Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of Horseshoe Bay, British Columbia, Trolls Fish and Chips is a local treasure. It has been tantalizing taste buds since 1946. As Bob the rubber duck, I’ve had the pleasure of waddling into this iconic spot during my human’s rare visits. Let me tell you, it’s a quacking good time!
Trolls was initially opened by Joe and Dorothy (“Dot”) Troll. They catered to local fishermen with their weekend-only service. Through the years, the restaurant has remained a beloved family affair. Gary Troll and his wife, Carol, assure that the tradition continued even after Gary’s luck with the lottery. Now, Albert, Gary’s son, keeps the family legacy alive. It’s clear he’s doing a fantastic job!
From the moment you step into Trolls, you’re embraced by the warm smiles and engaging banter of the staff. This is thanks to the exceptional management by Kim, who ensures that the welcoming atmosphere reflects the values of the Troll family.
The lively space is adorned with caricatures of notable patrons. This makes it an entertaining feast for the eyes while you wait for your food.
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the food! My humans savoured the halibut and chips as well as the cod and chips. Oh my, were those dishes a masterpiece on a plate! The portions were more than generous. The fish is fried to a heavenly golden brown, and it was succulent and bursting with flavour. And those chips? Crisp and delightful! After nearly 80 years of honing their craft, Trolls has perfected the art of fish and chips.
So, if you find yourself in the Vancouver area, make sure to dive into this local treasure that has been captivating crowds for decades.
I can’t wait for my next visit to Trolls Fish and Chips—there’s nothing quite like soaking in the views while enjoying top-notch fish and chips in this beautiful corner of Canada! Quack!
