GOLDFISH VS. SABLEFISH

Apparently, our guests really like our sablefish.  Really, really like it.  A recent poll showed an overwhelming number of you ranking it as your favourite item on our menu!

Giving guests what they want seems to be good for business, so we present the Ocean Wise™ Hoisin Sake Glazed Sablefish with caramelized onion & black bean tapanade and coconut jus.

Check out all of our menus here.

THANK YOU

The best thing about working at Goldfish? You.

Sure, we try to provide an environment of personal growth and fulfillment.  Excellent management training and support.  Commitment to HR best practices.

But we’re certain a big part of our making it into the Top 5 Best Places To Work (Hospitality, Travel and Consumer Services) in the recent BC Business Best Companies to Work For in BC annual ranking was the company we keep.

So, thanks for being great people to serve!

Thanks for reading. E you next year!
