Reviews


As of current, you have 4119 evaluations from 12 website(s) at your disposal. The midpoint review for Fish Counter is 4.5, denoting that this restaurant is incredibly well regarded by its guests. The Fish Counter, a local spot in Vancouver, was once a long-time favorite but has recently taken a turn for the worse. Customers have reported issues with the service, including rude and sneering staff members, as well as inconsistencies with food preparation and missing ingredients. Despite the decline in quality, the restaurant still offers gluten-free options, with separate fryers for safe preparation. Customers with Celiac disease have praised the establishment for their knowledge of allergens and the availability of safely gluten-free meals. While some patrons have had positive experiences in terms of food quality and portion sizes, others have been disappointed by the lackluster offerings. Overall, it seems that the Fish Counter may no longer deliver a unique and outstanding dining experience as it once did.

The cod and halibut fish and chips were excellent! Be aware that seating is limited, but the food was served hot and fast, and the service was very friendly!

I had an Oyster Po Boy sandwich. It was a good portion and delicious. The coleslaw salad that came with it was super tasty!

Extremely expensive fish and the quality and selection is poor. Almost any other shop or market have the same exact products for half the price.
