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.<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s 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\u2019s in Richmond and Moby Dick\u2019s in White Rock won\u2019t be included (both of which are definitely worth a visit the next time you\u2019re in the area).<\/p>\n
Keep on reading to see which Vancouver restaurants serve the best fish and chips in the city, according to our readers.<\/p>\n
