An Iconic Destination for Chinese Seafood, Bringing Vancouver Together

On Richmond’s Alexandra Road, affectionately known as “Eat Street,” The Fish Man has become a destination for bold Sichuan flavours and expertly prepared seafood. Queues outside speak to its loyal following, drawn by generous value, a lively atmosphere and cooking that consistently delivers.

Owner and Executive Chef Bo Li has emerged as a strong new presence in Vancouver’s Chinese culinary scene. Equally assured with the punch of Sichuan seasoning and the subtlety of Cantonese seafood preparations, he brings confidence and range to the kitchen. His dishes never disappoint, reflecting a clear understanding of ingredients and the care needed to bring out their best.

That spirit extends beyond the restaurant. Through his active involvement in Vancouver’s wider community, Chef Li helps bring Chinese cooking to new audiences and builds connections across cultures. Inclusivity is central to his approach: welcoming people of different backgrounds to the table and sharing the pleasure of Chinese seafood without losing the character of the cuisine.

Signature offerings include lingcod or tilapia with tangy pickled mustard greens, alongside grilled fish in a variety of preparations. From the bright acidity of the broth to the warmth of Sichuan mala spices, these dishes give diners plenty to return for. With its accessible pricing and dependable cooking, The Fish Man has earned its place as a favourite for Chinese seafood and a welcoming introduction to Sichuan and Chongqing flavours.
