Go Fish

Gord Martin closed shop at Bin 942 and replaced the spot with a second location of the hyper-popular Go Fish (the first is down at the fishing docks at Granville Island).  The room is breezy and oceanic, with comfortable booths, seats bar-side and a bright blue tables scattered around the cozy room.

The menu supports local fishermen and is 100% oceanwise, and much more than just the delicious fish and chips that most head down for. Legendary fish tacos, scallop ceviche with just the right amount of spice and a shot of fresh mint lime foam, mussels in a drunken tequila sauce so tasty I had to tip the bowl and drink it, and if you are in luck, Chef Martin might be in the house and head off-menu and cook up something like the crab fingers we sampled – flavorful cornmeal crusted bites with a curried mangosteen sauce.

The booze list is geared towards seafood with some great local picks, red truck beers, and ketel one vodka for those on a high octane program and for their Mexican Caesars.

Great service from the enthusiastic staff and pleasant noises from the kitchen as Chef Rob and Matt have some friendly bantering over the the grill.

This is bound to be packed in no time, so go now or be prepared to line up like you have to at the other location.  However, know that it will be worth it.
