it to go and sit by the ocean and defend your food from savage sea gulls while enjoying the view. They will always give you an extra fried fish for however many they order. Don’t forget to enjoy their rustic cut fries.
There were 3 ladies looking at different directions when i was the first one to line up at 4:55 PM on mar-20, 2021, Saturday. The staff did not came to me to attend till the time there was a lineup behind me. I consider it Racism!!!! Just to recollect your memory and ask you staff, if you consider such aspects important: I am the one who waited for nice 40-50 seconds to get his 5 second query - about GLUTEN FREE fish n chips, answered by one of the 3 ladies who were standing just 2 meters away, not busy in anyother task, but IGNORING!!! Thanks for the wonderful bitterness in my beach experience!! And for the review readers: They do NOT have anything for Gluten free fish n chips!!!!
BEST FISH & CHIPS!! The portion sizes are huge (if you order two pieces you get three). My husband doesn’t like fish and chips and loved them here! Everything is so fresh and tasty. Eat in or take out and enjoy by the beach!
The fish and chips are amazing. I suggest order smallest plate. Like 1 fish because bigger the plate gets, more the fries
My husband heard about this place on the radio so we came here great location right across for the beach portions are more then you ask for tartar sauce delicious great atmosphere very clean they also have takeout for people who wanna eat on the beach My husband isn’t a fish fan but he was a fan of this place and the price was good
Had the cod( halibut was out, worldwide shortage I've heard) cod was terrible, batter was soft and way way too thick. I would like a little fish with my batter please... Wife and kids cod had a ton of bones in it as well. Meh...
Long wait, but the food is delicious!! Also the fact they give you an extra piece of fish is a wonderful bonus ???? Their large tartar sauce was more than enough for us
Best fish and chips place on the west coast. Friendly staff, reasonably priced, you always get one more piece than you order, wicked tartar sauce.
We were surprised to get a complimentary extra piece of fish when we ordered 2 pieces we got 3. So great to be able to walk over and take it to the beach!
Lunch
Delicious Fish and chips, for now is take out only, the day I went it was cash only, supposedly temporary; we ordered the 5 pieces + 1 bonus piece combo, plenty of food for 4 adults, they charge for tartar but the $1.85 Large size was huge, almost too much, next time I will order the smaller size, bill was $48 which is very good price for the amount of food we got, take it to the beach and have a picnic.
Delicious fish and chips! Friendly staffs is an added bonus.
To our disappointment, we felt a little robbed when we ordered our meal and noticed the people after us received a massive amount of extra fries and tartar sauce! And I’m talking a giant heap of fries. Sure we only bought one piece, and they bought three pieces of fish, But it ‘leaves a bad taste’ (hehe, pun intended) seeing someone else get a tone of free stuff when we’re all paying / return / loyal customers. On a positive note, we do enjoy the quality. We’ve taken many friends here and they all love it. I also love how when you order “one piece” of fish, you actually get two pieces. I would have rated a 4.5, but we’ll see how the next visit goes.
Great food and good service. Highly recommended.
Fantastic, have been going there for decades.... great food, great view for take out
I love this place take your food to go sit out on the beach or picnic tables, be careful of the seagulls they will steal your food. Just remember to get extra tartar sauce because that stuff is like gold. Also if you order a one peice they give you two, and the two they give 3 and so on. Big portions for sharing ☺️ The quality is consistent after years of dining here. ????????
Great fish and chips place. I ordered The Captain Platter for two ( includes 6 fried shrimps, 4 fried oysters, 6 fried scallops, 3 pieces of fish, fries, onion rings and salad) for $47. The price was very good for the portion, we were so full and satisfied. Everything tasted delicious, the batter was light, the seafood were fresh. Service was awesome. Limited patio seat but a great takeout option.
Batter was greasy and VERY thick! Lots of it was undercooked and raw! Yet, the fish was dry and over cooked. My dogs are still eating all the dry cod and greasy batter and chips. Never again. I'm used to eating quality fish and chips. I never see the owner there any more.
Best Fish and Chips in BC! This is our go to restaurant for authentic British Fish & Chips. Whenever we need a fix, we head north into Canada to the beautiful, quaint, seaside town of White Rock. While there are several other places to get fish and chips in town, Moby's is the best. No matter what size you order, you'll get an extra piece of fish, so plan accordingly. We like to take home the left overs. They reheat perfectly in the toaster oven. They also have the tastiest tartare sauce I've ever had. Don't forget to grab an after dinner lolly on your way out. They have the Mega Double Smarties lollies, which were always a childhood favorite!
Great food , rude customer service. Over 20 of us went there,everyone ordered food, few of us asked for a piece of lemon ( obviously goes well with fish ) ,she said " next one wants lemon, I will charge for it " ???$#@&. We dropped over $300 for the food and you want to charge us for a piece of lemon ??? Very cheap thinking ???? and the way she said it was not pleasant. Definitely not going there again !!!!
First fish and chips had on this neighborhood and so far, so good. Very busy when we went, and their through put seems efficient enough. Dine in available for patio seating up to 3 tables. You can't order take out and choose to go inside after. Fish is cooked well, and the batter has a good crisp to it - though, some parts can be a little doughy. Fries are seasoned well and cooked fresh. It's a hit for sure. Onion rings are also well-seasoned, and sliced on the thinner side. Less onion in the bites, but it's still good. Yes to tartar sauce lol. The large portion is good enough for 6-8+ fish.
The Long Island and calamari were some of the best I've had and the fish had an amazing batter.
One of the best seafood restaurants I have been to, in terms of quality of food, the ambience and price. I had fried cod with French fries, the standard English type but awesome-- melting in my mouth, just enough crispiness and spice. The atmosphere was cozy and family-friendly. Always a favouite and usually wins the locals top choice awards for fish and chips. Fast and super yummy.
My fish was totally over cooked ...fries were delicious The young girl that took my order was very pleasant ????
Amazing experience and food! The host and our waitress were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area! We are visitng from out of town and was our first time in White Rock, and it didn't disappoint! Would go back in a heart beat and would recommend to anyone! Picture is the view of the water from across the road
Great seafood. The fish and chips is delicious. The jalapeño poppers with crab Meat are amazing.
The fish was super flaky and delicious, while the crispy batter complimented it perfectly and was a bit reminiscent of mini donuts. My best friend got a chicken burger, which was quite tender and juicy. Fries were crispy and plentiful, and went really well with the tartar sauce. Very nice restaurant. Must try it
very nice fish and chips! plus lots of tarter and coleslaw! our server was a lovely young lady, and our food came quick.
Wife and I went for lunch. Had very good fish plus a large Ceasars salad. Ordered 4 pieces of fish but took 2 home. Their draft beer was excellent. Price's are reasonable and service is great. Only problem was they wrapped our remaining fish and chips in heavy paper which still allowed oil to soak through. Need a better idea for take home food.
Big portions and great quality. Can't go wrong with this place when down by the water. Definitely be coming again when in White Rock.
A good, solid, fish-and-chip restaurant. The portion sizes were great (the 1 piece was plenty for me, as each option comes with a bonus piece), the restaurant was clean with some cool signage decor, and the staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I’ll be honest - it wasn’t the best fish I’ve ever had but I’m a fussy English person and it was still pretty darn good.
Fish & Chips were soo good. Clam chowder was disappointing. It was watery and had no flavor bit the Fish & Chips made up for it!
The best fish and chips I've had! Crispy on the outside and really soft on the inside. It melts in your mouth. Can not get enough of their tartar sauce!
The food was good , but the fries were extra well done.
I used to love this place but I went there yesterday for lunch and got the 2 pc. Fish and chips. The fish tasted like it was wet inside it just fell apart when I was trying to eat it. I was really disappointed as I picked the spot to eat. Not sure why it was wet like that other then that the waitress was great.
Used to be great, but things have changed. Don't order pick up as the portion sizes are cut in half. Fish is still good.
Good food and super lovely people, we had a great time escaping the heat for some fish and chips and a fishbowl cocktail!
Delicious food. And you get an extra piece for fish. Bonus! Onion rings are awesome too. Would never guess. Saw a picture on here and went for it. Did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Will definitely go again.
Cheap and delicious. I'm not sure if this is a temporary promotion but they give an extra fish on fish and chips orders so if you're planning to eat two, you might want to just order one. Orders take a while to arrive as there are many togo orders but they won't starve you before your meal arrives.
Large portions and always super fresh and hot fish and chips. Their tartar sauce is to die for
Awesome service friendly staff delicious food and well worth the money! If I could give a higher rating I would.
BEST fish and chips on lower mainland. Yummy yummy. Can't wait to go back !
Historic restaurant with amazing food to back it up. It’s pretty busy but the wait is well worth it! I recommend the jalapeño poppers and their classic fish and chips. The onion rings and the fish burger were pretty fantastic as well - there’s just a lot of food so make sure to go in with an empty stomach!
This place is amazing, best fish and chips on the strip. Just remember, it's crazy busy in the summer so be prepared to wait. Also they include another piece of fish to every order. You order a 1 piece, you get 2. You order a 2 piece, you get 3....and so on.
Fish was fresh. Service fast. Great value for the money. Stop there everytime I go to the coast.
great place with family. The fish was amazing and juicy. The fries were also really really good. Would reccomend
Excellent fish & chips, fresh and fast service. Will come back over and over!
Been here a few times always had excellent food and service until yesterday. Tried ordering over the phone but no one picked up so I went there. The lady working the take out window was not friendly at all and not even remotely helpful. She made it very clear she did not want to be at work. When I finally got the food it was literally thrown into a box. The food that was supposed to be in trays was just thrown into the take out box. By the time i got it home it was ice cold. Every other time I have had take out from here they have wrapped the food to keep it warm but nothing was wrapped. The food did not taste as good as before either now maybe that is because I had to microwave it to warm it up I'm not sure but I will be thinking twice before going back unfortunately
One of the best fish& chips I ever eaten. Nice and professional service. Huge portion - one piece of fish more for free - for any of fish& chips order. Good location. Very nice interior design with lot of interesting posters on the walls. Recommend this restaurant with pleasure ;)
This is a good one of fish & Chips in White Rock.
Great food but why the fryer isn't just always pumping out fish and fries at peak times makes no sense. Just make the things and people will buy them. If 20 people are in line, there's a good chance some will want fish & chips. At a fish & chips place. Because you're a fish & chips place. Fry baby fry!
Not sure what all the fuss is about. A lot of people really swear by this fish and chip place, but I don't really think it's that great. I've been here a number of times, and the food has been about the same each time. The batter on the fish tastes good but is a bit thick, and they only offer cod. I much prefer the taste of halibut in my fish and chips. The fish itself is rather bland, and it's a bit pricy when comparing the cod prices to other fish and chip places. Fries are standard fries, nothing to write home about. It's nice place that's been around forever, unfortunately the food just isn't that great. I prefer Coney Island which is located right beside it. If you really prefer cod to other types of fish give it a shot, you do get an extra piece of fish with each order.
Such good food, the best to warm your body up on a cold day at the beach.
Best fish and chips shop out there! Phone in the order and it takes 2 minutes to pick up and eat
Best fish and chips ever! This little spot has a great atmosphere, a very warm staff and some of the best fish and chips you could ask for. The portions are large -- my partner and I split a two piece (which came with a third piece for free!!) and couldn't finish it. The breading on the fish is divine. Seriously. This place is a must-go next time you're in the area.
Great service and solid fish & chips. No nonsense, good prices :-)
Best fish and chips by the beach. Good fish portion with thin batter and real potato fries. Tartar sauce is decent. I was pleasantly surprised by their onion rings, very basic but carefully fried with hint of salt. My hubby and I are always happy with their food and service every time we visit. Like most popular places, avoid weekends, try weekdays/weeknights.
Keep in mind, you'll get an extra piece in addition to what you ordered. We ordered the four priceo but got five HUGE pieces. The fish was good, batter was crispy. Took about 15minutes for takeout but worth it. Plus you get a great view of the water just across the street! Parking is a bit difficult to find, however.
Best fish & chips I've had in a long long time, lovely outdoor seating & indoor. Order @ take out window to eat at the beach or be seated & served. Friendly staff, Ocean views Good food, beer & spirit's.
Best fish and chips. Largest portions and excellent service
I felt like the fish batter & fries were overcooked this time. The last time we came here, it was great. The service we experienced was good.
Huge portions, I mean HUGE???? chips are really good here but the fish is a bit heavy on the breading. Location is super cool???? seriously, nobody can eat those portions and it all goes into the garbage. Quality over quantity ????????????
This is a really good location. I always remember the first time I ordered... I go back... "Hold it everybody, hold it! ... I got 3 pieces of fish and I only ordered 2. "Oh... that's just what we do here" "Ur Awesome... thank you!" The fries are actually some of the best I've ever had.
10/10 always came to visit family as we are from alberta best place to eat while in white rock
I don't know if it was the season or Sunday night but we had fish and chips 2 summers ago and it was great. Today we went back and fish was not very good like it was cooked before and was sitting the batter was not crunchy and it was very greasy. For the price we paid for 4 of us over 80 dollars we were not impressed.
This place has some of the best fish and chips I ever had. The tzatziki sauce is extremely good, the fish is not overly greasy and has just the right amount of batter. Their coleslaw is quite good (very hard to find a place with a well balanced Cole slaw that is not overly sweet). There is a good reason why this place always has a line, well worth the wait.
Take-out Fish and Chips in White Rock on a cool Friday evening. Last order of the day. We were given all the remaining chips from the fryer - not a bad one in the bunch. Great food. Nice beach front atmosphere. Stuffed to the gills. A good pandemic diversion.
Great food and love the extra piece of fish
Meal type
Classic place always fresh made. Wait time is not too bad like 15 minutes. I think it has been around for over 30 years. The extra free cod piece is nice for a group meal.
This place is an institution on White Rock beach. Have been going for decades and the food is always great!..The extra piece of fish is a great bonus too. The staff are polite efficient and food comes fast even when they are busy. If you love fish and chips this is the place to be????
Awesome White Rock legend! Street parking or lot parking (when available). They are set up properly by CoVid19 standards. Best fried fish, great chips and fantastic onion rings! Very generous portions. We'll definitely be back!
The food is good but the whole take-out experience was not good. There is no direction for the customers as to where to line up for ordering and where to wait for your food after you've paid. This causes a lot of chaos. Very disappointed with the take-out experience. Management needs to fix this issue. Simple signage is all that is necessary.
This is a nice little place that would have a pretty great view if you went during the day in the summer, unlike me. The service was great and the prices seemed pretty reasonable, but I just wan't a fan of their batter on the fish n' chips. However, their tartar sauce, which usually I don't like at all, was very good.
Went there on advice of a friend and was disappointed. Fish was small and batter was thick and saturated in grease. Was very busy with dine in and takeout so maybe just had a bad day.
Always amazing. They forgot to add an item to the order and when they realized they added it at no charge. Great customer service and food. Our goto for fish and chips.
Honestly the best fish and chips in white Rock! Big portions for your money and delicious tartar sauce
Always the best service both in house and take out. Portions are great food is delicious.
The Best Fish and chips in our city!!!
Honestly its THE BEST fish & chips you will ever eat! The tartar sauce is on point, perfect texture and tartness. Portions are huge, and the service is always friendly and helpful. If you have a craving this is THE spot to go!
If you want to visit this restaurant, you must have some affordable time to wait for your turn, because there might be one or more waiting teams before your waiting list. But, don't be sad. You can have some delicious meals and face up their great kindness.
Have to admit, believe the hype. IMO the best fish and chips place in the lower main land so far.
Very good. I had the two piece fish and chips to go. I can eat a lot of food and I couldn't finish it in one sitting. The fries were still great cold and two hours later.
Excellent service, they went above and beyond by providing us with such tender fish and crispy batter. They will also load you up on fries as well! Great value for the price!
Portion size is great and they always give you an extra piece. Fish is fresh and tasty. A tiny bit greasy bit otherwise great place to visit.
Good location for us when we come to White Rock (depends where you park). Good amount of fish and well prepared. Chips are good too!
The best fried fish that I have eaten in the lower mainland. Excellent take out service.
I am born and raised White Rock. I have been coming here since I was a kid. It is my _FAVOURITE_ fish and chips place. I have for to say, their house tartar sauce is what pushes them over the top!! Omgosh. I love it. Also, the staff are wonderful.
Apparently they charge for the tarter sauce! Imagine, fish and chips where you get charged for the tarter sauce! Not sure about the ketchup. Would recommend you eat elsewhere.
So yummy. We haven't been here in such a long time. The fish and chips really hit the spot. Excellent food always
Meal type
Top notch fish and chips.great service with quaint decour that fits the nostalgic resort town feel! Keep my seat Warm!
Stopped in here with our Scouts on the way to jamboree this summer. Living in AB we don't get fresh cod very often... or ever. The fish and chips were great, as was the service and the prices.
Visiting the area on a weekday and had googled some restaurants. Most seemed overpriced so decided to try Coney Island Fish and Chips next door to Moby Dick. However, Moby Dick opens 1/2hr earlier and after talking to another couple waiting for it to open, giving it high praise, we switched up. Nice, clean restaurant with good amount of seating. Server brought us menus and water right away and then our order. Menu stated all fish/fish and chips entrees come with a complimentary piece of fish so we shared a 2(+1)pce.with chips-$19.45 and a small onion rings- $5.35, which is really more like a medium size. Good size pieces of fish, batter is light and not greasy. Chips were perfectly cooked and lots. Onion rings, same. Generous with the tartar sauce. Price reflects the "complimentary" piece of fish but don't mean that as a negative. Recommend as they deliver in every way and service is friendly. They have been in business for so long for good reason it appears.
The batter on the fish today was perfect, their tartar sauce is THE best, & our server was so incredibly friendly & sweet. She even went back & asked the kitchen how much tartar sauce they go through in a day because she didn't know the answer. Moby Dick's is a must when you hit the beach in White Rock.
Didn't have a good experience here. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish didnt taste fish and the fries tasty old... Gave them a try but wouldn't go here again.
Good food good helpers owner is very rude to her helpers and customers very bossy Older lady a little purple in her hair she belittles hear staff wright in front of customers and over rides thier instructions to customers loudly and in a rude manner she should stay home and let the staff run restaurant
Best fish and chips I've had in 50 years. The batter is crispy without being greasy and the cod is flakey with just the right amount of moisture. We ordered the 1 piece and 2 piece with fries and both orders came with a "complementary" piece. Even with a busy lunch time crowd the food was fast and the service excellent. I'll definitely be coming back.
Best fish burger I've ever had and the rings were amazing
Great place to eat and the food and service is spectacular!
Awesome fresh fish & chips! Very well priced considering how much you get, and the quality. I ordered the two piece (that comes with 3) and I was more than full. Also their tartar sauce is on point ????????????
For how much u pay, the amount u get is WORTH IT! Soo good, there was a line up outside for take out and dine in was allowed with a limit due to the COVID protocols. Also they had a buy 1 fish get another for free deal, which is a steal! Fish was crispy and delicious and so was the coleslaw! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO TRY WHILE UR IN WHITE ROCK????
Best fish and chips anywhere. Order one less piece than you actually want cuz they always give you an extra
Best fish and chips in White Rock ????????
Service
Must try this fish and chips place if you visit White Rock,
(Probably) the best Fish & Chips you can get in White Rock, great restaurant, a bit expensive, but the portions make up for that. They have a great location, being in front of parking, though their interior is not very renovated, but their staff are friendly and approachable. The wait is also a bit long, but they gave an extra piece of fish with my Fish & Chips, which is always a plus for me. The interior is a bit messy and the food takes a while to prepare which is the only reason this gets four stars instead of five. Overall great place to eat, and you should definitely come here if you're getting take-out and you aren't afraid to wait. I definitely will be coming here again.
Loved this restaurant today! I came with my wife for take out and we had fish and chips and onion rings. Service was so friendly and when we opened our orders, they had put in an extra fish piece (which were big!) to each order. Batter was good, onion rings crispy. Very happy! Well worth stopping here and eating at the beach.
This has always been my favourite place for fish and chips however I haven't been here in years. It did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious, friendly staff and they brought our meals out quickly. Good prices too compared to anything along the strip in White Rock.
Service
We always come here whenever we're in White Rock, best fish and chips in town, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The team is always super friendly and helpful, and the onion rings are amazing to top. I never get onion rings anywhere else but have to get it here.
Tasty but to much batter and no option for grilled fish
Wonderful friendly staff, very delicious food, take out food process is well organized. Will definitely come back and try other foods on their menu!!
One of the best Fish & Chips places in Canada. Make sure you stop by if you are in White Rock.
Great fish and chips. I would suggest pre-ordering as it does get quite busy.
Always great food. And an extra piece of fish!
Dinner
Been going here my whole life. Was good than is great now.
I have been coming here for years. Grandma used to live down the street, and we would always pick up orders to take home to the family. As a kid, it was a treat to have the halibut or cod. Nice and crispy batter, and tangy tartar sauce. The recipe hasn't changed and there is no need to. This is perfection. Love it.
The fish and chips are always excellent. The batter is crispy and the fish perfectly cooked. Additionally, the tartar sauce is incredibly delicious.
Best fish and chips in the world! Great view too! I have been coming here for 30 yrs!
Best tartar sauce and chubby chewy fish. So good
My husband and I had dinner and drinks here last night and were pleasantly suprised! The atmosphere is great, and so is the food! The 1 piece fish and chips comes with 2 pieces. The portions are large. We will be back.
This is my all time favorite spot for fish and chips. Order 1 piece you get 2, order 2 piece you get 3 and so on. Food is very very fast and service is excellent and very friendly. I'll go here till my heart gives out.
Meal type
Just wanted to say that HEATHER was WONDERFUL. Of course, the food is ALWAYS 100% DEELISH! Took my friend for the 1st time and the staff along side Heather made the whole experience worth it! Thank you so much!
I ordered fish and chips and the oyster burger for take out. Wow! The burger was amazing and a really good portion, and the fish and chips looked really delicious. Great staff, all happy to be working.
3 of us shared the 3 piece (you actually get 4 pieces) fish & chips and it was enough for us, along with a side of cole slaw. The fish and chips were excellent and the cole slaw was nice. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable. Give them a try especially now there is free parking until the end of March.
I'm from England these are the best fish and chips I've had in canada well done 2 time I've had them looking forward to a 3 vist
Order one and get two fish. Order three and get four fish! Huge portions, delicious fries. The one thing is you have to pay extra for tartar sauce.
They have moved to a new location.... just next door. Ha ha. Food is excellent as always.
Poor service, at half capacity?? Could tell frying oil was dirty. Lettuce in salad was turning. Disappointed ???? They used to be top notch. Been coming here for years. Quality dining experience has fallen. Wasn't the first time either for a let down... but is the last. Gonna try out other venues from here on in.
Omg best fish and chips I have had in a long time
Moby Dick's is our favorite place for fish and chips in White. The food is excellent! The service great! The atmosphere is casual with plenty of humor on the walls. There are even whales hanging from the ceiling. There is a little outdoor patio. Even if you have to wait, the food is worth it.
Great experience! People are so happy to see you so happy to serve you. Line up galore but worth the wait. (Ive had better Fish and Chips. I'm not gonna lie. Lighter, meatier and such.) But these chips don't disappoint. Classically make with good quality fish and great traditional fries with excellent tartar. Everything was served an exciting eager waitress staff. The were right on top of what we need and we not the extra mile. Gave a 20% tip which they should get everytime. Thanks Moby Dick it was wonderful and experience and the food and service was fast and friendly. However, I remove 1 star because meatier fresh fish with a lighter and lightly cooked batter may be something you might improve. However, why should you when you have lineups on the street everyday all day. Great job.
Good Fish & Chips. They give you an extra piece for whatever you order, I personally would rather my 1 piece be excellent quality rather than having 2 okay pieces. The fish is tasty, but the batter is too thick at times. Staff is very friendly and helpful though. It's still my #1 choice in White Rock.
The fries is a must.. homemade style sooo good.. everything is super delicious
Best Fish and Chips in all the lower mainland IMO Safe seating All safety protocols followed
The 13 piece meal is great! Good take out but dining in was fun
Since 1975, this restaurant has had consistently great food and is open, all year round. Named after the whale in Melville's classic children's book from the 1850's. This whale themed restaurant is unique with everything Moby and By the Sea. They offer a take-away box and your best bet is the platter for a group. They have fried chicken but really this is a seafood restaurant......
If you are traveling whiterock , you should go there ! Then try fish and chips
Really tasty fish and chips. Big size portions. Would definitely recommend getting food here if your in white Rock. Each fish and chips you order comes with an extra fish. If you order 1 piece you get two ????
This place is still good, still fun, and still very good value. The waitstaff was great. The decor is the same pretty much as it was 35 years ago. I know ownership has changed, but it's still the same great fish and chips you've come to expect. Crispy batter on the fish. The coleslaw is a winner. The pints of beer are crispy and yum. It's not the best fish and chips in White Rock, but it's darn close. If you take the food to go and bring it onto the beach, a seagull will snatch it up quicker than you can blink.
The portion of food is great and quite filling. And the staff are very energetic and friendly.
Dine in
Beachfront location. Crispy fish and chips. Alcoholic beverages available. Patio available, seats about 15. Takeout available. Metered street parking.
They were very helpful they were able to get us seated. They checked up on us serval times and recommended which fish and chip dish to have. We asked for extra tarter sauce and they came over with a container of it. The fish and chips were delicious!
They gave huge serving of fish and chips which is really awesome! The staff and crew are very well trained and polite. I really loved this place that's why I always recommend it to friends and relatives.
Good fish and chips. Try Onion ring l.
