    We had already tried to go to a different seafood restaurant elsewhere in North Vancouver but we didn't have a reservation and the restaurant was too busy to take us, so we decided to try our luck at The Fish Counter. When we arrived at The Fish Counter, it was around 6:20pm and there was a sign in the window which said that the restaurant would be closing at 7pm for a private event. I asked whether they could still take us if we made sure to have a quick dinner and they said they could. We ordered the following: New England Clam Chowder Handmade Crab Cake 1 Piece Ocean Wise Halibut Fish & Chips Oyster Po'Boy. The food was all very tasty. My one complaint though would be that there didn't seem to be any clams in my clam chowder. It was a very tasty soup. They put lots and lots of fish in it. I enjoyed the soup but it was really more of a fish chowder rather than a clam chowder. If it weren't for the soup I'd be giving this place 5 stars. The guy who seated us was very kind and gave us 10% off our bill just because our meal was quite rushed since they were closing unusually early for the 7pm private event. We very much appreciated this gesture, and the food was all very tasty. Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again sometime.

    This review is way overdue. Today's 100+ degree weather in SoCal is making me wish I had an ice cold glass of the gluten free beer I enjoyed at The Fish Counter this past April. The tropical draft brew our server recommended, complemented the equally delicious gluten free fish and chips I enjoyed. The generous piece of cod was fresh, well-seasoned and perfectly crispy on the outside. The chips were good too. My husband had the regular Fish & chips plus a cup of clam chowder and he too loved his meal. The restaurant is a cute, unpretentious eatery with friendly service. Will certainly return to The Fish Counter next time I'm in Vancouver. Wish I could remember the name of that tropical gluten free beer!

    The menu was sparse and the fish and chips had funny after taste - cooked in old oil. We were not impressed.

    Brilliant service along with awesome fish and chips. Cod and halibut (and likely salmon and snapper) perfectly cooked in a crispy batter.

Once my order was completed I found a seat and started to eat. The seating area is limited and if various options, a couple tables here and there and a counter by the window. The fish was crispy and nicely battered and chips were decent. Fish size was again decent i wouldn't say the largest nor small but regular in size to decent fish and chip places. Overall nice, I think strong decent fish and chip place but imo overhyped. It's not bad but nothing mind

I ordered an Oyster Po Boy, fries and a drink which came to total of $27.10. It was messy to eat Po Boy, but that wasn't an issue. Baguette was so crunchy on the outside it was perfect! There was some arugula, kimchi and 3 pcs of oysters in it. I also ordered fries it was huge! Fries were bit salty and overcooked I tossed it out in the end. I left my water and soda to drink them later after heading to washroom. Staff cleared my water and soda away. I still had half of soda in it. I felt thirsty after eating my food in the end. It'd have been nice if she asked me first before clearing dishes. I don't think I'll go back.

Be prepared to wait, and wait you will. Especially if it's a sunny day. 30 min to order your food, and then another 20-30 min to get it, depending on how busy they are. Outdoor seating only with a bunch of benches and a few tables. I already knew I was going to do take away, so I didn't need to jostle for a seat. Almost everyone else had to do the jostleing. Two piece cod and a salmon tacone. The cod was overcooked. The tacone was good. Fries were crispy and unevenly fried. Meaning some pieces were burnt a little. Still acceptable tho. Hence the 3 ***'s It was decent, but it didn't wow me. Maybe it was an off order day. I like my fish. You can smell the ocean near the pier. Makes me feel I'm surrounded by fish and everything fishy.
