What to say? The place is deadly, they give you way too many fries and wrap them in newspaper, the fish is moist and delicious and i checked out that fry oil and it looked clean baby, cleaner than a cookout at your mums house. The house tartar sauce wasn’t anything special I’m pretty sure they just jazz up some mayonnaise and to be hones to don’t think they should be charging extra for it, but who knows maybe they will read this and have a change of heart. I’d like to imagine that’s the case because the friendly lady at the counter had a cool fleece sweater that said haultain on it, so she is obviously a seasoned vet. Anyways I think they’ve got new owners in the past couple few years but the place is still serving it up like it’s 1980 something pre-cell phone era goodness in there, but with clean cooking oil. Would recommend.

Definitely one of the best fish & chips in town, I’m usually picky and these were fine without any dipping too. We tried their halibut, calamari, shrimps and oyster, they were delicious.
I’m not a big fan of those chips, they were okay.
Very attentive and made sure our water is filled when empty.

Hands down the best fish and chips in town. I've been coming here for over 20 years now and they have always been consistent with the quality and great portions. 5/5

This place has the best takeout fish and chips in Victoria. Period. I’m honestly so surprised by the lower stars - I genuinely feel that Haultain’s is delicious AND for an amazing price. Everything is always very fresh (i’m so surprised that there’s some reviews that say otherwise). The owners are also an incredibly sweet couple, it feels so good supporting their local business. I HIGHLY recommend getting takeout here to anyone!!!

Good fish. Lots of fries

My TINY $12 piece of halibut was perfectly rhombus shaped - another review said the fish tasted like it was previously frozen - which would explain the cookie cutter shape. NO comparison to Barb's Fish and Chips at Victoria Fisherman's Wharf. I gave them 2 stars instead of one star, because they use newspaper to wrap their dinners - more restaurants should do that. I only went there because it was close by. Never again. I assumed it would be better value than fish-&-chips-serving-pubs/restaurants with nice decor and atmosphere because of their lower overhead. I should have ordered take-out from a pub. Would have been better value/better quality. The sides are also way overpriced for the tiny portions you receive.

Everything is À la cart, making prices way higher than they should be. The fish its self is bland and a little fishy tasting even, the coleslaw was blah and they gave a ridiculous amount of chips for the small portion size of the fish and the fries were nothing special. $30 dollars for the most sub par fish and chips I’ve had anywhere! If you’re in the mood for good fish and chips and want to spend a reasonable price, there are several better options here in this little city of Victoria.

Excellent chips (and lots of them). Fish were a bit disappointing - small and not top quality. Overall not bad value though
I went here 25 years ago for halibut and chips and I am so glad it's still great! Excellent quality of halibut and real chips as a bonus 👌 waitress was very friendly and overall we both loved it. Highly recommend 👌

Real simple quaint place with a couple running it. They were attentive gave us all the dressing for our halibut and chips. Even gave us extra chips because they had them. Really lovely.

Okay fish and chips but amazing atmosphere. Took a while to get served, and lots of confusion was involved, but super nice family running the place. I honestly think the confusion is a bonus. Gave us free fries as well when one member of our party didn't order anything. If you're looking for a solid fish and chips place without the tourist trap pitfalls, I recommend going here
