We've eaten at Little Chinook's many, many times. When the weather is nice, sitting outside by the marina is always pleasant. Nothing fancy but good enough to take out of town visitors. They have two kinds of cod. I always forget the name of the cod I like but I know it's the more expensive one. Delicious! I particularly like that you can order extra pieces of fish and also add pieces of shrimp without having to order a whole meal. We don't want all those fries, as tasty as they are. You order at the counter and wait for them to call your name. There's usually a line. Prices are not cheap, but won't break the bank. My highest rating is not the number of stars I give. It's whether I will return for another meal. Can't eat fried food often but definitely will be back. read more

I heard about this place from my mom! She had came here recently with my dad and really wanted me to try it. We came down today, at the same time the Ballard Seafood Festival was happening. We didn't know where it was taking place per se and hoped it wouldn't detour our plans from coming here! It didn't :) and I must say, what a great addition to the Chinook restaurant. I haven't eaten at the restaurant myself but by far, loved this fast seafood joint! Service is amazing, they make you feel comfortable and I can tell that the team works really well together. If you have questions, they answer it without any problem. They ask if it's here or to-go and will call out your name for the order. My dad and I had the seafood combos with chips and my mom had the breaded oysters with chips. I had a taste of one of the oysters and they're fresh! Clam strips were good and I was very impressed by the prawns and true cod! The cod was breaded very well and crisp. The prawns were a good size and not too breaded. They do serve a lot of fries/chips with their meals and hoped there will be more seafood (my preference anyway). The staff does such a good job at making sure you have everything. Once you get your food, they have the drinks all lined up, along with coleslaw and condiments like tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. If you need extra things, straws, malt vinegar and ketchup are also lined up to take it if you need. I believe you need to ask for utensils if you need it. Not a lot of people today, and they have nice views of the marina, well...when it's a nice sunny day! Next to it is their seafood market: they sell fresh penn cove mussels, clams, salmon, and also have the Tom Douglas rub with love seafood, chicken etc rubs. Love this joint! Will be back sometime! read more

We heard about Little Chinooks from locals in Magnolia so decided to give it a try on a Monday lunch. We ordered the Alaska True Cod and Chips. The dish comes with three large and GIRTHY pieces of cod, generously coated in a panko-breaded batter and fried to the definition of crispy golden brown. It also comes with fries, a side of poppyseed coleslaw, and tartar sauce. The cod itself was flaky and sweet without even a hint of fishiness, and I am very keen on picking up fishiness! I definitely thought it was fresh and high-quality fish. The panko-beaded batter was so crispy and crunchy that it would satiate any food ASMR lover's ears. The crispy batter exterior perfectly complemented the juicy fish interior. When dipped into the tartar sauce, I started grinning ear to ear just from how delicious it all was. The fries were well worth the extra starch and carb intake too, they were fried golden crispy while maintaining a soft interior and well seasoned with salt. The poppyseed slaw was interesting - I thought it was a little too sweet for my liking, but it provides the necessary sweetness and slight acidity to reset your palette from the fried fish and fries. Another aspect I liked was how hot everything came out, signifying it was made to order. Both the fish and fries were hot enough to burn my tongue upon the first heavenly bite, which is great but just be careful! The food also came out fast, and there's also a big parking lot out front for the shops in the area so parking was easy to find. Overall, a convenient and amazing place for lunch! read more

Little Chinooks - Alaska True Cod and Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Lots of parking and fast service. Food okay. Fish and chips cold. Covered outdoor seating or indoor with walls opened to let the wind from water/Marina in. No warm place to sit. Maybe that helped the food get cold fast. Wil try another place next time. read more

Little Chinooks - 1:00 Wednesday - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Light and crispy fish! Lots of condiments like malt vinegar and homemade tarter. The slaw was also light and had a poppy seed dressing. All perfectly complement each other. My favorite fries are also included!! Chowder is always good! Rockfish taco comes with seasonal salsa (peach at end of summer) and a yummy aioli. The chips were hot and delicious as well as the salsa for the chips- which can also be thrown onto the taco. It was a good size and filling. Outdoor seating or indoor that's fast casual style. Seasonal lemonade and overall great menu of options read more

I had this place bookmarked for a while when I was craving fish tacos or something. I got the fish taco and the Boston style clam chowder, and my friend got fish and chips (cod). They were all pretty good but they are a little expensive. Fish and chips looked small for the price, but they were crispy and tasty so it is worth a visit. The space was kept clean and it was a nice place to hang out. read more

Counter service restaurant in Fishermen's Terminal. This is a great place to bring friends and family who want to get a taste of seafood in the PNW without breaking the bank. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Big parking lot out front. The menu has lots of seafood and chips options (platters are mostly $15-20), clam chowder, and fish tacos. The salmon fish and chips are the best ($16.50) and come with 3 pieces of salmon and fries. They cooked everything on order and it came out so fresh and hot. The salmon was cooked to perfection and delicious. Their fries are also good and not to be missed. The Boston clam chowder (16oz, $10) is tasty and very creamy. read more

This place is so good. Their fish and chips are crispy and flaky and flavorful and super fresh. The red chowder is so warming and hearty, the white creamy and brimming with clams. The Ceasar salad is my favorite .... and the slaw is light and tart. Definitely a great stop for out-of-towners since the Marina is right there and the boats are always fun to see. A Seattle Classic. read more

Service was fine, cod fish and chips was tough and dry. Not inedible, but not any better than what you get at a pub.

One of the best fish and chips experience of my life! Salmon and chips were excellent and the battered fish almost melted in my mouth. Service was great and condiments plentiful. It's a great view of all the fishing boats in the marina and you can sit inside or out. read more

The food was so good! The salmon taco was so fresh and well cooked. The seasonal lemonade was sweet and tart and very summery. The chowder was very creamy and rich. The coleslaw was sweet and very fresh, not my favorite, but still good. The service was also pretty great! The server that took our order at the counter was new, so it was a bit slower ordering, but after that the food did come out very fast. Overall I would recommend this place to people in need of good cooked fish. read more

Little Chinooks - seasonal lemonade ( raspberry), salmon taco, coleslaw, clam chowder ( white ) - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Little Chinook's has been around well before I was a Yelper...cool spot to get decent food at Fishermen's Terminal off of Interbay in Magnolia. This was for a revisit on 3/8/21 just for fish and chips for lunch. I joined the masked, socially distanced line as part of the lunch rush. Easy peasy, placed my takeout order, brief wait, and then order in hand and back to my car. Items nicely packed along with tartar sauce, ketchup, coleslaw, utensils, and a napkin provided. Panko crusted trio of true cod filets with seasoned fries. Delicious, but my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Thankfully, The Homie (teenaged Hoover) polished off the rest brought home. Great food to have at Fishermen's Terminal, Magnolia Park, or pandemic dining in one's car or brought home. Quality provided but a bit pricey and comparable to similar orders from Ray's or Duke's. My occasional fish and chips craving usually leans towards Ivar's, for familiarity and budget. Just a nice option, whether Chinook's or Little Chinook's, located just off the Ballard Bridge in Interbay/Magnolia. read more

Great lunch spot! Fries could have been a little fresher but the cod was perfect, and the coleslaw was soooo good! Indoor dining was cramped with how busy they were, but they got my order out quick and I couldn't pass up the chance to get a little vitamin D sitting out in the sunshine. read more

I've been eating her since they opened decades ago. The fish and chips are some of the best I e ever had.

Yum! This place is quality! Delicious and fresh. Nice dockside location. Not cheap, but quality seafood never is!!

Chinooks (nice sit down) then Anthony's(fresh seafood. 4 sale), and then little chinooks (small sit down / take out). Maybe the best fish and chips. Probably best fish - the Highliner chips may be better.quick take our service. Probably best fried true cod around. Also, really refreshing vinegar Cole slaw. read more

Little Chinooks - Seafood combo - Fish & Chips Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Little Chinooks is my go to spot for fish n chips and clam chowder in Seattle. Love the tempura batter that they use for the fish that's super light and crispy. The chowder is also full of goodies and packed with flavor. My wife enjoys the rockfish taco with a nice mix of sweet from the salsa and savory. Highly recommend. read more

Little Chinooks is , by far, the best fish and chips I've ever had in Seattle. The cod fish, in a panko breading, is crispy and void of grease. The fries are tasty and done to perfection. The white clam chowder is fantastic also. All in all, the best fish and chips in Seattle. read more

Excellent fish and chips. I will return again for seconds. I will explore the greater menu as we got a lot of fish for our money this go around. Can't get a better place to eat as well. read more

Little Chinooks fish joint has some of the best deep-fried oysters anywhere in Puget Sound, and their clam strips take second place in the most flavorful deep-fried seafood category. Get an order of clam strips 'n' chips and then add 3 or 4 oysters. That's a great way to maximize your seafood dollar and enjoy the most flavor. I've been coming here for years, and the quality is always the same. I've had everything on the menu as you'll see in the pictures, but clams and oysters are best. Prawns take the 3rd place ribbon. Halibut is also a good fish choice, or you might try the ling cod. Forget the salmon. It isn't exactly disappointing, but it's at the bottom of my list, for sure. The clam chowder? Yes ma'am, it's a winner. Fish tacos? Meh, they're okay. How about some clams and oysters instead? Raison d'être? Seafood and French Fries. I do love those super-crispy seasoned fries! They always come out crunchy 'n' piping hot. The poppy seed coleslaw makes for a great side dish that goes down easy. There are plenty of places to sit outdoors if it's not too chilly, or you can grab a spot on-site (fingers crossed that the glass garage doors are shut to block the wind). One visit here and I guarantee you'll be hooked. There is a ton o' free parking right out front. If you decide to order carry-out, I bet you'll eat most of the fries in the car before you get home. read more

Touched down in Seattle and right away I was craving some local seafood. This place offers several varieties of fish and chips, seafood tacos and other local seafood. The restaurant is right on the dock so whatever your order is fresh off the boat. While you wait for your order you can sit outside by the fishing dock looking out at the water.There is a memorial for fishermen and information about the Washington's fishing community that is worth reading. read more

Fantastic counter service fish and chips. Went with the true cod but they have multiple other options. Friendly staff. My only minor issue was that all of the indoor seating is in-set chairs and tables with no room for a bigger guy like me. We had to sit outside in the cold blustery weather but the food was worth it! read more

Looking for a quick seafood fix? This is the spot! Walk up order service with not decent pricing for seafood. Went on a Saturday and service was quick and wasn't busy. Knocked off a star since it was tasty but not the best I've had - we got the fish taco and chowder. Would go back though! read more

Hands down, best fish & chips around. Also got the fried oysters but they.... Were not that great, maybe I'm just not a fried oysters type of person? Went mid day after the zoo and service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to come back! read more

This little gem is hidden just on the other side of the Chinooks fish shop and main restaurant. If your looking for a quick service, or for a fast to go, this is the place to go to. A quintessential NW luxury is fish and chips and getting it here, literally off the boat is both a treat and a good meal all at the same time. Costs of food have increased dramatically everywhere and this is no exception here as well. Be prepared for a quick dinner for two depending on which fish choice you choose to spend a quick $50.00. However, keep in mind that you are getting extremely fresh fish that is breaded in panko and then deep fried for a quick crust that makes it the perfect compliment to the flakey delicious fish. Add some well seasoned and cooked fries, for me good not over dressed cabbage, and one of the very best chowders out there. I know, there will be a ton of comments and debate about chowder, one of these things that happens, but I do feel that this is one of the better options out there. With the delicious chunks of clams all throughout this chowder, it really is a great choice. Keep in mind that there are three differing sizes of chowder, so you can go for a quick bite, or feed a family of four off the quart of chowder. There are plenty of places to sit and watch the world go by, a great place to sight see the terminal and get your fish and chips on. There a couple of salad options, and a few other options, but this is really a fish and chowder house. The staff was quick efficient and friendly. A great experience. read more

Wow. I'm a fish and chips fiend but can usually always find something wrong between the fish, batter, fries, slaw, or tartar sauce. But all the components of a perfect fish and chips meal were nailed by Little Chinook's! We were waiting in line to pick up fresh tuna from St. Jude's boat at the terminal and got fish and chips for the wait. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. crispy batter, flaky fish, moist but not greasy, crispy fries with soft insides that didn't get soggy over the period of time it took me to inhale my meal, very generous with the tartar sauce (I usually run out), and a lovely coleslaw!!!! I'm blown away!! I can't imagine how you could be closer to fresh fish. Even the pike place area is so popular I wonder if they get their fish from the piers. Now I'm in bed five hours later and still full and content and reminiscing an amazing meal. Definitely worth a stop. I'll certainly be back! read more

I love this place, it's fast and convenient. The service is great. The seafood is fresh. I get the seafood combo literally every time, the shrimps are lovely,, the clams are great. Sometimes I add a salmon, and it's delicious too. However. The fries, otherwise known as 'chips', are not good. They're straight out of a frozen Sysco box or whatever. They're terrible. My only advice here is to shred real potatoes and it'll make the fish and chips memorable and far better. Why would any place use these horrible fries? read more

YUM! What a great options to get some fish and chips to-go without actually sitting inside their larger restaurant. Standing in line was about 10 minutes or so, 3-4 groups ahead, and about 10 more minutes to get our food. For the base price with cod--you get 3 pieces of fish, fries, and coleslaw; it is such a good deal for the amount you get. We also sampled the clam chowder--thick creamy, and a good ratio of clams to potatoes to etc. This place is close enough that we could grab takeout from here in the future. Employees were following COVID guidelines and very kind. read more

Quick service, nice employees, nice outdoor area in the summer. Salmon Caesar Salad was pretty good, but would probably stick to fish and chips in the future. read more

Really enjoyed this place, before going in took a walk around the pier to see the mementos to all the people lost at sea. Being of both Norwegian and Croatian heritage, I have many ties to fishermen. Came inside Little Chinook's and was welcomed by the helpful staff. They genuinely wanted to help us get the best food possible. We took their advice and got the clam and chips, wild salmon and chips and seafood combo and chips. First off, their white clam chowder was really good and I appreciate a place that also offers Manhattan style red chowder. When our food arrived, it looked great. All of the seafood was cooked really nicely here, not dried out at all, even the clam strips Which can be hard to cook evenly. As we ate, there is a pleasant view of the boats and swooping seagulls in the background. A great spot; with good seafood, helpful service and stunning views. And it is inexpensive for all of this. read more

At the Ballard area fisherman's wharf, at the S.W. corner of the Ballard bridge. Amazing halibut and chips ! but not inexpensive . . . still, I always splurge for this. It is a walk up style, with outside tables under a roof area. Take the time to wander the piers enjoying the small and very large fish trawlers, crab boats, etc on the left side and to the north. read more

Meh, forgettable. We are tourists and we're hankering for some basic fried seafood in the Seattle area but it seems most places we could find were trendy, fusion type places on one end of the scale or extremely expensive on the other end. We found Little Chinooks on Yelp and the great reviews led us there for lunch. We spent $40 for a seafood combo and fries, a salmon and fries and a coke. The salmon was tasty and breaded well. The whitefish in the seafood combo was also tasty, however there were only 2 small pieces, together with 1 shrimp, and a handful of clam strips that were 80% batter ... could barely taste any clams. In both meals, the serving of fries was tiny and the fries tasted just like the type you'd get from a frozen bag at your local grocery store. Certainly not fresh. For the price we paid, we were expecting a lot more however the meal was forgettable and not something we'd spend money on again. 2.5 stars. read more

Great fish and chips. Both filling & tastes great. The service and location are good as well. The indoor area is simple & nice. It would get five stars if it wasn't for the restaurant having such high prices for a standard/simple meal. read more

Zero complaints. This is a walk-up shop outside of the bigger "Chinooks" restaurant. The walk-up serves primarily fish and chips and a few seafood-based salads. Even with the long line, we got our food pretty quickly. The seasoned fries (sorry, chips) are delicious. The fish portions are not huge, which was appreciated. It's a bit pricey for what you get, but it's overall a nice meal and it's nice sitting next to the marina. read more
