At Sharkey’s, we recognize the increasing food sensitivities in people’s diet so we have compiled a list of “gluten free” items so that all our guests can enjoy a dining experience at Sharkey’s. On the menu, you will see these items labled with a “G” or simply ask your server to ensure their meal will be prepared, gluten free.
Starters
Burgers (we now stock a gluten free burger bun)
Oysters
Salmon & Halibut (although pan-fried, we stock rice flower to pan-fry the fish in)
Shrimp Dishes
Steamers
Beef/Ribs
Stir Frys
All of our main course meals are served with fresh sauteed vegetables and for you gluten free folks, steamed daily potaotes (our seven-grain rice contains some grains that are not gluten free).
Beer
There you have it. Quite a list of meals that can be enjoyed at Sharkey’s that are gluten free. Always ensure that you let your server know of any allergies or food sensitivities and we will be sure to ensure that you food is prepared to your liking.
Cheers

The Sharkey’s Cioppino (pronounced cho-pino with a fancy Italian accent) is our signature dish and by far our number one tasting and selling entree. At only $19.99 (this is a dish definitely over $30 in Vancouver) guests get a feast of a variety of seafood and shellfish stewed in a beautiful tomato broth with hints of sweet red pepper and a touch of Sambuca. This feast is served with a side Caesar salad (also worthy of an honorable mention) and garlic toast.
The word Cioppino actually originates at the docks of San Francisco, California. Back in the day as we say, fishermen used to come back from a long day out at sea and upon arrival back at the docks, they used to all “chip-in” some fish into a communal fish stew. Said with an Italian accent it became “Cioppino.”
Buon Appetito!

All Caesars $1 off on Sundays
Caesar cocktails are by far the number one selling cocktail at Sharkey’s and in fact, all of Canada. But does everybody know that the Caesar actually originated in Calgary, BC? Yes!!! Canada rules!!!
In 1969 at the Westin Hotel in Calgary, a bartender at an Italian themed restaurant “Marco’s” was challenged to come up with an innovative cocktail. Maybe inspired by a Clam Linguine in tomato sauce, Walter Chell added clam nectar and oregano to a Bloody Mary and came up with the origins of what is now known as a Bloody Caesar.
Here at Sharkey’s, we have many different variations on this classic hangover cure:
Bloody Caesar, Chipotle Caesar, Mexican Fiesta, Acapulco Gold, Cucumber Gin Caesar, Prawn Cocktail Caesar (shown above)
