Super delicious, flaky huge pieces of fish and crispy fries. So yummy! Just a very long wait - over an hour.
I think while visiting Seattle, I ate my bodyweight in fish and chips. This one was highly recommend when on the island. It was pretty good. It's a small, unassuming spot. There is a good amount of patio seating which I really enjoyed. The food was yum, hot, and fresh. The customer service was just alright. It's def worth trying!
The BEST fish & chips in Seattle confirmed. I've heard so many things about Proper Fish and had to make the trip out to Bainbridge Island to see for myself. We got the British Fish & Chips, Baby Gem Lettuce Caesar, and Chowder. The fish was WOW. Great batter that stayed crispy. A HUGE fresh cut of cod. Thick cut fries that were perfect in every way. Safe to say my mind was blown. Hands down the best fish & chips. Everything else we ordered was just ok. Stick with the fish & chips.
Commuted 2 hours just to get a taste of the fish and chips here! (Through the link, ferry, and walking...) So worth it! Got an order of the fish and chips, plus their lobster roll. Super tastyyyy and great! The fish was incredibly crispy and the lobster was delicious. I'd pass on the mint green peas LOL, just my personal opinion. Very odd much interesting. Service was great, and I was glad to see this place busy! Interior is nice, cozy, and inviting! Thanks a lot!
We were headed to the water for a lunch view but saw this place in a whim & stopped in. It was packed inside & out! The fish & chips were tasty. I enjoyed the fresh Alaskan fish. The fries were just ok. It's served with a dollop of puréed peas that my husband tasted & said it had a sage flavor. My husband ordered the lobster roll which was stuffed full of lobster. He subbed a salad for fries that was fresh. I also ordered a peach bourbon smash. It was so good. I was kind of knocking because of the size but the taste factor totally made up for it. The place is very small with limited seating but we were able to sit at the bar & watch these amazing cooks in action. I took pics of the sandwiches & tacos as they were being made. I would definitely order one of these next time! Happy Eating!
During peak times, the wait is over an hour to get your food. You may stand in line for about 20-30 minutes, and once you pay, you get your food in about 40 minutes. Be prepared to wait. The fish and chips were... proper! Batter was fantastic and the fish and . The fries were great. Well season and crispy, but with a nice chew. For the price and large portion, I'd say it's not bad! Recommend going with a friend to grab a table and someone else order so you have a spot to eat. Great place for fish and chips!
My favorite meal in Seattle!! If you're in Bainbridge you have to stop in. Line was fairly short, but food took ~30 mins to come out. The fish & chips were soooo good. Crispy, flakey, salty. Fish sandwich was also good, but I preferred the fish & chips.
We recently dined at Proper Fish on a busy Saturday for an early dinner. As expected, the line was long. When we got to the cashier, she told us it would take about an hour for our food. There are several tables inside and outside that are casually up for grabs. We didn't have to wait long to get a really good corner table in the back near the self-serve water station which nicely offers a carafe filled with ice water with lemon and another one without lemon. After less than an hour, as promised, our food came out fresh and steaming hot. I don't know if I'm just lucky or not super picky, but I thought our food looked amazing and tasted delicious! Our fish was juicy and perfectly cooked. It was the similar long fillet size that I remember having when I visited England. A nice touch is the fish and chips are laid on top of newspaper printed food safe parchment paper. The servers were friendly and helpful. They gave us a generous amount of hand-cut fries and just the right amount of minty mushy peas and tartar sauce. Of course, I doused my fish with a generous amount of malt vinegar the way I like it, and voilà, I was transported back to jolly old England! In my humble opinion, Proper Fish is a must place to dine when you're visiting Bainbridge Island. Then, a great idea is to walk the wonderful calories off and fight off the impending food coma by perusing the various cute shops and small businesses in their charming Downtown. If you want a longer walk and photo op, walk about 25 minutes from Proper Fish to see the large, cool wooden art installation "Pia The Peacekeeper Troll" in Sakai Park.
My friends and I recently checked out Proper Fish during a visit to Bainbridge Island. We weren't super hungry so between the four of us, we only shared a single order of their fish and chips and a cup of clam chowder. After placing our order, our food was quickly prepared. Although I didn't set a timer, I would estimate it only took five minutes for our food to come out. Impressive, considering we were dining at 12:00 p.m. right as the lunch rush was coming through. The battered fish is fried well -- crispy and not oily, but the batter was a bit thick, and the fish was overcooked and didn't flake apart the way a tender piece of fish does when it's delicately prepared. I appreciate that the outside of the fish is generously salted. In addition to the tartar sauce and wedges of lemon that are included, there is also malt vinegar available at the table. While the fish was dry, everything else that was included in the entree was not bad. In fact, I really enjoyed the flavor and texture of mushy peas, and the thick cut fries were very crispy. My other notable criticism is around two key items: the disappointing chowder and the general cleanliness -- of lack thereof, of the restaurant. All four members of my party tried out the chowder and we all agreed that it was incredibly bland. The chowder lacked both salt and flavor, and tasted like hot, boiled cream. Regarding cleanliness, a few of us received cutlery that wasn't clean, and there were actually a few ants crawling on the table inside as well. Some other Yelpers have brought this up in their reviews, but Proper Fish unfortunately does not have the best track record when it comes to health inspections. Do what you will with this information, but this does not instill confidence that you'll make it out of this experience unscarred.
Food was beyond expectation! Fish had perfect batter to fish ratio, crispy and perfectly seasoned. The fries were crispy and hand cut, fried golden, and was served with tartar sauce and minty mushy peas. 10/10 Service was excellent, the bartender was very kind and welcoming as this was our first time. We loved how clean the restaurant was and how the water, utensils and to go bags were self serve. Loved it overall and will be back again.
First, it's extremely disappointing that adults aren't allowed to order the half size of fish and chips. It's a complete waste of food and resources to force people to buy the massive portion. Not everyone eats massive portions of food. That alone is reason for a one-star review. Second, the food was so bland. It was caked in way too much batter and very crispy, but the inside was almost mushy and flavorless. I maybe ate 1/4 of it. Not good. The chips were almost all burnt to a crisp. I had like five of them. Complete waste of money.
Worst fish and chips of my life. Ordered the British fish and chips $22, 6oz (small) cod chowder $8, a side of toasted bread $2, and additional sauces: chipotle aioli, basil aioli, mary rose, cilantro cream (all +$0.75). Total was $45 and this was shared between 2 people Don't let the fish size fool you. The fish was overly battered and overcooked. The actual fish piece was tiny.. the batter was hard and you could feel the oil sit in your mouth after eating. The chips were too potatoey, not crispy and they give you one piece of lemon for the huge piece of fish. The tartar sauce was okay, it needed more dill and vinegar in my opinion. It just tasted creamy, but it was the best sauce out of everything they had. The cod chowder was the best thing we ate, although it does not come with bacon so it's probably the cheapest thing to make. Clams did not taste fishy, and it was creamy in the best way! I would recommend this but would not line up or go out of my way solely to get this. Pass on the toasted bread. It's lightly buttered but there's nothing special to it. It's also on the thinner side. Chipotle aioli had a strong chipotle flavor, basil aioli tasted like pesto in the best way, mary rose was kind of a pink mayo moment, and the cilantro cream was creamy. Although all sauces were good, there was nothing special about any of them so I would not reorder. There's a self-serve water station inside, the service is good but it felt and smelled too oily inside so sitting outside is your best bet. They also sold out of onion rings on a Friday at 2:30pm, but I'm glad I didn't get them because they definitely would have been overcooked. Would never come back or recommend.
I have been wanting to eat here since I moved to Seattle 2 years ago, and I was extremely underwhelmed and disappointed when I finally got to try it today. We traveled to Bainbridge from Seattle just to eat here. The service was great and the staff were kind. But the food was bad. The fish was extremely battered and overcooked. They were too crunchy and hard. The fries were a mix of fresh/hot and stale/cold. They had the potential to be good if they were all fresh, but they weren't. The best thing we had was the cod chowder, but it also wasn't that special, it was just the only thing we could actually enjoy. The toasted bread was also cold and had no flavor. Also, they were sold out of onion rings at 3pm. We tried each of the sauces they offer, and they were all mid. I couldn't even say which one I liked the most because I didn't like any of them. Split between two people, we did not finish our order of one fish and chips, 6 oz chowder, and toasted bread. Even then, the food and oil sat heavily and made me feel pretty gross after eating this meal. The outdoor seating is the only good place to sit because it's extremely muggy and stuffy inside the shop. There are clean bathrooms and self serve water. This place is definitely overhyped and not worth the visit to Bainbridge for this meal. ESPECIALLY not worth the wait or the price, like $16 for a large piece of batter is wild!? Definitely do not recommend.

Had this with my sister (London frequenter) and allegedly these are on par and quite authentic! The batter was delightfully thin and crispy and the fish itself was flaky Typically not the biggest fan of thicker fries, but the chips were tender and fluffy! Oysters were melt in mouth yum and paired well with the lemon Service on a Sunday dinner took around 15 min and everything was freshly fried Inside of the restaurant was quite cute; really cute steampunk lightbulbs and London esque paraphernalia read more

Ordered: - British Fish & Chips - Overall, good fried fish. The tartar sauce was also good. Fries/chips are on the thicker side but they work. - Fried Oysters - I liked this one too. I was honestly a little surprised that I enjoy this one as much as I did. - Fish Sandwich - I would just skip this one if we went back and just do the regular fish and chips. Wasn't a fan of the bread. - Lobster Roll - Alright. Would probably only reorder the Fish and Chips and Fried oysters (if you like that/feeling it). I wish they let you sub out some of the regular fries in the main courses for onion rings or for the thin fries (that are available with the tacos). Also wish you could just order the fried oyster itself as a side. Got there around 2:30 ish on a Saturday, waiting in line about 30 minutes before we ordered and about 20 minutes after to get the actual food. read more

I heard about this place on social media a lot, so I made sure to come by during my trip to Seattle. The restaurant is very small with only a handful of tables inside and on the patio. It was packed when I went on a Friday afternoon, but we were lucky to snag a table. It took an hour between the time we ordered our food and the time we got it. They warned the group who ordered ahead of us that it would take that long, so we knew, but they did not tell us. Make sure if you plan to come here to budget a lot of time. We got 2 orders of the fish and chips and a small cup of cod chowder. The fish and chips were super good. Both were nice and crispy and had a lot of flavor. The cod chowder however was pretty bland. I'd definitely come back for the fish and chips but would skip the chowder next time. read more
Incredible and just like they had at the Nosh food truck. Great fish but I wish the restaurant was a little more. Restaurant is loud and unwelcoming to enjoy dinner. Service was kind. Order at the counter and they bring it to you when it's ready. Beer selection is meh with a few cans/bottles and 2 on tap options that are not great. read more

Weekends at Proper Fish are bananas and for good reason. This place is hands down the best fish and chips in the state. Hell it might be the best in the country. It is a true nod to the proper British entree. We arrived when the line was relatively short but within 20 min it was wrapped around the corner nearly. Rest assured the line moved fast but it's still shocking to see. The entire restaurant is first come first serve seating so plan ahead or consider a picnic approach. We ordered and headed across the street to a table under a gazebo. From order to pick up the wait was roughly 25 on a Saturday at 11am- ish but it was packed with standing room only. We ordered the fish and chips, prawn & lobster cocktail, and the caesar salad. Everything was marvelous! I can't wait to go back again. read more

We came around peak lunch time and there was a line all the way out the door. Since there is limited seating we ordered the food to go. They take your phone number and reach out when the food is ready which is nice cause you can walk around town while you wait. After 45 minutes, we picked up our food right away but sadly it was already cold. We told them it was cold and they thankfully remade it for us. It turns out they forgot to text us so the food was sitting for awhile but I'm happy they remade it and gave us a discount. The food itself was delicious! Loved the fish and chip and the cod chowder. read more

This was our third time visiting, and we ordered almost everything on the menu! I really love most of the dishes, and we've had a great experience overall. The only dish I wasn't a big fan of was the lobster. For the price, I felt the portion was quite small, and I didn't realize it would be served cold. Other than that, we really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back! read more
Place was busy and service was slow/terrible. As far as the food, was just ok. Fish itself was good but fried had no flavor. Bland just like the tacos-zero flavor. I don't get the draw, I've had better in the Midwest. read more
When you arrive here it can be a bit confusing. They have amazing reviews, so ferry traffic tends to flock here. Add in your visit being on a weekend and expect for it to be packed. When you go inside to order it's a bit cramped, but manageable. You order food and then find a seat. That's where it got challenging for us. There were a lot of people saving seats while one person ordered, so it was hard for us to find one. We did eventually find one and didn't wait too long until they brought the food out. The oysters are everything you'd want in a fried oyster. They were pricey, but not too crazily priced. The fish was bland. I go out of my way to find seafood. I would eat it multiple times a day if I could. I had a couple bites of this and decided even with the high price it wasn't worth finishing to me. Oddly enough my friend who was with me (who typically does not eat seafood because it's too fishy) enjoyed the fish. She herself said she liked it because it was bland and didn't taste like fish at all to her. I'm not sure why it has such high ratings, for me the fish itself was a solid 2/10. read more
I got the British fish and chips to go and it was very good. Take out had a service charge of 5% ($1.10), my order total was ~$25 and it took 20mins to make. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The place is small but there's also seating outside. I did notice the food safety rating was "needs to improve" and I didn't see it until after ordering so I still ate my meal but I was shocked to see that. read more

Got the must try fish and chips. Hugh piece of fish with a good amount of fries. Comes with the minty mushy peas. An experience by itself. The fish was flaky and hot! The fries are a bit chunky. The tartar sauce is homemade. One of best fish and chips I've tried anywhere. The service is quick but drinks and utensils are self service. Sadly they were out of onion rings read more
Glad I got to try this place during my visit to Bainbridge! Got the fish n chips and it was hot, fresh, and a good portion size. The fish was flaky with a thin fried coating. The mushy peas had a strong mint flavor, which I liked. Tasted like a fresh mint chutney. My friend got the chowder, which was made with cod that day, and it tasted great. Creamy without being too rich. Not fishy either. Friendly service, both counter and table. Cute and casual place inside with outdoor seating options as well. Bathroom inside the building. read more
Visited here on our trip to Bainbridge Island and it seems like this was highly recommended. Cod chowder (5/5): Perfect for a cold day. Still prefer the clam version, but this was perfectly seasoned and comforting. Fish and chips (5/5): fish and chips usually doesn't satisfy me, but holy crap this one was massive. Not only was it humongous, but it was also perfectly fried. The sauces were also great to experiment with. Overall this has got to be your go-to spot when visiting the island. read more

A picture speaks a thousand words..."Improvement Needed". We saw a TikTok on this place and had to give it a try. We traveled over an hour and found that parking was almost nonexistent. There may have been a few spots in front but of course they were taken at the time. We decided to park a ways down the road and walk to the restaurant. Upon arriving there were no clear directions about how/where to order. We aimlessly meandered through noisy, cramped areas making our way from door to door then to a "bar area" where someone finally explained to go a bit further to place our order in another section of the building. We met the host who gave us menus and told us to order and to "sit wherever you can find a seat". We placed our order and highlighted there was no seating. He said there's a "bar area" that we could sit in and he would make sure our food made it to us. He handed us a metal numbered post and started taking the orders of others in line. After about 30 mins, we noticed people that ordered after us were getting their orders and we still hadn't been served. I approached the host and he said he had made a mistake with our number and had been looking for us but our food had only been done a couple of minutes. He brought us our food which also needed improvement. The fish was a thin filet of cod, fries were Luke warm (at best) and the bottled coke we purchased from the fridge was not sealed. As we were deciding to leave we noticed a sign posted on the tinted window next to our table and well away from the restaurant entrance from the Health Department giving them a rating of "Needs Improvement". Pretty much sums up our whole experience read more

My friend's husband recommended Proper Fish for fish and chips and I'm so glad he did. We heard it's supposed to be Seattle's top fish and chip restaurant so we had to try it. The restaurant itself was buzzing with two different dining rooms and an outdoor seating area as well. You place your order at the counter and they'll deliver the food when it's ready. We tried the fish and chips and the soup of the day which was cod chowder. This soup was perfectly seasoned and tasted just like the New England style clam chowder I know and love. It was thick (but not too thick) and packed with delicious flavor. The fish and chips - which was perfectly battered and fried - came out piping hot, was generous in size and large enough to share between two of us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to coming back again and eating outside in warmer weather. read more

By far: one of the best meals I've had. Definitely an experience you need to have. Very large portions. The fish tacos are incredible. If we are coming to Bainbridge Island we have to stop by here to eat. read more
Must visit when on the island. The portion size is huge. $22 for the fish and chips. The fish was fried perfectly and wasn't fishy at all. The service is good and the food comes out quick. It's a very chill vibe and self service on the water, utensils and hot sauces. read more
Can't go wrong with the British fish, comes with a hugeee piece if white fish on top of a bed of thick fries and a scoop of mashed peas. I highly recommend the pineapple mojito! Condiments and utensils are self serve around the back corner. Gets pretty crowded but service is fast. read more

This place is all over tik tok, so we took the ferry to Bainbridge, as we are always in search of good fish and chips. The venue itself has a fast food vibe. An order and then find a table place. The reason we won't be back is their Food Safety Inspection is " needs to improve" the lowest rating. When you look at their history this has been a consistent problem. They have placed the certificate near the till (not the entrance), so we didn't notice the certificate until after we had paid and found a table. read more
Yummm for their fish and chips. I came here with my family after walking around and exploring on a Sunday afternoon. The place is small and it was too cold to sit outside. I had to sit at a small table with my daughter because she was sleeping on the stroller while my group sat at a bigger table in the back. I ordered the fish and chips and it was delicious! Piping hot, crispy and flaky. No complaints at all. The portion was a good size(I couldn't finish but my brother came by to help). I really enjoyed the peas that I initially thought was guac haha. If I'm ever visiting Bainbridge, I'd definitely stop by for a quick bite. read more
