Dine Out Vancouver’s Fish Shack

Dine Out at Fish Shack Glowbal GroupDine Out Vancouver is on and Glowbal Group has a variety of choices and price points.  We got an early start on the food festival at Fish Shack, an awesome deal at $18.  They didn’t yet have the donuts, but the salmon cakes where very good with a nice dense texture and a lift from the spicy coleslaw.  The Manhattan Chowder was more like a boulabaisse full of tomato flavour and served over rice with a tasty sausage atop.  I’d go for this over the fish n chips as the actual fish was tad greasy, but I’ve had them here when the fish has been lighter and thoroughly enjoyed both so it may have just been a glitch.  The chowder is healthier though for certain and something that isn’t always on the menu.  Prawns were tender and a sprinkling of herbs lifted the dish.

We started with the oysters and also checked out a few of our neighbours’ dishes and will be back for the crab for certain.  Hard not to love this place with it’s casual atmosphere and eclectic crowd.  This isn’t a hipster hang out, but instead one with a variety of ages, walks of life and manner of dress.  Refreshing change.
