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!
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!!
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!
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.
Service impeccable. Petit donc réservez pour vous assurer d'avoir une place!
Mon épouse a pris le fish & chips & il était wow!🤩 Grosse portions elle a pas tout mangé. De mon coté je me suis laissé tenter par le burger aux crevettes & je n'ai pas été déçu!
L'entrée crevette Bang Bang 🍤 étais aussi parfaite.
Had the fish & chips, grilled cod & fried platter. Food was very delicious with reasonable portions. The service was good & the atmosphere fitted the fishing shack vibe.
The restaurant is more on the smaller side, so if you want to go, it's best to make a reservation beforehand. Would recommend a visit if you are ever in the area!

Tucked away in the charming riverside town of La Prairie, just a short drive from Montreal, Shack Du Pêcheur offers a coastal culinary escape without ever leaving Quebec. From the moment you walk up to this laid-back yet stylish seafood shack, the smell of the ocean mingles with charcoal & citrus, letting you know you're in for something special.
The ambiance here is effortlessly inviting - a mix of rustic charm & vibrant maritime flair. Whether you're lounging on their breezy terrace in the summer or cozying up indoors, there's an unmistakable warmth to this place that mirrors its food.
& oh, the food.
The new Coconut Lime Fish & Chips is a standout twist on a classic. Flaky, perfectly fried fish is kissed with coconut & lime zest, offering tropical brightness with every bite. It's served atop golden fries with a tangy slaw & house-made tartare sauce that ties it all together beautifully.
Equally showstopping is the Méchant Homard Poutine. Imagine Quebec's iconic poutine elevated to luxury status: crispy fries smothered in rich lobster bisque-inspired gravy (bechamel) , cheese curds, fresh herbs, & crowned with an entire grilled lobster. It's decadent, comforting, & unforgettable - a must-try signature dish.
The Grilled Octopus Starter is art on a plate. Charred to perfection with a smoky tenderness, it rests atop a zesty Mediterranean Tapenade & peppery arugula, complemented with a fresh lemon wedge. Light, flavorful, & beautifully presented - it's a nod to Mediterranean finesse
& for being more of a seafood joint, this place cooked a perfect Ribeye.Something for everyone & the compound butter is sick!
Shack Du Pêcheur is more than a restaurant - it's a destination. Whether you're a Montreal local or visiting from afar, this spot delivers a bold & memorable seafood experience that celebrates the flavors of the sea with creative flair & exceptional care.
Ma famille & moi avons testé ce restaurant pour la première fois cette semaine. Nous voulions y venir à plusieurs reprises parce que le décor & le concept nous attiraient. La déco respecte le thème parfaitement & mets une belle ambiance dans le restaurant. Notre serveur était gentil & le service était bon pendant notre souper, par contre nous avons trouvé que les plats ont pris beaucoup de temps avant qu´ils nous soient servis. Nous avons commandé les calamars frits pour l'entrée & pour les plats principaux le fish & chips Jamaican jerk, les pâtes aux fruits de mer, la bavette de boeuf & le thermidor de homard. Les plats n'avaient pas de goûts, le homard & la bavette étaient difficiles à mâcher & les prix ne représentaient pas la qualité de la nourriture servie. Cependant, les portions étaient généreuses & les frites qui accompagnaient la bavette, le homard & le fish & chips étaient bonnes. Malheureusement, ma famille & moi ne planifions pas retourner à ce restaurant.
Le fish & chips etait immense avec des bonnes frites croustillantes. La sauce tarte gouter tres bonne. Toutefois, lespace est petit, les tables sont trop proches & il faut une reservation tellement il y a peu de places. Sinon le service etait fantastique.
