Tugboat is a hidden gem in El Paso located close by the Navy and Marines Reserve Center. The inside has a unique boat theme, mixed in with an Asian flare. There are posters of all kinds of seafood in the hall, and a nice indoor waterfall.
The menu boasts all kinds of great Fish & Chips items, AND additionally, sushi dishes! We went in for lunch - the fish & chips is one of the best I've had (in my top two). We ordered some gyoza as well. I was happy because there was very good coleslaw (top 5 in my experience), very good tartar sauce, Heinz malt vinegar, and soy sauce!
Looking forward to going back to try out the sushi menu!

This was my second visit to Tugboat Fish and Chips in El Paso and once again they delivered a five star experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with kindness and professionalism. You can tell they care about their guests.
My food was cooked perfectly and served with attention and care. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The service and quality made this visit even better than the first.
If you are in El Paso, I highly recommend Tugboat Fish and Chips. Thank you for a great experience. I will be back. ♥️🫶🏽

Love the fish and prawns!! Not greasy, great flavor. Usually order either the mushrooms or zucchini, sometimes both- great to take home and nibble. Fast service , usually go through drive through, inside restaurant, it's small but clean and staff friendly. Would definitely recommend!!

Great spot! Super fresh and nice atmosphere. They even threw in an extra piece of fish for me today! Will definitely return!
I always enjoy this hidden gem. Although, not really hidden. They are located on Dyer next to the Walmart.

Owner is such a great lady. Watched her help carry their orders to the car twice. Had a California roll and fish and chips. Exceptionally prepared and served.

Ok First off: friend zucchini was the best I have had in a while. Teriffic light coating; most folks will want to add some salt or vinegar. Tried the tempura veggie appetizer on another visit. Very good.
Fish was quite good. I could have done with a two piece order and been fine. Good sized pieces, cooked through and not dry around the edges. The members of our group who ordered chicken and shrimp both were satisfied with their selection as well. Cole slaw was the pineapple variety, a bit wet but tasty (that we did finish) Note: the fish was great warmed up in the oven. Two things to be aware of. 1. They share a parking area with a wireless provider, at least when we were there, parking was competitive... Only one ADA spot between the two business (if I remember correctly) 2. Food is cooked as it is ordered so, if you are looking for an L.J.S. fish experience, or are in a hurry, this may not be the right place for you.

We went around 7pm, we were the only customers to dine in at the time, but the environment was still warm and welcoming. Awesome decor! Food was very fresh and really good. We ordered the sampler seafood platter and catfish plate. We also ordered for delivery a few days later on Postmates. The menu items are $5 pricier on the app just keep that in mind, but it arrived and was still just as good as the dine in experience. Portion size for the price is great. Definitely recommend.
