What licouaze likes about HIX Oyster and Fish House:
Our waitress with the stars on her fingernails is a great asset to the place. Spontaneous and good-humoured, she created a good atmosphere and we came to chat with other guests. The food was really good but don’t come here if you want big portions or a bargain. Fresh fish (they would have to try hard to serve it otherwise, given the proximity to the harbour), well cooked. The hollandaise sauce was not as good as ours... View all feedback. What Adrian Campbell doesn't like about HIX Oyster and Fish House:
Expected high quality food, the crispy shrimps were a really unpleasant texture and overpriced. Fish and chips were fine, but some of the chips were not properly cooked. It just found it really expensive for an average meal, really disappointing how we are real foods and had traveled specifically for it. View all feedback.

We stopped in to check out the menu on Tuesday, there were no early tables available until Thursday, so we made a reservation for 6:45pm.

Not being a seafood lover, we went to Hix for the sake of my partner's love of fish.
