Dine on fresh sustainably-sourced seafood, wild game meats and more at Big Fish & Open Range, located in Calgary. Its casual setting and inviting atmosphere is ideal for grabbing a bite to eat with friends or family.

Big Fish offers food such as a seafood chowder, smoked oyster sliders or chili-glazed frog legs that make for flavorful appetizers.

Our party was four adults, two 5 year olds, and one 2 year old. The service was excellent. The food was hot and generously portioned. Extra portions of bread were quickly served for the kids. I can't say enough about how great an experience this was. We'll definitely be back.

Of all the places we've eaten in Calgary over the past year, Big Fish was by far the best value for money. Great food, big portions, and very friendly staff who didn't rush us. I highly recommend Big Fish.
