I’m a fish and chips lover and have to try it wherever I go. This place hit the spot for me and I enjoyed my meal. We got the halibut, cod, clam chowder, and chicken. It was all golden crispy goodness. The chicken strips seemed fresh and my son loved them. I prefer fresh cut fries, but these were still good. I’d definitely recommend this place! fyi, I took my pictures towards the end of our meal.

Friendliest service in town. Just downright delightful people who run the place. That’s nothing to say for the 5-star food. The clam strips are stand-out. Something that should be an easy dish that so many places mess up. The Bait Shop does ‘em right. The French fries also are notably good. The window seats offer prime people-watching. Thoroughly satisfied. We will return the next time we visit Friday Harbor.

Ordered cod and chips, bowl of clam chowder, shrimp and chips, and clam strips and chips. Not sure if I should give this 3 or 4 stars. Texture is great for the fish and shrimp, but the clam strips are way too gummy and hard. The other thing is salt: the chowder and sauce were really salty. Also the fries were pretty average; my wife thought they were really good but after eating an entire basket I think she’s crazy

The best fish and chips in the region in my opinion. Amazingly fresh, tender, flaky cod, light breading, yummy fries. Reasonably priced for Friday Harbor and less than you would pay in a restaurant for lower quality. I miss the oregano in the slaw though!

This spot serves as your typical fish’n’chips shop, targeting mostly tourists, which is perhaps reflected in the slightly overpriced menu. For $20, you get three small pieces of fish, and the fries, while adequate, are just ‘okay’. What gives this place a charm, however, is the option to sit at a window table, providing a delightful opportunity to people-watch while you eat. While the food may not be extraordinary, the lively street views may make up for it.

Every time we go to Friday Harbor we stop here. I love the location and how the windows open and you can eat looking outside. My favorite part. For the price… and the size of the fish – it’s way overpriced. I guess that comes with a tourist spot like this. However, the fish was good. We got Halibut. The fries were good also. We got the clam chowder and I wouldn’t waste my money on that again. Not very tasty. There is no “service” because you never hear from them again once you take your food. They weren’t very nice but that’s ok…. it just kills me to tip and not even get a thank you. BUT! We still love this place and the location! AND the ferry ride over.

Nice open window seating. Cod came in big pieces, and not too greasy. Fries were yummy. We didn’t love the crab tots. They were a little spicy and didn’t taste much like crab. I would return and try the clam strips instead.

Small, and quaint, wonderful atmosphere, amazingly quick service. Now let’s talk about the seafood. For the price we paid, the code was tender flakey, and moist. The scallops were delectable little morsels that are juicy, not over cooked and very tender!
