The Fish on my tacos were super thin and over fried. Some spots were unbreaded, just burnt fish fillet. The beans are canned. Nothing special is done to them. Just reheated in my view. It's a bummer this place is not like the original crew who always served quality cuts of fish and the fish was fried perfectly. read more

My husband said that it's his childhood favorite food. And still is his favorite place. fish & Chips. He ordered Captain's basket. I am not crazy about fish & chips. But I did regretted for not ordering one for myself after I bit from my husband's. Perfect battering. Perfect fish! Last time he ate there about 45 years ago. He said that when he bit the fish, it brought him a many great memories and believe it or not, it tastes SAME!!! So delicious. Can't wait to go back to order one for myself!! Whoever reviews low stars, don't be liars. read more

Came here around 6:30pm on Sunday to get some fish and chips. This place was super busy so I had high expectations. I ordered the 3 piece fried fish basket with fries. It took about 20 minutes to come out, but it was worth the wait because it was really tasty with a light, ultra crispy batter and 3 huge pieces. This would easily be 5 stars if there was a better fish to breading ratio. Great place to get a snack or email, I'm impressed. read more

Not often you have such high expectations of a place, only to have them dashed before my eyes. I've been a fan of Harbor Fish South in Carlsbad for decades. Even going as far as still coming back out every few months or so after moving out of the city. In my youth, I had come up to the Oceanside Harbor on multiple occasions, almost always coming to the northern site of Harbor Fish when I did. The huge shark jaw on display never failed to awe and the cartoon fisherman on the walls still make me smile. Years later, with out of town friends coming to the coast on vacation, we spent a few hours at the beach and I convinced them to head into Harbor Fish with tales of loving it growing up and how brilliant the fish batter and tartar sauce was. So, we cleaned up the kids, changed our clothes, and walked back to the harbor to face the long lines and excitedly order some of that delectable food. Man, what a disappointment. The fish was still as good as I expected, but the menu here was a bit different than down south. There's no shame in that, but when your wife wants you to order a combo of a good sized plate of breaded shrimp with a piece of fish alongside and all you can see are plates of two big fish and two jumbo shrimps, the complaints start to roll in. The Chowder was bland. The Fried Clams had a bit of sand or grit in it. And the Tartar Sauce (of which my wife feels is the best she ever had over at Harbor Fish South) was just ... wrong. The huge dip in flavor and consistency honestly felt like if RC Cola made their own version of tartar sauce and tried to pass it off. Seriously, after dinner, I actually apologized to my friends at how sub-par everything was. It's not clear if this was caused by the summer crowds, the quality suffering from the tourists forming the lines out the door. Or if this is just indicative of the shop itself. Regardless, if you're in the mood for great fish and chips with the tartar sauce you know and love, you might be better served heading down to Carlsbad. Harbor Fish here can do in a pinch, but the bump in taste and quality is definitely worth the trip south. read more

The wife and I decided to take a drive with the top down, and we set our sights on Oceanside Harbor Fish & Chips for lunch. On a couple of previous visits to the Oceanside harbor we attempted to dine at this establishment but the lines were quite long and we settled for another venue. But today we were surprised to see that tables were available, and placing an order was quite easy at the time we arrived. Shortly after our arrival all tables were occupied, but we had our alfresco spot (smile). I placed our order: 1 Sampler plate consisting of a single fish filet, 2 fried prawns, fries, cold slaw, and a cup of New England clam chowder. In addition I purchased a single piece fish plate with a tossed green salad. The price was reasonable and prepared quite quickly. The fish and chips were on par with our tastebuds; the cold slaw was extremely tasty and fresh with just the right amount of mayo and remaining on the healthy side. I highly recommend for casual dining on a sunny California afternoon. My reason for the four star rating is based on the absence of draft beer, and the paltry selection available in bottles. read more

Came here for a late lunch/early dinner with the hubs for our day date. Neither of us have been here in more years than we can remember but, happy to see that nothing has changed. We were both pleasantly surprised at the service and the quality of food. The girl behind the counter was helpful in explaining the special and was extremely personable and sweet. Food came out maybe 10 minutes after we sat down and was piping hot, just the way I like it. The prices have definitely gone up but the quality of food, portion size and the lovely view from the outdoor patio made it worthwhile.

No. It's a fish shop and they might be real sailors working here. JK! But this place was packed during winter break at 2pm. We had the fish tacos which were ginormous, I could barely get down one and I ordered two! My kids LOVED the fish sticks and the clam chowder. The food came out piping hot, plenty of tartar sauce, and the fish breading was soooooo crunchy. Even the thought of how crunchy it was makes my mouth water. Def come check it out. read more

Called to see if I could place an order to go and sure enough, I could. To top it off it was ready in about 15 minutes which was the perfect amount this time for me to order, drive over from the Strand and circle the parking lot a few times to get a spot. The girl on the phone was super friendly as well as the employees inside when I picked up my order. The place is simple, no frills but appeared to be clean. The fish and chips were good. The fish was light and flakey. It was very fresh. Loved the batter on the fish! It was light but super crispy. I have to say it did need salt and so did the fries. The fries were also a bit soggy and needed to be cooked a little longer for some crispness. Overall a good experience. read more

I really wanted to love this place because the employees are nice, the location is great, and the portions are huge and they LOOK appetizing. But thats as far as the good got for me. If you have ever been to Spencer McKenzies in Ventura, CA this is NOT that. Once we got the food I could see that the fish was extremely greasy to the point that the grease was dripping off my fish and onto my lukewarm fries below. The fries had zero flavor. Like none. Not a piece of salt or seasoning. The fish was fried beautifully, but also had zzzeeeerrrrooooo flavor. The quality of the fish itself seemed good. However, I just couldn't get past the lack of flavor. read more

New England Fish and Chips snob here. You like fish and chips? I mean authentic, old skool, old world, east coast fish and chips? Then get down to Harbor Fish and Chips in Oceanside, CA. I absolutely will NOT eat any West Coast fish and chips anywhere else EXCEPT Harbor fish and Chips. They get everything right -- the Fish -- huge servings of cod, deep fried but still soft enough to melt in your mouth (and sometimes they give you an extra piece, don't ask me why, I never complain about it!) -- Fries -- thick cut, homestyle potato fries with malt vinegar on the table for the real northeast Fish and Chip snobs like me (ketchup is barbaric, people, and ranch is an abomination!) -- plus other great sides like rings or a huge side salad. The menu has everything you would expect in a place like this including delicious burgers but let's face it -- it's Harbor FISH AND CHIPS -- and THAT is the best thing about this place: they have the best Fish and Chips in ALL of California. Service is fast and great, atmosphere is perfect with authentic local fishing decor. And you ca eat outside to enjoy the harbor view or do some people watching during the tourist season. But I must warn you, this place gets PACKED OUT in the summer. But the food is well-worth waiting for. read more

My friend and I were in front of the Harbor Fish and Chips in Carlsbad last week when the No King's protest was ending so we went in to have something to eat and within minutes every table was completely taken. The wait staff was unbelievably quick in taking orders, and just as quickly our food was served. I am not joking when I say the fish and chips that I had there that day was the best I have ever had. The crust was thoroughly crisp plus the fish was not overcooked. The french fries were just as crisp and perfect. Whenever I go to a new fish restaurant I always order fish and chips and I am often disappointed because the crust is often soggy on the inside. That was not the case. Our waitor Philippe was busy with a number of tables but prompt in assisting us throughout our meal.. An added feature is that the restaurant is located with a perfect view of the ocean. What more could you want! read more

We only stopped in for drinks, but you know, that did not happen. Now let's talk about the fresh, amazing ceviche tostada, because this thing deserves its own paragraph, its own applause, and honestly maybe its own mural. The fish, "Wow"...packed with flavor, Fresh...fresh. The citrus? Bright enough to wake your soul. The seasoning? Balanced like it studied meditation. And the fresh avocado? Thick, creamy slices that sit on side like royalty. This tostada didn't come to play, it came to change your mood, your day, and possibly your future plans. Now my martini is talking...ha ha ha. It's the kind of dish that makes you consider ordering two more "just to confirm the flavor profile." "Bloody Mary Oyster Shots" These shots were dangerously delicious. Spicy, briny, bold, and smoother than a pickup line from someone who actually knows what they're doing. You take one and immediately think: "Yep... we're definitely doing another round." They were fresh, flavorful, and honestly? A little too good. The kind of shot that makes you question why you ever settled for regular Bloody Marys in your life. This was the main reason for stopping by, the "Amazing Dirty Filthy Martinis" Ah yes... the dirty filthy martinis, the ones you enjoyed at the bar while soaking in the ambience and plotting your next visit. Perfectly chilled. Perfectly briny. Perfectly filthy. Mmmmmm hmmmm, These martinis were so good they should come with a warning label. And the bartenders? On point. Skilled, fast, friendly, and clearly proud of their craft. You can tell they're the type who could make a martini blindfolded and still nail it. The ceviche tasted like Poseidon himself personally approved it. The oyster shots were so good they convinced me to order a few more rounds. So delicious! And those martinis? Filthy enough to make you blush, classy enough to make you behave. This place is clean, elegant, delicious, and run so well. Special thanks to the staff and management! "Enjoying life...One bite...one sip at a time, foodie & drinkie style!" Miguel C.

Shoots Beer & Tacos understood the assignment…read more I ordered the fish and shrimp taco combo because choosing just one felt emotionally impossible. Both were fantastic, but the shrimp taco absolutely stole the show. I'd happily start a fan club for that taco. Then there was the Mango Tajín beer...tangy, sweet, spicy, refreshing, and basically summer in a glass. Whoever thought of putting those flavors together deserves a high five. The ordering is easy cafeteria-style, but don't panic--you don't have to awkwardly balance a tray while searching for a table. Just order, grab a seat, and they'll bring everything to you. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, it's dog-friendly (major points), and parking was surprisingly painless. Great tacos, fun drinks, easy parking, and dogs are welcome? That's what I call a quadruple threat. I'll definitely be back...mostly because I'm pretty sure that shrimp taco and I have unfinished business.

The other entrees varied around the table. Our server, Melissa, was friendly and efficient taking our orders. It was happy hour until nine on Tuesday. We took advantage. Drinks came soon and the food was not far behind. The shrimp was particularly tasty and the snapper had a nice seasoning. The vegetables were cooked just right and there was an ample portion of rice. Everyone was so happy with the entrees, we ordered dessert. The bread pudding and caramelized brownie was split around the table and topped off a good meal. The restaurant sits right on the harbor and it's pretty chill sitting there looking at the boats. A very comfortable place. When in Oceanside, give this place a try.

Worst of all: the lobster. Nowhere near 1/2 pound as the menu says. No flavor. Poorly cooked and chewy. My lobster tail had black char marks on it from where they burnt it. Horrible experience. Waste of money and time. We will never return.

I really love this place. It's a local gem in Oceanside. The food and drinks are always good. The service is great and the vibe is always good too.

The service has usually been good, which makes today's experience especially disappointing. I came in with a party of 10, and from the moment we arrived, our waitress was incredibly rude and had an attitude toward every single one of us for no apparent reason. Throughout the entire meal, her behavior continued. At one point, I politely asked for something to accompany my meal, and she told her manager that I had yelled at her. I never raised my voice. After I questioned a few items on my bill, she became even more rude toward both me and my party. What disappointed me just as much was the manager's response. Rather than approaching us to hear our concerns or understand our side of the situation, she immediately began defending the waitress and explaining how upset the waitress was because of how we had supposedly treated her. The manager also justified the waitress's behavior by explaining that she was stretched thin due to low staffing, as if being understaffed were a reasonable excuse for treating paying customers disrespectfully. Not once did she ask us about our experience or give us an opportunity to explain what had happened. After this experience, I will not be returning or recommending this establishment to others. There are plenty of places to spend your money where you can expect to be treated with basic courtesy and respect.

What I received was a tiny burrito (see picture) with no salsa. When I went back in to ask for salsa, they handed me several Heinz taco sauce packets. Seriously? I'm not asking for fresh made salsa/pico here, but at least some store bought salsa, even Tapatio would suffice. When I bit into my burrito, I felt and heard a loud crunch. The tortilla was overcooked and crunchy. I also had to wait 10 minutes for my burrito to cool down enough to edible levels. The "Italian sausage" advertised was hot dog. Literal hot dog. Ridiculous! I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that their seafood and sandwiches are better, but I'm never eating here again, so I guess I'll never know. +1 star for said benefit of the doubt. *Note: The prices advertised are not current. When I asked the cashier why the burrito was $3 more than advertised, she pointed to a tiny sticky note on the menu that was curved so far it was not immediately readable that stated, "Prices are subject to change." No explanation, just point.

We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.

August 4, 2017 *(My birthday) Well we have been coming here for a very long time and have sent many friends to eat here. I noticed the last two visits that the fish & chips was off but I could not put my finger what the issues were until now! They are not using fresh fish they are using that nasty dried salted fish not even sure if it is even cod? This is the same junk H Salt fish & Chips uses which is why no one eats there any more. I took my 3 pieces of fish apart and looked at it and saw it was a clearish in color meaning it was from dried fish that was soaked in water to bring back to life. The fish was so greasy this has been the norm the last 3 times but again I thought maybe they had a new cook so I tried again but it was the exact same, nasty! I fond this fish so disgusting and was not able to eat it after finding out what it was. Only some who know real fish would even know that this is from dried salted fish and indeed not fresh. This fish had a bad smell to it like old dried fish which I had notice before I even tasted it. We do thing the shrimp and pineapple are good but would never come back due to this being the 3rd time it has happened to us, but never again! read more

Hot, Crispy, Delicious--and Potentially a Fingerprint Removal Service! Harbor Fish & Chips absolutely nailed it! The service was fast, the fish was fresh, and the batter was perfectly crisp without being greasy or oily. Basically, fish & chips done right. The only warning? This food is HOT. As in, "Do I want this delicious lunch badly enough to sacrifice the skin on my fingertips?" hot. If you're brave enough to pick up your meal before it cools down, prepare to burn off a few fingerprints. Totally worth it. The fries were fantastic--perfectly crispy on the outside with that soft, fluffy middle. And the fish ketchup? The perfect topping. I'm not sure what magic is happening there, but keep doing it! Bonus points for the excellent music playing through the speakers. Great food, fast service, good tunes, and just enough danger to keep lunch exciting. Five stars! Would happily risk my fingerprints again. read more

There are a few things I really love about this place. For starters, its right in the harbor, some days there are even seals sitting on the pier! Now the restaurant is wonderful. Obviously I recommend the fish and chips. The portions are huge. Last time I went I got the two fish meal and probably could have just gone with one filet and fries and been full. The only issue was that the fish had more of a fryer taste than a fish taste... It may be time to change the oil. Otherwise, the food is truly delicious. Definitely a must try if you're ever in Oceanside! read more

You can't beat it for the money. The atmosphere, the location, the food and the price. They have the best fish tacos in all of San Diego County. My 2 guys had the basket with 3 fillets and fries. I ordered the 2 fish tacos because I was promised that if I couldn't finish, they'd help. Promises promises. My fish tacos were too big for the plate. Seriously. They're huge.

The food arrived when it was supposed to and although I live quite a distance away, it was still warm-to-hot. Nothing was soggy. We ordered BBQ ribs, southern-fried catfish, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried okra, fried-green tomatoes, beans, and cornbread. I wanted to order mac and cheese but could not find it on the menu as a side or à la carte dish. The catfish was just so-so for me. I ate a couple of bites with a little of the restaurant's hot sauce and tartare sauce and did not like it at all. My mouth puckered and it tasted too salty and acidic. However, when I ate it without the sauces it was fine, but a little ho-hum. The BBQ ribs tasted good and the BBQ sauce was not too salty. We ordered both the small and large sizes of ribs. All of the meat in the small size was good, but a significant portion of the meat in the large size contained too much inedible fat, gristle, and some bones. It appeared they gave us all good meat in the small and for the large they added big chunks of marginal meat to make it a large. The seasoned breading on the fried-green tomatoes didn't appeal to me. I like my own better. We all liked the fried okra. All of it was fried to golden brown and all pieces of okra maintained their shape and texture. None of it was overcooked. The beans were delicious. There was sugar in the cornbread but it was not too sweet. The mashed potatoes and gravy were average like you would make at home, but they did not taste like fake or dried potatoes. Nothing without the condiments added tasted overly-salty like the food does from most BBQ/southern/soul food restaurants. I appreciated that. I do not eat a lot of fried food, but Felix's satisfied my southern-food craving. When I crave it again, I will order from Felix's, adjusting my order for what I liked this first time.
