Local spot close by to our place that we've been to a few times over the years and the quality remains the same! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Not a ton of seating but that's kind of expected for small mom & pop businesses. The food is made fresh to order so there's a small wait after ordering but well worth it! My wife got the fish and shrimp combo while I got fish and crab cake combo. Fish is insanely dense and very flakey, with no fishiness at all. Batter was crunchy and not extremely oily like some places. Highly recommend to eat immediately! Their tartar sauce was fantastic and the fries were particularly delicious! read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - Menu - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

Solid fish and chips at this hole in the wall British pub in Pacifica. The 2 piece fish and chips came with 2 large pieces of fish. The fish has a nice crunch and the batter wasn't too thick. The fish was tender, juicy, and not fishy. Comparable to fish and chips I've had in London. The fries are larger cut wedge fries and nicely done. Comes with a serving of tartar sauce. For $22, not exactly cheap but good quality. We also ordered the clam strips but I would stick with the fish and chips. The clam strips use a thicker batter and I really couldn't taste much clam flavor to be honest. read more

This is such a gem! The portions are huge!! We both went in so hungry. We analyzed their menu and we were both going to order our own item. Very last minute we decided, let's just split the 3 piece fish and chips and get a side of jalapeno poppers! I am so glad we split it!!! The 3 pieces of fish were ginormous! The lady was helping us find a table because the place was packed. She brought us an extra stool too to wait outside! It's so cute in there, makes you feel like you're in England! This place needs to stay in business forever read more

Nice spot on a cold day, which is pretty much most days here lol. The plates were huge and served hot, which I love. It however lacked flavor and crispiness. Service was very good. Even though it's small with limited seating, they were great at accommodating our group of 6. read more

Been meaning to stop by to try their fish and chips. Let me say, easy to find street parking. The menu is very simple and short. We ordered: Fish (2 ) with chips and Chicken (2) with chips. We also ordered onion rings to share. Wow. Big pieces of fish and chicken. Good. Both the fish and chicken were not dry or salty. The chips were crunchy not soggy at all. We would definitely come back to have more fish and chicken. Thank you. read more

3.5 rounded up to 4. It's alright. Is the food on par with typical fish and chip places in England? No, but the pub decor is nice. I like the mini wooden barrels that the condiments and the napkins and silverware are placed in. I'm not sure why people were raving about the krab cake. It's imitation krab. It's not good or worth the stomach space in my opinion. I wasn't paying attention when my partner suggested we order it. I would rather the two pieces of fish combo in the future. The fish they use is okay. The fried sausage was a deep fried sausage. Not the tastiest sausage but the friedness was novel. The fries are solid. Slightly thick, a bit soft, but still crispy on the edges. Everything was freshly fried and served hot. The batter they use for the fish is different than the onion rings. I thought that the onion rings would use a wet beer batter on them but they were breaded, like bread crumb breaded. My favorite item was the fried mars bar for dessert. The beer that was recommended to me was half Guinness and half cider and it was refreshing to drink. They need to re-write the sign by the door. About 1/3 of the people get confused. One of the servers gets mad at people who wait politely by the door especially when the restaurant is full because they don't know whether to wait to get seated or to go all the way to the bar to ask for a seat and order. Instead of welcoming customers and letting them know that they'll be next to get seated or if there are people in front of them, she sternly said something like "You need to go to the front to order first before you can get a table." Well, that's kind of out of the norm and what is the front? The front door? Or is it the back of the restaurant near the bar? She meant the bar. Luckily we had a different server and she was nice. read more

I remember coming here with my family when I was younger and it was not how I remember it. $54 for 2 combinations, which contained 1 fish, 1 crab cake, and fries. The fish was okay but the batter on the fish was bland and not as crispy as it used to be, even slightly falling off. The fries are unsalted and very dry. Of course everything is fried but everything was quite heavy/ full of oil. You order at the register and it's then delivered to your table. The place is quite small and I noticed some waiting for tables. This place has been here for forever but in my opinion there are other more affordable and tastier fish and chip spots. read more

I can't believe this was my first time at Camelot and not my last! I went on a Friday at around 1:30pm it was packed and we got the last table. Then a larger line built, wow I got a root beer on tap! It was refreshing and I got the Camelot special with everything in it. Yummy oysters, big chuck of fish, loved the shrimps. I usually like skinny fries but these were different, it had a nice creamy baked potato texture in the middle, which liked. It was perfect fried basket of goodness. read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - Camelot special - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

Camelot is a classic English-style restaurant with a very small, cozy interior -- about eight small tables and two bar seats. The atmosphere and decor are great and really sell the pub feel. You order at the counter and then sit, which works well given how busy it gets. A lot of people call in orders, and the place fills up quickly, but the food comes out fast and people tend to rotate through at a steady pace. It's a very simple menu with about seven protein choices, all done in the same classic fish-and-chips style, which keeps things easy and efficient. They do a proper Guinness pour, along with a few other solid beer options. The fish is Icelandic pollock -- not local, which I was hoping for -- but it is the traditional English pub choice. It's wild-caught, sustainable, and honestly a good quality fish even if it's not local. read more

I was super excited to try this new local restaurant. I have been wanting a very good fish and chips for a long time. The reviews of this location really stood out to me as a mom and pop shot, and i appreciated the variety of combinations you could have. I ordered the fish combo with a crab cake. I took my food down to eat at the water, so it sat in a box for a few minutes, not very long at all. I tasted the fish and it tasted very overcooked, and very bland. It did not taste buttery at all. It was not flaky, as some prior reviews suggested it was. I could not finish more than half of one fish. The fries were very bland, as if there was no salt on them at all. Now the crab cake - all I tasted was pesto. I am not sure if pesto is in the crab cake, but all I tasted was herbs, and not in a fresh way. I love crab, and this was my first crab cake, and I was very disappointed. I would not come back to this place. I had very high hopes, and became very disappointed. I am upset that I spent $27 on a plate of food I could barely touch. I do not recommend coming here. I wish I could get my money back. Thumbs down read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - Fish combo with crab cake tasted - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

Came in for dinner last night while staying in Pacifica. It's a teeny tiny little pub and it filled up really quick shortly after we got there. The service was good- order/pay at the counter and they bring it out to you when ready. I ordered fish and chips and fried clams and all of it was great! The fish was crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. I really enjoyed the fries also, nice crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. read more

Good fish and chip but the crab cake was disappointing This was my first time trying this place, and I came based on my uncle's recommendation since he's local. I'm glad I gave it a try! The deep-fried fish was actually really good, juicy, and nicely fried. Definitely the highlight of my meal. Unfortunately, the crab cake was a disappointment. For $20, I expected real crab cake, but it was imitation crab. At that price, I don't think it was worth it. I would definitely come back for the fried fish, but I'd skip the crab cake next time. read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

Soggy as shiet fish. Fries are like sandpaper to the throat. Their tartar sauce tastes old. Breading tasted like bland untoasted sliced bread in the shape of a shoe insole. Almost like a fish sandwich. 50/50 chance of the fish being dry and maybe older who knows even from experience. The service is rude. No class. No hospitality skills whatsoever. The food is absolutely tasteless and the shop is so small they might be reusing fish if they can't even have the patience to be hospitable. Disabled people and supporters of disabled people do not come here. They have no manners for a restaurant that pretends to be English origin. Rude rude rude. More concerned about saving $3 or so than being hospitable to disabled people. The food is definitely not worth the rudeness and classlessness. Zero chivalry. This place should change their name and take all the decorations off the wall or be sued for defamation. Enjoy begging for any kind of flavoring then forgetting something and enjoying bland possibly undercooked under managed fish that could give you food poisoning. Enjoy breathing in deep fried fish oil and peoples farts while you eat. Enjoy the acid reflux from food soaked in oil from fish that's been "around" all day long. Maybe they're all just hoping this place becomes the next/a Chipotle? Or grooming your restaurant to be a taqueria? If you enjoy gambling and risking cuts in your mouth from the hardness and staleness from the chips and or abusing your children then drive all the way here and have a meal! Don't be surprised if they tell you those tables are reserved for whoever their favorite race is just because they reserve that right next... Staff can't seem to wait to stop pretending that they really hate their jobs, not sure who would choose to work here if they really had a choice? They can't even fake hospitality and being welcoming, maybe because they get paid very low to have to be pretentious serving people who want to be pretentious yet don't tip much for "fish and chips" which is definitely not food for the rich and famous and royalty so maybe make better decisions in your own lives instead of hoping that an English prince will be coming for fish and chips and save you from whatever "this" is... Safeway has benefits and upward mobility. They should also change the menu item to "corn dogs and chips" if they're trying to be so specific... read more

I haven't been by for about a year, I miss this place. Still some of the best fish & chips! Service was excellent. One thing I noticed was that the fries were different than what I remember. Same goodness however they were cut more potato like ( large wedges ) in the past, now they are more regular cut (nbd) . Same British atmosphere, always busy. A satisfying meal & visit. read more

Visit 7/4/2025 at 1:30pm Overall rating for fish and chips: 3.25 stars Camelot Fish & Chips has been on my list of spots for fish and chips! Place is small and only has 6 tables with a few window seating. So if plan on dining in, put your name on the wait list and expect a 10-15min wait during peak hours. No outdoor seating. I opted to take my order to go and graze in my car as I was taking a short break from visiting a relative at the rehab center nearby. If your first time, order/pay at the counter and wait outside for about 10 mins. Someone will come out and let you know when ready. Fish (pollock) was flaky, cooked perfectly with a light, crunchy exterior I expect from a delicious fish and chips. Sadly, the "chips" or fries were oddly DRY, spongy with no crisp at all. It wasn't due to take out as I dug into those fries while hot. Reheating them later would just make them drier...and I rarely leave a potato behind. Will definitely try them again as they have clam strips and fried mushrooms that I would get next time. Possibly the dry fries was just a bad day...Limited bottled beer and deep-fried Twinkies and Mars bar available Staff friendly and efficient. Pricing for 2pc fish and chips: $21 incl tax. Plenty of street and lot parking across the street read more

Delightful experience visiting Camelot! =D The vibe here is casual and friendly. You feel like you've stepped into a fish & chips joint in London upon entering. You go up to the counter to order your food, which they then deliver to your table. The fish & chip is yummy here with the usual fix'ns (vinegar, tartar sauce). In addition to the quality of the food, I appreciate the flexibility offered here: you can specify the # of fish pieces you want, and whether you'd want chips with your fish, onion rings, sweet potato fries, etc. I opted for fish + sweet potato fries, and the staff member essentially order a 2-piece side of fish + a sweet potato fries side for me, which was perfect! They have Guinness on tap here. Were we not going on a hike after, I would've gotten it. Next time! read more

This place is fantastic. My husband and I love it. It's as close to my husband's home in Ireland as we can get in California. I actually don't like fish, so I appreciate the option for chicken strips! And they're exactly the kind I like. Flat, breaded, normal, not fake chicken, and crispy with a little bit of salt! Fabulous. Please never change the chicken or the chips!! I love the chips, especially the little crispy ones. We got takeaway and it was fast, hot, well-packaged, and yummy! My husband loved the fish & chips with salt & vinegar. Worth every penny. read more

I forgot to take pics of the food because it was eaten so quickly- that should tell you how much I enjoyed Camelot! We ordered a plethora of fried seafood including the fish and shrimp as well as the chicken tenders, mushrooms, and a side order of sweet potato fries in addition to the regular fries. The food came out in about 10 minutes and the young guy who took our order was super friendly and hooked us up with all kinds of condiments to-go! I thought the fish here was a huge win! Well fried and seasoned with a super thin batter. I wasn't a huge fan of the thick cut British style fries, but I know that is the traditional way and the menu did warn of that! The shrimp was great and chicken tenders are a huge portion. I thought the pricing was competitive to other places in the area as well. If you choose to eat in, you'll enjoy the fun British decor and classic pub vibes. Be sure to check it out! read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - Inside - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

Craving some crispy fish--we went on an international tour looking for crispy fried fish. This was it. The fish served were crispy fried fish . We were able to grab a table before the rush and eat our fried goods. There were sauces at each table that I can only assume are traditional at British pubs. I heard someone specifically ask for brown sauce. So I tried the fish with the brown sauce. I don't know what I was expecting, so I thought it was fine. The staff was pretty friendly. They greeted us when we walked in. They were patient as we were trying to figure out what to order. They also provided us with a high chair for the little one who also seemed to enjoy the crispy fried fish. Every patron that came through were so friendly. I attribute it to the warm, friendly atmosphere provided by the hardworking staff. I do think the prices are a little high--but I would pay it again in a heartbeat. Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

A strong contender for the title of "Best Fish and Chips in the Bay". I came 30 minutes before closing to see if I could grab a table to quickly eat but we were not rushed, in fact it was still busy up until closing. It's warm and cozy inside with the all the UK/Irish decor and lights. We ordered onion rings, a tall lager, and a Camelot combo (oysters, shrimp, 1pc fish, and chips). The onion rings were tasty but the breading was kind of thick. The seafood was great. But the highlight was definitely the fish. While everything else is panko breaded, the batter on the fish is crispy and airy, with the fish itself being fresh and flaky. Chips are also made British style, not the same as fries! Wash everything down with a cold beer and you're set. read more

Obviously, it's far from the healthiest thing you can eat, but ever since I was a kid, fish & chips has been one of my favorite dishes. Whenever my family would try a new restaurant, it would be one of the things I would look for. Sadly, my all-time favorite spot closed long ago and ever since, I've been on the lookout for something that was just as good. So, after the first time I ever discovered Camelot, I immediately bookmarked them. Mostly because of how good the photos of their signature specialty looked, but also because of how long they've been around! First opening more than 50 years ago, so much about this place reminded me of the old school vibes my old favorite used to have! As you can imagine, the menu here is pretty straight forward - as their name implies, fish & chips is the name of their game. However, they also have a variety of other offerings too, including shrimp, crabcakes, oysters, scallops, clams, and the option to get combinations of them. In the event you're looking for something non-seafood, they also have chicken as an option, as well as a variety of sides and fried sweet treats (twinkies and mars bars). Given so many enticing options to choose from, I opted to go with THE COMBINATION WITH SHRIMP - Fried Fish and Fried Shrimp with Chips ($22.40). When my order came out, I was super stoked. Not only was the piece of fish quite large, but all four pieces of shrimp were big, too. Sadly, this mixed basket tasted very mixed. On the plus side, the shrimp were terrific - crunchy on the outside, sweet and juicy on the inside. As for the fish, it was moist and piping hot, but the batter, while fried to a crispy, golden brown, was a little gummy. Sadly, though, the chips really held this back. Since they're steak fries, it's not at all surprising that they're more potato-y, but they were also inconsistent - some were dry and starchy while the thinner, small pieces were incredibly hard. Considering how excited I was to try Camelot, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat disappointed. However, there's no question you get a good amount of food. Between how beloved they are and all of the praise they've garnered over the years, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we just came on a bad day, but either way, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back again to try their other seafood options! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down. read more

My husband and I stopped by after a friend recommended this place and we're so glad we did. I had the shrimp and chips and they were fantastic. The shrimp had a great crunch without being greasy and the seasoning was spot on. The dipping sauce that came with it really tied everything together, creamy, flavorful, and just the right touch. My husband went with the classic fish and chips and immediately gave them a 10 out of 10. The fish was perfectly fried with a light crispy batter and the fries were golden and satisfying. read more

My mom and I stopped by Camelot's after whale watching down the street. It was a beautiful day that seemed perfect for fish and chips. Luckily Camelot's wasn't too busy and we got a table. We ended up ordering the shrimp and chips, which was a great choice. The cocktail sauce is a perfect accompaniment to the giant, delicious shrimp. My mom rated the fries as "outstanding". They are British-style, hot, crispy, and great with the malt vinegar. Shout out to the friendly staff. This place is a hidden treasure. read more

Camelot is the type of bar where you order at the counter and they will bring the food to you. We had the fish & chips $20, fish, shrimp, oysters and scallops (the Camelot) $30, fried mushrooms $8 and beers. The restaurant was full at 6:30pm on a Tuesday. The fish and chips were good. It came out piping hot with decent sized fries. Along with ketchup, malt vinegar, tarter sauce, they even have that tangy brown HP sauce at my table. The restaurant felt British, although the bar staff didn't have an English accent. read more

I have come in here my whole life. I hadn't been into Camelot for a couple of years and decided to get some food. I ordered a half order of clams and substituted fries for the mushrooms. Now it says an extra charge for substituting, which I assumed would be the difference for the side, a couple of bucks. I also ordered a Snakebite. The total was over $36! Now the half order said $14.95 and I assumed the substitute side would be a couple of bucks and the drink no more than $10. Either I was overcharged or they charged me for a complete side order instead of an upcharge. Regardless I won't be back. read more

Still my favorite fish & chips place by far! Stopped in with the hubs on a Friday for lunch and the place was hopping! Servers are always nice even though it's a busy place. Since the place is so small a lot of peeps opt for to go but I wanna eat my fish and chips while they're hot before they get soggy! We ordered the 3 piece fish and chips with a side of fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were done just right so that you can pop them in your mouth and get a burst of juicy mushroom! I just wish they used the same batter as the fish! The 3 pieces of fish was way too much for us but thank goodness we have an air fryer at home so we can re-live the delishishness at home! . I think I should stick to 2 piece fish and chips and a combo so I can get an order of clams! read more

The words must be out after 57 years because it's standing room only on a busy Saturday, so we took our food and drinks to go. The server told us they had tables and chairs at the beach but there was none. Not a big deal since Manor Plaza is full of tables everywhere. The Icelandic Pollock fish was flaky and moist, with a firm texture that held up well to battering and frying. The batter was light but could use a bit more seasoning. The chips were thick so could be fried a little longer for a bit more doneness. The beer was cold. The sun was shining. All in all we enjoyed it. read more
