The best place for fish and chips nearby. Fair prices for generous portions. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I have found my go to place for the best fish & chips.
I’ve been eating here for 20 years and I swear they just keep getting better!!! The fries are so good since they upgraded them!
The customer service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and thorough from start to finish. The food was fresh, and the batter tasted great. Even though everything was deep-fried, it wasn’t oily or greasy at all. The popcorn shrimp, fish and chips, and hush puppies were all delicious! We’re excited to come back and try some of the other items on the menu.

Tugboat Fish & Chips, a small chain in the Sacramento area, is known for its delicious fish and chips. The fish is hot, crispy, and not overly greasy. The restaurant offers large portions and makes its fried vegetables and tartar sauce from scratch. Prices have increased slightly since its early days, with a 3-piece fish and chips order now costing around $15. Vegetarian options are also available and highly regarded. Many customers appreciate the restaurant's consistency in food quality and value for money, with some having visited since 1999. It appears to be a family-owned operation with super friendly owners and no-nonsense service. Customers can choose to dine in or take their meals to go, with easy parking and wheelchair accessibility. Despite being in a not-so-good area, the place is kept clean, and the staff are very customer-focused. The fish is always perfectly cooked, and the staff are generous with condiments. The team’s dedication and hustle make for a pleasant experience, with many finding the atmosphere charming and welcoming. Customers have enjoyed sitting outside and appreciate the freshness of the food. The kindness of the staff, including extra portions at times, adds to the overall positive experience, making many eager to return.
