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

It was a dry Sunday so the benches were out on the sidewalk. We had a craving for fish and chips and an oyster Po’boy. The fries were crisp. The fish batter perfect. The oysters were fresh and the kimchi elevated the sandwich. The cole slaw was light on sauce and to me just right. Overall a great lunch outing!

Went back after 9 years since our first date. The batter on the fish was pretty good, but the fish itself had no flavor. Compared to before, there’s now more seating available. The restaurant is very casual and laid-back, and you pretty much help yourself with everything.

My son and I walked by and we were caught by the place’s casual vibe in a sunny day. Had snapper fish and chips and BC bouillabaisse soup. The soup was absolutely amazing. Fish and chips were delicious with the sauce. Will love to come again in the future.

My fiancé and I got the cod n chips, wow it was so fresh and crispy. Such generous tartar sauce was enough for the both us! Next time, would like to try more food on their menu 😊 Highly recommend for anyone who is craving for fish n chips.

We had the 2 piece cod and chips, added a piece of snapper. Fish was fried well, fresh and juicy. Fries could be improved on, the pieces are tiny end cuts, and not our preferred style for fries. Fish was a little oily, and when they put the fish on top of the plastic container,the hot oil melted the container. Service could be improved, we asked to ‘add’ on a piece of snapper, but they charged us a meal. They resolved the mix up for us but this could have been prevented.

Excellent fish and chips! The service is quick and the fish is fresh. I would definitely recommend this place for a good lunch or dinner option on Main St. As someone with Celiac's I always like to visit here when I'm in the neighborhood since I know they take allergy accommodation seriously (they even have a separate fryer for gluten free options). I have tried their gluten free battered salmon and halibut and they were both very good.

Really fresh and tasty fish and chips. The battered halibut was the perfect amount of light/fluffy inside and hot/crispy outside. The taco was a good size for the price, and the sandwich was well put together (fresh ingredients, tasty sauces).
