Freshly battered and fragrant fish and chips! Ordered the cod fish and it was really fresh and smooth inside with the crispy batter outside. Breaded oysters was surprising good too. Very delicious and will definitely go back again.

Easily met high expectations as Vancouver's best little fish eatery. Halibut was tasty, tender, nicely cooked and lightly battered. Fries were savoury and plentiful. Shared meal, with one extra piece of fish. Fast, friendly service. Full, satisfying meal. Great new addition to our list of favourite local fare!

The blazing heat of a summer day found us here. We had crispy cod tacos, Salmonito, crab and shrimp baguette, and clam chowder. The clam chowder wowed us with its satiny texture and the tortillas in the tacos were super soft. The crispy fried fish was packed full of flavor!We sat inside, eating and watching the world go by. The place is very cozy with its wooden beams and sells pickles and other tangy condiments. Definitely going back!

I got the halibut fish and chips and clam chowder. The fish was fluffy, not greasy and best fish from fish n chips that I’ve tasted. The service was really attentive and nice! Clam chowder was different wasn’t creamy was more like a stew. They sell some sauces, seafood on the side. A few spots to sit inside and at the counter. They have glasses for water as you eat. :)

Definitely some of the best halibut fish and chips I’ve had. A little oily but still incredible. The tartar sauce was better than most I’ve had.

Small and very busy place for Fish and chips .The Clam chowder soup on its own is very filling . Its a great tasting soup.The 2 piece cod was excellent as well . It is lighty breaded so it is definitely more fish than breading .Very reasonable pricing , it is a little difficult getting a seat to enjoy but definitely pn my repeatable list .

Consistently superior to any other F&C place in town. Great service but it’s all about the food. I like the cod and have heard their gluten free batter is very good. The bouillabaisse is chock full of seafood, veggies and very rich. Be mindful of the days/hours so as not to be disappointed. You won’t be disappointed.

Friendly staff, batter was lovely and crisp and the fish was beautiful and fresh. Coleslaw was delicious too!

Best gluten-free fish and chips I ever had anywhere in the world. (~$15)It's hard to find a place that does gluten free batter and also have a seperate fryer for that.Cod was very fresh, the batter is crispy, yet light and not oily. The one piece portion is actually quite filling even it looks small in the picture. (Also comes with alot of fries).Good condiments: A slice of fresh lemon, container of gourmet tartar sauce (likely made inhouse?), and things you can request like ketchup, hot sauce, malt vinegar. Hot sauce seems homemade too.Chips are more like north american style fries, the shoestring kind. I would be having a thicker cut if I had fish and chips where it's a native dish (UK/NZ/OZ), so the chips here were so-so for me, but still warm and fresh... Just feels greasier because of this cut.Luckily there's some very refreshing coleslaw on the side and I really enjoyed that. I think it had cabbage and kale in it.I also tried their clam chowder, also gluten free. It was very hearty and you could tell there are wasn't any artificial flavouring, the flavour was just powered by alot of clams and celery/carrot/potato base. The portion is quite small but it was a nice side to have (~$7). It's not cream based, just very tender potatoes that are driving the thickness.There is a counter for buying fresh fish and fish patties, and local artisanal condiments. The people working are very friendly. Highly recommended for a quick bite, it's about 7 mins wait only.
