    Whenever I go home, the first meal I always want is from the local chipper :pac: I love my fish and chips.

    So for the folk in Vancouver, anyone got a recommendation for some decent fish and chips here?
    Trolls in Horseshoe Bay and Pajo's down in Steveston are both pretty tasty, but also kind of far away. Looking for some place a bit closer.

    Thanks:)

    Go Fish in False Creek/Granville Island is hard to beat.

    C lovers on Denman is the only place I've been for fish and chips and it's ok…. it's all you can eat for $11 or something.

    BBQ'ed a whole side of wild sockeye tonight. Doesn't get much better than that. Maybe dont spark up the bbq after a skinfull though.

    There's a C Lovers in North Van as well. Never had it though.

    It's probably just me, but whenever I cook sockeye it's always really dry. I've tried grilling, steaming, frying and baking and everytime it turns out the same. Never had the same problems when cooking the atlantic salmon at home, although being that it is mostly farmed I know that the sockeye should taste much better...I don't know what am i doing wrong:confused:

    If you're buying from the supermarkets they're previously frozen. Try and get fresh from a fishmonger. 7 Seas in North Van or on West 4th are very good. We pop in bag with soy, garlic and honey. Let marinade for a while and then in a fish cage and on the bbq. No more than 10 mins. 6 mins skin down turn 4 flesh down.
