The GOODS from The Fish Counter

Vancouver, BC | We are looking for passionate, dedicated, and skilled individuals who care as much about local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients as we do. Specifically we care about seafood harvested in a responsible manner that we all can enjoy without putting the future health of our oceans at risk.

We need fish cutters, line cooks, production chefs, and retail service staff. We are looking for people that really want to contribute and make a difference. People with knowledge of sustainable seafood, seafood supply or can help out with our social media – Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (and we mean our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!) – will be considered an asset.

We expect you to be enthusiastic, professional, and organized. We are looking for those that are as passionate as we are about learning and conveying responsible environmental choices to the community. We expect you to be adaptable, love to laugh, love good food and people, and want to contribute to a better seafood buying system that is community oriented. We also expect you to think ‘outside the box’ to create a better food experience for our customers. Honesty and transparency is key for us.

For us this is a passion. We believe in what we do and that it is the right thing to do. We also believe that this is the direction that our food systems must take for food security in the future. We are offering the right people to be a part of a truly cutting edge, community-minded, sustainable seafood shop at the ground level. We believe in hiring the right people and taking care of them from day one. We not only commit to train, but expect to learn from the right candidate. The Fish Counter is not about individuals, but a team, and we hope to craft a great team that will help us build something that is more than just a typical job at a typical store. Together we can be greater than the sum of the parts.

If you think you have what it takes to work with us (ask around!) then drop off your resume at the shop. Please include a cover letter explaining why you would be a great fit.

We are at 3825 Main St. at 22nd. Ask for Mike or Robert. We are looking to open first week of December.
