A chatty spot popular with both locals and visitors, this small, blue-checkered-tablecloth joint serves great fish-and-chips (cod, salmon or halibut), along with generous dollops of housemade coleslaw and tartar sauce. The food is good value, and it's not just about fish-and-chips; the BBQ-sauced oyster burger is almost a local legend. Service is fast and friendly.
Those seafood fans not craving the deep-fried route will also find some good fresh alternatives, from hearty clam chowder to fresh-shucked oysters and pan-seared scallops. Appropriately, the beer selection includes Granville Island Brewing, which is just across the street. Reservations are not accepted so consider dining off-peak if you don't want to wait for a table.
