60-year-old fish and chip restaurant to open new Vancouver location
Cockney Kings Fish and Chips has been a staple in Metro Vancouver ever since it opened its first location nearly 60 years ago. Now, the restaurant is gearing up to open another location in Vancouver.
The fish and chip restaurant broke the news on Instagram earlier this month, inviting those who would be attending Car Free Day on Main Street to learn more about the new location.
“Help us celebrate the upcoming opening of our soon-to-be NEW location at 4360 Main St.!” wrote the restaurant.

Founded in 1965 in Burnaby by Len and Joan Evans, Cockney King’s is one of the most popular fish and chip spots in Metro Vancouver, joining the likes of The Fish Counter and Sea House Fish and Chips (which has since closed, but the new restaurant taking its place still serves the same fish recipe).
Cockney Kings still operates a location in Burnaby, at 6574 Hastings St., as well as one in New Westminster and a takeout-focused spot in Kitsilano.
Currently, its Kitsilano location does not offer its all-you-can-eat fish and chips due to its limited seating, so fingers crossed this new Main Street location will offer the popular deal.

Aside from fish and chips, you can find oysters, Louisiana shrimp, fish burgers, calamari, and many more seafood delicacies on the menu.
Cockney Kings Main Street will be opening at the former home of Likha Local Collective, which closed its doors near the end of last year. An opening date for the new Cockney Kings has yet to be announced.
