From the fisherman's ship to the Granville Street strip - here, the seafood is as fresh as the crowd. So roll up your sleeves, tie on a bib, grab a mallet and dig in - The Fish Shack has arrived.
It might not be on the water, but the crispy calamari, steaming pots of mussels and classic battered fish and chips keep seafood lovers coming back to this Granville Street eatery. The Fish Shack’s menu is well priced and the fresh oyster selection is top-notch. Stop in during happy hour to enjoy cheap sips and eats – including buck-a-shuck oysters.
The entertainment district’s resident fish stop is an ideal place to grab a sandwich while watching the game (there are numerous big screen TVs throughout the restaurant) or if you’re in need of substance before heading to a performance at the Orpheum or the Commodore. Favourites include a juicy seafood melt with crab, prawns, B.C. fish, and cheddar on toasted sourdough; and the signature surf burger with salmon, crab, double-smoked bacon and tartar sauce. Yum!
Take a seat at the long red banquette under the gloriously high ceilings and dig into one of the many dishes on offer at The Fish Shack. There's the traditional Atlantic lobster accompanied by Cajun fries, or try the fortifying cioppino in a lobster broth. With nine televisions and a projector, this Granville Street restaurant and bar is a good place to come and catch the game. On Sundays, stop in for reduced prices on lobster and crab dishes.
