You may know of Buy The Sea as a place to buy wonderful fresh and frozen seafood items but you can also eat in or get takeout from their small menu of tasty items such as fish & chips or seafood chowder.
Things of note:
- The West Kelowna location is located in a small strip mall with its own parking lot. The parking lot does get busy but we’re always able to find a spot not too far from the entrance.
- There is a sidewalk curb but there are no stairs outside or inside the place.
- There is a single unisex bathroom that is wheelchair accessible.
- The chairs are free of arms and held my weight without complaint, and the tables and chairs can be moved around as needed.
- Most days they have a lunch special at a discounted rate.
The place is not fancy but the food is fresh and tasty. You go up to the window at the back and order from the board, pay at the till, and they bring your food out to you when it’s ready.
I had the one piece cod and chips meal. The batter was so crispy and the fish inside was flaky and tender. It was perfectly cooked! The fries were hot and fresh. I will definitely order this again, and I’d like to try their chowders sometime, too (they make the Boston and the Manhattan varieties).
Also, if you’re looking for seafood to cook at home, I can tell you that their tuna is excellent! I look forward to trying more products from Buy The Sea in the future.
If you happen to be in Penticton and are craving seafood they also have a location there.
