Victoria's tiny Indian-spiced seafood room on Fort Street, where vindaloo mussels and French technique share a table at 4.6.
Fort Street, Harris Green
More infoFishhook has carved out its own genre on Fort Street: a tiny, dim, genuinely romantic room where Victoria's fresh seafood gets pulled through Indian spice and French technique. Think vindaloo mussels, tandoori-spiced salmon, and the cheekiest fish and chips in town. It's neither a curry house nor a French bistro, and the 4.6 across sixteen hundred reviews says the locals figured that out and stayed quiet. Book ahead, the room is small.
The room is tiny, so book ahead and treat it like a tasting: split the vindaloo mussels to start, then go for the tandoori-spiced salmon or the seafood chowder, and order the cheeky fish and chips or poutine as a shared wildcard. Ask for a quieter table toward the back of the small room. Don't miss whatever the daily catch is, it's the whole point of the place; budget about an hour and a half, and downtown Victoria is steps away when you're ready to move.
