As an early adopter and influencer of the sustainable seafood movement, Chef Robert Clark has brought his passion and skill to The Fish Counter. He co-founded this grocer/casual cafe with marine biologist and former Ocean Wise manager at the Vancouver Aquarium, Mike McDermid. It's safe to say that these guys know their stuff.
The Fish Counter is the best of many worlds. Grab super-fresh seafood to take home and prepare yourself, pick-up some ready-made soups and salads to tuck into, or sit down on one of the wooden benches and enjoy a piping hot fish taco. Either way, your stomach will thank you.

Vancouver Local Expert
- Seafood: "The weekend lunch rush can get pretty busy. Seating is limited, but people are pretty good about leaving when they're finished to make room for someone else."
- Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus, Take Out: "The weekend lunch rush can get pretty busy so go during off-peak hours."
- Best for Seafood Because: While the fish and chips are excellent, The Fish Counter's version of a fish taco, the salmonito is a must. They're simple but flavorful.
- Best for Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus Because: The Fish Counter uses gluten-free batter and has one of the only gluten-free deep fryers in the city.
- Best for Take Out Because: For something hot, make sure to order The Fish Counter's Salmonito. It's loaded with salmon, marinated cabbage, onion, lime, cilantro and chipotle mayo.
