Combo #2-2 pieces of fish with chips
Anthony P.

After some surprisingly disappointing Fish & Chips meals in the UK, I came back to the Bay Area with a craving. This place came up in a search, and I made my way over to check them out. The place is in the corner of a strip mall. I arrived around 3pm yesterday (Saturday) and I was the only customer there. The place gives sports bar vibes, except that they didn't have TVs. I think it'd be great to add them and make it a spot to catch the local sports teams' games. The woman working the counter was friendly and the menu on the display was easy to navigate. I went for the #2 combo which came with two pieces of fish and crinkle-cut fries as chips. I picked tartar sauce and malted vinegar as my condiments. I received the food within a reasonable amount of time and it was cooked to order. The fish was cooked just right (tender and moist) and was perfectly battered and crispy on the outside. The fries were also excellent and I ate them all even though I was full. Overall, this was a positive experience. The restaurant had a variety of other fried seafood on the menu. I plan to come back with friends and try some of the other offerings.

After came home from London, I started to have some craving about fish and chips, searched for one near work in Sunnyvale and found this little place hiding in a corner of a shopping center. Went there for lunch and the place was empty on a Thursday, I think most people take out instead of eating in. I ordered a 2 piece for $14, and eat in because I wanted them hot and crispy. The order was made to order and they came out quite hot and crispy both fish and chips. They're so good, no fishy smell, the fish was so white and tasty with vinegar and tartar sauce. Enjoy every bite just like fish and chips in London. The only thing that fell short is the chips. They're crispy but not as rich and tasty as real fresh potato fries. Anyhow, it hit the spot and I liked it. Will come back here whenever I have a crave for fish and chips, glad it's not too far from work.

Fish and chips - nicely fried - well seasoned. It's cod

Had a random craving for fish and chips - this place did not disappoint. The onion rings were lightly fried and crispy! Some of the best onion rings I've had

Stopped by this spot due to the great reviews and because I love fish and chips, but I gotta say the fish and chips tasted like they were brought frozen and then fried (in that case I cna do that at home); it didn't taste terrible, it was just different. Good customer service and a lot of seating inside! This place is tucked into a corner of a small shopping center with a variety of foods and grocery stores, with plenty of parking.

10/14/2023 Bay Fish and Chips 826 W El Camino Real Sunnyvale, CA 94087 I went there for lunch in search of fried clams. I discovered that this is one of the only places that offer this around me. It is located at the corner in a small shopping center off ECR close to Hollenbeck Ave. The interior is spacious and dim. I ordered and paid at the counter and my food was swiftly brought to my table My clams and chips came with tubs of cocktail sauce and malt vinegar, tartar sauce is available. The doughy breading was a golden brown enclosing sweet tender strips of clam. The fries were good. I've been here before for the just okay fish and chips but it's a definite repeat for the clams.

Haven't had fish and chips in awhile and thought of this place. We ordered the 15 prawns, oysters ans chips, fish and chips, and fried mushrooms ans zucchinis. Our order was available in 10 minutes! So fast! It is a small restaurant, but don't let that prevent you from checking them out. The last time I came around Easter there were so many people waiting in line for food. I love the fried oysters; my favorite! I also enjoyed the prawns, fries, and fried mushrooms. The batter is perfection! Love their tarter and cocktail sauce!

Fish, shrimp and chips in the forefront. Extra piece of fish and and fried mushrooms in the back.

I was in the area for work and was craving fish and chips. Parking is plentiful and is shared with other establishments in the little plaza. I opted for the fish and chips with shrimp. I then added an extra piece of fish and some fried mushrooms. Everything retained its heat from start to finish. I was biting into it and burning my mouth. That's how solid their batter is. Could use some seasoning, but that's where the tartar sauce and the vinegar come in. Really nice lady working the register. I saw a bunch of people taking their food to go. A little hole in the wall that I'd definitely frequent if I lived in the area or just in the area in general.

Menu and ordering area
Albie E.

This place is good if you're looking for some fried fish or just fried stuff in general. I ate here with my friend and the menu is simple, which is nice . You can get fried fish, calamari, fries and other seafood. Service is quick and you walk up to counter and order. You sit at table and they bring out your order within minutes. I've had fish and chips at a lot of places. I found the fish to be good, however a bit on the oily side and lots of batter. This place is good for going to grab a quick lunch, not spend a lot of money and quick service. Not a bad spot to eat, and food was a good size amount. I'd go back for more if around the area and not spend much on a meal. Parking is in a free lot and pretty easy to get to.

The coleslaw was perfectly dressed and honestly exceptional. This was by far the best fried fish I've ever had. Don't skip this place!

I found Barbara's on Yelp--solid 4-star rating, good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived and were told there was about a 20-minute wait, which felt reasonable for a weekend seafood spot. Once we were seated, things started off fine, but the experience quickly became a bit frustrating. There seemed to be a breakdown in communication with our server regarding our order. We placed everything clearly, but when the food came out, it wasn't what we had ordered. Instead of just clarifying or correcting it, we were told the order had been placed incorrectly on our side and were asked to reorder. Unfortunately, we were also still charged for the original order, which made the situation feel even more confusing. We also ordered the clam chowder, which was honestly disappointing. From the very first spoonful to the last, there was a consistent gritty, sandy texture that made it difficult to enjoy at all. It took away from what is usually a comfort dish, especially in a coastal town where you expect it to shine. On a positive note, our timing coincided with sunset, and the view from the window was absolutely stunning. Watching the sun dip over the water while dining added a really beautiful moment to the experience, and the scenery itself was honestly the highlight of the visit. The setting itself is nice and the location is convenient if you're exploring Half Moon Bay, but based on our experience, the execution on both service and food quality didn't match the expectations set by the rating. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity. With a bit more attention to order accuracy and consistency in the kitchen, this place could easily live up to its Yelp reputation--but unfortunately, that wasn't our experience that day.

Shrimp cocktail was good but weird- barely any sauce at the bottom of an ice cream glass with lettuce and tons of little shrimp- they use the word prawn lots but it's all shrimp. Flavor was good here.... Just oddly constructed. Calamari basket 10/10 I would have ordered another one, it was so so good!

Don't be fooled by the Sliders' presence on the printed menu or the whiteboard menu or on the Phil's Fish Market website, you will be denied with no explanation for the absence of their deliciousness. This time I tried the battered sole sandwich which was perfectly fried but unfortunately very bland. This dish comes with your choice of slaw or fries on the side: unless you are really into slaw, order the fries as the fish comes with a slaw-adjacent topping. Be advised that this sorta-slaw also contains thinly sliced fresh jalapeños, which I like but might take someone unaware. The Bloody Mary was good, as always. I really wish Phil's would improve the non-alcohol drink ordering process: to purchase a soda requires one order at the same counter as placing food orders. That's fine if you order a soda while ordering your meal however if you decide halfway through that you want to switch from Bloody Marys to a Coke, it's back to the end of the long food line for you.

3.5 rounded up to 4. It's alright. Is the food on par with typical fish and chip places in England?…read moreNo, but the pub decor is nice. I like the mini wooden barrels that the condiments and the napkins and silverware are placed in. I'm not sure why people were raving about the krab cake. It's imitation krab. It's not good or worth the stomach space in my opinion. I wasn't paying attention when my partner suggested we order it. I would rather the two pieces of fish combo in the future. The fish they use is okay. The fried sausage was a deep fried sausage. Not the tastiest sausage but the friedness was novel. The fries are solid. Slightly thick, a bit soft, but still crispy on the edges. Everything was freshly fried and served hot. The batter they use for the fish is different than the onion rings. I thought that the onion rings would use a wet beer batter on them but they were breaded, like bread crumb breaded. My favorite item was the fried mars bar for dessert. The beer that was recommended to me was half Guinness and half cider and it was refreshing to drink. They need to re-write the sign by the door. About 1/3 of the people get confused. One of the servers gets mad at people who wait politely by the door especially when the restaurant is full because they don't know whether to wait to get seated or to go all the way to the bar to ask for a seat and order. Instead of welcoming customers and letting them know that they'll be next to get seated or if there are people in front of them, she sternly said something like "You need to go to the front to order first before you can get a table." Well, that's kind of out of the norm and what is the front? The front door? Or is it the back of the restaurant near the bar? She meant the bar. Luckily we had a different server and she was nice.
