What to Order
Halibut Fish and Chips
A standout version of the classic, featuring fresh halibut in a light, crispy batter, served with perfectly cooked fries and a unique coleslaw.
"The helibut fish and chips were excellent, thin crispy batter not over cooked. Fish was fresh, firm, moist and tasty. Chips were of good thickness so was crispy outside and tender insider."
Frank Leung
Cod Fish and Chips
Another excellent fish and chips option, featuring flaky cod with a light, non-greasy batter and well-prepared fries.
"I had one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever tried at GoFish. We ordered both cod and halibut, and each was excellent in its own way. The batter was light, crisp, and golden—just enough to add texture without overpowering the fish."
Mania Gharani
Oyster Po Boy
A unique and highly praised sandwich featuring large, grilled oysters, chipotle mayo, and caramelized onions on a bun.
"Mine and the groups favourite was the oyster po boy. I have to get it every single time and there’s no other place I’ve been to that has anything like it."

Curry Chowder (Soup of the Day)
A flavorful and comforting seafood soup with a distinct curry base, often praised for its rich taste and generous chunks of seafood.
"Must try Soup of the day! Highly recommended! I got this red curry chowder on the day I visited, chunks of seafoods inside and the soup is so flavorful, super delicious. I bet they are proud of their soup too."
Sinyee Loke
Coleslaw
A surprising standout side dish, this coleslaw features a unique sesame-Asian inspired dressing that offers a refreshing contrast to the fried fish.
"the sleeper hit though - was the coleslaw. i’m not a huge coleslaw person, but this one complimented the fish perfectly. instead of the traditional creamy dressing, this one had more of a sesame-asian inspired dressing which added a nice freshness with each bite."
Emmalyne Tran
Fish Tacos (especially Tuna)
An explosion of flavor, particularly the tuna option, offering a delicious alternative to the classic fish and chips.
"Mon coup de cœur, les tacones de poisson. Une explosion de saveur, particulièrement celui au thon, que j’ai préféré au saumon. Je le recommande, plus encore que le fish and chips."
