Food wasn't bad, but not necessarily any place i will go out of my way for. The best thing we had was the chowder.

I’ve lived in North Portland for 10 years and for some reason, I haven’t tried this place until this last week. What a mistake that has been!
This place is the real deal, no-frills, hole-in-the-wall seafood shop that lets quality ingredients speak for themselves.
I ordered the special of the day, and my partner ordered the shrimp pasta. We also split a crab cocktail and it was probably one of the best crab cocktails I’ve ever had - Exceptionally fresh! it was also great to see that the restaurant was bustling. We didn’t have to wait for a table, but it was clear that other people in the neighborhood are onto this little hidden gem. We will definitely be back!

I was blown away by this little neighborhood restaurant. The staff was friendly, attentive and worked as a team to seat, take orders, clear tables and bring the check. The food was quick and well-timed. The prices are the most reasonable I’ve seen in Portland for a very high quality.
The building and furniture are older but clearly cared for and inviting.
I cannot say enough about the food. I got the grilled steelhead. The seasoning was incredible, the fish was flaky and moist, and there was a perfect crust of flavor. The cod fish and chips were also amazing. You’d think something so common like that can only be a little different than the competition, but the fish/breading/flavor/temperature were perfection. The waffle fries were like Chik-fil-a at peak performance. I also had grilled green beans, and I dunno how they were prepared but they had such a beautiful, full flavor far past plain salted green beans.
I am so excited to have found this place!

Just had the most insanely DELICIOUS meal last night and felt compelled to leave a review! It was the pan fried petrale sole Special dish with shittaki mushroom rice and crispy brussels. I mean WOW!!! The first time we ate there I absolutely loved the Alaskan Cod fish and chips with coleslaw. For an unassuming exterior, the decor inside is cozy and transports you to the Oregon coast. The food is incredible and fresh. It seems this place is frequented by regulars and tourists alike. I am lucky that it's in my neighborhood but can't believe I lived here many years before trying it. Highly recommend this place for a family dinner or date night!!

Great place - very good food, cozy setting, very close to the UP campus. We stopped on Saturday evening when it was very busy so they took my number and suggested we pop over to the pizza place next door for a beer while we wait. It worked out perfectly. I'm sure we'll be back.
I live on the Oregon coast, fish, obsessively cook seafood, and enjoy lots of restaurants on the coast. The sturgeon with risotto meal I was able to have here at the end of a long day was truly special. I hadn't had wild sturgeon since I was a kid. While the sturgeon was perfect, the overall dish is what made the meal. It made me really happy.

The perfect mix of tasty food with a bit of Portland diner dive vibe. The blackened cod basket was great, the fish was cooked just right.

Their food is always delicious. Chowder is phenomenal. The scallops and shrimp fettuccine is my husband's favorite.
