The Fish Counter Edgemont (North Vancouver)

We had the pleasure of trying this new restaurant a few nights ago. I am coeliac and my kids are gluten intolerant. We placed an order for one piece, fish and chips to go. We of course, opted for the gluten-free, battered fish, and I was shocked to notice there wasn’t an added fee for gluten-free. I’m not sure if it was the manager or a staff member, but When I noted there wasn’t an extra fee, they looked at me and said you didn’t choose to be celiac. I honestly was blown away and instantly loved the place. As a celiac, I’m used to paying extra for gluten-free items so this was a nice surprise. They also exclaimed they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, so the gluten-free fish and chips are coeliac safe. This time around, I only ordered for my two kids. They split a one piece fish and chips. They said it was the best they’ve ever had and the tartar sauce was amazing! I did taste the crust of the fish and honestly, I thought it was perfectly crispy and flavourful! I do want to add, when we arrived to pick up our order the, who I’m guessing was the manager at the time, hand delivered our order outside to us as I had my children and my dog. All around an amazing experience and will absolutely be back! I do have a side note because everything was so delicious. I am wondering if I can convince the chef or managers to add a deep fried tofu option for plant based eaters! I realize it is a seafood restaurant, but if there was, They would have coeliac plant based eaters flocking from afar!

We ordered the two piece halibut and chips. Very good value for halibut, which has either disappeared from fish and chip menus or is 50% more than cod. My celiac partner was beyond happy with the batter; the batter to fish ratio is decadent. So much halibut for the money. Also, they have malt vinegar. Old school!

I'm celiac and felt so happy and comfortable with how knowledgeable the staff is for their fully gluten free and delicious fish and chips!! The fries are always gluten free, as is the tartar sauce, but the fish was definitely the star for me. I will definitely be back for more fish and chips soon!
