As a local, I thought this was a tourist trap and I was WRONG. We ordered the combo plate with two…read morefish, four shrimp, and fries. It was more than enough to feed two women (almost too much). In addition, each piece was surprisingly FRESH and you can tell. If it was frozen prior, then you sure did a great job making it taste as if you just caught it from the ocean. The fish was falling apart and thick slices/fillets, the shrimp was bouncy and the fries were thicc. The batter was light and there were no air gaps and it was not greasy at all (someone is a pro at the oil temperature I see you) I've never been defeated by a plate of food before but I do dare say it was almost too much for me. Highly recommend (may take a while for your food to arrive but it is worth waiting).

This food truck is about a 15 minute walk from Aquarium of the Bay. We got here at around 1:30 PM,…read moreordered, and got our food within 15 minutes. It gets really hot, but thankfully there were quite a few benches with seating that had umbrellas to provide shading. Each bench also had malt vinegar (a must), ketchup, and salt. Fast casual eatery. What we got: - Fully loaded fries - super saucy! The menu says it has garlic, melted cheddar, and homemade Baja sauce. Definitely tangy and easily shareable amongst 3-4 people. - Fish only - comes with two pieces of fried fish and tartar sauce. This was pretty good and not too bad of a portion. We split it and ate one each. Good batter to fish ratio! Got our fish and chips cravings satisfied for sure! Bonus points for the pun, the Codmother is actually hilarious and definitely won me over. Would totally come back for more if I'm ever visiting San Francisco again!

If you like fried fish, then this is one of the best spots I've ever been to. No joke, this is…read moresome really good fried fish. It's a pretty chill place with decent seating, but needs more.

I appreciated how fresh all of the ingredients were and they went decently well with the fish. The chips and guac were a nice appetizer. Overall I'm a fan and would definitely come back to try their fish and chips. Do note that it's popular with the locals and your wait time may be upward of 30 min when busy. Seating is in the outdoor parklet (shared benches). Try their carrot habanero salsa -- it's not *too* spicy! Beer/wine is available.

My mother was going to get the fish and chips however, Jorge said we were at the best place to eat fish and insisted on the Swordfish dish. My mom agreed and she was not disappointed. He also recommended the lobster ravioli added with shrimp and it was delicious. Definitely do not hesitate to eat the delicious sea food! Fish and chips you can get anywhere, try something new (as Jorge would say). Delicious food and a good environment. 10/10 would recommend. We waited an hour too but it easily passes by due to the amount of shops around. Thank you Jorge for the amazing service! Much love!

Is this place like those chippie shops you find in the UK? One of those takeout places that you can…read moreorder over the counter, and they will fry the fish and chips piping hot? Yes, similar. This place has been here for a long time. I read that it was originally opened by British immigrants in the 1960s but now ran by a Korean family operator for over 25 years. The owner kept the same menu board offerings, the specialized Welsh fryer and same techniques so its maintained it's authenticity throughout the years. While this fish and chip shop seems to fits well with all the bars on Polk street, I hope that with all the fancy restaurants popping up, people don't forget about these older places. They used to have seating in the back, but on my last visit, they only allow takeout orders. Besides fish and chips, they have fried shrimps, oysters, clams, crabs, scallops, chicken, chips, onion rings, corn dog, zucchini, mushrooms, etc. I usually just get fish and chips but on my last visit, I also got the fried shrimps which I really like. I appreciate the friendly service from the owner. The shop prefers cash but also accept credit cards. Located on Polk and Sutter.

They provide malt vinegar and salt for the fries along with hot sauce and other packaged condiments. Be aware, this place is take out only.

And if you hate oysters (as long as you're not allergic) maybe you'd like them once you've had them here. I grabbed these oysters from their pop up tent outside the ferry building and next time I'm in SF I will be sure to try more from the restaurant. From the freshness to the size of the oysters to the taste it was incredible.

It's located in the middle of the Ferry building with access from the back side (with view of the bay). They do not take reservations and its first come first served. I've tried twice only to be scared off by the long line. Not everyone at our table eats raw oysters so we order fried oysters, fish & chips, fish stew (2x) along with our dozen of fresh oysters plus beer and a bad bunny cocktail. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful and the oysters were AMAZING!! Inside was lively and a bit loud so its hard to have conversation in between the oohs, aahs and mmmm. We didn't feel pressure to eat quickly since the line was getting longer and longer. Our group really enjoyed the experience.

The Fleet week and SF Tech Week Edition:…read more San Francisco is known for many dishes but one thing the city is always remembered for is its seafood. There are also lots of Islands by the salty water around San Francisco which is the habitat for some of the seafood. You can get a good view of Angel Island , Alcatraz Island, and Treasure Island from the Embarcadero. You especially have a better view boarding a boat on the water from the Ferry Building. The Embarcadero is the spot to also watch the Blue Angels show for Fleet week and a good spot for fish. The is a fish spot in the Ferry Building and it's called NOPA Fish. On a Fleet week and SF Tech Week stroll nothing is better than try the local seafood . There is another Island located at the Ferry Building a few feet away from the Ferry boats which is Oyster Hog Island. There is another place with less lines in the Ferry Building which also sells fresh fish and it's called NOPA Fish . Although it's called NOPA Fish it's no way located North Of the Panhandle but it's located in then Embarcadero. Inside it's a fish market and a restaurant at the same time. I got the Pristine Fish Over Sushi Rice. The sushi rice was fresh along with pieces of fish and it was tasty. I then had the fish and chips. The fish batter was not too flakey and the fries were not too salty like some in SF. It was delicious. I washed it down with an Arnold Palmer which wasn't too sweet and not sour. Remember NOPA Fish is located in the Ferry Building miles away from NOPA. San Francisco has a huge waterfront and a place you can catch a "Ferry" and shop for cheese that's "dairy "and at the Farmers you can pick up some "cherry"and watch the Blue Angels fighter jets get "airy" Come to NOPA Fish get a rockfish "sando"it's called NOPA Fish it's located inside the Ferry Building not "North Of the Panhandle " it's by the water in Embarcadero where some tourists wear shorts and "open toe sandal " and If I was a Blue Angel pilot then Don Juan Air would be my "handle"

Combo #2: Salmon Teriyaki Plate - comes with teriyaki carrot and broccoli, 4 pieces of shrimp battered, rice, and salmon teriyaki, the portion was small but it was good. All combos come with water!
