Such a cute find mannnnn. Just got done with a boat tour and saw a crowd at this place. Heard an old lady passing by say she's gotten fish and chips here since she was little. Sold. Asked and paid for 1 fish and chips and they gave me two :) better than Gordon Ramsey's fish and chips in NYC. Love me a restaurant ran by youths, it really screams summer! read more

We were super happy with our experience here! The food came out really quick and everything was fresh and hot. The clam chowder had more potato than clams which was fine but the flavor was delicious. We sat outside next to the boats in the harbor since it was a beautiful day and really enjoyed that atmosphere. read more

Nothing bad to say, nice fish and chip plate, better view of the marina. Birds seem to love it. Self order and pick up so no service notes. Plenty of free parking so I like that, fun good walk around the marina. Cole slaw is a killer!! Best I've had in a while. read more

We try to eat here when we're in town. Been a couple of years. Like everywhere else prices are high. The shrimp cocktail was excellent. Chips were great. The fish was good. It was half the thickness it was before. Still a good spot for dinner. Then we went to the harbor and walked past the other harbor fish and chips spot and saw the same dinner but the fish was how it was supposed to be thick. read more

It's been years since I had harbor fish and chips and it still tastes great! We decided to walk the harbor and down to the beach. On the way back it was a perfect spot to eat before heading home. I loved that they had an ingredient book handy for when I told them about my daughter's allergies. Service was friendly, we must of got there right when people were leaving because we got a table real quick and the food came out fast. Everything was amazing and they have a nice sauce area to grab yourself. Inside was very shark and fishing theme and my son loved it. The fish was well battered and hot and the French fries were fried to perfection. It's a great day trip if you looking for something to do for a few hours read more

Loved this place!! First off I never even knew this little harbor existed but it was a pleasant surprise. Found parking about a block away and took a stroll right past Joes Crab shack over into Harbor Fish & Chips. There are nice tables outside and quite a few inside. Walked right up and the kind young man took my order, it was all very quick and simple. I got my ticket and found a seat. The decor is cool with large shark teeth behind plexiglass and more fish up on the walls. My order came out super fast!! My piece of fish was large, hot, crispy and flakey!! The fries are your average fries nothing special. There is a help yourself soda machine, and station for ketchup & tartar sauce On the tables are napkins and my personal favorite malt vinegar. I sat alone and devoured my meal, it was really good I only wished I had gotten a two piece. I will come back when I'm in the area, I can't wait!! read more

They also have big cups to put the condiments in. Wife had the Friday special. 1 piece fish, 2 pieces of shrimp, cold slaw, fries, and chowder, witch we split. All in all recommended. Also has a nice view of harbor. Price for two people one drink was $42. read more

I wish I could give this place a good review. But I'm a foodie and I expect good quality, especially when you're paying good prices.. I ordered a Chef daily special of fish and chips and prawns. The tartar sauce came out of a jar, so it was not homemade and all mayonnaise based and just gross.. The fish was so thin and only 20% of the fish was fish, and 80% was the batter. Completely blew me away.. I'll never go back here read more

We ate here a couple years ago and really enjoyed it so we decided to return today and unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. OMG THE OIL. Probably the oiliest food I've ever had... The fish was shriveled up inside of the batter so it was basically like eating a big hunk of fried oily dough. No matter how many napkins I used, we couldn't stop sopping up the oil. I could see the people at the table next to us doing the same, so I knew it wasn't just our plate. Other than that, the portion sizes were fine and the french fries and coleslaw weren't bad. But the fish and the shrimp we're just barely palatable. read more

I was really craving fish and chips and glad I came across this spot. I got the sampler which is a great value for all you get! You get a big piece of a fish, 2 shrimps, a lot of fries, clam chowder, and coleslaw, plus a bunch of sauces for dipping. All of it was very fresh and the breading was crisp. This place is right on the harbor but there's also a cute little surfers beach just a short walk away where I was able to eat and watch the sunset on the beach. This is a great fish and chip spot in Oceanside! read more

Service was good, the young man behind the counter was very enthusiastic when he shouted out our number and the portion size was incredible. The view gorgeous! But after that I have nothing left. The amount of grease on the food was just plain disrespectful and when I say zero flavor I do mean zero. The poor little shrimp were surrounded by what felt like a flavorless puffer coat of breading.

We were at the nearby Mission and a local fellow recommended Harbor to us. Great suggestion! Thank you, friend. The fish is exquisite. Thin crispy batter, huge portions, and so delicate inside. And even better with the perfectly mixed tartar sauce. The beans...oy vey. Almost had to spit it out. SUPER sweet with a brown sugar and ketchup syrupy texture. For us, totally inedible. read more

This is a very fun, casual restaurant at the Oceanside Harbor. It's been there for as long as I can remember! I love the old school paintings on the walls and the big swordfish hanging from the ceiling. They are really good at frying food. The quality of the fish is great, but I think they put too much breading on their fish. This is a place where you order at the counter and pick up your food when they call your number. The prices are a bit high, but I think it's all about the location. If you love fish and chips, I think this is a great place to try. I think the servings are generous. I couldn't finish my order. read more

Honestly, I went here to eat and just got the sampler as it's a good choice to go with. Good wasn't great, the fish was oily and it was okay. Shrimp was fine, the fries a little soft for my taste. The slaw was nice, and the chowder was extremely boring and plain. Nothing was downright horrible, but it isn't really something I would want to pay money for to eat again. To be nice, the environment was nice, and the setting of the place was good. The server was also really nice and kind, so that was a plus on the establishment at least. Overall nothing was horrible, but wouldn't be a place I would necessarily recommend. read more

Are you a sociopath? I have been enjoying Harbor Fish & Chips for almost 20 years. My wife for about 35+ some odd years give or take on a good day. This place is fantastic for families, tourists, and locals. Huge mix of people enjoying the fresh O-side taste. Don't be afraid of the lines or intimidated by the ordering counter. The people up there are friendly and ready to get you the right meal experience. The fish- mmmMMMMmmm. How else can you describe the perfect fried fish. I lived in Alaska and this is reminiscent of some the best I've ever had. Onion rings- crunchy and perfectly cooked. (No ranch available) The coleslaw - so fresh and dressed to perfection. Not under dressed like the people walking by. Not overdressed like being on an Amish farm. Burgers - if you're not a fish fan they have other menu items that will make you just as happy and full. Oceanside has more beautiful days than poor days. Enjoy a seat outside in the sun. If it's not your cup of tea then you can sit inside. If you're cold but want to see the harbor then there is a seat in the enclosed patio. Either way it's all first come/seat yourself. You really have to be a sociopath if you can't find something you like at Harbor Fish & Chips. read more

Super huge ginormous fish and chips! You order your meal at the front and then seat yourself and pickup at the counter. There is outside seating right in front of the harbor. We got the captain's special to share as it was HUGE. Came with a lot of fries, 2 shrimp and 2 fish. Tartar sauce tasted super yummy with the fish and shrimp. The piece of shrimp was giant and juicy. Fish was a bit thin, but it was a good batter to fish ratio. Super crowded around lunchtime. read more

Standard fried fish?…read more We arrived in the afternoon after renting a boat for a couple hours in the harbor. The place was busy, but not overly so. We ordered a basket of fish and chips, shrimp and chips, some clam chowder and fried zucchini. Maybe it was all the fried food on such a hot day, but we weren't really feeling it. My husband said the batter and the food lacked flavor. All the sauces came from packaged dispensers. I feel like the value for your money wasn't really there. But something should be said for the great location and being able to eat on the water.

The kind of view where you catch yourself staring at the water like you're in a dramatic movie scene, contemplating life, love, and whether you should order another martini. But today the bar area and atmosphere captured our attention. The place is clean, elegant, and effortlessly classy. Not pretentious, just that perfect "I'm on the coast living my best life" energy. The atmosphere is warm, breezy, and polished enough that even the silverware feels like it pays rent. Service was excellent, the team took care of us like VIP guests at a private tasting. Attentive, friendly, and smooth. No chaos, no attitude, no disappearing acts. Just genuine hospitality that makes you think, "Yeah... this is why Oceanside stays winning." 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.

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.

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."

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

The clam chowder was just okay and nothing particularly special. The sea bass with garlic butter was a little bland and definitely needed some hot sauce or tartar sauce for extra flavor. The Spanish rice also tasted like it had been sitting out for a while and was a little dry. I did appreciate that the black beans came topped with some cheese and were served in a little tostada bowl - a nice touch. The fish and chips were hands down the best thing we ordered. The fish had a super crispy batter and the fries were crispy as well. Definitely the standout of the meal.
