The 24 Best Restaurants & Hotels In Vancouver - Vancouver - The Infatuation

"If you’re a person who likes to know what type of plankton your oysters ate prior to arriving in front of you, you’re definitely going to have a good time at The Fish Counter. The owners are incredibly passionate about local seafood and you can come in just to talk to them about sustainable fish—though there’s no way you leave without getting some of the best oyster po'boys and fish and chips in the city. It’s a tiny spot with approximately one bench in the whole place, but you can stand at the counter while you eat or get everything to go. On your way out, grab some caesar mix, Canada’s clam juice version of a Blood Mary that tastes 100% better than it sounds." - Amber Gibson, Team Infatuation

"In their pre-Fish Counter days, co-owners Rob Clark and Mike McDermid were, respectively, a two-time Gold Medal Plates-winning chef and a marine biologist. They teamed up to create the Ocean Wise program, which now spans Canada, to help consumers find sustainable seafood. They sell seasonal, locally sourced fish from a literal fish counter at Fish Counter, but the shop also boasts a takeout counter where a fryer produces superb fish and chips (try the lingcod), oyster po’ boys, and crispy fish tacos. There are also soups, including a B.C.-tomato-based, saffron-spiked bouillabaisse swimming with seafood, and a dairy-free clam chowder." - Nikki Bayley

When I looked into the best seafood in Vancouver, this place came up and it did not disappoint! Delicious food!! The best fish and chips we’ve ever had. Large golden brown, crispy batter. Huge flaky pieces of cod. 10/10 would recommend!

I enjoyed my visit to The Fish Counter Main Street in East Vancouver, one of the three lower mainland locations, this one on 22nd and Main St. They offer sustainable seafood and freshly prepared meals. I enjoyed the Oyster Poboy and fries while my guest enjoyed the Salmon and Chips.

My husband and I stopped in today for lunch and this was our first time trying The Fish Counter. To start, the service here was very friendly and they got the food out in a timely manner. The restaurant was super clean and had a cool rustic feel. Since we live in California, we wanted to try a few things on the menu. We decided on the Fish n Chips with halibut and a side piece of cod to compare. The gentlemen working let us know it may be a few extra minutes for the halibut, as it was still being prepared (i.e. filleted), talk about fresh!!! While both the cod and halibut were extremely fresh and delicious, we felt the cod was slightly better in this preparation, obviously a personal preference. The fries (chips) and sauce were very good as well! We also tried 4x the Crispy Cod Tacos, which were absolutely amazing. The portion size was huge!! We loved the salsa inside the taco as well, in fact we bought some to go! Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. You get a lot of food for your money. We look forward to trying more items. We will definitely be back on our next visit!

This establishment is an excellent place to acquire the best fish and chips in western Canada. The portion sizes are adequate and the seasoning on the lingcod and cod meals is sufficient. I will return once again to this fine location to try the market section goods. Thank you.

This might be top 3 fish and chips I have ever had real talk. The tartar sauce is also extremely powerful, but maybe I'm just a huge dill enjoyer

I had an amazing experience at The Fish Counter on Main St! The Salmonito I tried was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned with a crispy exterior and tender fish inside. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was cozy, making it the perfect spot for a casual yet fabulous meal. I highly recommend it to anyone craving fresh, high-quality seafood!

The atmosphere is quiet, with the right lighting. The food is delicious! I had a two pieces cod fish and chips that was enough for two people. There is also the cabbage salad that matched perfectly with the fried and the sauce also was delicious! I almost forgot, we also tried our first fried oyster and I really enjoyed it! 😃

I've returned to eat more and WOW this cook really knows how to cook each dish. The Scallops are deep fried and so scrumptiously Yummy. The Fish is so Fresh and the Person cooking was there both times and his consistency is impressive. The staff that was there caught my bottle cap. I used my Bic Lighter to open a pop and the Cap flew off. As I looked around to pick it up I noticed the worker who was six feet away Caught the cap I'm miss air. It was so cool. This Place knows exactly what Us hungry people want. Quality clean effective knowledgeable friendly polite I could go on and on. I'm close enough that I won't go anywhere else but my new neighborhood Fish& Chips restaurant. Well worth the catch... Food was so tasty and we'll cooked. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal . Staff are friendly and efficient... Great atmosphere quickl eats and lots of Foodie-finds.. .
