Gluten-Free Fish and Chips in Vancouver!

Happy Holidays!

I was recently in Vancouver for the holidays and was finally able to try Mr. Pickwick's Fish and Chips. Everything on their menu can be done gluten-free. I went on a Friday and had the 2 piece cod and chip special for $6.95 and split a deep-fried mars bar with my friend. Delish!

They ran out of deep fried pickles that day but I'm looking forward to trying them the next time I'm back in Vancouver.

Unfortunately I was so hungry that I didn't snap any pictures for this blog- but I assure you everything is fried to order and extremely fresh. Even the tartar sauce is house-made. The decor is a little lacking- there are only 2 small tables in the shop (with two more outside on the patio for summer). Everything is plastic, but clean.

If you're in the Marpole area (Granville and 70th), try this place out! I would say it is also worth a drive in the summer to pick up some good picnic eats. It is hard to find gluten-free battered-and-fried foods and this place does it well.


I've heard about a fish and chip place on the Danforth in Toronto that serves gluten-free items. I'll let you know when I check it out.
