Such an amazing place to have fresh seafood. We had Halibut and chips and mussels & clams soup. Both dishes were extremely delicious and fresh. The restaurant seems a bit hidden in the area but we were lucky to find this place to eat. It’s by Fraser river and has a very good patio and view.
What a pleasant and memorable experience! The second we stepped in, it appeared to be a lovely decorated restaurant with maritime themes. We got a window seat which was sweet. There was a peaceful natural sunlight shining through. The server's attitude was exceptionally memorable though. She had an air of warmth and comfort and she was really nice with a casual personality! She let us know of the special of the day which we decided to go with. There was also a beer menu that went into detail all the different types of beer and flavor profiles, which really helped our decision. We got cod and chips, that were served so piping hot it could burn. I am usually pretty picky with fries but these ones hit the spot, with a good balance of crispiness and saltiness. The fish was delicious--I've never had exceptional battered fish, probably just personal preference, so I'll hand it to them that it was very good. Very crispy with soft flaky fish. And was it ever filling! With the beer, we were extremely satisfied. It's a bigger portion than it looks. The lovely lady kept checking up on us to make sure everything's good, and we just nodded with big smiles. Overall I do recommend for the beautiful interior, the awesome service, the extensive drinks menu and the hot comfy food. Next time I'd like to try their assortment of other marine animals
Sharkey’s might just be my favourite spot for fish and chips! The fish is perfectly cooked with a light, panko-style coating that’s crisp without being greasy. The tartar sauce is tasty, the fries are excellent (I believe they may be fresh cut), and the patio is such a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal. It can be a bit loud inside when it’s a full house, but still manageable. Just a bit more challenging for the senior aged folk.
I searched restaurants in the area as I had a few hours to kill. I was looking for a good place to eat near the water. The Patio was beautiful to sit at, service and food was delicious. I had white chowder soup and the crispy chicken burger.
Awesome place, great decor, large patio, friendly staff fair prices and delicious food. Not really much more to say. Will ABSOLUTELY be back. Keep up the great work.
Great food, friendly service, good food specials! Went on a Monday night and they had 2 for 1 Cod N' Chips! Fish is done in a panko batter which is a nice change Also tried the Ciopponi, which personally wasn't my favorite (prefer a richer broth) but still had a good variety of seafood!
Nice cute place with lots of history and right on the water. Extended patio in the summer with live music, some consider it a staple in the community of Ladner. The food portion was good, lots of salad and fries with a pretty good tasting salmon burger, my friend had the seafood pasta, and it was also great with a good amount of seafood.
