Route 6 Fish 'n Chips

Everything you want in a Fish and Chip place, amazing fish and amazing chips. The fish was lightly battered, gave a crunch when you bit in to taste the succulent fish...I wasn't going to have the fries, but they are hand cut by the owner himself...PEI potatoes at their best! My husband had clams and they were the best I have ever stolen from someone else's plate.
Don't let the little shack fool you, they have genius work going on in there. This is great for take out, sitting on the picnic tables or snacking in your car! A must stop while touring the island!

This dude really knows how to make some fish and chips. Light batter, crispy fries and fast service. Picnic tables out back are a good place to eat at

Caroline wanted to try this and I was quite happy to tag along as I love fish n chips, and when we started it was a lovely day for a motorcycle ride.

We arrived a bit before they opened so did a tour of North Rustico Harbour to see in person how Fiona had rearranged Caroline’s childhood vacation home. Sad really, with a lot of changes to take in.

When we headed back up the hill, he was open and serving a couple of people ahead of us, but we didn’t have long to wait and chatted with the gentleman in front.

We ordered the clam and fish combo with chips for Caroline, and as I was going to share her chips, I ordered the two piece fish only.

We didn’t have long to wait, and the wireless debt machine they use made it simple to tip and pay, before salting and malting our chips, we headed back to take our pick of the picnic tables.

Caroline offered up a piece of clam for me to try and it was okay, and she said “It’s been a long time since I had deep fried clam, and I really enjoyed them!” She also enjoyed a few more chips than half, and apologized with a giggle as she said the remainder were mine. :)

The batter on the fish was perfect! Light, crisp yet yielding. It was lovely and I’d heartedly recommend them to all comers. I should have found out what type of fish it was, but I assumed halibut or haddock. It was cooked to perfection!

The fries are a simple hand cut Russet that went well with the malt & salt.

I’d happily visit again, and I will now rank this as top three fish and chips on the island.

Wow Great fish and Chips. We were driving by and saw a lineup in a grass field in front of a small shack. Saw the sign Route 6 Fish & Chips. Being from the west coast we had to give them a try. Fresh and very taste. I would say top 5 from a shack on the middle of a field.

The fish was good and so were the clams, but the fries were on the heavy oily side. It's a hard working one man show at the side of the road. The location is easily accessible. 3 stars because it was average and we had better on the island. It looked very popular with the locals judging from the number of people stopping by. Love that the prices already include tax as well.
