DINER: Gord Martin’s “Go Fish” Concept To Land In Recently Vacated Bin 942 Spot

by Andrew Morrison | Rumours have been swirling around as to what chef/owner Gord Martin has planned for his Bin 942 Tapas Parlour space at 1521 West Broadway ever since he shuttered it on June 11th.

Word has it that it’s going to be the second location of Go Fish, the supremely popular seafood shack on the False Creek seawall next to Fisherman’s Wharf. A lot of people love the original, myself included, so if this goes through it should be interesting to see if the concept translates well to brick and mortar, especially with Gord’s penchant for loud music and wild decor. I’m so used to eating this food outside in the sunshine while fending off gulls. Here’s hoping it works!
