Le Shack Du Pêcheur earns praise for fresh, flavorful seafood, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming ambiance that blends rustic charm with a maritime vibe. The menu features crowd favorites like fish and chips, chowder, mussels, and lobster dishes, with signatures such as lobster poutine and coconut lime fish and chips noted for their creativity and bright flavors. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, contributing to a smooth, enjoyable dining experience whether for a casual dinner or a family gathering, while the decor and atmosphere enhance the seaside shack feel. The La Prairie location is described as cozy and inviting, with a layout that feels intimate yet lively, and reservations are advisable due to popularity and limited space. Guests highlight superb seafood, generous portions, good value for the price, and a memorable experience that makes this spot a repeat destination on the south shore.
La place a été un coup de coeur pour moi. Le service était très amical puis l'ambiance nous fait sentir comme une soirée d'été à la plage... même l'hiver! On a mangé des huitres & un Fish n' chips. Tous excellents!
On se lasse pas de ce restaurant. Vous aimez les fiches & chips, les fruits de mer, gâtez vous en y allant. Pensez à réserver, ce n'est pas très grand. Sinon, une commande à emporter fera l'affaire. Attention, l'odeur des plats vs conduire jusqu'à votre domicile sera une vraie lutte contre la gourmandise.

Sooooo good. We got the onion rings to start & fisherman's boil as our meal. The portion was big. Lots of seafood, 3 crab legs, shrimp, cod, mussels & clams a few slices of potato & sausage. Definitely worth the price with all that seafood. So freaking good. Service was excellent!!
Un petit souper agréable en famille un dimanche soir. Cela faisait un temps que nous n'avions pas visite le shack. Toujours aussi bon. J'ai bien apprécié la chaudrée de palourdes & mon fish'n chip panko était excellent. Une mise en garde pour ceux qui n'ont plus de vésicule biliaire, la digestion de ce monstre est un gros contrat. :D Recommandé!
Excellent petit resto sur le thème de la pêche. Cela fait 2 fois depuis octobre que l'on va à ce resto qui nous avait été fortement conseillé. Le fish & chips est plus que sur prenant. Ce n'est pas 3 petits mots de poisson dans une pâte épaisse, mais bien un grand filet de poisson soit au panko ou à une pâte mince. C'est un resto dont le menu est axé sur les produits de la pêche.

Envie d'un fish & chip?
Ici c'est un gros morceau de poisson, frais & fondant dans la bouche. Ma panure préférée? La jamaïcaine un peu piquant & croquante!!
Sadly its not lime it used to be too oily too thick the fish its self was good but not the breading the cole slaw was just cabbage no sauce or taste weird!! Fries were super greasy Our waiter was the best part
This used to be my 2nd favorite place for fish & chips, I will not be going back after the last two visits. Not enough batter on the fish & no taste. Serving one big piece does not work. I would prefer two smaller pieces with more taste. I didn't even finish eating the fish as it was not good. It's too bad as this place used to be good.

A growing institution on the South Shore. This place has been around for a while! Not too many spots like this on the South Shore & this place has the merit to serve pretty fresh fish. Nothing like fresh fish. Flaky, meaty, tasty.
Makes for great place for fish & chips. The size is also very respectable but we wished there was more coconut shavings.
Expensive but worth it.
I will say that when we went, the frying was not up to par...too much oil in the batter (fryer not hot enough or batter not cold enough?)
Unfortunately, the octopus is forgettable. Flavor is not special (although the menu description looks promising) & the cooking is not good. The octopus is too soft/cooked/grilled/boiled...not sure what it is but not nice. The portion is also a bit small. Good thing octopus has another 7 legs. The dish has potential!
We enjoyed two whole Lobsters with shrimp cocktail starters & some oysters. There's a full bar & good wine list. The food was really good & our server Valerie was excellent taking time to chat with us after the meal. The La Prairie location is decorated like a small cosy seaside fisherman's cabin with all the adornments.
We will definitely recommend to friends & go back again.
Make a reservation as it gets busy, even during the week.
Love this place! The seafood is fantastic & the atmosphere is just the coolest, I love the way they decorated the place & really played into the'fisherman's shack' aspect. The clam chowder is excellent. They even have homemade ice tea!
What a fun discovery! The food was delicious. We had the clam chowder, & fish & chips, it was so good! The place is well decorated & the service was great. Will definitely be back!
A hidden gem in La Prairie! This is the place to go to on the south shore of Montreal if you're craving delicious seafood! Everything was fresh, super tasty & the service we got is also excellent! Super friendly staff & great restaurant ambiance! Their fish & chips & seafood platter are a must try! We would come back here for sure!
Quand on a envie de manger un bon fish & chips c'est mon endroit préféré surtout l'été.
Ils servent vraiment des bons morceaux de poisson & le service est excellent. J'ai hâte qu'ils ramènent les rouleaux croustillants avec homard.
