Friendly staff, fresh food, & a small restaurant vibe. Drinks were also good. I recommend getting the Plateau to try all of their best items if you like mixed seafood. The fish & chips on the table next to us also looked great! The churros were well done & better than some really nice Mexican restaurants we go to. Also recommend the clam chowder! Make sure to reserve as the restaurant is small & popular.

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!

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!

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.
