This place has amazing fish and chips! Got the 4 piece Alaskan cod, highly recommend. I also enjoyed their blackberry basil lemonade (very tart with a strong basil taste but I thought it was delish). A little busy, but I did go at lunch on Memorial Day. Worth the wait! There are bar height tables around but we went and sat on the steps by the splash pad.

Wow. Best cod I have ever had. The fries were really good too. Only complaint would be the portion size. The pieces of cod were really small for the price. But everything in Seattle is overpriced, so cant really put that on the restaurant. But the cod and breading were excellent.

What a catch is now what isn’t burnt and how salty do you like your fries. Small food portions. The older gal that used to work there was so friendly. The food was so good. Now with new ppl this isn’t the place to enjoy some fish and chips at all.

This is a quick service fish shack. I particularly like the seafood chowder. But honestly I just prefer to get a table at wild fin.

Ordered cod and chips. The fish was OK, not bad, a bit greasy. But the portions were SHOCKINGLY small. The three piece was about the same amount as a normal single piece, cut into three sections smaller than a chicken nugget. Usually I don’t get too wound up about portion size but given that I had dropped nearly $40 I actually felt completely ripped off. Wish I’d taken a picture because it was ridiculous.

Save your money. Not filets of cod but nuggets of cod! Condiments sitting in direct sun at unsafe temperature in filthy pump containers including tartar sauce and another mayo based sauce. Someone from the kitchen came out and collected the Condiments.They refilled the same containers without cleaning or emptying them out. They poured ice around them and left them in the direct sun! We didn’t want to chance food poisoning and used little packets of vinegar. The fries were good but had the fish nuggets sitting on top of them =< We can do better at home and there are several other fish and chip locations that actually deliver filets for the same or less money! Will not be back!

The food is a little over priced for what you get. My boyfriend and I ordered “fish and chips” as well as “calamari and chips”. Which this is what the menu states word for word and ordered exactly that. My calamari came with actual “chips” and the fish came with fires. Who wants plain tortilla chips with no dipping sauce? Me personally, the second best part is the fries. I was very disappointed about their false advertisement. This should be noted when ordering food. The staff said sorry there’s nothing we can do.

The food is not worth coming back , menu is a little misleading IMO… I got the calamari and chips , but didn’t expect actual tortilla chips . My boyfriend got the bahn mi “tacos” but got one taco on top of a bunch of tortilla chips. Maybe it’s my fault for not reading the menu thoroughly but it was definitely not worth $30.
