Tugboat Fish & Chips

1 piece of fish is a side of fish like half of 1 whole fish. Very tasty. Great service. Good prices.

It was horrible, they messed up my order 3 times over the phone. Upon arrival they still had order wrong. Never explained the amount of pieces of fish I ordered was not on the menu. I was 55 dollars for 4 pieces of fish and 6 oysters. Plus 3% charge for paying with a card. If the food wasn't for my sick mother's craving I would've walked away. Later mother complained the fish was fried hard which made the meat dry the fries were just as bad. Elderly Asian couple who spoke horribly broken English. I would Definitely not recommend for fish and chips there

Ordered via phone call. Arrived and waited a few minutes. Lady was busy! But when my food came out, it had all the sauces and condiments. Food was hot and fresh but I had to drive home. 30 mins later I heated up the food a in the air fryer and my god was it great. I ordered the calamari, family meal(which is a lot of food!) and the special of the day. Overall 5/5 I can’t wait to go in and eat instead of doing take out.

Wasn't going to leave a review but after several bad experiences I noticed they were still open the other evening and they are close to home..

Apparently the young man working with his air pods in decided to close early and just as I was opening the door he decided to close early

Now it'd be one thing for a small shop to simply ask that a patron comes back another day and they need to close up early tonight, but another for the door to be locked early on them.

I give up on this place unfortunately since it is a short walk from home, ill continue going to fisherman's warfare up the road

WOW!!! Fresh fish, light, airy, CRISPY batter and surprisingly…not oily. This place is very good. We ordered online online and went to pick it up. Food was ready in about 20 minutes, came out piping hot and delicious. This is a MUST EAT place when you’re I the mood for fresh fried seafood. Really reminds me of the fish and chip shops in London….or the fried seafood shops along the boardwalk at Coney Island.

I hadn’t heard of Tugboat until just this week reading an online story about the restaurant. It’s downright difficult to find a Fish & Chips eatery in the area. Living 25 minutes from their Pleasant Hill location is an issue but I decided to give it a go. I’ll definitely be back. The menu is extensive including the likes of prawns, catfish, oysters, calamari, even lumpia. I came for the fish and stayed for the tempura style prawns combo special. At $15.99 you’ll get a generous piece of fish, four prawns and a basket of fries. I read in an earlier review the fish wasn’t cod, and I really don’t know if it was but it was tasty with a golden brown deep fried crust. The tempura prawns were meaty and prepared perfectly. While you order at the counter, the food was delivered to my table along with tartar and cocktail sauce, and ketchup. The necessary malt vinegar was already at the table. The fork was plastic but I didn’t use one. It’s a casual place and I dined alone—finger food fish n fries if you will. The restaurant is bright, airy and sunny with a very definite nautical theme from the wallpaper to paintings and accessories/ornaments. There was no trash disposal in sight to enable an easy self bussing of the table, the soda machine was out of order (what no free refills😳) but their cold box of soda, teas etc. was ice cold so all good. The location is in a small retail center (Ellingwood) two doors down from an Outback Steakhouse so there’s plenty of parking. I’ve read where some think it’s pricey, but fish is expensive so I was satisfied with my bill. As mentioned previously, I’ll definitely be back, and if you like fish and chips, I’d highly recommend giving it a try.

After living near this place for 9yrs, I placed my order 15min before closing. I had the fish with zucchini and shrimp. I was truly pleased with everything. It was cooked perfectly and had a very clean taste and not oily. I will defineitly order from this establishment again.

Stopped in this evening for something to eat and found this little spot tucked away in a corner of a quaint buissness center. Ended up ordering the 3 pc. Fish n chips and a side of clam strips. I walked away full and a very happy guy. I’ll definitely be back at some point and try other menu items. Don’t take my word for anything, go check it out for yourself.
