Get Hooked on Fresh Frozen Meals, Made From Scratch.

Restaurant-quality dinners, prepared fresh in our 100% gluten-free kitchen and frozen at peak flavour — ready to heat, serve, and savour at home. Order by Tuesday, eat like a king by Thursday.

2. How It Works

Simple as: Order, Freeze, Reheat, Enjoy.

We prep every meal fresh based on the orders we receive — nothing sits around, nothing is mass-produced. Here's how the weekly cycle works:

1. Place Your Order by Tuesday 3 PM. Browse the weekly menu, pick your favourites, and email your order to (mailto:info@offthehookgrabandgo.com). Make sure we receive it before the Tuesday 3 PM cutoff — that's when we start planning and prepping.

2. We Cook From Scratch on Wednesday. Our kitchen team gets to work early Wednesday morning, preparing every meal fresh using the same quality ingredients and house-made sauces, rubs, and spices you'd find at our restaurant. Every dish is made to order — never frozen in advance.

3. Fresh Frozen & Shipped to Your Pick-Up Site**Once your meals are cooked, we fresh-freeze them immediately to lock in flavour and texture, then ship them to your chosen pick-up location.

4. Pick Up Friday: Swing by your selected pick-up spot, grab your meals, and you're set. Pop them in your freezer until you're ready to reheat and enjoy.

Pro tip: A limited stock of frozen meals is also kept on hand at Off The Hook Parksville  — so if you miss the cutoff, stop by and see what's available!

FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

1. How do I place an order?

Simple — email your order to (mailto:info@offthehookgrabandgo.com) with the meals you'd like and your preferred pick-up location. Make sure your email reaches us before Tuesday 3 PM to be included in that week's batch. We'll confirm your order and pick-up details by email.

2. What happens if I miss the Tuesday 3 PM cutoff?

Orders received after the cutoff will be held for the following week's batch. But don't worry — we keep a limited stock of frozen meals at Off The Hook Parksville for walk-ins. Pop in and see what's available!

3. How many people does each meal serve?

2 sizes to choose from.
Individual: Serves 1 - 2 guests
Shareables: Serves 2-4 guests

Every meal is designed to serve 2 guests — that's two generous portions per meal. Ordering for a family of four? Just order two meals. It's that easy.

4. Are all meals really 100% gluten-free?

5. Are there vegan or vegetarian options?

6. How fresh are the meals if they're frozen?

Every meal is cooked fresh on Wednesday and frozen immediately afterward — this locks in flavour, texture, and nutrients at their peak. They're never pre-frozen or mass-produced. When you reheat at home, you're getting restaurant-quality meals that taste like they were just made.
