The swordfish was an excellent choice! Would eat it again!!

Food was okay, probably the best you're gonna get on the island considering what else is offered on the island. Not the most authentic, since it's not battered. Service wasn't great to be honest.

I'm a self-proclaimed fish and chips snob, having been in Scotland while in the Navy for 2 years, so my standards are a bit high. I'd give the food a solid 4, breading is the key. Most US F&C is heavily breaded which is a no-no, but this was bery light. I prefer fillet-style pieces, these we more rectangular fish stick looking but a good amount of fish still. They got bonus points for having plenty of malt vinegar and salt available, and what got them from a 4 to 5cstars was they had good pricing on both the F&C as well as beer, while being on the pier in a California resort town. Great place, definitely the best deal we have had on our many trips to Catalina Island.

This is more of an experience than a gastronomical treat. Located at the end of the Green Pier, it is a very interesting place to dine. All the seating is outdoors (see my pic) - so plan accordingly. There are great views of the harbor (see my pics).The people watching is great: people fishing from the pier, tourists either strolling the pier or catching a tour, or people going/coming from their anchored boats. All are fascinating to watch. We had their fish and chips, see pic. Our 3 pieces were a bit on the small side. The breading was very light and crisp. They were served piping hot. The fish was okay: rather firm yet still somewhat flaky. The fries were standard fare. It's an interesting place for the environment and to get a bite to eat.

Had the fish and chips. The breaded fish had NO TASTE and the shoestring fresh fries likely were right out if the bag in the freezer. Enough other restaurants with fish and chips...find ANY one and it'll be better than this. At least I was able to eat in the shade and watch some boats.

Fish and chips aren't the best here, can find better some place else. The #1 thing I highly do recommend is the Clam Chowder simply the best don't skip on it. Fast service for a quick bite. Good views because it's on the pier.

Very busy place right on the pier in the middle of Avalon which is nice. We both got fish and chips, they were more like fish sticks than pieces, tartar was okay but lacking a little and fries weren't seasoned much at all. For two of us after tax it came out to around $20 a plate which is honestly way too much for what it was.

We came here two days in a row for afternoon snacks. It's really the best fish & chips in town! It's a fast casual place at green pier so the views are great. We have tried a bunch of items off the menu. Fish & chips, grilled swordfish & halibut, fried calamari, swordfish sandwich, chili cheese fries and chicken wings. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. They serve beer & wine, I really enjoyed the spicy michelada. The service was very friendly and they kept everything clean all the time. A great casual place for seafood and beers with great views at the pier!

Gross dirty tables and $9 mimosas for only half of a cup. Over not bad atmosphere but prices and service was okay.

Pretty sure I was served frozen shrimp and fish sticks, definitely not worth the price.

This pier restaurant was fantastic! Came Sunday in hopes of finding good food places of course like always we asked locals and searched for the best reviews but it seems you just have to take a leap and try some of these places out!!! If you want some good seafood for a more than reasonable price come here I had the fish and chips (cod ) it was super juicy and tasted fresh nice thick pieces of fish and my lady had the calamari sandwich which she said was alright and may try the platter of calamari next time we also shared some garlic cheese curds and they were so delicious perfect seasoning!! The lady who took our order was more than helpful and also shared that this was not only a fresh recipe but passed down all the way from her grandmother and it seems to me this is a well kept tradition. Customer Service immaculate what more could you ask for as far as ambiance as they are right on the end of the pier overlooking the ocean. Ps They also carry VEGAN options for those who are interested and it is most Recommended
