Oddfish Restaurant

Oddfish is a Vancouver restaurant focused on fresh seafood, vegetables and cooking that follows the seasons. Its menu is designed for pescatarian and vegetarian dining, with the ocean providing the central point of reference while produce from the land changes alongside it.

Two menus shape the restaurant’s offering. A seasonal menu carries signature dishes that are adjusted as ingredients move in and out of season. A separate daily menu responds to what arrives from suppliers that day, giving the kitchen room to work with the freshest available seafood and vegetables. This approach means the selection is continually changing rather than fixed.

Seafood dishes may feature prawns, fish and other ingredients selected according to the day’s supply, while vegetarian choices give the menu a distinct plant-focused option. The emphasis is on ingredient quality, freshness and allowing the character of each arrival to guide the food. Diners who enjoy trying different seafood preparations, as well as those looking for vegetarian cooking, will find the restaurant’s format particularly relevant.

The restaurant’s identity comes from this balance between planned seasonal cooking and spontaneous daily changes. Familiar signature dishes can be refined for the time of year, while the daily menu reflects the suppliers’ latest offerings. That makes the food more connected to current conditions in the sea and on land than a conventional static menu.

Oddfish is located on West 1st Avenue at Cypress. The setting suits diners seeking a seafood-led meal with clear vegetarian options and an ingredient-driven menu that can vary from one visit to the next. Checking the current menu before dining is a practical way to see which seasonal and daily preparations are being served.
