Merchantman Menu Prices Canada 2026
Merchantman Menu Prices Canada 2026
Merchantman menu prices in Canada start at $4 for one raw oyster and run to $49 for the priciest priced dishes on the official June 2026 menu. The big seafood plates, the seafood boil, the PEI lobster dinner, and the lobster roll, are market price, with no figure printed. House Seafood Chowder is $25. Pan-fried haddock is $26 for one piece and $30 for two. Fish and chips are $20 for one piece and $24 for two. That is the Merchantman Charlottetown menu in a nutshell, straight from the restaurant’s own menu PDF, in Canadian dollars. I read the whole thing so you can see the damage before you book. And honestly? For a Charlottetown oyster bar on Queen Street, a $4 oyster and a $20 happy hour plate of ten are the kind of numbers that make a table order twice.
What Are Merchantman Menu Prices in Canada?
Short answer: priced dishes run $4 to $49, and the top seafood dishes are market price. These Merchantman menu prices are in Canadian dollars from the restaurant’s official June 2026 main-menu PDF, checked October 27, 2026. This is The Merchantman Fresh Seafood and Oyster Bar at 23 Queen Street, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Not a Merchantman pub in the UK. Not a Merchantman in Toronto or any other city. And not the Next Door or private-dining pages on the same site. Same name, different business entirely. I checked that twice, because the name travels. There is no brand-managed delivery menu for this restaurant, so no delivery prices are printed here, and nothing from a delivery listing is blended into these tables. If you want to compare another Island seafood room first, the New Glasgow Lobster Suppers menu prices page covers a PEI lobster supper house worth a look.
Appetizers
Starters run $19 to $38. The Smoke and Pickle Board is the big one at $38. Hickory Nachos are $24. Calamari and PEI Mussels are both $21. Small plates, proper portions, and every one of them reads like it belongs on a seafood table.

Oysters
Merchantman PEI oyster prices are the headline. One raw oyster is $4. Ten raw oysters at happy hour are $20. Baked and iced plates of five are $22 and $20. Happy hour runs 2-4pm and 9pm to close, for oysters as printed on the menu. Do not stretch it to drinks. The menu does not say that.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|

| Raw oysters, happy hour 10 (2-4pm and 9pm to close) | $20 |
| Baked oysters (5 oysters, parmesan, lobster butter, panko) | $22 |

Salads
Salads run $17 to $18, before add-ons. Four salads, all $18 except the House at $17. Add chicken, salmon, tuna, shrimp, or scallops if you want the salad to carry the meal. The add-on prices are printed plainly on the menu, so no guessing at the table.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|

| Orange & Radicchio (arugula, candied pecans, pickled red onion, blue cheese, pomegranate vinaigrette) | $18 |

Entrees
Entrees run $25 to $49, plus the market-price dishes. The Merchantman seafood chowder price is $25. The Merchantman lobster dinner price is market price, full stop. No figure is printed on the official menu, so none is printed here. Same for the seafood boil. If a site gives you a firm number for either dish, it did not come from this menu.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| House Seafood Chowder (salmon, white fish, shrimp, mussels, dill pesto, grilled ciabatta) | $25 |
| Pan-Fried Haddock, two piece (panko-crusted, cherry tomato chutney, basmati rice, brown butter broccoli) | $30 |

Mains
Mains run $20 to $28, plus the market-price lobster roll. The Merchantman fish and chips price is $20 for one piece and $24 for two. The Island Burger is $22. The Open-Face Steak Sandwich is $28. Every main includes a choice of one side. Sides named on the menu are house-cut fries, house salad, garlic-parmesan fries, coleslaw with chipotle dip, fingerling potatoes, brown butter broccoli, potato salad, basmati rice, sweet potato fries, and roasted asparagus, plus premium side options including a cup of chowder and salads. No premium-side price is printed here, because the menu extraction garbles the side and premium-side price pairings and no premium-side figure could be confirmed. Names only. That is the honest version.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Open-Face Steak Sandwich (6 oz Island sirloin, toasted garlic bread, crispy onion, roasted garlic aioli) | $28 |

Now the honest gaps. I could not confirm the current price for the desserts guests keep naming, a chocolate tort, a caramel pecan cheesecake, and a warm sticky date pudding. They are named here with no figure, because the June 2026 main-menu PDF carries no dessert price. Same story for drinks. No current drink price table was found in the official PDF, so no drink price is printed. No kids-menu price table was found on the official site either. OpenTable lists a $5 kids-meals-on-Sundays offer with purchase of an entree. That is a listing offer, not a figure from the official menu, so I am not treating it as a verified menu price. And one more unknown: the official menu does not state whether prices include or exclude tax and tip, so I am not claiming either way. Ask at the restaurant before you order the market-price dishes. That is the one question worth asking out loud.
Merchantman Menu Card Canada 2026
Here is the core menu on one card, so you can scan the starters, the oysters, the chowder, and the haddock fast. It is a render of the current official June 2026 online menu, not a photo of an in-store board, because no genuine current menu-card photo exists. The full list sits in the tables above.
What Should You Order at Merchantman in Charlottetown?
Here is my honest take after reading the whole official menu twice. Start with oysters. At $4 each, or ten for $20 at happy hour, they are the cheapest way to taste what this kitchen is about. Then order the chowder at $25. Salmon, white fish, shrimp, mussels, dill pesto, grilled ciabatta. On paper, that is a proper PEI bowl, not a thin cup. For a main, my pick is the pan-fried haddock. Two pieces at $30, one piece at $26, panko-crusted, cherry tomato chutney, basmati rice, brown butter broccoli. Is it worth the extra four dollars for the second piece? If you are hungry, yes. If you are sharing starters, the one-piece plate leaves room for dessert, if you can get a price for it when you arrive. For another Charlottetown seafood menu to compare before you commit, the Lobster on the Wharf menu prices page shows how a waterfront neighbour prices its lobster plates.
Merchantman Pan-Fried Haddock
Merchantman pan-fried haddock is the dish I would build a visit around. Panko-crusted haddock, cherry tomato chutney, basmati rice, brown butter broccoli. Two piece $30, one piece $26. Crispy outside, flaky inside, and the chutney keeps it bright instead of heavy.
Two more calls, quickly. The Smoke and Pickle Board at $38 is the table-centre order. Smoked salmon, peppered mackerel, haddock pate, pickled mussels, lobster butter, toasted sourdough. Order it for the table and let everyone pick. And the Tuna Poke at $29 is the lighter main. Sushi rice, chili crunch, wasabi aioli, wonton crisps. Fresh, fast, and different from everything else on the menu. Skip the lobster dinner on a first visit only if market price makes you nervous. Ask the server for the day’s figure first. Then decide. No shame in that.
Is Merchantman Worth It in Charlottetown?
Short version: yes, if you order the oysters and the middle of the menu. Merchantman menu prices put a raw oyster at $4, chowder at $25, haddock at $26 to $30, and fish and chips at $20 to $24. Those are fair Charlottetown numbers for fresh Island seafood in a historic waterfront building. Where I would pause: the $49 picanha and $49 halibut, plus any market-price dish you order without asking the price first. That is how a table bill jumps. Where the value shows up is at happy hour and in the middle of the menu. Ten oysters for $20. A $21 fish sandwich. A $22 Island Burger. A $25 chowder that eats like a meal. Guests report generous portions, and the oysters, the seafood boil, the chowder, the haddock, and the lobster dinner and roll come up again and again as the dishes to order. Those are guest reports, not the restaurant’s own claims, but the pattern is consistent. For a third Island seafood comparison at a different price point, the Richard’s Fresh Seafood menu prices page shows how another PEI seafood room prices its plates. My favourite trick here? Happy hour oysters, one chowder to share, one haddock between two if you are not starving. You taste three parts of the kitchen for under sixty dollars before tax and tip treatment is confirmed. It works every time.
