Every time I've gone there I've either gotten sick or the grease got me.

I live close to Pajo's in Steveston, so I've had it quite a few times. I don't find it that great. The batter is kinda soggy.

Cockney Kings Fish n Chips is our go to place in new west. We love it!

i like pajos, i go there with dad and sister a lot during summer when im still in vancouver

we go for lunch and then walk down to buy fish at the stevestons fisher ale

^times changed

Just had the Halibut and Oyster Po Boy @ The Fish Counter on Main street....

blows pajos out of the water, not really close imo

I been to pajos like 10+ times and I give it a 7/10 , Fish Counter is like 9.5/10 , only place comparable is Joe Fortes.


The Oyster Po Boy Sandwich which has Kimch inside is fucking huge for $9.00..... so cheap! Worth every penny!


Super friendly staff!!! Had a chat with the employees (probably the owner since he was ordering the other guy what to do) and music is old school and retro which I liked. I had a showing around the back as well and was super chill.



Cockneys is terrible, even the all you can eat isn't worth it.... batter is soggy, sauce is normal , 5/10


The Halibut at Fish Counter was really crispy and has the best batter I have seen in my life.... the tartar sauce isn't normal tartar sauce. It isn't fat and thick which I love! The fries are meh imo but it does come with cabbage and kale salad in every order. Drinks are unique as well, apple spritzer and some bottle cola's / white tea cold etc.





Thanks revscene for recommending this, I now recommend everyone to try it out and get the Halibut :) . 1 piece + Po Boy made me filled up the whole night. Finished two order of fries myself so my 6pack hates me <3 ..... I had to do 30minutes cardio everyday to burn this now haha

Almost had Moby Dicks last night as a result of this thread... deep fried goodness :megusta:

Try the ling cod next time. No other fish and chip place have it. Great, now this thread makes me want to go there too...

Had the ling cod at Westward Ho at the university of british columbia golf club a couple days ago lol

Yes, I am addicted to drugs called fish and chips :ilied: 4Head

Damn, after this review, I gotta go to The Fish Counter today. It's close to where I live so I'll stop by after work.

:thumbsup:

DO NOT get two fries if you plan to get the oyster po boy and piece(s) of fish, it is a lot for one order

no chairs but benches around, sat beside the cooler and it wasn't cold, no cold air came out of the cooler beside the bench. Please post a review after

Dammit now I want fish and chips too WutFace

Taste-wise, I only find them OK. But I won't complain when I'm there for their Mon-Wed $10.95 AYCE deal. (I just hope my arteries will forgive me... :okay: )

Rajo's in Steveston..
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Is that the Indian version of Pajo's?

I've never tried the oyster po boy at Fish Counter, only the fish and chips. Damn, now I gotta walk over there this weekend and try it out!

Just like every AYCE joint, once you go that route your quality goes to shit status. Cockney is no different.

Goddamnit this thread convinced me to drag my ass from Richmond to Fish Counter. Tried arctic char this time. Reminds me of salmon. Better stick to ling cod

These pictures don't make it look very appetizing...

Looks like McDix chicken nuggets on a hot dog. :gtfo:

The pictures may not look it, but trust us -- the Fish Counter makes good stuff.

lol those pictures ARE COMPLETELY different than my halibut piece I had. I dont know why yours is circle and look like a mcnugget Wutface maybe cause it was artic char?? wth...

Mine was a long piece of halibut crispy as hell.... and your sandwich has no veggies / kimchi? is that even the oyster po boy?? maybe you had a bad angle / lighting, looked zoomed in....





mines looked like this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WXk_6A_djI...o%2527+Boy.jpg

why didnt you get the halibut? no one gets salmon for fish and chips , just doesnt work..... cod is good but its a bit hard still, stick to whats best

I actually prefer the flakiness of cod more.

...because I ordered arctic char, I'm not familiar with fishes enough to know it is similar to salmon. I'm usually adventurous so when there is something new I try it...

+1 cod
