Seafood counter at the store next to the restaurant.
Karen T.

Amazing! We found a new favorite place for fish n chips and fresh seafood next door! We got 3 different meals and shared when we got home. Halibut, cod, clam strips and chowder. I can't tell the difference between the cod and halibut so I usually just order cod. Oh and don't forget to grab salmon candy from the guy behind the counter.

We tried this place and grabbed a few meals before going to watch a Portland Pickles vs. Ridgefield Raptors post season game. We got it to-go and realized we couldn't bring it in the stadium so we grabbed a picnic blanket and ate before going into the park. The halibut/fries are good but are all previously frozen and bit on the pricey side for the size/portion. We also grabbed the shrimp and fries combo and a few salads and crab sandwiches. The crab sandwiches were a hit! We even grabbed an additional order of the patties (solo) to eat with a salad so that some of us didn't have to eat bread. The fresh fish market is right next door so flies are a bit of a problem but overall a great alternative to a ballpark hot dog!

I have nothing bad to say. The halibut was excellent. Not greasy. Not overcooked. Fries were good. They have that somewhat crunchy texture on the outside. Those are my favorite. There's some outside seating there as well as patio, yard area, and inside at 3Peaks tap room. We ordered from the taproom and it was brought to us. I'd say we'll definitely be back.

Bought some smoked black cod

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Not too busy at the cafe, but when we ordered at the counter they were behind on orders coming from next door (3 Peaks brewery) so they gave us a 30 minute wait time for our food. We agreed since we had just purchased some smoked black cod from the fresh seafood market next door. We also ordered some clam chowder with our two piece halibut fish and chips and they gave us that right away, so that was perfect! Staff is very friendly and helpful in both places. They have plenty of outdoor seating in front of the seafood market and picnic tables in front of the cafe. The smoked fish was really yummy. The clam chowder had great flavor as well; tasted a little cheesy?! I love a thick clam chowder, so it was right up my alley. We were a little disappointed in the halibut fish and chips. The fillets were overcooked, making the breading overly crispy and borderline burnt tasting. The fries were okay, but a bit soggy from the fish fillets laying on top. There were quite a few options in the refrigerator cases in the seafood market we may come back and try. We saw some fish and non fish cheesy dips and pasta salads that looked good. Overall a good first visit. The wait can be long since they also take orders from 3 Peaks next door. If the wait is too long for you, meander into the seafood market for ready to eat options as well as fresh seafood to take home and cook. Would recommend.

Coconut Shrimp and Chips

Been going here for years and this was what I got for coconut shrimp! Are you kidding me it looks like fish sticks! So disappointing for how expensive it is!

I have seen their sign off I-5 for many years and finally had to take the exit on my way back to Portland and give them a try. Oh man! I really shouldn't have waited so long. The fish and chips were so fresh and delicious and they have an amazing finish market with many local area fresh seafood like crab, Shrimp, Scallops and fish like salmon and halibut along with oysters and mussels to name a few. Come get some fresh flavorful seafood here if you get a chance.

This is their fresh seafood melt bread. Yum.

I finally made it up to the spot. It's a little bit of a drive from my house, but I think worth it! The store has so many fresh fish options. It's crazy. Also several kinds of oysters and clams. They do in-house smoked salmon, which is amazing! The store has several condiment options and some cute logo stuff. The employees were super helpful and nice. They answered my questions and were very pleasant. They have a small wine collection that has some good choices as well. So happy to have found this fresh fish place that I definitely will return to .

This was our first time PNWB and boy was it a treat. We preferred online for a quick pickup and go. Once we arrived the parking lot was full. You make your way up a ramp to a pick up window for to-go orders. You quickly notice other activity on the property. I asked the gentlemen who met me at the window what's all the activity about? He let me know that there are three businesses on the property, one owner. There is the cafe that has limited outdoor seating and mainly caters to to-go orders. They also have a seafood market where you can by fresh seafood. On Theo there side of the property they have a full restaurant that serves seafood. The area can get pretty busy, he remarked, when the weather is nice. We ordered two halibut and chip plates. The halibut is lightly battered and definitely moist. They offer one, two and three piece plates. I ordered two and was surprised at how large the pieces were. Plenty for one person when you add the French fries and coleslaw. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. A yummy experience Reasonably priced... do yourself a favor and stop by and pick some good seafood to-go or stay a while in the restaurant and chill.

First time eating here and it was amazing and great! Loved the fish and chips and mahi mani tacos!

I haven't been able to find a good fish and chips spot out here that has panko breaded fish and not beer battered. Stopped by the other day and was pretty disappointed. The service was not that great. The girl we spoke with seemed like she was in a rush or a hurry and wasn't friendly at all. We stood and waited and a guy ended up taking our order at the window. We got the chicken quesadilla and a 3 piece fish and chips. The quesadilla was tasty and flavorful, but instead of giving you a side of salsa, they add it into the quesadilla, which was fine, but I would still prefer a side of it with no charge because it definitely was not enough salsa in it. The fish and chips looked so delicious but was not worth near $30. I would rather eat at Burgerville and have a 5-piece fish and chips order for less than $30 and much more flavorful and delicious compared to this place. Wasn't impressed at all and don't think I'll be returning any time soon.

2 halibut fish & chips with cole slaw
Chris L.

Family brought us here on a Sunday (for Father's Day) because it's not far from our house and for the rave reviews. They have a store with fresh (uncooked) seafood, and then they have an outdoor area with seating to order lunch/dinner food. They have a nice menu and lots of things I wanted to try. I decided to get the halibut fish & chips, since it's a specialty of theirs, plus a cup of clam chowder. The halibut was great - panko fried and reminded me of a couple fried tuna joints on the coast that I love. The price was steep for what you get, but I don't know of another place in the Portland metro area with something similar. The clam chowder also was good, as was the cole slaw. Others got the cod sandwich (good) and fried clams (good). There's a brewery nextdoor with lots of indoor & outdoor seating, so next time we may go over there with our food plus the dogs. Staff were friendly. I'd come back again.

Love the simple fish market. Brigham Fish proves that great seafood doesn't require cloth napkins…read moreand tablecloths. They've got a few tables inside, a few outside. Seat yourself. Help yourself to water. Perfect. Speaking of perfection, my oysters and chips were among the best I've ever eaten. I had asked if they were local, and was assured that these small morsels of joy were from Washington. The portion of sea gems was huge (15-20?). Perfectly battered and nestled on crispy fries. I love it when your first bites singe your tongue, reminding you that your meal is fresh! I'm not a fan of coleslaw, but Brigham's was better than most. Speaking of most, the Brigham crew was the most friendly and kept checking with each table to see how we were doing, without being intrusive. Kudos to two of the crew who handled a very demanding table next to me, BTW. This is a solid recommendation for anyone who wants a variety of fresh seafood and a wonderful ambiance to enjoy it in.

I was staying in Astoria, looking for a good fish and chips, and I found this place. it's only…read moreabout 10 minutes from Astoria, not far at all. The place was clean, and everybody was friendly. Half of the place is the bar, half of the place is the restaurant. They even have a small gift shop in the corner of the restaurant. When you first walk in, you check in with the bartender, and then you just find a seat in the restaurant. I was served quickly. I decided to go for a cup of the smoked clam chowder, and the rockfish fish and chips. You have several different choices of what kind of fish you want for your fish and chips. They also have a good choice of other items on the menu Once I put in my order, the food comes quickly. The clam chowder was amazing. The smokiness of the clams Comes over into the soup. It was a smoky flavor, but it did not overwhelm the soup. It complimented it very well. There was a very generous portion of the clams and other ingredients. Dear Lord, I couldn't believe the size of that platter of fish and chips. Two giant pieces of rockfish, a very generous portion of fries, and a coleslaw. You also get ketchup for your fries, and a very delicious tartar sauce. I liked the coleslaw. It was not overdressed, and had just a little bit of a peppery bite. The pepper did not overwhelm the coleslaw. The fish was not overly battered, and not greasy at all. The fish was flaky and rich. The fries had just a littlle bit of a crisp on the outside, and were perfectly tender on the inside. The entire meal was amazing. It was so big, I brought one of the pieces of rockfish and about half of my fries back to my motel for breakfast the next morning. It heated up perfectly in the microwave and was just as good the following morning. For all I got, the price was extremely reasonable, and they also do a military/veterans discount. I will remember this place. Thank you!

My husband and I kicked off our camping weekend with fish & chips at The FishMongers…read more First of all, the cell service was really bad so my gps wasn't working well. We were looking for a sign that said The FishMongers. We drove by a place that said South Jetty Dining room and Bar, but that couldn't be it-could it? We kept driving and finally turned around when the gps started to work. It took us back to the South Jetty place. From that direction we saw a little sign that said The FishMongers that hadn't been visible from the opposite direction. So that was confusing. The "dining room" was decorated with the obligatory nautical theme with some local history thrown in. There were families and groups of people having a good time. The other half was a bar, and the poor server said she was the only one serving customers at the bar, while trying to wait tables in the dining room. She was doing her best and we didn't have to wait too long. We both like rockfish, so ordered the rockfish fish & chips. It said it was a fillet on the menu, and sure enough, it was a large one. We happily dug in and it tasted pretty good at first. The batter was a little too salty but still edible. But then the strangest thing happened. At the exact same time, the two of us came to a really strong fishy-tasting part of our fillets. The first half had tasted fine but then we came to the fishy part. It really put me off and I just couldn't eat the rest. I've never had fish like that anywhere, and I order fish & chips every chance I get. Later I looked up fishy-tasting rockfish and what I read said that's an indication of spoiling fish. Gross. I was all ready to give them 5 stars till this happened. I'm guessing we were served halves of the same fish? Anyway, we won't be back. There's no excuse for serving diners fish that isn't fresh and worse yet starting to spoil. Eat here at your own risk.

While it's not the best fish and chips you'll ever have, it's definitely a satisfying option if you're craving crispy fried fish with a good crunch. The batter is light and crisp, and the fish itself is fresh and flaky. Prices are about $13-$33 per fish basket & it's dependent on the type of fish you choose & how many pieces you want. It comes with a side of fries & coleslaw to round out the meal. The lemonade comes in a can, which is convenient but might not be what some customers expect. The sauce selection is decent, offering options like tartar, cocktail, mango chili and other dipping sauces. However, they're a bit stingy with it, you get one small container per order, and if you want more, you'll have to pay extra .50 each. They offer clam chowder, panko shrimp basket, fried oysters and other items too. Service is efficient, but it's mostly self service after they bring your food to the table. You'll need to grab your own utensils, napkins, and any extras you need. The atmosphere is casual, making it a good spot for a quick bite rather than a sit down dining experience. Overall, Fish N Chips in Tualatin is a solid choice if you're looking for simple, well cooked fried fish without breaking the bank. Just be prepared to pay extra for sauces and do a bit of the work yourself!
