Best fish and chips in the Pacific Northwest. Nice atmosphere, we sat in the bar side. Great service. The fried fish is huge and super crispy and tasty and the fries are excellent 👌.

I drove 2 hours each direction from Seattle, and it was worth the trip!
The prices are a bit high, but the amount of food and taste more than makes up for it.
My absolute favorite item was the prawn cocktail, it was a wonderful medley of flavors and textures, there were at least three full shrimp in the glass, along with the one peal and eat prawn on top.
My next favorite was the lobster roll, the pieces of lobster were great, if anything, the chefs might takes some of the inspiration behind the prawn cocktail and incorporate it into the lobster roll.
In third place is the fish tacos, the one modification I would suggest is to remove the shoestring fries. They are added on top like a garnish, but they make the whole taco too big to really eat without removing them or smushing everything together. As they are shoestring fries, the most notable thing about them is their crunchy texture, which is already provide by the cabbage in the taco. Nix the shoestring fries, or put them on the side and use the superior steak fries! Not least on my list is the fish itself. It's a huge piece of fish, very tasty. They could make the cup of tarter sauce bigger, 2 oz is too little for such a large piece of fish. I was very pleased to see that this fish is hand dipped to order!
There were two items I tried that I would not recommend, first was the chowder. There was just not much to it, it needed more potatoes, more salt, pepper, and maybe cayenne(?). The other item was a daily special they had on offer, tiramisu. My guess is that this was a new experiment for the kitchen, but it was a miss. The tiramisu had three layers of lady fingers and no real layers of mascarpone. The mascarpone was used more as a filler between all of the lady fingers than as one of the star ingredients. Stick to two layers of lady fingers and make sure there are two thick layers of mascarpone.
Also worth a mention is the very tasty mushy peas, bright and flavorful, no notes!
The next time I am anywhere near Bainbridge Island I will be stopping by Proper Fish for another visit!
The staff was helpful, the space as cozy (I hope this place finds a larger area that can incorporate both of the dining rooms and bar spaces into one cohesive venue.) If you like fish and chips, be sure to add this place to your list, and if you are a fan of British style fish and chips, put it at the top of the list!

I tried the British-style fish and chips on a busy weekend. It took about 10–15 minutes to place our order, though finding a table was easy. The food arrived in roughly 20 minutes. The fish itself was fresh but mild in flavor; paired with the crisp batter and sauce, it tasted very good and definitely fresh. The portion size was quite large—I couldn’t finish it, so it’s best shared. The fries were standard but freshly made. Overall, it’s a solid choice, though expect some waiting, and the ambience is simple.

Read about Proper Fish's fish and chips and placed a to-go order on the way to the ferry. It was the BEST fish and chips we've ever eaten in Washington State! Hands down mind bending. Would stop by any chance we get from now on. Do yourself a favor when you get the opportunity and go here.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing! Proper Fish never disappoints! The food is absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and always cooked perfectly. Every dish tastes like it was made with real care and top-quality ingredients. The portions are great, the staff is friendly, and the whole experience is just consistently excellent. If you haven’t tried Proper Fish yet, you’re missing out! Highly recommend!
Perfectly fried fish & oysters! As good, or maybe better than what I had in London 🇬🇧. Plenty to split if you’re not starving.

We were finally able to make it out there. When we heard London style, we jumped all our it. We've been to London, so we really wanted to try the fish and chips. There's more items on their menu. We mainly went to see what the fish and chips were all about. The staff was nice and the vibe was pretty chill. The bar and restaurant were separated, but we figured it was because they're not able to or not aloud to remove a wall or something. Regardless, its a nice spot! The fish and chips were ordered was really good. Pretty close to a London style. The only thing i would upgrade is the pea puree. The taste was off compared to what we tried. Other than that, we enjoyed it. Overall, we like this spot. We plan on coming back to the other items in the menu :)
