Had to hit this spot on a recent trip to the Spit, and have to admit the halibut was some of the best fish & chips I've had anywhere. The Panko crust was nice and crispy, without being oily, and the fish still moist and tender. The crust on the halibut also had a bit of herbs in it which kicked it up a notch. I also tried the rockfish combo, which was still above average, but if I had to do again, I'd go all halibut. The fries were pretty good, but honestly nothing to fly up here to visit for. Tartar sauce was also solid, but felt it could have used more tang (pickles). It is a bit of a bummer they're cash only, but it was worth hitting the ATM to be able to try this place. I'd definitely go back, or have it on my list to hit anytime I'm on the Spit. read more

AK Fish Fryers - 4 piece combo. All fantastic, but the Halibut was some of the best I've tried. - Seafood Near Me - Homer, Alaska

Place is not here. It is a new business called Hook n Cook as of my visit July 26, 2025 Hook n Cook was delicious read more

They were closed at 5pm today even though the hours said they were open until 8pm. Very sad...

COVID update- they are open! Cash ONLY - plan on AT LEAST 20 bucks. Delicious fish. A very light panko style batter with good, but not overpowering seasoning. The fish is fresh and hot. Well seasoned fries. Normal style fries. Other than the seasoning, nothing out of the ordinary. Two tartar sauces. One of them was hiding under a fish fillet. One tartar sauce wasn't really enough if you're dipping fries and fish. Lemon wedges. Small, but plenty of juice to get your fish dusted. Cole slaw. Normal coleslaw. Nothing weird or special. Solid Halibut choice. read more

I'm not a fan of frying perfectly good fish, but this place came recommended to my group by our charter. We took one of our fresh catches here and they fried it up, which is the only option. The batter for the halibut and cod tasted the same even though they looked different. One had some kind of herb, maybe parsley. The side of fries or onion rings is a generous portion, but the cole slaw is served in 2 oz plastic containers. We paid under $30 for them to fry about 3 lbs of fish, 2 orders of fries and 2 orders of cole slaw with a few drinks. Reasonably priced and the wait time was about 20 minutes. Give your food some time to cool off before you take your first bite. read more

We loved the halibut fish and chips and the seafood chowder. So good we went there twice in 3 days.

Omg. Their fish and fries are perfect! We love how well seasoned and crispy the batter is. The halibut is good and so is the cod. We will definitely be back. We had the fish chowder also and that was so-so. It was pretty bland. I'd skip that and just get extra fish. We were really happy with everything else we tried so they still get 5 stars read more

Very good-when they are OPEN which is not very often sadly. Not sure what is going on there but it's my go to for fresh fried halibut with good tartar sauce. read more

Excuse me? I've never tasted fish and chips like THIS!!! This fish was so flavorful and the breading was crispy and ON POINT. The man who helped was very friendly and had a very nice smile. Halibut serving of 5 pieces. These pieces were HUGE. The fish was NOT over cooked and flavorful. Halibut isn't a very flavorful fish, but they brought the delicious flavor of the fish out. The spinach dip was small but let me tell you, it was worth it. The flavors were robust and had a creamy finish. The Caesar salad was balanced. There was dressing and cheese with every bite. The combo of cod and halibut, I promise you time stopped when I took a bite. You HAVE to try it. I'm from California so this blew any fish and chips I've ever had in California. read more

Very disappointed in AK Fish Fryers. Don't get me wrong the fish and chips are excellent but their hours are all over the place. We were staying in Homer for three days and noticed they had a posted sign stating they were going to be open on Thursday. Low and behold when we come back Thursday the place is closed and the sign is gone. Their online hours said they were open and their phone number had no additional information. Very disappointed in this restaurant. Inconsistent hours are how good restaurants die. PLEASE POST YOUR HOURS SOMEWHERE!! read more

Great place to bring your fish after your catch!! We brought in a few chunks of halibut and it was fried perfectly. The fries and salad were also very good. We have decided to never fry our own again as it's just way easier to have someone else deal with the mess! read more

4th of July lunch at AK Fish Fryers. Five Stars!! We searched the entire Spit looking for AK Fish Fryers. We even solicited directions from a local shop and were directed to it. A pleasant small operation with a Food Truck appearance was eventually found. The menus was simple and straightforward enough. They cook FISH!! We enjoyed a delicious cup of Halibut Chowder while we waited for a five piece Halibut with fries to be prepared. It was a delightful way to endure the small amount of time necessary to prepare five pieces of perfectly cooked fish. The Halibut was golden brown and had the perfect crunch. The French fries were just right, golden and crisp with light salt. This was all attractively plated with Tartar Sauce and Cole Slaw. We will eat there again. Friendly people, great food. read more

I'm so confused by all the rave reviews of this place. I was not happy with my meal. The super crispy breading was thicker than the, very thinly sliced, dried out halibut that it encased. The fries seemed like they had been prepared in advance and were soggy and warm, not hot. I tried going to get fish and chips here numerous times, but the place was closed when they were advertised to be open. I kept on trying because of the excellent reviews written. Sorry to say, it was not was I expected it to be. $30 not well spent. read more

Cute little walk up with just a bench for sitting. There were some picnic tables in front of some shops on the deck next door. Menu is small, focused. It's all about the cod and halibut. The chowder of the day was cod. I had a large, which was served in I'm guessing a 12 ounce styrofoam cup. Some nice pieces of cod. The broth was creamy, not too thick or thin. The flavor was o.k. The potatoes were mushy, I like mine firmer. The ratio of broth to seafood/veggies was poor, not nearly enough of the latter. The five piece halibut and chips, now that's another story. Perfectly coated and seasoned, not too heavy. Generous pieces of moist, fresh halibut. Creamy coleslaw. Firm, perfectly cooked thin cut fries. Took about 10 minutes to prepare. If not for the chowder, this gets a 5 for sure. read more

Best Hailbut Fish fry. Must eat place in Homer spit. Great service and home cooked style touch

Good food for a good price. Cod and fish was very good. They were also quick getting the food out as well. Note this is a cash only business. read more

Great fried halibut and chips with homemade sauce. We also bought a fried crepe-like dessert (forgot the name). The owners have a great breading for the fish, and the fries were just right. Almost gave it 4 stars because I thought the price was a little high ($29 for six pieces), but the flavor and quality was solid. Might find it a bit cheaper off the spit, but you won't get the harbor "feel." read more

This was the perfect place to grab some amazing fried fish after a halibut charter. We got the fried halibut as well as a AK sandwich with halibut and the sandwich was fantastic. Don't get me wrong the fish was also some of the best I have had, perfectly done. But that sandwich was the star on the menu. read more

CASH ONLY. Portion sizes were great as were the prices. Definitely my go to place now whenever I have a craving for halibut. No seating available, but there are plenty of tables by the shops nearby. read more

AK Fish Fryers - Seafood Near Me - Homer, Alaska

I had a delicious meal of fresh fried Halibut and chips from AK Fish Fryers! The portion sizes are massive too! I ordered just the 3 piece combo and it was plenty of food for both me and my wife to share. Their breading is crispy without being greasy, and it has a very nice flavor that accentuates the Halibut. Great choice if you are in Homer and want a reasonably priced meal of fish and chips! read more

Best place in Homer for fried fish by a mile. We tried spots all over town. They'll also fry fish if you bring your own. read more

WOW! Really doesn't look like much on the outside, but what a pleasant surprise! We just picked up one of the halibut fish and chips to snack on and it was absolutely fabulous. Crispy, fresh, and well complemented by herbs on the outside, we would love to get it again! read more

Took 3 tries to find it. Follow their address on Google map. Next to the Blue Urchin. I read the good reviews. Locals come here, best halibut in town they said. You be the judge. read more

The best fish and chips I had in my life. I am fairly confident that I will never find halibut so freshly made and delicious ever again - unless I revisit Alaska read more

Brought some of our just caught halibut to them and 20 minutes later had generous portions of perfectly fried fish with fries and tartar sauce. Everything was good, but the fish batter was the best we have tasted on any continent! It's a breaded batter, thick and crunchy, with parsley and other seasonings which enhances the fish. We made the mistake of bringing them too much, so we had literally 3 meals of leftovers, and even cold on day 2 it was incredibly good! Somehow there was never any grease, never soggy, this is true craft and should make everyone's list when visiting Homer, buy enough for leftovers, it's that good! read more

The food was great. We brought our own Halibut right from our fishing charter and he fried it up for us. The onion rings and fries were both great. They only take cash so plan ahead. read more

As much hype as all of the reviews I read I was so excited to have lunch here while in Alaska. I insisted to go here! Well, it was ok. Nothing to rave about. Prices are ridiculously high and the food was mediocre. I personally think they right their own reviews. The gentleman working that day pretty much described the food word for word what a few of the reviews said. Nearly $40 for chowder and 1 order of fish and chips is not worth it. read more

Delicious fried halibut and cod! Well seasoned and perfect amount of batter. Fries are good as well.

By far the best halibut and chips we've had in Alaska. So good we ate here every day we were in Homer and will definitely return next time. Cash only so go prepared. Awesome food and awesome people! read more

The fried Halibut was amazing! We were there in July of 2021 and they still had the "COVID window" which was the worst part of the experience since covid is over, but to each their own. Highly recommend picking up food here and taking it to eat with a beer at the Salty Dog. read more

We brought in 3 lbs of halibut from our freezer. AK FF had it fried up in no time, delicious! Cole slaw, french fries and a rhubarb blintz completed a great meal. If you're stuck on DIY, you can find my old FryDaddy at 50 fathoms in Kachemak Bay - never again! read more

Life changing experience. I probably will never have halibut chips anywhere els since the standard just got set to my palate. Absolute heavenly halibut! I grew up here in AK and I have never had halibut cooked so perfect. Fresh and crispy breading and not greasy. Definitely a must eat when in beautiful Homer, Alaska. The servings are HUGE for the price and staff is extremely friendly. It's the kinda place you crave once you know how good you just got fed! We will be back EVERY time we visit. read more

Solid pieces of fish fried to perfection. Crispy breading that highlights the delicate fish texture. Malt vinegar is better than the tartar but that's always a personal choice. Chips were hard fried as well. You gotta go. read more

Absolutely delicious! We were so disappointed they were closed last night so we made a point of getting here earlier today. Five pieces of halibut was enough for my husband and me. They even mixed up some cocktail sauce for my husband. We followed the fish and chips with rhubarb blitzes that were perfect read more

Don't let the look of the building sway you. The fish was fresh, and the breading was delicious, not greasy at all. Be prepared to pay with cash. read more
