FISH ’N CHIPS
THE FISH COUNTER
Fish ’n Chips may have originated in Britain, but Vancouver has its
own style of them. First off, we don’t serve them with mushy peas,
which look the same coming out as they do going in. Not entirely
true because nothing is created equal; but the traditional mushy peas
made with Marrowfat peas - green mature peas that have dried out
naturally in the field, aka rotten, old and abandoned starchy peas can stay in the UK.
The Fish Counter is Vancouver at heart, and its fish ’n chips are one
of my favourites in the city. Theirs is 100% sustainable, high-quality
fish served alongside freshly cut Kennebec fries, fresh and lightly
dressed crunchy slaw, and homemade tartar sauce. The Fish Counter
also houses one of the only gluten-free deep fryers in the city. The
Nextjen gluten-free fish 'n chip batter is actually lighter and crispier
than the regular.
Don’t forget to order the smoked sablefish from the takeout retail
counter on your way out, too!
