Local tips

  • Go early for the best selection—popular smoked fish can sell out by mid-afternoon, especially on weekends and holidays.
  • Ask for a tasting platter if you’re unsure what to try; it’s a great way to sample several house specialties.
  • The take-away counter is ideal for picnics on nearby beaches—bring a cooler for summer outings.
  • Accessibility is good, but the small size and harbourfront setting mean indoor seating fills up fast on rainy days.
