Way to expensive for what you get. Next time, the Lighthouse in Redding for Fish n Chips. Get more fish and less expensive. I like to try new places to eat so this was my first and last.

Overall, good experience. The food was okay, but nothing amazing. Several items tasted reheated or even from frozen. That's understandable as the prices were pretty fair. The scallops were breaded and deep fried which I didn't expect but I'm not complaining because they were really good. The oil in the fryer probably needed changing but it was acceptable. The crab cakes were interesting with a crumb breading and deep fried instead of baked but still tasted good. The chowder was the only thing I didn't take any home because it really did taste about like canned chowder, so not bad but just not special. The clam strips were great, way more tender than the stuff I can usually get at the store and nice browning. Mom liked the calamari strips but wished they were served with honey mustard. The bread was tough though, so I revitalized out at home with a wet paper towel in the microwave, all fixed! The melted butter was insanely garlicky and the herbs were perfect just overwhelming for what we had. Still, gonna use the leftover on steak and it's going to be amazing.
The staff was polite and attentive, with no complaints about the service.
I honestly regret not getting the special, clams in white sauce. I bet that would have been the best thing.
Definitely worth trying the place out but unfortunately I can't quite rave even though I enjoyed it.

Visited to get some good ol' British fish and chips. Left with a fish and baked potato.

Still very good, but I was hoping for a less healthy form of potato when I explicitly asked for fish and chips :)

I love the pelicans roost, it is one if my absolute favorite restaurants to eat at, the chowder is always great and has just the right amount of clams and vegetables. I remember the ild building in Paradise and my family and I would eat there often and even had a family dinner there once with all the grandparents. I will always remember the great decorations and nice employees.

Quiet , relaxing, attentive servers , expert chefs, amazing variety even for non fish customers . Friday is typically busiest but waits and arrival of foods is fast to reasonable . Staff are consistent workers taking care of customers with out personal distractions.

First time here, and it did not disappoint! Definitely the best seafood you can find in Chico, and the staff is very welcoming. Absolutely amazing atmosphere feels very mom n pop/ 2000’s.We ordered the popcorn shrimp, alaskan cod and clam chowder, highly recommend trying all three. Batter is super crisp and nice and flaky inside on the cod. Not to mention their sourdough and butter is delicious. We will definitely be back !

Great Clam Chowder

If you love fish and chips this is the place to go. The staff is friendly, restaurant very clean. And the fish and chips? Done perfectly; piping hot, lightly battered flaky fish, portions so generous most times I can only eat one piece. Fries are enough for two, we get one meal and add extra fish, coleslaw is crunchy and cold, clam chowder hot and creamy. If you want to do a Chipper, this is the best place to go in Chico. Bon appetite.
