Oystercatcher Seafood Bar & Grill

There are many good restaurants on Salt Spring; this is not one of them. On a busy summer Friday night we tried to get into The Treehouse, which is a great little place with excellent food. As the wait would have been too long, we decided to give neighbouring ShipStones a try. Our patio table overlooking the marina was great and our server was prompt and friendly. Everything else was downhill from there. My husband had the mussels, which apparently had good flavour but were about the size of garden peas--really too small to include on a menu.

This restaurant and the oystercatcher are the same place. It was on the water and the patio was nice with little fire pits here and there but the food was really very bad. We all had fish and chips and I must say it was probably the worst I have eaten in a long time and very expensive for what you got. The service was not great either. Much better places on the island at better prices.

Stopped by for a beer on a very quiet Sunday afternoon. Had the place to ourselves. The view of the harbour was lovely.
