This place is a gem! They are a small hometown fish and chips spot with finger licking good food. The building itself is small and doesn't accommodate many, but it's a cool in house dining experience if you go at the right time. They make your food to order so it can take a bit but it's fresh and hot when you get it. Parking is decent and the staff was very friendly. Plus, it's footsteps from the ocean which makes for a nice walk after your meal. Will return!! read more

Let me start by saying how I have a soft spot in my heart for fried foods, especially fried fish. With that said, I expect a certain quality when it comes to my fish n chips. I am the furthest thing from a snob, but this lunch was absolutely AWFUL. I ordered the classic fish n chips. The bed of fries looked delicious, but they had the texture of fries that were cooked days ago and then reheated in a microwave to burning hot slices of cardboard. The outside of them were hard as a rock with the insides being dry and chewy like you are eating a sliced box. Now for the main course. The purpose of my visit... if you want a spongy, chewy frozen fish, this is your place! 1 star is automatic, and the second star is due to the appropriate portion and the atmosphere of the restaurant. If you are craving fish n chips, keep driving south on hwy 1. By the time you're in Half Moon Bay, you will find 2 different great spots. Just don't go here. read more

Parking is very easy nice and safe area and not to far to mussel rock and enjoy the view and the fish and chips or go over to sharp park pier and enjoy the scenery read more

Excellent, outstanding fish and chips. Super thick, white, flaky fish. Crispy batter. Ordered a side of fried shrimp. They were tasty too. Service was very slow, but the place was packed. Clean dining area. Friendly server. read more

So tasty! Both people in my party had fish and chips. It was piping hot and fresh, SO much fish/thick meat, and the batter was great. Simple menu done well. Will definitely be hitting this place up again in the near future. read more

What a fun place. It is almost everything you might expect for a fish and chip house. We did kearn that if it is green and not fired they don't serve it, so don't expect Cole slaw. read more

So just stopped by to order some food. The staff member just kept calling out people who ordered online, thus ignoring me. After a 5 minutes, she looked at me and said we're all out of fish...go figure.... read more

Amazing fish and chips I wont be going anywhere else for fish and chips. I decided to finally try this place out today and the fish was fresh and tasted amazing. Also the fries were thick and crispy. I pre ordered online and set my pick up time and everything was on time. The price for a 3 piece (fish) and chips, but I am willing to support a local business that offers amazing fresh fish & chips! read more

This is a tale of two fish. Was nearby decided to stop in and it's a tiny place and designed like a British pub. I ordered the hush puppies and they were a tad overdone but okay. Now for the fish. One piece was very thin and was way over done and super dry and here's why. My second piece was a fatty and it was cooked to perfection and was flaky and moist and tasted fantastic and they both didn't cover the plate in grease which is a good sign. Really isn't service here you order at front and go get it and eat it. If in the area I will return but it's far away from me. For the one fish I'd give it a 2 star review and for the other a solid 5 so I'll settle on a four since peeps very friendly. read more

Generous portions, especially on the fish...love the crispy batter. Wish the place was bigger, but that's minor. Cheers! read more

This place deserves every bit of a 5 star rating. The staff is very friendly and the food is cooked to order and always piping hot. They have a good British and Irish beer selection as well. read more

Enjoyed lunch with my best friend today. He & I were craving for fish & chips. He's great about searching on the internet. So he found a pub in Pacifica & we decided to drive out there today as it is a bright & sunny day; however cold. It opens @ 11 am. We arrived there around 11:55 am & the place was crowded already. There was a very friendly & nice lady name Anna who took our orders. We both shared a mushroom order. He ordered a 2 fish & chips order & I ordered a fish & oyster combination. Wow! Delicious taste on both orders & we couldn't stop eating the chips. Very fresh & crispy. We're seniors so of course our eyes were drooling & we're having leftovers for dinner tonite. This is one of the few best tasting fish n chips places here in the Bay Area. read more

I haven't been here in a while but I have been obsessed since trying Camelot a few years ago. 2 years ago in fact. We were coming back from Pacifica and wanted something delicious. What's better than fries and fish? The spot is very old-school in feel and wrap their food in old newspapers. Feels free old English-y. I loved it and would like to go back soon. read more

Although it is my go-to place for fish and chips, I hadn't been there for nearly a year before going there with my family last night. I'm hoping the wait last night was an aberration. There were two parties ahead of us in the order line when we got there, and the restaurant was maybe 75% full (half who were already eating and the other half waiting for food. We placed our order at 7pm. I expected we would be waiting for our food 20-30 minutes. However, 30 minutes after ordering...only two orders came out from the kitchen (for other people). Then, 2-3 take-out orders for people who ordered after us came out. Meanwhile, the restaurant was now full with every table but one waiting for food. We didn't get our food till 50 minutes after ordering. The fish was good; the fries were cold. Based on my experience last night, it is still a worthwhile place to eat if I'm in the neighborhood but not a destination spot. It should not take 45+ minutes to deep fry some fish and fries when there are only four orders in front of you. read more

Tonight I went all the way over to try Camelot. I stood at the front for several minutes only to be told that they were "pausing" on taking any new orders and they would not serve me. I can understand turning down phone orders if you are too busy but after taking the time and effort to come in person I felt very disrespected and taken for granted. This is not the way to treat customers. read more

As authentic as you can get without going to the UK. Service is always fast and friendly, their menu is short and to the point, and they totally deliver a great product, every time. This is a regular stop for me. Awesome place! read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - As authentic as it gets without actually traveling to the UK - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

This place was awesome! Food was good and people were polite and ready to serve. There wad mis-communication on my order, called and she gladly took care of it. Got all fish instead of fish & shrimp. Went back and gave me shrimp, with out any issue. Appreciate good customer service. read more

Camelot is my and my wife's go-to fish place in the Peninsula. The standard order of fish and chips is probably some of the best fish I've had. I highly recommend, particularly for takeout (they deliver the meal wrapped in newspaper, which has a nice nostalgia to it). read more

Iall start by saying iam an old school bay area native, ive being going to this place since i was a kid , iam now 50 and i cant believe how low camelot has gone down. Ive never had an issue here and its being a long time that ive visited this place so I finally did. When i ate the fish and chips it was like eating pre frozen food , not even close to what it was before , the batter was'nt even the same and the fries tasted like it came from a frozen box from safeway. Its sad because i was looking forward to eating here again but it bombed for me , i work in the food industry so i know fresh foods when i eat it and this was a pure frozen disappointment. I used to pay I believe $8.99 back in the days for a fresh order of fish and chips now its $15.99 for frozen fish and chips ??? I dont want to sound to negative on this place because its always being a good place but now its not , do yourself a favor Camelot , go back to the old ways you used to do your fish and chips and serve fresh fish and chips , the frozen way is not good at all. I won't be back sadly to say ,, there are places i can go get fresh fish and chips for $10.75 like The Pig Whistle on Geary street and they serve double the amount for that price. Thank you for the good times Camelot ,, stay away from the frozen style and go fresh ,, read more

Not good. I wanted to like this place. I came because of the decent Yelp reviews but I was very disappointed. I ordered the fish and chips and it was just nasty. I barely ate 1/2 of one piece of fish. read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - Very disappointed with the fish - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

Ever get homesick for a place you've never called home? That's me and London. I have only visited London once, but that one time left such an impressions on me. Know what left the biggest impression? Their damn good fish and chips! I was always concerned that I would never be able to get my fish and chips itch scratched outside of London, but Camelot in Pacifica changed my mind. You have got to be mentally prepared if you are visiting Camelot on a Friday evening. Apparently, this is the prime time for fish and chips. It was very crowded and little room for sitting. That, of course, added to the charm of the restaurant. The walls are decked out with old school British paraphernalia. My dining partner found a cozy spot on the counter. I had the half order of fish and chips (comes with one fish) and my friend had the combination (one fish and calamari). Both were delicious! The half portion was perfect for me! I wasn't a huge fan of calamari, but why would you be getting calamari at a fish and chips place in the first place?! The fish was juicy and moist and had the right amount of breading on it. We also got a non-alcoholic butterscotch beer which was very refreshing! I would recommend this place to anyone who loves old school Britain vibes and fish and chips! read more

This place is great. Cool vibe and nothing better than Fish and Chips on the coast. After going a few times and waiting for awhile for the food we got smart and started to call in our order. Wish we had a great place like this in my home area. read more

I went here but for pick up. I ordered a full fish and chips and a full chicken and chips. They definitely don't skimp you on the chips, they give you a lot of chips. The fish was bomb. It wasn't soggy or anything; perfect amount of crisp. Must eat with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. Chips were okay, nothing amazing, but the fish and chicken was so good! A little pricey I would say, but worth it I would say, I spent $25. It's kind of small inside so might be hard finding seating during lunch rushes, but you can always take it to go and eat it near the beach. Would definitely come back. read more

What a find! After we had spent the day at Ocean Beach we had a craving for seafood. A quick check later, we realized it would only be about a 10 minute drive to Pacifica to give this place a try. Less crowded than SF and free parking, count us in. The outside is easy to overlook but the door was open and inviting. It is small but the decor and ambience is GREAT! We had to wait a little for a table that fit us to open up but not long despite the crowd. It is an homage to England in there, lots of visual interest! Also, check out the subtle tribute to English pop culture on the napkin dispensers. I think the two older British women having a discussion really helped fill out the mood this place was aiming for but I think we just got lucky. We chose this place because it seemed family friendly and not over the top in price or atmosphere. It did not disappoint. The baskets are plenty of food and well priced at $12ish depending on what you get, we all had some to take home for later. They were super sweet with our children and had excellent customer servive. I love when places respect children, I feel like it says a lot about their establishment. Kids had chicken, ordered one basket and split it between them. The lady and counter gave us an extra basket to divide it up where they each had their own. They said it was delicious, even my picky one, and couldn't stop talking about how they loved the whole place. I had fish and chips, husband had crabcakes and chips. Both were amazing!! The crabcakes were spiced just right, so yummy. The fish was battered in the best batter I have ever had. The fries are huge and taste so fresh. The tartar sauce was really good, it wasn't too salty like some places. Definitely a good compliment sauce for the fish, I had the crabcakes without it though because they were so good on their own. It was hard to wait for our food to cool down to eat!! I would be interested in trying any of the items on the menu. Other things worth mentioning are the clean restroom and cute bar area. Very cozy for a couple or small gathering of 3 friends. We will definitely be returning on future trips! read more

This spot is a charming little hole in the wall right by the ocean. The fish & chips hit the spot which I washed down with a cold anchor steam. I must admit I also was enjoying their 80s music playlist! If you're for a convenient place near the beach to grab a quick & delicious bite, this is the place. read more

You can't go wrong with Camelot, excellent food and very friendly customer service. During this pandemic they rise to the top.

Great service but you cannot be in a hurry because they make it all fresh. We had the Camelot and there was enough for two of us and very hot Only 7 table tops but enough for how many were in there. Room is cozy but not too loud. read more

My wife and I have been patronizing Camelot for years since we are locals here in Pacifica. I have never been disappointed with the quality and service at this restaurant. Whenever we have a craving for fish and chips, this is the place to go. We love the way our orders are packed (wrapped in newspaper). We had fish and chips when we were in New Zealand and they were prepared the same way as Camelot. Looking forward to our next visit!! read more

Camelot Fish & Chips - Fish & Chips: $11.50 - Seafood Near Me - Pacifica, California

Me & my family got a smorgasbord of grub & took it down to the beach this Sunday and everything was delicious! I had the fish & chips & it was on point, you can tell it was a good quality of fish. The crab cakes were also a pleasant surprise because were all pretty snobby when it comes to using real crab but we decided to try these imitation crab ones & they were really good!! We also ordered fried mushrooms, jalapeño poppers, scallops & chips, & chicken chips ALL of which were really good & very fresh. We will for sure be back!! read more

Best fish , shrimp , chicken and chips of my life . Omg I loooove that vinegar on everything. Great portions always fresh and of course great customer service! !!! Plus I was able to go right across the street and enjoy this excellent meal with my spouse !!! Thank you so much & I'll be back very soon !!! read more

Amazing food ! Crab cakes are the BEST! Brought my friend here and he says Camelot's is better than London's in Hayward.. sort of pricey but worth it! You order first, then you're seated.. read more

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

Talk about "Don't let the door slam your @ss on the way out!" As we walked in we were asked to put on our mask while no others had on masks. Then a nice couple finished their beer and gave us their seats in a hurry so we could sit down and order. We sat down and looked at the menu so we could place our order. Then the same rude old lady approached us again and said if we were ready to order, I replied yes. The old lady knew we were there first and would not take my order. She said you have to get up and wait in line. Now the place is full with customers and people eating mind you, with all the attention on our discussion we walked right out the place with no intention to deal with rude employees like her again, will not return. Terrible service to say the least! Go else where! read more

Great place to eat, woman owned, great beers on tap and extremely friendly service. I'm always excited to come back here!

Last Saturday, Jan 23rd about 3 p.m. we went to give a local restaurant our business. We've been here before, but it's been a few months and their procedures have changed. During COVID we went and you could still order at the restaurant. This time as I asked others outside if they had already placed their order (wanting to wait my turn) but was told by a customer orders have to be called in. There was NO SIGNAGE stating this. I leaned to look at the sign on the door to look for the phone number which was at the bottom in a smaller font than the rest of the sheet. I was interrupted by a non-wearing mask employee asking if I was picking up an order. I've seen her in the past in the kitchen, and believe she's the cook. I explained I was looking for the number. She yelled rudely, "we are not taking anymore walk in orders!" As she walked back towards the kitchen, she further yelled that I shouldn't block the exit for the one customer that was at the table they have set up for the customer they are attending one at a time. I was socially distanced and NOT within 6 feet of that customer, he hadn't turned around to exit yet, and I was only leaning in to look for the number. What a way to treat a potential customer! It really felt like her horrible behavior with us was based on our race. She had not yelled at the caucasian woman who had just walked in there ahead of me when the customer was there too, but for some reason she felt justified to shout at me. She further yelled, "The number is on Google too!" She can't assume we're all using aps and why would I Google the restaurant when I'm standing right there! She didn't lower of her ranting voice tone. Whatever upset her had nothing to do with me, but she felt justified to take it out on me. A younger employee wearing her mask standing at what used to be the counter, inside the restaurant, told me in a professional manner that orders are only being accepted by phone. I thanked her for her professional tone and told her how the other woman yelled is UNPROFESSIONAL, UNCALLED for and RUDE. She said I'm sorry and I could tell she couldn't do anything because perhaps this is her boss. I've been there before COVID and post COVID. I've never been spoken to in that way and here I was trying to give a mom and pop place our business. They had a nice young man with a great humorous attitude that took orders, bussed tables, and distributed beverages purchased. Where'd he go? We left and drove to Half Moon Bay where we enjoyed seafood with a view and were NOT yelled at for trying to read a menu! SHAME ON THE COOK. If you can't take the heat of a busy weekend day, get out of the kitchen. Don't you want the business? NOT GOING BACK!! It's just fish and chips, nothing special about it. And the wait even before COVID was long. But again we were trying to give a local non-chain restaurant out business as we know restaurants are having a hard time. But yelling at your customers is NO WAY to run a business!! Plus, her yelling and NOT wearing a mask creates more aerosols in the air! We should have gone to London Fish in San Bruno, our other local fish & chips place. read more

Quick stop for a good fried seafood meal. (Once a week isn't bad right!) this place has been open for a long time. Nowadays they only take to go orders and if recommend calling the place and pay when your picking up the order to avoid long lines. read more

Fish & chips & beer!! After a nice day of beach-ing and not finding the November issue of Better Homes & Gardens, we sat down for some good fried comfort food. The child loved staring and identifying the stuff on the walls and ceiling, and I loved that I could grab my sweet lumberjack a non-fried Mars bar to enjoy at home. The kid dug into his chicken and I attacked my fish before remembering to ask if they had any lemons. I thought they'd be like fish-and-chip shop fries, but they were strangely more potatoey (starchy?) than I'd expected. It didn't keep me from eating them, though. I'd totally eat them again. I LOVE that you can order half portions. It makes trying more things easier. read more

Man, why oh why do British cuisine spots always leave me disappointed? We ordered "The Camelot" which is basically the Queens grab bag of fried fish, shrimp, scallops and oysters. Sounds freakin' amazing right? Partially right. The oysters and scallops deserved the hype, they taste like they were ripped straight out on Spongebob's cold, dead hands and dropped right in the deep fryer. Juicy, tender, hot and fresh out of the briny deep. The fish and shrimp though... Let clear something up before I get into the fish, shrimp and chips. If you put a sign up outside your business that says "FISH & CHIPS" then I feel strongly that you have the duty, nay, the Moral Obligation, to provide the public with fish and chips that isn't a pile of bland, soggy crap. I try not to get on my high horse about too much stuff, but a man's got to put a line in the goddamn sand somewhere. I don't understand how in the name of Poseidon's moist ass a place like this can make awesome deep fried oysters and scallops (which is a difficult task) and then completely shit the bed on a lowly piece of cod and a couple of taters. One of the great wonders of the world that I will never know, because I won't be back. Oh, and cash only? What are we, savages? read more

Whoa, they remodeled? It looks really cool in here now with all the London kitchiness and old school Guinness pictures. Plus they got brews on tap now. + + + After all these years, I still think Camelot has one of the better fish and chips in the 650. Ordered up their Camelot special, and yes, it came with a lot. Gigantic piece of battered fish, 3 x scallops, 3 x shrimps, and fries all wrapped up traditionally in newspaper with thick slabs of fries. The batter wasn't overflowingly thick but had a had a nice crisp bite to it. Gorton the fisherman would be proud. However, one thing that didn't get upgraded is that they don't accept credit cards? So what, they have a BOFA atm across the street. It's ACROSS the street. In addition, they close at 8pm, even on Friday's?!?! C'mon, even my 89 year old Grandma sleeps later than 8pm. Given the limited eating and hanging out options in Pacifica, this place would and could handle the extra business. Her Majesty the Queen of England herself would want this place to accept credit cards and stay open later than 8pm. read more

The cook/owner of this place is either cheap or has something against minorities, either way she encourages her help to limited the small packets of tartar sauce/ketchup. Plus they won't give take out orders any vinegar, besides the vinegar they sprinkle on the fish themselves. The take out fish and chips they put vinegar on becomes sticky, gooey, and a newspaper filled lump of shit. Also, the owner and staff's demeanor sucks and they expect a tip, too boot. The owner walks around with a smirk like she despises any customer that isn't white. That's why I stopped going there over a month ago. read more
