I was excited when Spuds first opened in Edmonds. I remember how good it was in the original location. We were underwhelmed. Prices were high and the fish and clam strips were leathery. Now, it's a few years later and anthony's wasn't taking sit down reservations for lunch. So we pass by Spuds. Decided to give it another try. It was worst. Because I paid them $83 for lunch for 3 and I had to buy the tarter sauce. It was the same over fried clam strip and fish. The pieces are too thin and small. Almost impossible to not overcook. Worst meal again for the money. I'll try to remember to keep driving next time and go to arnies instead. BTW, don't order the chowder. Taste like soupy mashed potatoes. read more

Expensive, bland, crispy. Went here thinking it was associated with the Alki spuds but it isnt. Some of the worst fish and chips I've ever had. If you're looking for some amazing fish and chips I recommend either nosh (food truck in seattle/Bellevue) won best fish and chips in the state, sunfish(alki), Chinooks, or the Alki spuds. Save yourself a trip and money, this place is horrid. read more

Great fish and chips, huge gigantic fillets. A 1 fillet is more like a 2-3 piece at any other fish joint. Perfectly cooked, chowder was good too! There is a bit of a view of some snow capped peaks on the right day! Enjoy these huge servings! read more

Spud Fish & Chips - This is just one piece:)!!!! - Seafood Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Super pricey, strong vinegar tasting tartar sauce. Paper-thin fish fillets. Save your money. Eat on the ferry!

Worst fish n chips I have ever had. Overpriced, could taste that it was frozen, dry, terrible. Great restaurants in Edmonds but avoid this one. I took friends from out of town here - 3 people, $44 (no drinks). Never again! read more

Spuds made it right and refunded the tax that I was charged in addition I was given a gift card. Thank you Spuds for making it right.

Welp, we're done with Spud at this location, maybe all locations. We were in the ferry line last weekend and got a couple 3-piece fish and chips, clams, and fried pickles. Everything was thoroughly mediocre. The breading on the fish is small breadcrumbs and has a tendency to fall off in big chunks. The fish itself is edible when it's hot but when it cools it turns to rubber. Really, that's the texture. The fries are soft and soggy. Yuck. The clams were just okay but could have been better with good tartar sauce. Too bad their's is not. The fried spicy pickles aren't terrible but they're super salty. The cocktail sauce was honestly the best part of the meal. For the calorie count, this place just isn't worth it. We won't make the same mistake again waiting in the ferry line. read more

Got a single piece cod and fries (but got two), a tiny side of coleslaw, oysters, tartar and cajun sauce. Everything for 18 bucks. The oysters were amazing. I loved them. The fish was good, fries ok, tartar and cajun meh. Service okay. The cook was by himself and sweaty. I understood the wait. There is certainly something that has a strong vinegar aftertaste but its not the fish batter since I picked it apart. If I were to come back, I would order a single serving of oysters, and thats it. read more

Yuck, yuck and yuck. Tasteless cod, mediocre fries and some weird flavor of Diet Dr. Pepper emanating from the fountain. The place is way too sterile and not one comfortable sitting apparatus in sight. The benches are cushion-less Melamine with seams conveniently placed under your butt crack at the tables. Hard metal chairs both low and high complete your seating ensemble. Good thing really as you don't want to stay any longer than you have to. Meal for two was over $30 and one person only had water for their drink. Artificial shake flavors so banana is never a good choice. One lady brought her own bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper so that tells you something about the history of the fountain drinks. Weak plastic knives and forks, tiny little packets of salt and pepper give the place the feel of a cheap carnival set-up. Two fillets of cod were piled onto a large serving of fries on a tiny little cardboard bowl. We had to ask for an empty bowl to make enough room to get to the fries. A successful experiment of one and DONE. On the positive, staff were friendly and the place was clean. The cash register guy took time after taking our order to clean the outdoor tables. read more

I don't see what others see in this restaurant unless we just went on a bad day. The cod was completely tasteless and very thin, the fries were ok - very expensive for what you get. There is nothing but metal chairs and hard benches - not very comfortable at all. Would not go back. read more

Aren't fish and chips delicious? These weren't. The small, thin cod filets were overcooked. The batter coating was thick, dense, grainy, and salty. The fries were thick cut and limp. The mystery oil used for frying the fish and chips flavored everything. The tartar sauce, which costs extra, consisted of sour, cheap commercial mayonnaise with a few bits of chopped sour pickle in it If you love fresh well prepared fish and chips, and good food in general, avoid Spud Fish & Chips. Remember, while the tartar sauce cost extra at Spuds, the indigestion is free. read more

First time here. Found it to be too salty (breading) and the fish did not taste fresh. Fast food quality but high prices for what it is. Once at this place is plenty read more

I am really only giving this two stars because the staff was nice, the place seemed pretty clean, and my food was prepped in a timely manner....and now I know why....they just microwave everything. I ordered a clam chowder and a clam strips and chips. Literally everything was out of a bag it seems. I don't even think they fried the clam strips in house. The fries were a bit chewy (que?) and the biggest failure was the chowder. Have you had Campbell's clam chowder in a can? Good. Then you know what this tastes like. No substance whatsoever. Kind of embarrassing if you consider this location being on the Edmonds waterfront amidst other seafood joints and this is what they are bringing to the table? Pssh. read more

Great customer service, terrible value. Probably the worst portion price point for fish n' chips in the region. The one piece cod I had was also the least tender I've ever had. read more

So my friend and I went in this morning before going to Kingston. We were greeted by what seemed like zombie like attitudes. "Monotone" "Hellowelcometospuds" our knee jerk reaction was to turn and run but we were hungry so we "FOOLISHLY" stayed. For a 2 piece thin (1/4in) x 4in pieces of fish and a shrimp cocktail NO drink mind you, it was $18.36! I realized before he rang me up that I had to pay for ANY tartar that I might want. Nothing free here but the zombie like stares that the pitiful staff that seem to have slept there, and as they wander around back looking for some kind of flesh to devour. I WILL NOT EVER go back to this place. Small portions, expensive and not enough zombie action for my taste. If you're going to act like a zombie, be a zombie! read more

You'd think with all these terrible reviews they would make some changes or at least reply and try to rectify the bad ones. The fact that they aren't is enough for me to not even give them a chance. Good luck. I look forward to the next restaurant to take over after they go out of business.... read more

I guess Cod and chips should be the most popular and easy one for such kind of a restaurant. But they just can't even make it right. Cod is not fresh and over cooked. read more

Over priced, each item was separate including the tarter sauce. Fries were pretty good, cod fish was not very flavorable but the halibut was better tasting. Did I mention it's overpriced?? Not worth the money. Bucket list disappointment. read more

Don't bother with this place!! My husband and I decided to stop in for lunch after a nice walk along the Edmonds Marina with our newborn. This was our first outing together as a family after a few days being cooped up at home and after a couple of days in the hospital. The outing was completely ruined by who I assume was the manager of Spuds. When we placed our order, we were OFFERED some paper cups to get some water while we were waiting for our order. Great, nice gesture! We posted up toward the back of the restaurant, all the while being compliant- mask wearing customers. We then proceeded to fill our cups with some water that was OFFERED to us by the employee working at the register. We began to drink said water and....HUGE MISTAKE!!! Almost immediately the manager aggressively approached me, and scolded me for not wearing a mask, and condescendingly told me it was state law to comply! My mask was visibly in my hand as was my cup of water. I showed her my mask, and again, was repeatedly scolded. My husband and I were shocked at how stupid the situation was!! We waited a few more minutes for our food, and just wanted to get the heck out of there. Then, the manager personally brought our food to us. Did we get an apology, since clearly I wasn't doing anything wrong or "illegal".... maybe she realized the need to temporarily remove my mask, to drink from my cup? No!! She served up another round of insults, explaining that I need to understand the severity of Covid, my non-compliance with the masks, and that their business had received a lot of bad reviews recently, was struggling to make it, and had been fined several times at the $10,000.00 price point, essentially because of non-mask wearing people like me!! Unreal!! Needless to say, we quickly grabbed our stuff and retreated back to our car. Thanks for the uncalled for altercation, especially targeted toward the lady with the newborn baby. Apparently if you hang your mask off of one ear, like the other beverage drinking customers in the place, you won't receive a lecture. We will not return!! read more

Went to the Edmonds location yesterday 6/24/2020. The Cod and Chips were ok, but the clam chowder was like a white sauce with a clam or two and a couple pieces of potato. NO FLAVOR AT ALL!! We won't be back anytime soon. Over priced for what you get. read more

Great fish and chips! Was able to get some food and head back to the ferry with time to spare.

We have eaten at other Spud's (Alki, Green Lake, Kirkland). This did not taste like those Spud's. I was hungry but couldn't finish my order of doughy fish and soggy chips. read more

My gawd, $31 for a triple fish, order of scallops (no chips) two sodas and a large tarter. I just don't think this cost lines up 100% with the product. Fish was great! Scallops were small and left a lot to be desired. I'm just not sure I can go back for that $$$$. Decor and staff get 4*s read more

I stopped by for lunch and was very happy that I did. I ordered just a single cod chips w/ a slaw cup. The Fish was cooked perfectly with a golden crisp outside and a thick white fish on the inside. I felt the fries were cooked perfect with a little crisp. I topped my meal with the garlic vinegar which is delicious if you like vinegar. Thought about walking down to the beach but I decided to sit on their outdoor patio. I left full just from the single order but wanting more because the flavors were great. Tartar is favorite in town too. It's worth checking out! read more

Spud Fish & Chips - Seafood Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Blech. Over $10 for a 2 piece fish and chips. The filets were very thin, therefore very little fish even though they appeared large. You have to pay for tarter! The restaurant is new and clean but very sparse and designed for grab and go (order at the register, pick up at the counter) but asked to tip on tablet register (I don't tip if I'm not receiving service). Nice young people employees. An hour after eating and my stomach feels yucky. I will never go there again - Unpretentious, dependable Ivar's is right up the hill. read more

This place is outrageously priced. The service was poor and not friendly at all. You can get the same fish in the freezer section of QFC. read more

Delicious cod, generous portions and always served hot & fresh! Fries can be wimpy but ohh...the fish!

Sometimes I'm guilty of posting reviews before I let my emotions (yes I do have them even if my wife claims I don't) calm down and maybe those said emotions can influence my review a star or two. I stopped by Spuds on Sunday at a weird time. Like 4pm or something so I was after the lunch crowd and before the dinner crowd. The place was pretty empty. I noticed that the owner was the only one behind the counter. I know this because she had made contact with me on my previous review. I ordered a double fish and this time I backed it with a prawns only. She brought me my fish rather quickly and I mentioned that I should have prawns coming also... and she realized that she had forgot about those. She went back and cooked them up for me while I enjoyed my fish. She brought me my prawns and then proceeded to give me some credit on my next visit since she forgot about them. I told her that this was completely unnecessary since it was only a small delay and I wasn't even finished with my fish. She insisted. My point here is that she really followed through on her customer service and had no idea who I was and that I had written a less than stellar review from my previous visit. I appreciate the customer service. Nice job! read more

Good fish and chips. Crispy but not greasy. However their prices are very high and while the food is good it is not worth it. Example 2.25 for a small soda fountain drink. read more

Guess I was expecting it to be like the old one on Green Lake and Alki. Yup, not impressed. and I made a special trip to check it out. I wanted to try the original cod and a piece of halibut. Could not tell them apart and you know how expensive halibut is! Batter was dry, don't know if it was prepared ahead of time and kept under a warmer but that's what it tasted like. The tarter I paid for was literally a pot of mayonnaise (Dicks is better!). And of course the french fries were frozen sticks of wood heated in oil. Nothing to rave about and I was really hoping I had found a decent place for fish and chips (besides my home)! I want to say that old folks would probably love this place, it's so bland, but I'm an oldster myself and I won't be going back. On the bright side, the service was very good! read more

We stopped in while waiting for the ferry to arrive. My wife likes "fish-n-chips" so we ordered the 3 piece cod with fries to go. I don't like to give bad reviews, but they charged you for tartar sauce (a first for me) and you really needed it because the fish was overcooked/dry. It wasn't busy at all so that was not the problem. In addition, the bill was around $20 without a drink! Will try the Thai place next time. read more

Worst fish and chips I've ever had. Comments about tartar sauce tasting spoiled is true. We got oysters and their cod. The oyster tasted like it'd gone bad, it's mostly dough and batter, and undercooked batter at that. I think you can imagine for yourself how good that it is for deep fried oysters. The fish was, like other comments, dry and thin. Tastes old. As I type this me and my wife both have upset stomachs. Color me surprised. The clam chowder also tasted generic, and like it was made from a formula or mix of some kind. I would steer clear of this place until they show they can deliver a passable fish and chips experience. We HAD to throw our food out half eaten because we started feeling sick. Waste of $40. read more

I don't review many places but I was sorta shocked at some of the negative reviews here because my experience was so different...so I thought I'd chime in with my two cents: This isn't some greasy spoon fish & chips. They obviously take care to change and filter their oil often and the result is a light, moist, fish with no unwanted flavors introduced. I think it is some of the best around. I've heard (or read - can't remember which right now) that all of their food is locally sourced and I found the space to be open and airy. All in all, and I've had a pretty nice experience both times I've been there. I agree that it isn't the cheapest lunch out there...but I think their prices are pretty much in line with other fish & chips places I've been to, and I think real/quality food should cost more than the dollar menu at some fast food place. I'm not in Edmond's often, but I'd surely look them up next time I'm up that way. read more

I love the Cod Sandwich & Rockfish & Chips. Also love the banana milkshakes. The girls are sweet!!

I love the fish & clams at Spuds. I am so glad they came to Edmonds.

I ordered the salmon and chips with tarter sauce. 1. didn't care for the batter 2. too greasy 3. i love salmon, but this must have been low quality frozen atlantic cause it had no flavor 4. tarter sauce must have some veninger in it didn't care for it i won't be back. read more

I loved it here! Fish was fresh and the chips are made to order. There was a line but it went quickly. The shop is across from the beach, get your food to-go and sit in the park. I am a salt and vinegar person and my friend got several tartar sauce pots (it's made fresh) and we were both happy. Will definitely go again. read more

Spud Fish & Chips only by name. I grew up in Seattle and frequented the Greenlake location where there was always a line and seemingly organized chaos. Food is greasy and amazing - the fish fresh and dripping hot from the oil it just came out of. Fries hand cut and also dripping in oil. Yes you pay for your tarter but it's freshly made and worth the extra charge if you're a tarter freak like me. Edmonds location was not busy on the hottest day of the year when no one wants to cook. Ordered a 3 piece fish n chips to share with my daughter and when I picked up the order less than 2 minutes after ordering I immediately knew we were not really at Spud. Fish was neatly stacked on top of dry fries, not a drop of grease, and look of fish could have easily been chicken strips. Breading is not intended for fish, very floury, and flavorless. I'm not considering going back until managers take lessons from existing successful locations. read more

I went there last week expecting greatness....the store was clean (smelled like bleach), but the price was so expensive. One piece of halibut the size of my palm with fries was 10 buck's! Still has to pay for tarter too. It wasn't very good either. So sad. Sorry Spud it was a dud. read more

I'm giving 5 stars for 2 reasons. This place should rank better than it does. Apparently they let too many "folks" through the front door who don't know good Seattle style fish & chips when they've eaten them. And that's the 2nd reason: with Red Mill having bought the Totem House & ruining the recipe, this is the last place to get real Seattle style fish & chips (not English style)... read more
