Food was alright, you're definitely paying for the view and the convenient location! We had people who were seemingly homeless asking for money and it was not too much of an enjoyable experience. We also came because there was a photo of funnel cake, but they do not sell funnel cake! read more

Been to Tin Fish a few times now, service is always good and the food never disappoints. The fish is always fresh and cooked to perfection. The fish tacos are so good! They are huge! I couldn't even finish one whole taco. I always make it a point to eat at Tin Fish when I'm town. read more

I wanted to love this place as the food looked really great, however once we started eating it all went downhill. My husband liked his food well enough, and the service was fine. Waiting about 20 minutes in line and another 15 for the food but its very busy so that's to be expected. Ambiance can't get better then being right by the beach. My issue comes in as I do not eat fish, i get physically nauseous if I do. I ordered their chicken fingers (which are ridiculously tiny) and fries. The chicken tasted so much like fish that I almost puked after my first bite. I had my husband try one and he truly thought it was a fish stick and not chicken. Luckily I'm not allergic but it's very obvious they fry the chicken and the fish in the same fryer. I will never come back again for that reason. read more

11:45 am Saturday Party of 2 7/25/2020 Okay so I was a little mad about the prices but figured that's what you expect at the beach markup plus seafood. However. We were actually impressed by the fried cod tacos. They are built on an 8 inch flour tortilla and have two solid pieces of fish in each one, the same size pieces you get in the fish and chips. I Always sample the wares a la carte before I taste the whole package or add sauce bc I want to see if the ingredients stand up on their own. Fried cod tender and well fried, not greasy Cabbage slaw - another surprisingly good item, a little sweet with a good acid balance. Cross cut fries - great texture, not soggy or greasy, seasoned well. Shrimp taco, 6 pieces of shrimp somewhere between the size of a quarter and a 50 cent piece. Doing my best to describe bc yelp wont let me post pictures. Sad and frustrated to be Stuck at 4175 photos since March 2020. Help! Great meal, would come again. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my husband to try this place out but didn't like it very much. We got their fish plate and fried halibut chips and we're not impressed. The breading on the fish was subpar and taste was very generic to what you'd expect for a fish and chips place by the ocean. Pricey too for what you get but you are at the beachfront. Keep looking elsewhere unless you're truly hangry. read more

Tin Fish - Fish Plate | Fried Halibut and Chips - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, California

I was here yesterday with no mask and enjoyed a wonderful fish and chips platter. Today they decide to put out a "masks required" sign. So I approached the small window to order, similar to the windows fast food have created with plexiglass, and was immediately turned away. I guess they only enforce their rules on certain days of the week. It was busy today so I'm guessing they have to put on a good show for the city so they don't close them down. I'm done Tin Fish. I liked your food for all these years and recommended you to visitors. No more. Good luck and I hope your random mask policy works out for you. Edited: To be fair, their food is good. So I'll up it one more star. Service needs a serious upgrade though. read more

Outstanding breakfast burrito! Meat bees were annoying, but lots of outside seating. The employee was super friendly and helpful. Near the ocean read more

My husband and I came to O'side to celebrate my birthday weekend away from the Arizona heat. Once we checked into our hotel we made a beeline for Tin Fish. We've talked about returning there for literally over a year, and when we decided to make the trip to CA, we knew Tin Fish was "on the menu" (pun intended). We each got the Fish, Shrimp and Crab Cake Combo, and then when our order was called up, we remembered why we usually share an order. There is so much food, it's simply too much for one person, even a very hungry person. However, the food was every bit as awesome as it was when we first had it two years ago, so it was good to know the quality remains excellent. Had we been staying for a full week like we usually do, we would have returned for a second meal there later in the week. The clam chowder is pretty tasty, too. So if you find yourself near the Oceanside Pier, pop down below and pay a visit to Tin Fish for some amazing grub. You will not be sorry. read more

I hate leaving this review because Tin Fish used to be one of the best. We recently had lunch -- Fish and chips and Clam Chowder. The fish was the worst I have ever had. It was tough. I come to Oceanside 2 or 3 times each year and this was always a good choice since i stay nearby at the Wyndham. I will not go back. The Onion rings were really good and the cole slaw was also good. The Clam Chowder was OK. read more

Service was friendly and quick. Food was great. I had the shrimp&cod combo. Would definitely eat there again.

Great fried sea food with an odd location, under the pier. Portions could be a Larger. But everything was well prepared. Great for grab and walk along the beach. read more

Came here for lunch with my family before fishing at the pier. I ordered New England clam chowder with oyster crackers and a large onion ring. This place does not disappoint great crispy onion rings and excellent tasting you and clam chowder. The food was very delicious and my family loved and enjoyed it. Great service from Noah, Noah gave us great service and food from the very beginning. Wonderful service and great food. What more can you want. Thank you Noah. We will come again. Hope you are there to serve us great food When we come again. Five stars for this place. Thanks. read more

If you love being stung by a hoard of bees by all means stop here to eat your way over priced food. It's a good thing I'm not allergic to bee stings. The over flowing trash cans just feet from the tables have hundreds of bees in, on and around them. They seemed to very aggressively want our Cole slaw. Beware read more

Lack of flavor. 8/13/22 around 8pm. I didn't love or like it unfortunately. They give you the tacos in two mini corn tortillas that dissolve in your hand when you are trying to eat the taco so everything falls out on your plate. Lack in flavor. Too bad because I wanted some good seafood and with the high prices that they have I thought it was going to be very promising. Regretful experience with money in the trash. Like I said they have very high prices for very bad tasting food. The waffle fries had some odd flavor. Omg overall tasting food was horrible. Also the food made me sick the next day. Maybe there something unsanitary and the owner needs to check on that. 5 stars for great customer service. read more

Very good food. We ordered the fish and chips 6 piece and the clam chowder bread bowl. The fish (cod) was perfectly cooked and delicious. The clam chowder was also good but just seemed like it was missing something compared to other top of the line chowder restaurants. All in all, highly recommend if you are near the Oceanside pier. It's a bit pricey, about $15 for 6 small strips of cod and $11 for a chowder bread bowl, but still some of the best quick seafood you can get in the area. read more

I HAVE TO START THIS REVIEW WITH A OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! So many awesome food adventures here in OceanSide & I saw that they had fish tacos for under 6$ and the taco was like 8 inches long and 4 inches think filled with the best fried fish and vegetables and sauces on top! YO the first bite was incredible and the bite after that was even better, within like 3 minutes I was completely done with the taco! I did what any normal person would do & decided to come back 30 mins later and order 3 more of these! I do have to say the line is a hit or miss , sometimes the line is either 30 mins long or 2 minutes long! If there is a way to order online from here I highly recommend trying to do that, so it can save you some time to enjoy the food a whole late faster! The fries here you can get are cross cut fries and they were very good as well! I suggest you come here to eat! read more

Bomb cheeseburgers! French fries could use a little seasoning but they came through with being crispy! Will definitely be back.

Lots of stairs to get to this cute place under the pier in Oceanside. Food was very good, reasonably priced & served quickly (take-out.) very popular with locals. read more

The best fish tacos ever! One is a meal. Truly you have to try them. Salmon was my favorite but my husband and I tried 4 different ones and they were all good. The tacos were so good we never tried anything else but I bet their other dishes are good too. Not fast food, good food. read more

I love eating local fresh caught fish. They do it right here. Eating outside looking at the ocean makes it great. Customer service is good too. What a treat! read more

1st to Oceanside pier wanted fresh fish. Fisherman's platter was on the special $19.95 fresh halibut, scallops, shrimp with fries snd cole slaw. Very good. Outdoor seating beautiful view. Full menu and plenty of choices. read more

My daughter swears this is the best coleslaw on earth. We eat here when we want "real food" on the pier, as opposed to funnel cakes and churros and pretzels (which i also want). There are large picnic style tables, of course all outdoors, which is perfect since the pandemic is not over. The staff is really nice and it doesn't take too very long, considering they are making everything fresh and there's usually a line. While you wait, you can be entertained by them calling names into their microphone that absolutely NO ONE can understand. Seriously, do they put the mic IN their mouth??! It's really funny. also, they should totally sell Tin Fish stickers!!!! read more

What a great place to have some delicious seafood while watching the waves roll in! We tried the Cod and Halibut Tacos and both were yummy! They were fried to a golden-brown perfection with a nice crunch on the outside, but still moist and flaky on the inside. The service time was very quick, too, but it was obvious the fish was cooked to order on the spot. Great place we'd love to return to when we're back in town. read more

Good fish right by the Ocean! We ordered on a Friday night and there was no line and we got our food quickly. I ordered the fish kids meal and that comes with fries and apple sauce and a drink. My fiancé ordered the fish sandwich. Both meals were delicious and we got to watch the sunset together from the tables outside. Friendly staff and fair prices! read more

Super delicious! My husband and I shared the fish tacos and some fish and chips. Our favorite was the grilled halibut taco. Great prices and portion sizes. Would recommend -- but for takeout only. There were tons of bees swarming our food as we ate, and they kept coming back immediately after we shooed them away. I'd give it a 5/5 for the ood but I'm leaving a 4/5 review because the bees were not fun. read more

Sooooo Delicious! I literally came to the pier just for this! (Beach was a lil too crowded so went to another) Calamari was melt in your mouth good. The Sourdough Bread Bowl was perfectly toasted. Clam Chowder was creamy and had a lot of clams. Flavor was perfect read more

This location is much better than the Gaslamp location. It's nice to be able to get some decent seafood at the beach. I had the fish and oyster combo. I enjoyed the waffle cut fries. The fish slices were small but just the right size if you're kicking it on the sand. The oysters we're also very good for beach food. When you get your food they warn you about the birds. They will swoop down and nab your food from your hand or plate. I've seen it before at Newport Beach. Overall I was pleased with my food and plan on returning. read more

This is a little hole in the wall type place on the walk way of the beach. I had the mahi mahi, chicken, and shrimp tacos. They were awesome! Lots of good toppings on them. My wife had some chicken nuggets and hush puppies and she really liked them. My teenager who is very picky liked her shrimp and that is saying A LOT! My 6 year old son who only eats three things even liked the hush puppies. read more

Stopping by Tin Fish completed our Oceanside experience. We tried the fried fish cod taco and a bowl of clam chowders. The taco was a generous portion and had the perfect balance of crisp and sauce which had a great kick. The clam chowder was on the rich side which made it a little harder to taste the clams but nonetheless a must try for me in every beach town. read more

Always a favorite when we're in town. Our 11 meals we ordered online were completely correct and were ready at promised time. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome meal. The 1/2 fish and chips was just the right amount of food. My husband had fried shrimp, and we tried the crab cakes app. Great celery flavor and tons of crab! Hope we can come back soon! read more

Service was good, but the food, not so much. Clam chowder was way too salty. My husband said the fish and shrimp were just okay. Great location, though! read more

For the season sampler where it had the fish and chips, fried shrimp and onion rings! Delicious! So glad we came! Seating was a little challenging since it's first come first serve outdoor public seating. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Can you say "Fish and Chips" because if you visit the Tin Fish you need to try em. Their fish & chips are wonderful. The fish is lightly battered and spiced to perfection while the cross-cut fries are spot on! The accompanying coleslaw is ok. I've also had the opportunity to try their clam chowder... yummy! The restaurant is located at the lower entrance to the Oceanside Pier. The outdoor seating with the partial view of the ocean makes it even better. On my last three visits I've found the staff friendly but I feel there's a lot of room for improvement in customer service. I am giving a rating of four stars because of the wonderful food, great location but holding back on the fifth star because of my past few experiences with the level of customer service. read more
