I got it via Delivery because of so many great reviews. However, the fish is all about the cover for the fish n this tasted like dish water n was very overpriced. I had to throw out my whole meal. Now I am hungry without my meal. (Not even my cats would eat it)

What an amazing food experience. They try to order so don’t come here if you are in a hurry. Call ahead if you need to. Food is so tasty. Portions are out of this world. Staff is SO kind. Owner is an absolute gem. They do not make owners like him anymore. Always bring out of town guests here for dinner or order to go. Nothing brings me more joy than walking in the house with that happy brown box full of tasty goodness.

This has the best Fish and Chips I have ever tasted! Sam the owner is such a great guy with his friendly demeanor and a smile for everyone! He uses cod fish and fries it to perfection! Thanks Sam, we will be back soon and often!

Food was greasy and fries were limp. Guy at register was rude. He refused to give me a cup of water and insisted I buy some instead. I posted this review before and it disappeared. Can a shop do this? BTW restaurants are supposed to provide water by law. Needless to say, I won't be back.

I don't know why I don't eat here more often! They used to be next door to Vons when I was a kid & we went once or twice. When Vons expanded twenty something years ago they moved across the parking lot a bit. They have batter dipped fried foods that are always fresh, crisp & delicious. One of the few places to offer fried Oysters, my favorite. Even Anthony's doesn't have fried Oysters anymore. I had been thinking of them for a while & happened to be dropping off something at the UPS store. So I walked over and ordered one fish & chip (so many fries!), the fish is a large decent size portion. Enough for one. Enough fries to share. I also got 8 fried Oysters, so good! Couldn't resist an order of fried Zucchini as well. (If memory serves, they have yummy hushpuppies too.) Of course it was too much food, didn't finish the fries or Zucchini but will be back for more. The gentleman taking my order was very nice & ket me know my order was almost ready. Takes about 15 minutes. He gave me tarter sauce, cocktail sauce, ranch & malt vinegar. I really wanted to redue the inside, kind of cluttered with supplies and such. Super nice people, love supporting local & you can't be more local than Mr. Fish & Chips!

Love Mr. Fish have the best fish chips I've ever ever had! A lot more expensive than they used to be, but doesn't change the fact!

Fish and Zucchini, Fried Fish,Fried Shrimp, Fish ComboSam and his family always offers up quality fish and chips that are the best in san diego. They are closed on Mondays so get your fish fix on Tuesday. It's worth the wait.

First off, the interior of this restaurant looks like it's still stuck in the COVID era. When you walk in, it looks more like a warehouse than a place to eat. The fish tastes very fresh but the batter is plain and flavorless. I got a side but the portions are so small and not worth the price. I would come again but only to order the fish.

Probably the best fish and chips I've had before the fish and shrimp were nice and golden crispy ! Will definitely be returning when I'm in the area . The man working the front was very helpful and nice I'm guess maybe the owner over great place to eat

Never even got a chance to order. Rang the bell on the counter for service and waited about 7 minutes and no one came to the front to take my order. The front counter was also a bit cluttered with random stuff that would not pertain to the restaurant so I’d say the clutter is also in the owner/managers mind. No organization.

Yummy fish and chips with crunchy batter cooked to perfection.It's in a strip mall, so it's all about the food, not atmosphere. So it's good...

Went here for lunch. Place was clean and ordering was a breeze. Got the two fish and chips combo. Fish was golden and crispy. Fish was cooked well and tender. The fries were very crispy which I like. The batter can use a touch of salt but overall a gold experience.
