Pajo's two pieces halibut and chips
Kate O.

Pajo's continues to serve spectacular fish and chips! Visited with my granddaughter two days ago who declared the halibut and chips "Best thing I ever ate!" She was over the moon with the flavour, the crisp batter and the fresh (not frozen) chips. The line moved quickly and we were served in just a few minutes on a busy Saturday. Don't know how they do it! Generous portion of delicious, flaky halibut (the very best fish for fish and chips, in my opinion) in a gorgeous light, crisp batter, endless fries and home-made tartar sauce. Served fresh and hot, there's nothing like it. Plus, it was a glorious sunny day on Pajo's wharf at Steveston. Sun glistening on the sea and fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. "If I had to pick a last meal," said the granddaughter, "this would be it!" Thank you, Pajo's, you made our day at Steveston even better! Highly recommended 11/10!

Fish and chips were delicious. Breading is light and crispy. Fish was perfect. Fries are good.

Saw PAJOs after my 9 hour flight landed, had to eat it since I loved the other location. It was at 10am and the cashier was sitting there. I asked nicely if they were open and he sounds so impatient and rude "yeah u can see the menu ofc we r open". I ordered just cod and it came after a while, it didn't taste fresh, the batter literally couldn't stick to the fish. And the amount of tartar sauce was pathetic. Glad the other location is still good, but I wouldn't come to this location again

I am glad they open early here because I was pretty hungry! We ordered a medium size fish and chips. I believe the portion is smaller than the one at Steveston and priced around the same. The fish pieces are smaller. The batter is not crispy but at least the fish is not dry. It was definitely not meant to be shared. The fries are pretty good. It's not salty. Overall, you can't expect too much for airport food.

A relatively new addition to YVR airport, Pajo's Fish and Chips was initially a nice surprise. I was happy to see a fish and chips shop as one of the options at the food court since I thought BC's reputation for seafood would resonate with travellers. Unfortunately, the fish and chips however are definitely overpriced, the portion is super small and really does enforce the stereotype of expensive airport food. One tiny piece of halibut with fries will set you back $10. In a no-frills food court, I don't think people should expect much, but if i wanted to load up on french fries, I could easily go elsewhere. Overall, I would advise people to avoid and try something else that will fill you up and at least give you something that's worth your value. Greater Vancouver definitely does have good fish and chips, but you won't find them here.

They took away the Asian food I loved, but this place is great, too. Really good fish and all the chips you care to eat. Service was slower than expected, but only because they cooked the food fresh and didn't let it sit under heat lamps. Terrific tartar sauce, crispy filet perfectly cooked. Friendly service.

Cod burger is not worth the money at all. The "patty" is one short strip of fish. I included my finger in the photo for comparison. It might as well be a kid's meal.

I'm not really into deep fried greasy food but I was really hungry and decided to have fish taco and fries. It's a great meal deal $6 combo that includes your taco, fries and a drink. Fast service and the cashier up at the front is a great representative of customer service.

My sister and I visited Go Fish this past Sunday for lunch. It's been a number of years since my…read morelast visit so I was eagerly looking forward to having a fish & chip lunch on the wharf again. We both ordered the single piece salmon & chips along with a pair of cold beverages. When our orders were ready I was in great anticipation. Imagine my surprise to find all the chips underneath my salmon were hard, greasy and NOT FLUFFY inside their really crispy exterior!! I pawed through the entire dish and didn't find a single chip worthy of being the same as its British counterpart. The salmon was cooked kind-of dark but the fish was still moist thankfully. The coleslaw was tossed in an Asian dressing but the flavour did taste as bright and refreshing as I recalled. We were both so hungry that we ate most of our chips anyways. Big mistake. Little did we realize that this action would come back to haunt us later with indigestion that would last hours. We should have complained about the chips but we didn't because both of us had worked in a restaurant in our youth and know how orders that get sent back to the kitchen can get treated so we didn't want to chance it. Service at the order counter was efficient. We were only third and fourth in the line up when they opened up for service so it took quite a while for our orders to be ready. There were a number of tables available for patio dining on their deck. The ambiance was quietly expectant with regular diners waiting for their orders to go and to dine in the patio. The weather was great for a sunny Fall day that I couldn't enjoy it the way I had hoped to with gish & chips overlooking the water front. I couldn't get past my biitter disappointment with the chips because they are such an integral part of this traditional cuisine. It made me wresting whether the chips were the previous days chips refried again or the cook overcooked the chips from lack of care. Either way we have decided we won't be returning. Eating out has become much more expensive everywhere with inflation. Value for the money is not here for us. In past visits years ago my family and I would have rated this place 4.5/5 but that impression has disappeared. I can only rate it worthy of a 2/5 now. We can find better fish & chips from others elsewhere.

One of the OG restaurants (if not THE OG) in Horseshoe Bay. Been around since 1946…read more Parking is available behind the building, as well on the various village side streets. The building is definitely on the older side. Lots of wood trim. Reminds me of an old dock. The seating area is L shaped, and largely fits around the outer edge of the building (the restaurant is on a corner lot). Great view of the park and water. Staff are friendly and cheerful. As my friends and I were only here for a beer, I can't comment on the food. Pricing looked pretty reasonable, and I've heard good things about this place from friends. Guess I'm coming back at some point.

Look. It's just not my kinda place…read more I'm not gonna knock it. I know it's a family business and I know it's been there a million years, so I'm gonna try and be as nice as possible. But, still accurate. Ok..... The House Salad with Chicken. The Chicken was tasty. There was just not enough of it. Especially considering added chicken was $8. Not an Entree size and certainly not filling. The rest of the ingredients were so underwhelming. Barely any beats, a few tomatoes and just a heap of shredded carrots over a bed of greens. So very basic for an $18 salad without the chicken. The 2-piece Cod and Chips. The actual battered fish was nice. But....uhhmmm....I think either some of the fries must've fell off our plate on its way to our table, or someone helped themselves with our fries (see pic.) When a dish is called Fish n Chips. Guess what? The highlight is what? ..........The Fish AAANNNDD The Chips. There you go..... Ok. At this point I was ready to go. So, I went to the ladies room and that's where the horror started. It was beyond filthy. I'm talking about the floor, the toilet, the door....on and on.... Ran out. Settled the bill. Grabbed my Purse and left Trolls behind never to return. I do wish you the very best though.

I came for their Low Tide (happy hour) for some oysters and a beer. I sat at the bar and was…read moregreeted by an excellent bartender. The service is great here and the ambiance is kind of classy. I loved getting to watch the bartender shuck the oysters and grate some fresh horseradish on the plate. It was also really fun that they had a variety of sauces you could put on the oysters ranging from a mild mignonette vinegar and cocktail sauce to spicy hot sauces. The oysters that day were from Fanny Bay, so they were very plump and juicy! The addition of the fresh horseradish on the oysters added a really nice flavor with just a hint of the spicy kick you get from jarred horseradish. I also order the shrimp and lobster sliders, which were very tasty.

This was our first meal in Vancouver, and it's still hands down the most memorable meal we've had…read more The seafood was incredibly fresh, and everything was so thoughtfully prepared. The flavors were clean, balanced, and absolutely delicious. Definitely a meal we won't forget! We asked for recommendations on local oysters and tried the Island Tides, Kusshi, and Beachcomber. Each one had its own distinct character, from the texture to the brininess and subtle sweetness. Honestly, I could eat these every day. Make sure to their the house sauces, so many beautiful flavors in just a few bites. The potato crusted halibut and mussels were some of the best I've had. Seriously exceptional quality. They absolutely nailed every dish. The flavors, execution, and freshness were all on point. The only downside was the AC, it was barely doing its job when we visited. Honestly, it felt less like dining out and more like having dinner in Arizona. All in all, absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat.
