Sittin’ on the dock of the bay,

watchin’ the tide roll away…

With summer coming to an end, and the long lineups diminishing, service shouldn’t take too long, but ordering ahead with the app is never a bad idea. 

Accessibility Factors:

While Red Fish Blue Fish is on level ground, it is on a somewhat bumpy wood planked dock.

There is pay parking on either side of the dock, and a ramp on one side down to the dock near the Harbour Authority office, but it takes a bit of manoeuervering to get down to it. One narrow section of seating is shaded by a metal roof.

The closest accessible bathrooms are a five minute walk along the sea wall from Red Fish Blue Fish, located underneath the Tourist Information Centre and Milestones Restaurant at 812 Wharf Street. The bathrooms are gender-neutral, with handrails and a changing table.

Verdict:

With an eco-friendly approach to the classic fish and chip shop, doling out delicious fare using Oceanwise seafood, Red Fish Blue Fish is a local take on the classic comfort food. Not to be missed, but be prepared for the bumpy dock!
