      Go fish is a great place to go to get your fish and chips fix in Granville Island - very friendly service, not the best fish n chips I've tried but very delicious nonetheless. I just visited Red Fish Blue Fish in Victoria a couple days before coming here so my review might be a little biased (Red Fish Blue Fish ruined it for me. The two were very similar but Red Fish Blue Fish had the best fish and chips I've ever had). I had really high expectations coming in and I couldn't help comparing the two.

      Service was pretty good. The crew at Go Fish are a silly bunch and they looked like they were enjoying themselves. You'll definitely have a fun time eating here. All of them were singing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody while calling customer orders and it was hilarious!

      We ordered three servings of the deep fried Cod and chips and it was amazing. Very fresh and melt in your mouth like always, though the slices were thinner than I would like. The fries were nothing that special but guaranteed to fill you up - crispy and tender on the inside but not seasoned well and kind of basic IMO. Coleslaw was more on the peppery and savory side, and I wasn't as into that because I usually like mine creamy and sweet. One of the highlights of our order was the spicy tuna tacones, which tasted very interesting (in a good way). These bad boys had a Japanese flair to it, from the nori, ponzu sauce and other Japanese spices. They can get pretty messy though so be sure to grab a couple more napkins.

      Overall, Go fish hits the spot on a sunny day by the pier. It's really hard not to like fish n chips when they're made so damn fresh with very good ingredients!

      A summer time classic in Vancouver. It is definitely worth a try if you haven't been. Located right by the water, you're blessed with a view while enjoying your meal.

      The fish is super fresh and it is good quality fish n chips. The coleslaw is also surprisingly delicious.

      When we went, they did last call around 6:30pm. So if you're planning to go, arrive a half hour before closing time.

      2 Piece cod with chips.

      a friend said this was "the best fish and chips" in Vancouver so of course I had to go!! Its a small hut, literally, with a walk up to order, and then a window on the side where you pick up the food and can see the team hard at work. it seems like a really fun, family-run kinda place.
      we got there at peak lunch time on a Saturday and the line was pretty crazy. we were lucky enough to grab a seat. there are very few tables and a few high top chairs.
      we got the cod fish and chips, salmon fish and chips, and the fish of the day - salmon plate. i personally preferred the salmon fish and chips over the cod. everything was fresh and piping hot. the king salmon had more of a white flesh than the typical orange, the owner assured a patron that it was the best and it sure tasted like it!
      parking was pretty easy, but I could see it being difficult during busy times.

      I love fish n chips so I was really excited to try this spot! It's super cute and quaint, a bit tucked away along the seawall. Service is friendly and atmosphere is chill. I loved sitting by the water and enjoying the scenic views of false creek and Granville island.

      My friend and I both got the 1 piece cod + chips. Very well priced ($15.75) considering the portion size. I ate my entire plate and felt full and content. I do wish it came with a bit more coleslaw, but overall a solid 9/10 meal.

      My friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Compared to the prices on Granville Island, the fish and chips here are such a steal. The service was quick and friendly. The till had everything that you would need and more to eat anything on the menu. There's no indoor space to eat but nice to eat by the water when it's sunny out.
      I'm not the biggest fan of fries but they were very light and airy so I ended up finishing my whole portion. The batter on the fish is also airy and crispy. The fish was perfectly cooked. The slaw sauce is untraditional but still good. Highly recommend!

      Char-Grilled Wild Pacific Salmon Sandwich

      Oooo very delicious! There was a subtle smokey flavour that I liked about this. I liked how the salmon wasn't dry at all and the flavouring was nice too. My favourite part was kind of the bun though haha, I loved the texture and flavour of it and the way it was grilled made it even better. This also somehow didn't feel oily but I think sauce wise I might have enjoyed it if it had more sauce. I also wouldn't mind if they put some more of those pickles cucumbers on it

      Not relevant at all but I have no idea why I thought it was be like sashimi lmao! Anyways, the day I went their card machine broke down and it was cash only Make sure you carry cash just in case! I heard from others that there's usually a long line but maybe because it was cash only, there was no line when I went.

      Very good fish with lots of chips! It's worth the wait. If you need to save money, order the 2 piece Cod and share. Plenty of fish and fries for 2 people. Great scenic spot too.

      I had to ask a local for the "fish place" location and he was impressed that I knew about it. He showed me and I was on my way like a shot.
      There were many choices but I stayed the course and had their popular fish and chips. I chose the cod, it was not greasy but meaty and the crispy batter took to the malt vinegar well. The chips were very tasty and plentiful.
      This is a fish shack on the far side of a parking lot with a patio. There are 5-6 people inside the kitchen and they love to banter with each other. It is a great vibe.
      My wife had the grilled salmon sandwich and loved it.

      Fish and chips spot on Fisherman's Wharf. Order the halibut! We got 2 pieces of halibut with 1 order of chips ($28) and a Coke zero. The order comes with a little serving of coleslaw and a small container of tartar sauce. If you want more tartar sauce, you have to purchase more for $1.

      There's a small parking area if you're driving. We walked over from Kitsalano/4th street area and then continued on to Granville Island after eating. Definitely recommend this shop! Just FYI, the Tap&Barrel Bridges also has fish and chips, and the halibut will cost about $33-34.

      Halibut x 2, chips x1

      Very very comparable to the famous one in Las Vegas owned by the Chef Gordon Ramsay.

      The breading here isn't as crispy but honestly the fish here is much much much better. There is outdoor seating and plenty of parking.

      Service was pretty fast and you get a view of the entire boating dock and Granville island.
