Had a pound of halibut for dinner with the family tonight. It was so fresh and delicious! Everyone loved it!
Great food! Great customer service. Blue catfish was crunchy and fresh.
The perfect spot for fish and chips. Got the dogfish variety and it hit. Crispy, hot, and tasty (with the tartar sauce). The fries were solid. The vinegar slaw was all right, would've preferred regular coleslaw maybe. Food came out within 20 mins. The people working were nice.

This spot and aboveground make the best fish and chips in the immediate...read full review

The District Fishwife offers a variety of seafood options, from salmon cheesesteak to salmon burger. The fries are a standout with the perfect combo of crispy and soft, and the shrimp basket with thick, curly fries is especially popular. The salmon burger is juicy with generous portions, making it a great value. The top tier fish and chips feature high-quality fish and a thin, crisp beer batter, considered one of the best in DC, though it can be pricey and charges extra for tartar sauce. Customers also enjoy the sushi and shrimp banh mi, finding them very tasty. The scallop basket is delicious, with juicy, tender scallops and crispy fries, complemented by good coleslaw that adds lightness to the meal. The swordfish parm sandwich is another well-liked choice, with good-sized portions. Despite some disappointments with greasy fish and chips and inedible pickled cabbage in the past, friendly service and diverse pescatarian options make it a place worth revisiting. The rooftop seating offers a decent view, and the team is quick to assist, even opening extra registers during busy times. Overall, the experience is pleasant with a variety of seafood favorites to enjoy.
