The fries were fresh, hot, and really well-seasoned. The halibut came with a huge side of coleslaw and a creamy dill sauce. And when I say the dill was fresh, you could literally smell it as soon as we opened it! The sauce was creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We originally weren't sure what fish to get, but the woman recommended the halibut, and I'm so glad she did because it was the perfect choice. We got the 4-piece, and it was more than enough to feed two adults. The portions were generous, the food was fresh, and everything was delicious. Definitely would come back!

When we got there, 2 orders of Scallops & Fettuccine were on a tray about to be served piled high and looking and smelling fantastic we had come to the right place!

So happy that Fish & Chips is back open in a new storefront. While it may lack the Southern charm…read moreof the old house it used to be in, they inherited a good layout from Red Sauce (who are now in Beaumont). Fish & Chips can even host large parties now in the back room! This business is Southern fried fish, not British. As far as I know, it's the only restaurant of its kind in Portland, so we're very lucky that it's so good! In Southern style, the batter is light and thin, but very crispy, and the various orders come with an assortment of the classic "meat and 3" Southern sides -- okra, greens, slaw, fries. There's a few BBQ options for the person in your group who doesn't like seafood, but the fish is really where it's at. It's also very affordable, particularly when yo consider the amount of food you're getting. 2 pieces of fish sounds paltry but they're very big pieces -- order a 4 piece to split. While they do most of their business as takeout, I recommend eating in the restaurant so that you can get stuff as crispy as possible. Plus, their crowd of regulars always has some great stories. Don't skip the dessert case! Take dessert home if you don't have the room for it. (42nd Ave Fish & Chips was at Emerson & 42nd for more than 15 years, and just recently moved to the new location)

The coating even held up perfectly to the steelhead I ordered, which, as you know if you love steelhead like I do, is a very fatty/oily delicate fish. I've tried making beer batter with steelhead before and it both breaks apart too easily and also, the oil and fat of the fish make the coating get soggy very fast. Not here! The steelhead was super fresh and tasty. But wait, there's more, much, much more...! When I say that I mean the portions. Holy fabulous fish fry fantasy, Batman! These are BIG chunks of fish, each about the size of half a fillet! See the picture! I ended up giving 1 away to some people near me (who LOVED it) because there was no way I could eat all this! Even with that, I was so full, I could only eat like 3 french fries. And, the fries were very good, handmade, thick cut wedges, not quite jojo's, but thick enough to be super fluffy inside. But, that's not all...! She said she makes everything from scratch, including the tartar sauce. Oh, I love tartar sauce for my fish and chips, and this one was SO gooooooooood! Now, I can't imagine she made the ketchup, but I was very happy to find that, instead of a few measly commercial packets, I got two, count 'em, TWO nice big containers for dipping, much better than most carts. This was the perfect mix of protein and a bit of carbs before a hard bike ride down the Springwater and back!

Flaky, thin, and well seasoned halibut! I'm not a fan of coleslaw, yet loved their flavor and freshness of it. I could tell it wasn't sitting around soggy at all. Few outside benches for the lucky good weather day I visited. Cozy indoor tables for rainy PNW weather with small yet enough variety deli options and offerings everything seafood. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff answered all my questions about their supply and shipment of each type of fish they use for fish & chip. I told a staff at the deli counter I wish they considered offer fish ceviche in the future. They have one stall restroom inside. Street parking all around the area. I'm on the search for fish & chip replacement spot in PDX area since my favor go to spot in Newport shows their ugly side in this polarized climate. Will definitely come back whenever I crave fish & chip and definitely for special occasion since I can't afford to eat out often with each meal around $30 plus 20% tip, and since I stopped going to the Newport location in November 2024 and while I continue to check out other fish & chip in metro PDX. Plus I hate using so much oil and prep time to make fish at chip at home.

I ordered the fried oysters and paid extra to add one piece of halibut. When I asked for tartar…read moresauce, I was told I had to pay an additional 75 cents. I explained that since I had ordered a piece of fish, I assumed tartar sauce would come with it. The man's response was very rude. He told me, "You shouldn't assume, because it's not." I understand that restaurants may have a charge for extra sauces, and I have no problem paying for something if that's the policy. What bothered me was the way he spoke to me. It's not the 75 cents that prompted me to write this review--it's the unnecessary attitude and lack of basic customer service. A simple, polite explanation would have made a big difference. Food was very good. Would have 5 stars.

Prawn taco: 3 stars good flavor on the prawn but completely covered up by the hefty toppings. I had to try the prawns plain to get a sense of the taste. Mostly would describe as the mango flavor with little spice from any habenero. Catfish chili taco: 3.5 stars , solid flavor but completely covered by the wasabi slaw. No chili taste was present. Would be more accurate to call it wasabi catfish- i happen to love wasabi but it still overpowered any depth of flavor to soley be a wasabi taco. The flavors overall were pretty good, however there was very little balance in the tacos. I recommend if you like a heavy taco, not focused on the meat that these would be the tacos for you. With a little more balance allowing the seafood and the spice blends to shine these could be top notch, but they fall short. I was able to also try the yellow fin tuna fish and chip special and I would not recommend that at all. The texture on the fried tuna was downright dense and poor. There is a reason tuna is typically seared and not fried- and this highlighted it for me. The standard breading was VERY light, and provided no texture or taste for the dense fish. I would only recommend getting a standard fish like cod, or halibut and with the beer batter for the fish and chips. I would only rate the yellow fin with standard batter 1.5 stars The guy running the place was very nice

We always get the down and dirty fries and the tacos locos. The meat is SO tender and good, cooked to absolute perfection and no bad pieces. The fries are for sure house cut and fried, the onions (all three varieties pickled, grilled, and fresh) are AMAZING. The real stand out for me on both dishes are the sauces that come on them both. They're so unique and delicious! They both are very cheesy too, which my boyfriend and I LOVE and were so impressed with the cheese pull on the tacos. They food doesn't take too long, I'd say about 5-10 minutes on average, maybe 15 on a busy day and it's absolutely worth the wait. The best part though is that I have a seafood allergy (both fin fish and shell fish) and my partner spoke to the owner of the cart who made a point to make sure I didn't get cross contaminated when they were running a shrimp special, and even remembered us when we came back!
