Outside

I saw this place on social and decided to give it a go. It was the hole in the wall type, so I was like heck yeah! I chose this place over Spuds Fish n Chips because they had the combination which gave me a piece of everything. The combination had Halibut, Prawns and Oysters, all about the mixed platter life. Don't expect major decor, it was simple and basic. An elderly man working the counter was just doing his job. So he wasn't thee friendliest but he wasn't rude. But the food can out really fast and fresh! Overall, I wanna try the competition near to get a final verdict. But saying yes to coming back.

Large cod 3 pieces and fries and large clam chowder

Classic cod fish and chips done right! They cook everything to order so it's fresh and hot when you pick it up. For $25 we got a large cod fish and chips (3 pieces of fish) and a large clam chowder. Paired well with a solid tartar sauce.

My sister and I got dinner here last week and the man working is sooo sweet. I ordered a 3 piece cod and my sister ordered 2 and we both were so surprised when we got home and saw that he had added an extra piece each for us. Literal angel. Fish was delicious. Loved the home made tartar and malt vinegar. When we were there he was trying to get us to take some Halloween candy haha. Will have to come back more often when I'm craving fish and chips. He's just the sweetest thing.

Fresh and delicious!! The cod fish and chips and fried shrimp were incredible. Love everything about this place, family run to this day. Staff always friendly. Pro tip: ask for the cocktail sauce for the shrimp.

Oysters and fries

Plenty of oysters & fries. Piping hot and delicious. My favorite fish and chips place in Seattle.

Cod Combo: 1 piece cod, 2 prawns, 3 oysters and fries.

We heard about Sunfish watching a YouTube video about the best Fish and Chips in Seattle. I have lived in Seattle all my life but never been here. After our first bite we knew this is our go to spot for quick serve seafood. The fish is fresh, lightly hand breaded and perfectly fried as was the prawns and oysters. We also tried the clam chowder which was amazing. We will definitely be back to this little gem on Alki beach!

I was immediately transported back to the 80's when I stepped inside Sunfish. It's an old school seafood restaurant located next to Alki Beach with a great view and serves up delicious fried seafood. Order at the counter and then pick up your order once it's called. The inside has several tables to dine in and the outside wrap around patio has about 10 tables. Ordered the following: Cod combination - 1 piece of cod, 2 prawns, 2 oysters and fries. The cod, prawns, and oysters were fried to perfection and delicious. The fried oysters are some of the best I've ever had. The fries were subpar and weren't crispy. For a dollar less, you can get any order without fries. Kalamari - lightly breaded and fried to perfection. One of the best calamari I've never had. It's pricey but worth it! Overall, the fried Kalamari and oysters were exceptional! I would definitely come back for more kalamari, cod, prawns, and oysters and would like to try the clam chowder and scallops sometime.

See all

Not pretentious, just good and fresh fish for a fair price. Parking is a bit of a pain on busy days, so I always go when it is raining.

This place is excellent?

The COD is excellent and chowder. Not a fan of halibut. Their combos are very popular but they run out fast.

The staff were all extremely friendly and knowledgable. We both had delicious cocktails and the burger! Soft toasted bun, crisp bacon...fantastic! Fries outstanding! Tartar sauce made me want to try their fish and chips. I've been back twice. Both times same excellent food and experience. The last time I was just dropping in on friends and couldn't stay long and ordered toast & hot water with lemon. Out comes a gorgeous ornate silver tea pot, the most perfect toast and incredibly delicious jam & butter. I love it here. I'm a convert. Highly recommend. Perfect for solo dining, catching up with a bestie, and larger gatherings.

When we arrived, just after they opened, we were the third party in the restaurant. The atrium was really cute. It had a glass chandelier, great decor, and a view of Alki Beach. Our waiter brought us some water and we both decided to order the quiche (daily special was spinach, mushroom and goat cheese) along with a cup of clam chowder. Being that the restaurant was kind of empty, it took a while for our food to arrive. Unfortunately, the chowder was tepid at best and quiche was ice cold. I flagged the waiter down and as he took away our plates, he made a comment about the oven not being set correctly, which I thought was a bit odd. To me, it seemed as if our food may have been waiting a while to get picked up. Nevertheless, our food returned shortly thereafter piping hot. The chowder was delicious, definitely one of the tastiest I've had in Seattle. I found the quiche to be lacking in flavor and then noticed that there were no salt or pepper shakers on any of the tables, which I also thought was a bit odd. After we had finished eating, the waiter asked my friend if she wanted a box for her quiche. When he returned with the box, he did not clear our dishes or ask if we were ready for our check. I had to flag him down to ask for it. I noticed they added a $3 service fee to the bill, not quite sure what that was about, as the food was already a bit pricier than other restaurants in the area and there were issues with our food. I guess it's for the beach view? Overall, this was a decent meal, but I just don't get what all the hype is about.

The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and professional. I began with a pasta dish, three cheese tortellini , crab and bay shrimp. The chef prepared the dish in front of me. Absolutely delicious! The offerings were plenty and very well presented. The salmon, Dungeness crab(served cold), ham , prawns and numerous other proteins were fresh and tasty. The sides were also very good and well stocked. I was able to save some room for dessert. The crème brûlée, apple almond pie, coconut puffs were outstanding! Our server was Joseph and he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. My entire family really liked Joseph and would go back to Salty's just to have him as our server. The entire experience was great. The buffet price at the time of our visit was $95 for adults and substantially less for children. This was my second visit to the Salty's Sunday brunch and it was worth every penny. Thanks again Joseph!

We were riding our E-bikes along Alki Beach when we spotted this restaurant and decided to stop in…read more My wife wanted a Bahnmi sandwich but she had also been craving pho, so it seemed like the perfect place to check out and maybe add to our list of go-to spots when we're in town. The decor was clean and comfortable--nothing flashy, just a nice, welcoming setup. It's not a huge place, but there's a fair amount of seating, especially when you include the bar area. The overall vibe is kind of a mix between a sports bar and an Asian restaurant, with TVs in the bar showing different games, which is great if you like to catch some sports while you eat. They also have a full bar, so you can enjoy a drink with your meal or just relax with a cocktail while watching a game. My wife ordered the combo pho, and I went with the chicken and shrimp vermicelli bowl. The service was excellent--Jenni and the rest of the staff were friendly and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was that the vermicelli bowl came with just two shrimp on a skewer. To get more, I had to order the shrimp skewers separately, which came with four skewers and two shrimp on each. That part could've been better, but the food itself was delicious--fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. I also liked how close it was to our Airbnb, which made it a super convenient stop after a long day. Overall, great food, great service, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

The tamarind whiskey sour is delicious, love that tartness to it and the wings were sooo good. I wasn't expecting much but they exceed my expectation. The little salad that accompanied the wings were nice to have as well. I wanted rice but I didn't want to order it. Location isn't convenient if it's busy but the space is fairly large and so cute. Will definitely come back to visit.
