Pelican Pier
4.1 / 5 (2257 reviews)

Description

Pelican Pier is a popular dining spot known for their seafood dishes, especially the fish and chips. However, recent reviews have highlighted some disappointments, such as long wait times, small portions, and poor quality food. Some customers received raw fish or soggy fries, while others found the seafood chowder lacking in seafood. Despite these negative experiences, others have enjoyed their meals, with some praising the grilled halibut and fish tacos. The service has been described as friendly, and the cozy, rustic interior adds to the overall dining experience. One reviewer mentioned that the calamari and coconut cream custard pie were standouts. While there are mixed reviews, Pelican Pier seems to have some hits and misses, so it may be worth a visit to judge for yourself.

Best chowder and fish and chips in the city!!! A gem hole in the wall that is absolutely with a try. They also make a mean spicy Caesar!

I found my fish and chips craving restaurant but when it comes to price- i still prefer Joey's! This place has a nice ambiance to it. With the decoration that they have, I feel like when I look out the window I'd see the ocean! The fish and chips (Halibut) was awesome! It's very flavourful though a bit pricey. The chips that goes with it taste like homemade ones! Not like it's was frozen and then fried. We also loved our deluxe seafood chowder! Very delicious! Our server was friendly and nice and not too chattery- what we prefer! She forgot to serve my glass of wine so to apologize she gave it for free- which was really nice of her. I'll come back here when I'm really craving for seafood and traditional fish and chips!

Hidden in a strip mall, you wouldn't notice this place. Luckily Pelican is a place my friend and her family frequent quite often and I got to tag along to dinner one night. They've got kitschy nautical decor throughout which makes a fun atmosphere. Looking over their menu, I wanted to try all their appetizers (really any battered and deep fried seafood will hook me in! , my friend and I decided to share the calamari. For my cajun shrimp entree, I was so glad I could get their clam chowder as a side because I really wanted to try it but I didn't want a huge bowl of it. (It was delish BTW, they didn't skimp on the seafood Pricing wise, it's pretty reasonable. Considering there aren't a lot of seafood places in the NW, I'm glad Pelican is an option.

Four of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Pelican Pier. Friendly staff. Appreciate that the fish is only lightly battered so you can taste the fish. The size of the clam chowder that came with the fish tacos was bigger than I expected. Very good soup! Washrooms were clean. We will be back.
