    Prawn and Chips (it was a 6 piece but my boyfriend got to it before I could take a pic!
    Mae D.

    First of all, the staff was the sweetest. Not sure if they own the Fish House but they are so friendly and welcoming. You do have to call to order (they don't have online ordering yet). The inside of the restaurant is casual with plenty of seating. Located further south on California Ave, they have better street parking in the area. They make it fresh and piping hot! The cod and prawns were perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, but perfectly cooked on the inside (not over cooked at all!). The fries were also fried perfectly golden, crunchy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. The clam chowder though is where it's at. Don't you dare skip it because it's the BEST clam chowder I've ever had, and I've had a lot of clam chowders from many fish houses not just in WA. It's creamy, the ingredients hold their integrity, and you can taste the flavor of the good sized chunks of clams. I wish they had a larger size or I should have ordered more! What a gem in West Seattle and very much worth coming here. It's close to us (we live along Delridge), parking is easy, prices are reasonable for Seattle, food is phenomenal, and the staff just really makes this place special! I see why they are highly rated!We will be back!

    Very tasty Cod and Prawns
    Scott P.

    Very tasty I had the special 2 Cod, 3 Prawns with Chips. Loved the crispy breading on the fish and shrimp. I'm not a "French Fry Guy" but these chips were tasty and crisp. Small shop , mostly takeout I assume but there are a few tables for dining in. Staff/owners were very kind and welcoming

    Cod and   fries

    Food was hot. Tasty Customer Service was excellent. Five star review will return here soon.

    Cole Slaw & Mac n cheese
    Erica C.

    The fish and chips were really the star of the show. The sides were such a disappointment. Cole slaw was $4 and had no seasoning, kinda watery and bland. Mac n cheese was the biggest disappointment. For $7 the portion was small with over cooked noodles and a sauce curdy and flavorless. The noodles literally stuck together while also being so brittle since it's over cooked. The Mac n cheese are pre-made, portioned into these containers and finished off by Chef Mic(rowave). At this point, we were kind of rethinking our life decisions and wondered why we walked into this establishment in the first place. Only thing that saved the meal was the fish and chips. The fish was crunchy and so tender. It just melted in your mouth. The fries also didn't disappoint nor was it something epic. Service was also amazing, the lady was kind and threw in an extra piece of fish.

    the outside of the restaurant

    The prawns are not to be missed if you're a fan of prawns, big and crispy! My family did a tour of Fish & Chips while in Seattle, this seemed to be the favorite of all 8 of us! We hit about 5 different fish and chips spots. Great fish, crispy light breading. Their clam chowder wasn't my favorite. Wish I could describe why, but I just didn't love it. The interior has three small 2 person tables and some chairs, but no AC, really warm on the Seattle hot days. Seems locals know to order takeout, a lot of people were in and out picking up orders. The owners were super sweet and kind, spot is the definition of a small, family business.

    SPUDS!!! West Seattle's staple when walking, bicycling, roller blading, or cruising the Alki…read morestrip!! I've been coming here since the 80's, and brought all of my family through here. Whether my immediate and local to out of towners, we always stop by to take in this classic spot of Fish & Chips! Today was a trip into nostalgia. It's been a minutes since I've been here, and cruised some iconic places in West Seattle, and it wouldn't have been complete without a Two Piece Cod Fish & Chips with their signature fries. It wouldn't be complete without trying one of their shakes. It was such a beautiful day out, and we opted to sit outside and take in the scenery and people. Thank you for the decades of memories, whether with HS buddies, girlfriends, wife, kiddos, and Grandbubbies... like I said... it's a staple and a must do! As always, Enjoy & Happy beaching!

    OMG, what is happening? West Seattle locals, my wife and I have a favorite order that has gone up…read morein price 20% since we last ordered. This is out of control. $13 for a single piece of cod, no fries or anything? $28 for halibut and chips? This is insane. We've been coming here for years but this stops now. I will just make it myself from now on. Fuck Trump and his stupid tariffs, wars, and inflation. And fuck Katie Wilson for her ignorant liberal commie bullshit.

    Great Seafood Spot!! Everything was delicious and made to order. Floured and fried as soon as you…read moreorder. I had a Shrimp Po'Boy sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries and coleslaw. Also had a cup of their amazing clam chowder. Place was very clean and organized. Service was very fast and friendly. They had a small seating area inside and some large picnic tables outside. There was plenty of parking.

    Our second Fish and Chips tasting in Seattle…read more Little mom and pop shop. We got there late so the place was pretty empty. There are picnic benches but more like a grab n go kind of place. We wanted to try their fish and chips but they happen to serve Seafood gumbo on some days. I am a sucker for gumbo but most of the places outside of NOLA had let me down big time. So I hesitated. I decided to asked for a spoon of gumbo to sample before I order a cup. The young man at the counter started scooping a cup, yes, a real cup so I figured he heard me wrong. When I asked how much, he replied, free for you. Really?! Awesome!!! Now my husband and son's turn, ok, they ordered like there's no tomorrow and below is how I ranked them. Seafood Gumbo - OMG, other than a little saltier for my taste, it is on point. As good as it can get. Highly recommended. Clam chowder- not bad but gumbo was way better. Fried chicken- was alright. Crab puppies - yummy Fried calamari- tough and chewy Fishes - soggy way too dried Salmon - very light battered which were great but fish were dried. Way over fried. Shrimps - over fried and dried Clam strips - too dried Chips - all were soggy even though we asked for extra crispy. Slaw - crisp and tasty. I rather eat this than the soggy fries/chips. I would definitely return for the seafood gumbo and crab puppies.

    After a long day out we were hungry for lunch and seeking a sit down restaurant. We came across…read morethis restaurant at the corner of Pike Place Market. When we arrived we looked them up on yelp and they got 4 stars so we proceeded. We got in line around 1:30pm, Sunday, September 20, 2026. There was one party in front of us and they were told 5-10 minutes so when we came up in line they said the same thing to us. They didn't ask for our name or get our phone number. They just said stand to the side and she'd call us up and gave us a menu to help us to plan what we . And that's exactly what happened. We stood with the other group next to the posted menu. As promised we waited not more then 10 minutes. When we asked we stated that we'd take the first table, inside or outside didn't matter to us. We sat inside and it was a very nice seat. The restaurant was really busy when we arrived. By the time we left there were lots of open tables open. We ordered the halibut fish and chips to split. They went out of their way and split it for us. It was so nicely plated. We were impressed by the presentation. The meal was perfect. The fish was perfectly fried to a crisp and the fish was very tender and flaky and didn't taste fishy at all. The fries were crispy like I like them. For such a busy place we had great service. She checked on us several times and brought us more water and ketchup. I really like them dill tarter sauce. It was so tasty.
