Specializing in aburi, or flamed-seared, sushi, the act of applying flame directly and lightly searing sushi enhances the natural flavours and textures of the seafood.

    If you’re in Vancouver and love fresh, beautifully prepared dishes, Oddfish is an absolute must-visit! This restaurant offers a seasonal menu where the freshness of the ingredients — especially fish and vegetables — takes center stage. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff that enhances the whole experience. Make sure you try the ceviche, which is simply divine, and the salmon with its perfectly crispy skin, a true masterpiece of flavor and texture. Both dishes showcase how fresh ingredients can shine when skillfully crafted. With its relaxed atmosphere and a touch of creativity in the menu, Oddfish is the perfect spot for casual dinners or special occasions. Don’t miss the chance to discover this gem in Vancouver!

    Have been going for years and after seeing an overhaul of their staffing crews (multiple times), this recent luncheon was actually enjoyable with great staff. They were even considerate of the “sun” exposure in our eyes and allocated us to a comfortable seating dining table. Food was delicious and our waiter was friendly and kind.
