Dear VVIP customers:😘😘😘

🌹🌹To thank everyone for your continued support of Maggie’s, I wanted to do something special this Thanksgiving and give a little of that love back to our community. 🥰This week, all Lingcod meals are 10% off for our Facebook followers! 🥰When placing your order, please tell our front counter staff, “Facebook Special,” otherwise our staff may forget to apply the discount.

🌹🌹Something happened at the restaurant today that really shocked both our staff and me. A man came into the restaurant and told us he was waiting for someone. We offered him a seat, and while our server went to the kitchen to help, he took the jar where we keep our cash tips. Honestly, when we discovered that the cash tips were missing, we were truly shocked, and the server was also a little upset. But then I thought about it differently. Maybe he was going through some kind of hardship. So I tried to comfort our server and said, “If this money can help him get through a difficult time, then let’s just think of it as doing something good for someone.” ❤️

🌹🌹Food costs are getting higher, and many families and small businesses are facing a lot of pressure. We are truly grateful that we are still able to keep this little business going. Over the past few days, we have received a total of 8 five-star google reviews. With Thanksgiving here, I also want to pass some of that love forward and give back to our community. If you have a friend or family member who is currently struggling because of unemployment or financial hardship and cannot afford a Thanksgiving meal, please let them know about this.

🌹🌹This Sunday evening between 7:00 and 8:00 PM, I would like to pay for a Lingcod meal for 8 people who are truly in need. One meal per family.We are sorry that, due to our limited ability, this can only be arranged between 7:00 and 8:00 PM this Sunday, is takeout only, and is limited to 8 meals (while supplies last). I simply hope that the people who truly need this help will be able to receive it.Please come to get it,first come first serve start from 7:00.Please don't send messages for this , because I am afraid of missing your message.When I am working I can't check the Facebook.We couldn't afford labor to only answer the Facebook message.

🌹🌹I know that 8 meals cannot solve every problem, but I hope they can bring a little warmth to these people. On one Thanksgiving evening in this community, there will be a few hearts working under the lights to prepare something with love for them, so they can know that they are cared for and loved by their community.

🌹🌹Thank you for always supporting our little local business. Whether it is enjoying a meal with us, leaving a review, sharing a kind word, or recommending us to your friends, it means more to us than you may realize. Because of the love you have given us, we have the strength to share that love with others.

🌹🌹May God remember the kindness in all of our hearts, and may this love continue to be passed from one person to another. May every family have a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, happiness, and love.

Thank you for supporting our little local business, and Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃❤️

Cheers 🥳🥳
See you soon! ❤️Sorry,I forgot took a picture for the food this time😅

Dear VVIP customers 😘😘:
We’re truly happy to have received so many great reviews recently 🥰🥰, and we wanted to share this happiness with everyone.We are truly, truly grateful to everyone who has supported us. ❤️

We have a little goal for this year. If, before we close for our Christmas break, we can reach 1,000 Google reviews and our rating reaches 4.7 stars or higher, and we achieve both of these goals, we will have a huge special promotion like we have never done before as a way of saying thank you to all of our amazing customers.

We know this will be very difficult. We’re still almost 200 five-star reviews away from our goal. ❤️After all, we have worked so hard, day after day, to earn every one of these reviews. Every kind word, every recommendation, and every returning customer means so much to us.Whenever we’re under pressure, this is the fuel that quickly recharges us and keeps us going.
So please cheer us on and help us reach this little dream! We will keep working even harder on our side, doing our very best to provide you with good food and good service.And we hope that God sees all the hard work we are putting in and helps us make this little dream come true. ❤️

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone who has supported Maggie’s. We truly couldn’t have come this far without you!

🌹🌹To provide our customers with high-quality food, we often have to make many phone calls to find good local suppliers. Sometimes, we even have to drive for several hours to inspect the fish ourselves. This week, we prepared a large amount of fresh fish for you. From loading and unloading to storing it, we handled nearly 2,000 pounds of fish with our own hands💪.After all that, we still had to prepare fresh hand-cut fries, sauces, and slaw. By the end of the day, our backs and legs are often sore and tired. 😥Whenever we feel this way, we look through our customers’ positive reviews. They bring us not only happiness, but also so much energy to keep going.

Of course, sometimes there are people who deliberately criticize or misrepresent our food or service because of small things, or because certain extra requests were not met. We understand that we cannot make every customer happy, even though we are always doing our best.Of course, we always welcome any sincere and well-intentioned reminders or suggestions.

🌹🌹But there are also always people quietly supporting us behind the scenes, recommending many new faces to come and try our food. Watching them leave happy and then come back with new friends makes us feel that we are not fighting this battle alone. We can truly feel this selfless love. This kindness and love make us want to give even more love back to our customers.

Our brand started here locally, and we have always been committed to supporting our local economy and choosing high-quality local ingredients whenever possible. We know how clean the waters around here are and how good the fish are. If you live by the ocean, how could you not enjoy the local fish?

We also see people recommending restaurants because they have a special deal—basically, going wherever it’s cheapest. We have actually tried the food at many fish and chips restaurants around the area, and because of that, we have a much clearer idea of what we want to offer our customers. Smart customers look for good value, not simply the lowest price. You get what you pay for. Our customers deserve high-quality food at a reasonable price.

🌹🌹We would not be where we are today without everyone who has helped us. We are grateful to our local suppliers who continue to support us, to our hardworking cooks and service staff, and especially to every customer who has visited Maggie’s, left us a good review, recommended us to friends, or come back again and again to support us. We are also grateful to every customer and friend who has helped us in the past, is helping us today, or plans to help us in the future.

Give someone a rose, and its fragrance stays on your hand; love given comes back as love received. May every kindness you show be remembered by God, and may every bit of negativity pass you by.

Thank you for being there for us. ❤️

If you love fish and chips, you definitely have to come to Maggie’s Seafood Market and give us a try! After enjoying your fish and chips, pick up some fresh fish to take home, too. Eating seafood a couple of times a week can be a healthier choice than eating red meat. I hope you all stay healthy, happy, and live to 200—and I hope I can keep serving you for another 100 years before I retire! Haha! 😄😍😍😄

Come to see us!

Cheers.🥳🥳🥳

Dear VVIP customers 😘😘,

We can’t quite believe it—after casually complaining that spring arrives late here, this year it came early! Winter was mild and short, and we just enjoyed another beautiful weekend. More beautiful weather is on the way—let’s welcome this wonderful season together!

🌺🌺 Starting from the 21st, we will be open Tuesday to Sunday, 6 days a week, from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM. 🌺🌺

Recently, we’ve been so happy to see many new faces visiting our restaurant. After enjoying their meals, they’ve brought even more friends and family to try our food. We’re truly grateful for the support from both new and returning customers 🤗❤️.

Every day, we meet many different people and always do our best to make everyone happy—but we know that’s an impossible goal. We’re not perfect, and we’re certainly not God. Occasionally, we encounter difficult moments, but there are always kind and understanding customers who encourage us and brighten our day. They are like a light ❤️, reigniting our passion and reminding us why we love what we do.

We hope every customer who visits us becomes a friend, and every returning guest feels like family. If you come with kindness, we will return it by putting care and love into every dish we serve ❤️🐟🍟.

One new customer told us after trying our fries:
“I’ve lived in Nanaimo for 12 years—I don’t know why I only discovered your fish and chips today. Why didn’t I come sooner? From now on, whenever I crave fish and chips, this will be my only place.”To that, we say—it’s never too late, and we’re always here to welcome you 🤗.

We also had the pleasure of celebrating a lovely lady’s 81st birthday in our restaurant recently. We hope to see more customers come celebrate their birthdays with us. We wish all our customers a long, healthy, and happy life! ❤️❤️❤️

This birthday cake comes from Reds Bakery. Coincidentally, their owner is also one of our long-time customers. Our customers kindly shared this cake with us—it is not only beautifully made but also absolutely delicious. If you have a chance, we highly recommend trying it 😋.

We are truly grateful to every customer who supports us. We know many of you travel from downtown Nanaimo, the north end, and even from Parksville, Nanoose Bay, and Lantzville to visit us. Along the way, you have many choices—but you still choose us. ❤️

We also have customers coming from Cedar, Ladysmith, and Chemainus just to enjoy our fish and chips ❤️

Because of this, we never take your trust for granted. We will never become complacent. The only way we can repay your trust is by putting our care and love into the food we provide ❤️.

A gentle reminder: enjoying wild fish once a week is a healthier choice than eating red meat too often! 😊

Whenever you’re craving fish and chips, come visit Maggie’s Fish Market—we’d love to see you. ❤️

For takeout orders, calling ahead can help reduce your wait time.We recommend calling as early as possible to place your order, as many customers tend to order at the same time, which may result in longer waiting times.We truly wish we could prepare delicious food in just one minute, but good food always takes more time and patience. For we are working hard to present the very best side of our food to you, using your patience as part of that effort.🥰
