Fish & Chips Restaurants near Oakland, CA

“Came here on a whim after some golf with a friend. One of the best gyros I have had in years! Really kind and attentive staff as well. I would not hesitate to go back if I am in the area again.
Seating is a little sparse and the layout is a little cramped, but absolutely delicious food and really friendly staff. I would absolutely recommend if you are looking for some great lunch.“

“I have to say this experience exceeded expectations from start to finish.

A dear friend insisted I try the pineapple coconut cakes, ordering four and telling me “you will see.” That level of confidence immediately raised my curiosity and it absolutely delivered.

From the moment I walked in, the staff set the tone. They were kind, informative, patient, and genuinely welcoming. That level of service matters, and they got it right.

I initially ordered four plates and appreciated the menu variety, especially seeing whole chicken wings offered. But the real moment came when I sampled the shrimp in my car. It was outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and memorable.

I turned right back around and ordered an additional plate with catfish and shrimp, and that sealed it for me. The shrimp are 🔥🔥🔥!

This is the kind of place that earns repeat visits. The food is bold, the service is warm, and the overall experience leaves a lasting impression. I will absolutely be back.“

“The fried chicken is crispy outside and juicy tender inside. The various chicken combos are good deals. There is a wait for orders because the food is not precooked and sitting under heat lamps. Parking can be difficult and the small parking lot fills up quickly. I will definitely be returning!“

“Got a regular Red Snapper with fries, I didn't have to ask for any condiments they had it all in the bag, Plus a Ground beef burrito because im greedy an I don't go there much, it seems like it has endless Snapper, fried an seasoned to perfection, its hard to get Snapper around, ate the burrito the next day, an it was still bussing, Whenever im in town it my first Stop fo sho, food came out in less than 15min.“

“We stopped in got some Fish & Chips (cat fish) and Onion rings and soda.As a very picky Aussie who loves good Fish & Chips most stores here in the US I’d score at a 6/10 but this little hole in the wall shop it’s easy an 8/10 the chips where good size the fish was average size for all the US stores I’ve tried but this little store the batter was crispy and the fish cooked perfectly the onion rings where good the Chips where very good but I feel a few extra minutes in the oil would have made them a perfect Crispy outer and hot and fluffy“

“There food is delicious. Called my order in 25 min early and It just took five min to wrap and give me enough sauce to eat it with. I had snapper and catfish combo it was Smackin. Great food does take time. I like to get my food in 10-15 min but at least it's fresh. The restaurant didn't have many people dining in, they were stopping in to order and coming back to pick it up though. There deserts were amazing looking and the workers at Jjs were really nice and called me sweetheart.“

“Great food new fried pickles“

“I always enjoy their food when I visit here!! Especially the signature tartar sauce, yummy!! If you like your fish fried hard like me request it that way when order is placed.

“Honest Review from someone who eats out every meal. I think this place is extremely clean and well operated. (Although they need to take a moment to wipe the tables where folks just finished eating in the lobby).

The food tastes fresh and is good. I had the fish sandwich today, chicken fingers, and hushpuppies. The sandwich was good, slightly fishy, but good. The chicken is breaded and fried there, so it is fresh, but could be be seasoned better. I also wish the fish was friend in this batter.

My only concern is the cost of the hushpuppies, which are a little over a dollar a piece, so you get five puppies for 6 bucks, I think this should be 8 for 6 dollars.“

“we had the fish and chips they were way more than we expected got the 3 fish next time will just get 2 because they were huge and great leftovers had delishous side salads as well as the slaw and garlic chips oh we will be back anxious to try other dishes too! we gout ours to go but they have excellent patio seating which I prefer“

“The food was delicious 😋 my first time eating there. I always pass it up but this time. I had to have it....“

“Chowder’s is a solid place to grab a quick seafood meal while exploring Pier 39. Given its location in one of the busiest and most touristy parts of San Francisco, the prices are actually pretty reasonable. You could easily spend a lot more at nearby restaurants without getting a noticeably better meal.

The food itself is pretty good, though I wouldn’t call it exceptional. The clam chowder is creamy, filling, and especially good served in the sourdough bread bowl. The bread soaks up the chowder nicely while still staying chewy around the edges. The seafood tastes fresh enough, portions are decent, and everything comes out fairly quickly.

This is definitely more of a casual tourist stop than a destination restaurant, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It works well when you’re walking around Fisherman’s Wharf and want something warm and satisfying without sitting down for a long meal or spending a fortune.

Overall, Chowder’s delivers what you’d expect: good seafood, reasonable portions, and surprisingly fair prices for Pier 39. It probably won’t be the most memorable meal you have in San Francisco, but it’s convenient, tasty, and worth stopping at if you’re already in the area.“

“great food.. great service...i cannot express how tasty the food was...definitely must try“

“came here on a Thursday, not crowded at all! food was pretty good (we got fish and chips), however, portions are not equal but price remains consistent. friends were given larger pieces of fish but we all payed the same amount of money. quick service! overall, not bad :)“
