Although having visited Bowen Island a few times, I actually never sat down for a\u00a0proper meal on the island.<\/p>\n

The opportunity came when I decided to go for an easy hike on Bowen Island with Jess and Phil (@domoiscraving<\/a>), and my roommate Tristan. \u00a0We missed the early ferry that we wanted and ended up arriving around noon. \u00a0A note to everyone here. If you want to find a paid parking spot in Horseshoe Bay where you take the ferry to Bowen Island, you’d better take a very early ferry in the morning, especially on the weekends. Anyway, we were starving and ready for lunch!<\/p>\n

The “Downtown” of Bowen Island, is a collection of restaurants and little shops, \u00a0very close to the ferry and the waterfront. \u00a0We skimmed through all the eateries and picked Doc Morgan Restaurant and Pub because it’s closest to the waterfront. A small jazz concert was going on the lawn by the water at the moment, making the pub even more of the prime location for enjoying such a beautiful day on the island.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0pub is located in a large handsome house built with wood and many other West Coast characters.\u00a0We were hoping to be seated on the patio but there was a long wait for those popular seats. Seated in the main dining room, which seemed quite bright and spacious, I could see the nature through those big windows with details of a heritage house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We shared the Southern BBQ Shrimp<\/strong> ($15.95). The shrimps were valium without a prescription <\/a> perfectly cooked – very juicy and succulent. And the American South inspired spices were pronounced in the buttery sauce, a very comforting complement to the sweet shrimps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We saw the sign of “Fish and Chips” at the entrance, so we assumed it was their best specialty.<\/p>\n

Indeed it is!<\/p>\n

We had 2 orders of the Doc Morgan’s Fish & Chips<\/strong> ($15.95), both with 2 pieces of Pacific cod. It was a lot of food even shared by 4 of us. \u00a0The black ale batter on the fish was fantastic, with a golden brown colour\u00a0and a fluffy texture. The fish was fresh, flaky and flavourful. And the fries,\u00a0cole slaw and tartare sauce were all fantastic too.<\/p>\n

I seriously didn’t remember the last time when I had such\u00a0good fish & chips!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Guess what would go perfectly with the fried fish with a black ale batter? \u00a0A dark beer such as Guinness. Another great decision I made for this meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The visit to Doc Morgan was a great surprise, mainly from the fish & chips here, which is definitely one of the best that I have ever tasted. \u00a0I totally respect these restaurants where they don’t just use their prime location as the\u00a0only\u00a0selling point. The proximity to the water front is another bonus to eat here, especially in the summer when they have different concerts on the lawn on the weekend. \u00a0 One more suggestion – get a Guinness to go with the fish & chips!<\/p>\n
