Horseshoe Bay
More infoTroll's has been frying halibut at the edge of Horseshoe Bay since 1946, which makes it measurably older than the infrastructure you crossed to get here. You get paper menus, big windows onto the marina, and a line that moves at the brisk pace of people who've done this for thousands of Fridays. Eat in and watch the boats, or take a basket to a bench on the water.
Head into Horseshoe Bay and you'll find Troll's right on Bay Street at the water, the family-run fish-and-chip spot that's been here since 1946. Go for the halibut and chips over the cod, it's the standout and worth the small upcharge, and add a bowl of clam chowder if it's a grey day. Ask for a window table or the small patio if the weather cooperates so you get the marina and the ferries in view while you eat. They're open daily from 8am, so this works as a late breakfast, lunch, or early dinner, but note they wind down around 6:30 to 7pm. Don't miss walking it off afterward on the little seawall and pier loop around the bay, it's a five-minute stroll that turns a quick meal into a proper seaside outing.
