This was going to be a true test of the Fish & Chips quality here in Metro Vancouver…read more I had family visiting from the UK - the birthplace of fish & chips. I have Pajo's maybe once every couple of years, & so having visitors that were craving fish & chips - I recommended Pajo's. Located in the popular tourist area of Steveston Village in Richmond, Pajo's has been a pioneer of Fish & Chips in Metro Vancouver since 1985. There is even a location at the YVR Vancouver Airport in the food court near the photogenic - Jade Canoe. Get your fish & chips there before your flight takes off. Pajo's in Steveston Village is located right on the water - a floating restaurant. Seating is outdoors under patio umbrellas. Watch out for those pesky seagulls & crows. We tried the Wild Snapper & Wild Cod as well as the Fish Tacos. We added a bit of vinegar to the chips & voila - excellent. The fish are not too heavily battered, not too oily & tasted fresh. It's that crispy golden looking batter that really excites anyone having Fish & Chips. For some reason they were out of Salmon which would have been nice to try. Regardless, our UK visitors gave Pajo's two thumbs up.

This place is an institution around here. I had fish and chips here as a kid decades ago and…read morethey're still around. Theyve become pricier and more touristy. The fish pieces are smaller than I remember. This time i got 2pc cod and chips. Service was pretty quick. Pricey, at around $24 but you get bottomless fries. The fish was moist, firm but flaky, and piping hot out of the fryer. Batter was a bit thick and greasy for my liking but at least it tasted fresh. Fries were fresh cut single-fried. Good when they're fresh and piping hot, but get soft and soggy really fast. Didnt taste too greasy though. Unsalted, which I like. You can always add salt yourself. The pricing is expensive but the bottomless fries make up for it a bit. There is ketchup, malt vinegar, hot sauce, and utensils on the side. Also a water fountain. If you go with say, a group of 3 and get a 3pc with bottomless fries, its not a bad deal. Just gets kind of greasy. Dont expect mushy peas or curry sauce/gravy or any other fixins like British fish and chips. food quality probably 3.5/5. Value if you take advantage of bottomless fries, 4/5. Its a nice place to hang out by the dock and have a quick bite, so accounting for the nice vibes, overall 4/5. Lots of free street parking in Steveston but you'll need to drive around hunting for an open spot during peak hours.

Even though I used to live in Vancouver, I never got the chance to visit this amazing part of…read moreRichmond. My niece and I parked the car a couple of blocks away and walked down towards the water. This quaint little "village", which is part of Richmond, was absolutely lovely, and when we came across Dave's, we had to go in. The place was busy (always a good sign) and we were seated towards the back of the restaurant where we had the place all to ourselves. Loved the nautical ambiance. Our server, Trixi, couldn't do enough for us, and she answered all our questions about the area and what to eat. We both ordered fish and chips, which came with crispy, sweet coleslaw, very tasty and hearty french fries (almost as good as Quebec's :-)). I had the halibut and my niece had the cod. Both were crispy on the outside and hot and delectable on the inside. Love having both white and malt vinegar on the table with the salt & pepper, just how it should be in Canada. To top it off Trixi suggested trying their "Growers" cider (made in BC) so we both ordered Juicy Bartlett Pear. Soooooo good. I will definitely be back when I return, sooner rather than later.

I recently visited this fish and chip restaurant and found the food to be generally okay--simple,…read morefamiliar, and reasonably prepared. Unfortunately, the overall experience was overshadowed by some concerning practices around cleanliness and food safety. While we were eating, a man began sweeping the floor within about ten feet of our table. At the time, I assumed he was a staff member doing routine cleaning, so I politely asked if he could pause until we finished our meal. His reaction was odd and difficult to understand, and it wasn't until later--when the wait staff told us he was actually the owner--that the situation felt even more surprising. The server added that he was "the boss" and entitled to do what he wanted, which left us feeling dismissed rather than acknowledged. I eat out frequently--several times a week--and I honestly cannot remember a single restaurant in the past twenty years where someone swept the floor right next to us during a meal. Cleanliness is important, but doing it so close to customers who are actively eating is uncomfortable and raises questions about how seriously basic food safety standards are taken. If front‑of‑house hygiene is handled this casually, it's hard not to wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen and food‑preparation areas. This incident bothered me for two days afterward, and I finally decided to write this review because the experience felt so out of the ordinary. The food itself was fine, but the service and the owner's behavior made the visit less pleasant and left me with lingering concerns about the restaurant's overall standards.

Bill was just over $36.00 and we went home with leftovers. Lots of food for two. Halibut was very meaty, not that much batter and not greasy. Fries were good. Only letdown was the tartar sauce, tasted just like mayo and no lemon. Service was pleasant, restaurant was clean.

Is this a restaurant? The cashier rushed over to me and asked my name on the order. As soon as I paid the music started again. When I got home: This is atrocious to call this place fish and chips. For $10.99, I received 4 undersized torpedo shrimp, oops, I mean prawns. It looks like something from Long John Silver. If this place is a true British fish and chips place, they failed to actually give me an extra piece. My one piece of fish is soggy and mushy. The chips are soggy as well. Just go out of business already.

LOL the batter was quite odd and NOT flaky. it was sort of doughy/chewy, when it really should be light, airy, and crunchy... it came with a side of tartar sauce but it was quite lackluster as well. i think their google reviews are definitely inflated because of their raffle they do for 5 star reviews. you get entered into their raffle for a $200 giftcard if you leave a 5 star review, so.. yeah :/ go eat somewhere else in the airport while you're waiting!!

Moby Dick's is obviously a busy place in the summer, being right across from the waterfront -- but…read morein January, it's a sleepy area and the restaurant is active, but not too busy. We found the food unremarkable - standard fish, standard chips, standard coleslaw, standard tartar sauce. All fried food is pretty standard, pretty greasy, but not any better or worse than many fish & chips shops. So why a 3-star rating rather than 4-stars? First, there is there menu and pricing: What is called a 1-piece fish & chips comes with 2 pieces - all identified fish comes with one extra piece. It's a gimmick, and mostly just annoying. 2nd, there is a charge for everything -- Want tartar sauce? There are three sizes, three prices. Want to substitute onion rings for the fries? Can't do it, even with an up-charge, though you can order fish and you can order onion rings, each separately, each with its own price. Coleslaw? Yes, but not instead of fries. And the coleslaw is pricey - a good sized portion, but a substantial price none-the-less. The portion sizes are reasonably large, but the incessant a-la-carte with each item with a price - one feels nickled and dimed to death. The atmosphere - ok, 1950s-ish, nothing special. The staff, friendly and attentive, but young and inexperienced. And then there was the problem with the cooking -- we got 5 pieces of fish (ordered 2 and 1, which is really 2+1 and 1+1 = 5). Four of them were pretty standard. One was undercooked - cooked on the outer edges (under the fried batter), and raw and translucent on the inside. Yes, they took that off the ticket, so I didn't have to pay for it, but biting into a piece of raw fish with the outside so hot it almost burned my mouth and the inside uncooked - not so pleasant. Moby Dick's gets good ratings from many Yelpers, but in my view, it's not worth going out of your way for.
