Victoria's seafood is well-known for its freshness and quality, so it's no surprise that there are so many stellar seafood restaurants within city limits. Our real estate agents love treating themselves to meals at these places, especially during the summer months when fishing industry activity is at its peak. If you've got a taste for all things seafood, join them at one of these top restaurants for a memorable meal this season.

• Shuck Taylor's - 1324 Blanshard Street, Victoria, BC V8W 2J1 
  At Shuck Taylor's, it's all about the oysters. Each order of these BC delicacies is fresh from the ocean and served on a bed of ice for your dining pleasure.  
  
  While their shellfish is the star of the show, they also make a mean lobster roll and offer premium caviar bumps fresh from the Caspian Sea. They've even got menu items like cheeseburgers and charcuterie plates in case you're dining with someone who isn't as big a fan of seafood as you are. Their cocktails are so good they draw crowds all on their own, and with an all-day Happy Hour on Sundays, you won't feel guilty about trying one or two alongside your seafood feast. 
  
  
• Fishhook - 805 Fort Street, Victoria, BC V8W 1H6 
  Inspired by both French and Indian cuisine, Fishhook's delectable dishes showcase the many ways seafood can be prepared. From fish soups and seafood koftas to salmon-topped biryani and a full menu of seafood tartine sandwiches, each item they serve offers a unique combination of flavours you won't find anywhere else. Add a cup of specialty chai on the side to make the spices in your meal sing.
