Summer is here, and that means we are taking any excuse possible to head out into Vancouver and chow down on some crispy fish and chips.

Being located right by the water, Vancouver is home to plenty of restaurants serving the iconic dish. But with so many places to choose from, how can you decide where to go?

That’s why we asked our readers where they go for their favourite fish and chips, and we got plenty of answers. We condensed the list to feature only spots in Vancouver proper, so beloved restaurants like Pajo’s in Richmond and Moby Dick’s in White Rock won’t be included (both of which are definitely worth a visit the next time you’re in the area).

Keep on reading to see which Vancouver restaurants serve the best fish and chips in the city, according to our readers.

A post shared by Jack’s Fish & Chips (@jackschowder)

Formerly Jack’s Chowder, Jack’s Fish and Chips has recently rebranded around their all-star product: fish and chips. Here, the team uses cold, non-alcoholic beer alongside soaking the fish in buttermilk. This results in a super flaky, super tender, and just really delicious fish that’s served with a side of its signature salt and vinegar fries.

Address: 5772 Fraser St., Vancouver

Address: 1055 Dunsmuir St. Unit 407B, Vancouver

The Sandbar

Another go-to spot for fish and chips on Granville Island, The Sandbar will always leave you wanting to come back for more food and another glimpse of the view (who doesn’t love an outside patio overlooking the water).

Address: 1535 Johnston St., Vancouver

This counter-service spot is serving a selection of standout lobster rolls, fried chicken, and, of course, fish and chips made with local seafood. It serves what it calls “pretty fast food,” and we couldn’t agree more.

Address: 1691 Johnston St., Vancouver

Barnacle by Bar Bravo

Bar Bravo knows how to serve up some kick-ass seafood, and its latest Time Out Market Vancouver concept, Barnacle, is no exception. The fish and chips here are made with Nova Scotia haddock and served in a light and crispy beer batter.

Address: 650 W. 41st Ave., Vancouver

Cardero’s

Waterfront views, sunny patio, and great fish and chips, what more could you ask for? At Cardero’s, you can find all three.

Address: 1583 Coal Harbour Quay, Vancouver

Cockney Kings

There’s no denying that Cockney Kings is one of the top spots in Vancouver, given that it’s been operating since 1965. It specializes in classic, English-style fish and chips and also has locations in New Westminster and Burnaby.

Address: 1935 Cornwall Ave., Vancouver

Address: 4360 Main St., Vancouver

Address: 130 – 66 10th St., New Westminster

Address: 6574 Hastings St., Vancouver

Rumble Fish

One of the newer kids on the block, Rumble Fish started as a food truck in Squamish before co-owner Tyson Reimer opened the brick-and-mortar in Vancouver. Here, the team makes some of the crispiest fish and chips, alongside fresh fries and house-made tartar sauce.

Address: 2296 E. Hastings St., Vancouver

The Fish Counter

This Vancouver staple is both a seafood market – with some of the freshest, most responsibly sourced stuff in the city – and a fish and chips counter. Its typical offerings include halibut, Pacific cod, lingcod, and wild salmon – all of which can be made gluten-free.

Address: 3825 Main St., Vancouver

The Vancouver Fish Company

Granville Island is basically fish and chip central, and The Vancouver Fish Company is further proof of that with its fresh, local fish served.

Hit up Provence Marinaside on Wednesdays during lunch to enjoy its seasonal fish and chips, complete with house-made tartar sauce and fresh lemon.

What’s better than eating fish and chips? Enjoying the fresh, salty air as you chow down, of course. Go Fish is located right on the water and serves up the freshest fish possible.

While you may be skeptical of the fish and chips at a Chinese noodle restaurant, these are definitely worth trying. Noople House opened at the former home of Sea House Restaurant, and has kept the same fish and chip recipe.

Address: 3003 Kingsway #7, Vancouver

With “chicken” in its name, fish might not be the first thing you think of when visiting IFghter Chicken. However, one of our followers assured us that the fish tenders are well worth trying and are cooked to order.

Address: 8631 Granville St., Vancouver
