Seafood Combo and Chips
Jetrina M.

We went here for a very casual dinner on a Friday evening. It's located right off the beach in an area that has multiple eateries. You order at a window and there is no dedicated seating, but some communal seating with the other restaurants. We took our food and ate on the beach. We ordered the fish and chips and the combo and chips (fish and shrimp). The portions were huge and then fish and shrimp were fried perfectly. You can choose a salt flavor for your fries as well and j chose a garlic seasoning. Would definitely recommend this place for a delicious but casual fish and chips. Only downside was the seating, but not too bad since you can just sit by the water.

Order here.

This is a little grab and go snack shack just off of the main boardwalk in Venice Beach. It's well decorated and colorful. - I purchased the fries and I found them very delicious. The person taking my order was polite and answered all of my questions. The service was quick and I enjoyed my experience.

Box of Large Chips
Batilly C.

Ordered a box of chips because I smelled it from someone else and asked them where they got the fries. They are hand cut Belgian type fries where it's thick cut and perfectly crispy on the outside and piping out in the middle where you go "ahhh ahhhhh ahhh" with your mouth because it's so fresh and hot. I captioned the photo "fry facial" because you are literally getting a facial with the steam when you opened the box. It comes with two toppings and a sauce if your choice. I went with garlic and rosemary. Winning combo when it's already seasoned with salt. Every bite had both. Couldn't even finish because the order was plentiful. Will def come back.

A+ Fishies & jalapeño seasoned Chippies.

Window Only, outside seating. Delicious! Those are your bullet points. Eater LA had a mini-spotlight on this spot in their top places to eat in Venice, CA. Otherwise, it's a tiny hole in the wall, in a weird eclectic area, that I would've walked past. But we drove here, specifically for this place. Anyway, They were right. The classic Fish & Chips is BIG and fantastic. Very filling. They offer spices for their fries too. Obvi I went with the jalapeño seasoning, and it was GREAT. Super helpful employee who explained all the options well. If anyone I know goes to Venice, I will recommend this spot.

Vegan fish and Chips
Hope C.

Great little spot on the cutest plaza off the main strip. Fresh hand cut fries. Food hit the spot, a tad oily but it's fried seafood so ya know. Great service and came out pretty quick, hot and fresh. Love the vegan fish and chips option they had, something for everyone

Classic fish & chips

Fish & chips spot alongside Venice Beach. The fish is pretty decent (not the most tender that I've had but still hits the craving for it) but the chips (or fries) though.....wowow. Super tasty with the California rosemary chippy salt (I'm really curious about the other chippy salt flavors now!). Ended up not even using any condiment dips for them. Entree is sharable for two people as like a satiating snack portion otherwise I recommend ordering double. Wished there was more seating right in front of the shop as there is only one dedicated two-seat table and a bench (the neighboring food spots provide more). Overall I recommend checking this place out if hunger strikes while exploring Venice Beach!

Was in the area and wanted to try this place. The fish and chips didn't impress me. The fish was crispy and juicy but it tasted like it was fried in old oil. We got the garlic fries and those were good. It was just average. I wouldn't come back. Staff was really nice and there's a few tables and chairs out front to sit and eat. Parking is beach parking that's paid or if you can find parking around Windward circle.

Wee Chippy has some Excellent fish & chips. Staff are Friendly and all the food was super hot. You get a lot of choices with all their flavors you want on your fries as well and I like that because they were super great! Bottom line give this place a try for fish, shrimp and fries! We will be back !!

Misty E.

SIMPLY DELICIOUS! I wasn't sure what to expect from this place when it was suggested for a try but all I can say is yummm! We went in National French Fry Day, and who doesn't like French fries?? Well their fries are thick hand cut delicious goody goodness! Not only that, they have VEGAN options!! Like, what?!? Yes!!! Vegan fish and chips, vegan sauces...yesss! They're located on Venice boardwalk area so it's quite touristy there (which we try to avoid) but given how delicious this food was, ughh it looks like I'll have to get over my avoidance of that area. Parking is what it is near the boardwalk...difficult lol, so if you want free parking, park a few blocks away and walk. Service was great and the food took about 15 mins. We will be back!

Restaurant façade

This was hands down the worst fish and chips I've had in Los Angeles. The manager admitted the fish were pre-bought sticks--likely from Smart & Final. The calamari was overcooked and brown, the oil tasted old, and the batter had a strange chemical flavor. Both seafood items were bland and soggy. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you're just ordering the fries, which were surprisingly decent. Everything else? A deep-fried disappointment.

Simple and delicious. Took a nice long round trip walk from Venice to Santa Monica and was starving at the end. Saw this little hole-in-the-wall and thought, "why not?" The fish and chips here are so crispy and light. The fish has the perfect crunch and is so soft and buttery inside. The chips are also good. Get the UK curry and ask for it mixed with the garlic! The guy at the window recommended this combo and i'm glad he did. For a fully fried meal, it was surprisingly light. Not greasy at all and hit the spot! Had enough chips to take home to air fry and enjoy later.

Fish was crispy. The salt and dipping sauce options were plentiful. They even had vegan and gluten free options. Sold out fast (by 3pm).

Regular fries and sauces.
Shaji K.

Tucked away fish and chips spot off the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Small ordering window outside with the menu to the right. Opted for the Box O Chips ($4.50) to go along with jalapeno salt, chipotle ketchup, and chipotle mayo. The wait is surprisingly long, as it took 20 minutes for the order to be ready (fresh batch at least). Fries are cooked perfectly - crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. Salt is not overbearing and gives it a slight kick. Sauces are good as well, probably would opt for the malt vinegar next time. Didn't have the fish, but if the fries are any indication then it's worth getting as well.

Ask the Community - The Wee Chippy

Are the Vegan Fish & Chips 100% Vegan (no animal products cooked in the same fryer/no cross contamination)?

Hi Heather. Yes, 100% Vegan.

We went to Wee Chippy on Tuesday 12/8/2020. Got there before 12 so waited for opening. We waited until 12:30 and it didn't open. Wondering if they are having COVID issues and closed?

Sorry Sharon you had that experience! We normally do open on Tuesday. and close Wednesday, but we were having a piece of equipment being delivery that Wednesday, so we changed the days around . We are back to the normal schedule now. Sorry for your…

This place is such a gem! The menu is on point. From the octopus salad to what might be the best Peruvian ceviche I've had since actually being in Peru, and the best part, it's all incredibly fresh and sourced from New Zealand; this place is a must-try. And considering LA prices and the quality and freshness of seafood coming all the way from New Zealand, the price point is actually really great. The service is also amazing. Clark is incredibly knowledgeable about the menu (and just great in general). You can also order platters to go ...they'll prep and shuck everything for you, or provide everything you need to do it yourself, which is my preferred route since I actually love shucking my own. Net-net: an LA gem and an absolute must-try. And then probably try again...and again. Enjoy!

I walked in at 2 and it was empty but it was open so I opted to sit outside where there was a breeze. I ordered the lobster reef SVB and it was decent. I also ordered the tuna crispy rice, I wasn't expecting that much tuna on top of it. Also it wasn't like the many other crispy rice I had. If you're not completely comfortable with eating this amount of raw tuna, with zero sauce on it...I would skip it. But it was a generous portion. Ordered the mussels with extra garlic bread ($4.95) I knew I wasn't going to finish it but I love garlic bread for my curry sauce. The mussles itself was pretty big. Bigger than some places I have ordered at. The curry sauce was underwhelming for me. I seek out places that offers mussles without the traditional garlic white wine sauce. Curry is usually the 2nd option in most places. Although it had curry flavor. Something was missing. Maybe some spice or something. But I also love bolder flavors, so it might be perfect for everyone else. Overall, I got to try this place since it's been on my list. My bill was about $95 before tip. Street parking only, it would be difficult during dinner rush since there are several hot spots aceoss the street.

The oysters and salmon were especially memorable--about as fresh as seafood gets. We ended up ordering far more than we probably should have, but it gave us a chance to sample a good cross-section of the menu. We started with a half dozen oysters and the mussels before moving on to the branzino, cioppino, and Yukon potatoes. Everything was excellent, and the portions were generous enough that we brought more than half of our entrées home for another meal. I'd only been to the seafood market once before, but this dinner reminded me that there's much more to this place than buying fresh fish. Since I work nearby, I've already decided to make Friday stops part of my routine so I can pick up fresh seafood for dinner on the way home. Would we come back? Absolutely. Whether you're looking for an outstanding seafood meal or fresh fish to take home, Santa Monica Seafood is well worth the visit.

The corn is not like the regular corn we have at the grocery store. It has a bit more bite to it in terms of texture like it's not soft. Passion fruit juice was absolutely needed after all day on the beach. The cake has swirls of dulce de leche, very tasty. I would come back just for the lomo saltado alone! Service was friendly and fast. They have a few tables inside and a few outside. Right on the Venice boardwalk so if you dine outside, you also get a show with your meal.

When I returned about 10 minutes later to pick up my food, she went through everything she had packed in the bag: hot sauce, 3 tartar sauces, 2 cocktail sauces, salt, pepper, and vinegar I was floored! She went out of her way to make sure I had more than enough condiments without me having to ask again. That kind of thoughtfulness and customer service goes a LONG way! I had to try a piece of fish and a shrimp while everything was still hot. The food was super crispy, perfectly cooked and not overly greasy. The outside was crunchy and the fish and shrimp were still tender on the inside. Everything was phenomenal!!!! I will absolutely be back! As I mentioned, it's sad to see so many of these longtime neighborhood fish-and-chips spots disappear across LA. Finding one that serves great food and has outstanding customer service makes me happy to support a local business. Highly recommend A Salt Fish & Chips on Santa Monica Boulevard! If you grew up in LA during the '80/90's and remember these neighborhood fish-and-chips spots, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And if you've never tried them, this is a great place to start. I'll definitely be back!
