Drew TysonAugust 17, 2016Get your own fish and chips even if you think you're not that hungry and can share. You will not want to once you start eating 🎣

Kristina SimmonsJuly 8, 2012The salmon tacos are unreal (not to mention fresh off the boat). Best lunch in Vancouver and perfect on a sunny day. Pro-tip, call ahead to order to avoid the typical hour wait.Upvote6Downvote
Jaspreet AhujaOctober 26, 2012The food is fresh and you can taste then difference. Tacones are awesome, a little messy but worth it. Order two of them as it will be cheaper as you will want to go back for more right away! HUpvote1Downvote- Tuna tacones are amazing and much more interesting than salmon. Share two and a two-piece cod & chips with a friend for the perfect Go Fish meal!Upvote1Downvote
Gillian VroomanAugust 4, 2017Classic halibut & chips is worth the wait! Done just right (not too dry or moist) with a nice not overly heavy batter.

Try splitting a two piece fish and chip order with a solo fish. Solo orders of fish come with a side tartar sauce and side of slaw.

Abd MahJune 26, 2014The salmon fish and chips exceeded the expectations, they bring the fish from their local fishers, supporting their local community

Lesra PenyezDecember 20, 2013The oyster po' boy here, albeit unconventional since the beasts are not fried, but grilled, might be one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten.UpvoteDownvote- Wine&Dine BCnewsAugust 21, 2012Seafood does not get much better than this. Freshly caught the morning of serving, enjoy spectacular views of Granville Island and the city at this famous open air shack.Upvote1Downvote
NO NonoNovember 30, 2015I'm from the maritimes and I couldn't believe I went to the west coast for the best fish and chips I've ever had!UpvoteDownvote
Always freshly made, it gets insanely busy but worth the wait. Call ahead to have your order ready for pick up if you know you're dropping by.UpvoteDownvote
Farnoosh BerahmanNovember 9, 2014I just love this place. Everything about it is cool and the fish and chips is amazingUpvoteDownvote- Halibut is for suckers. Cod is just as delicious and much cheaper. Best fish and chips in the Lower Mainland!UpvoteDownvote
- Ordering a 2-piece fish and chips and sharing with a friend is cheaper than two separate orders. Plenty of fries for two people.UpvoteDownvote
They aren't giving anything away here, and you have to get your food to go (18 June 2021) because global pandemic, but it's pretty good food indeed.UpvoteDownvote
Martin TutschekApril 25, 2016Generous portions all served dockside. Great place to take the wife and kids or business contacts for a casual lunch.UpvoteDownvote- Best fish and chips in Vancouver, expect long lines if the weather is nice.UpvoteDownvote
Nick SerbedzijaMarch 28, 2016Great food. Quaint environment. Easy to get to from granville islandUpvoteDownvote
Heather MaitlandJuly 12, 2013There will be a line - get in it. Worth it. I hated fish. I've been converted.UpvoteDownvote
Pro tip: If you order one of the sandwiches, eat it over your slaw. The drippings make it taste even better.UpvoteDownvote
Rachel HOctober 16, 2013Everything is delicious! First timers start with Halibut & chips. Gotta eat here.UpvoteDownvote
elim kwokApril 1, 2010The tacones are always fresh and tasty, no matter which one you get. Salmon and tuna are my staples.... Oh and a side of fries! The best ones in town!UpvoteDownvote
PaulineMay 5, 2013Order a fish and chips its delicious ! French fries are home made :-)UpvoteDownvote
Doug BurgoyneMarch 9, 2010I'd rather go to this fish shack (it's literally a trailer by the public fish dock) than any fancy restaurant in town. Everything is fresh and tastes great!Upvote2Downvote- Kristina SimmonsAugust 19, 2011Hands down best lunch- try the salmon tacos. Call ahead (this will save you an hour wait!).UpvoteDownvote
jadorekittyOctober 13, 2013Really good fish and chips...and I don't even like fish usually!UpvoteDownvote

Deborah Harris-LaflammeJune 15, 2012Halibut & Chips....As good as Moby's in White Rock.UpvoteDownvote
SherryApril 14, 2014Don't go when they're super busy unless you want to wait for 1.5 hours. The quality was terrible especially for the high price. The fries were burnt and the halibut wasn't seasoned.UpvoteDownvote
Matthew MontanoFebruary 21, 2010Halibut and chips were awesome. Better (just marginally) than Pajo's, which is an achievement.Upvote3Downvote
Matthew KolehmainenJune 10, 2010Have a soup to start. They are always surprisingly awesome!UpvoteDownvote

"Fisherman's Wharf. A great place to buy "fresh" seafood right off the Fish Sales Float. Depending on the season... varieties of fish like salmon, crab, shrimp and spot prawns are available."
