    Fish and prawns (half eaten) Onions rings and a zucchini
    Jerry H.

    The fish was excellent, very fresh and crispy. The prawns were pretty good. The fries were nice, traditional with chips. I also got the onion rings (and the threw in a zucchini). Both I would recommended. Will be back with the wifey!

    Big Fish on Folsom Blvd is one of those spots that quietly overdelivers. First of all -- the ranch dressing deserves its own paragraph. I don't know what they're putting in it, but it's hands down some of the best ranch I've had at a restaurant. Creamy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and somehow good on everything. I was dipping fries, hush puppies, broccoli...basically anything I could justify. The fried food is where they really shine. Everything has that ultra-crispy, golden crunch on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. You can taste the Asian-inspired flavors in the seasoning and sauces -- bold, savory, slightly sweet, and seriously addictive. It's comfort food but elevated with really well-balanced flavors. The customer service was top tier. The staff was genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming. Not rushed, not distracted -- just good, solid hospitality. Made me feel like I was being cooked for at someone's house. You can tell they care about the experience as much as the food. Great flavors, amazing ranch, and awesome service. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    Seen there was new owners again. I came here when it was rhetorical OG Cape Cod. Cape cod was king!! Then it became PJ's fish and chips but PJ's sucked more than BJ's IYKYK. Big fish was good but there was a few things I didnt like. The fish was good it was well battered, the flavor was there but.... The fish was a cheaper quality. Alaskan pollack instead of Cod. The pieces of fish were small af. They gave me a big onion ring and some zucchini slices with my order. The fries looked a lil too brown, maybe they were double fried. We had to go ask for forks we had to go ask for lemons. The lemons were nasty they were in a container that looked like it was on the fridge for the past week. They were slimy yet dry if that makes sense. The customer service was alright, the guy taking the order spoke very little English so it was hard for him to understand my questions and my order. The vibe in there was chill, it wasnt to bright, when we first got there it was dead but I guess we brought business cuz it got busy quick. Besides the Alaskan Pollack fish they also had catfish as an option. The calamari that I ordered was also good but they cut em in a different way that i'd never seen they were like little scoops. I'd be back to try it again, it's no Cape COD thats for sure. If u never had cape cod then ur good cuz u wont be comparing them to each other. Bring ur own lemon, if they can get fresher ones then they should step their game up. The fish quality too step that up cuz Alaskan Pollack always feel chewy.

    Onion rings (about 1/2 the order)

    Super clean and owner(s) very nice. We ordered (poetions were generous/huge): 1) 9 piece fish & chips for a group -5/5. Very yum. Oil and fish were both fresh. Came out of fryer super crispy and perfecrly cooked - not greasy (fries were good too); 2) onion rings - 5/5 maybe best i have had; 3) lumpia - 5/5 also very good; 4) oysters -4/5 very good; 5) zucchini - 5/5 very good. The tartar sauce and cocktail sause super good The fish was alaskan pollak. Super delicate fish and thw owners know how to handle it.

    Big Fish has a wide variety of food such as kimchi, to plates with crispy fish and teriyaki. There's definitely something for everyone and you do not need to just get the fish although I highly recommend it because it's fantastic! The service is fast and easy. The restaurant is clean inside with plenty of seating at the counter or the tables. Placing an order is easy with the kind customer service and you get your order in a reasonable amount of time. I plan to come back again to try more things on the menu. I highly suggest you check this place out!

    Delicious as always. Just saw that they recently added some new items to the menu! Ordered a Chicken Teriyaki, Fish n Chips, Onion Rings, and calamari. The chicken was moist and flavorful!! It also came with rice and a salad that was quite delicious. Fish n chips were as good as always. Onion rings and calamari appetizer were a big hit with our group as well! The staff were friendly and attentive as always making sure our food was to our tastes and that we had plenty of condiments to go along with our food. I really like their tartar sauce and the malt vinegar goes well with the fish. They recently added some beer choices so I really enjoyed an ice cold coors to go with my food! Can't wait to go back again!

    Located between Goodwill and Round Table in East Sacramento on Folsom Blvd is Big Fish. Formerly PJ's Fish & Chips Diner. New owner. New name. New look. Drinks are self-serve after purchasing. Decor is casual, modern and updated. I ordered the 2-piece Combo and extra Zucchinis. The fish is fresh and melted in my mouth. Onion Rings were delicious and the Zucchinis were a must have for me to go with my fish and chips. Condiments are available upon request: Malt Vinegar, Ketchup, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail and Ranch The portions were generous and I couldn't finish everything. I can't wait to return to try the other items on the menu! Highly recommend Big Fish if you're craving for some amazing fish and chips!

    Yeah, no.

    4 with a caveat. The place is clean. The service is lovely. The food is serviceable - but - not a go back for us. Perhaps my bar is high. I grew up on New Hampshire seacoast fried cod or haddock. This fish was tasteless. The batter overwhelmed the fish and was mushy on the underside, indicating it's not fully cooked. The white sauce in a squeeze container is definitely NOT tartar sauce by any side by side comparison. Fries are decent. On the plus side, a generous slice of deep fried zucchini plus a single onion ring is nice. In the "no" column is a teensy container of coleslaw for $2. They are trying, and I don't want to tank their score, hence 4 stars. Personal preference is no return. To each their own.

    Fish and chips

    Amazing fish and chips. Nice and crispy. Great crunch. They included an onion ring and tempura zucchini to try which were also great. The clam chowder was delicious as well. We have been wanting to try this place out since we live close and it did not disappoint. They have reasonable prices as well for the amount of food you get. Service was good as well. We will be coming back soon! Awesome experience.

    I was finished for work on a Friday and had to taste for some fish. I found this place not too far from the downtown Sacramento area that was under new management. Big fish has a great assortment of fried fish with homemade sauces. I ended up ordering the fried fish with oysters. The weight didn't take too long and I decided to have my meal in the restaurant . Patricia arrived with homemade tartar sauce and homemade cocktail sauce. There was also malt vinegar on the table. The plate came with nice leaf-sized oysters a lemon along with fried onion rings. I really appreciate that the batter was very light and crispy. The fish was very fresh and flaky. I could appreciate that it was fried in New oil. The restaurant didn't have the AC on however there was a cooler blowing which kept the temperature nice. Overall I definitely would come back to try some of the other things on the menu.

    Yum! This was one piece of fish with fries! The onion rings were a bonus!

    I was dropping off a donation at the Goodwill on Folsom and I was parked right in front of Big Fish. I saw the "under new ownership" sign and realized it was after lunchtime, so I thought I would give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! I got fish and chips, a side of cole slaw and a Coke Zero, The food was delicious (nicely crispy fish, fries and bonus onion rings!), the service was friendly and the restaurant was spotless. I will definitely be back!

There are plenty of outdoor seating available in front and back. When ordering, the cashier asked if it's for dine in or take out. It was explained to me that the difference between the two is that take out will be in foldable boxes. I opted for take out even though I was eating there in case I had to take home leftovers. I later noticed on my receipt that there's an extra charge for those containers. Do say dine in to avoid the fees if you don't need the food in boxes if eating there. I ordered the clam chowder in a bread bowl. The clam chowder came in a separate container which I actually preferred since it kept the bread bowl from getting soggy. I just tore pieces of the bread and dipped it into the chowder. There wasn't large clumps of clam which is actually how I prefer my clam chowder. The kids had chicken tender and fries. The chicken tenders were really thin which made it even crispier. The food wasn't salty which I very much preferred. It was a nice warm meal on a cold winter night.
