Really chill corner for fish and chips. The location makes it feel like I’m in NYC. Great food as well

The salmon burger is not a fresh fillet of salmon, but a patty that is perfectly rounded like it’s premade or frozen. The bun isn’t toasted. So it’s like a Costco salmon burger, but for 15.99. The fried cod’s breading looks and tastes like it’s pre-breaded and not sure if the cod was fresh or frozen before being cooked. The customer service was unfortunately my least favorite part of this experience. The cashier was nice and polite but the cook had an attitude—he gave my mom her food in an open container with a container on the top of it to “close” it but the food was hanging out; I asked for container that closes, like the one my salmon burger came in and he said why and that they don’t usually give those out. I’m like so she can have a container for her food that isn’t open. My mom ended up saying forget it because of his attitude. Won’t be going back.

Had clams and catfish, flavor was great on both depending on your preference the catfish was a bit soft so ask for it harder if you like it that way. The tartar sauce is more of a remoulade and it is the best

Delicious fish and chips! The batter was a little bit spicy, and so was the tartar sauce and seasoning on the fries. The tartar sauce paired just as well with the fries as it did with the fish. Overall this is a 10/10. The 3-piece cod fish and chips were freshly cooked and sizzling hot. The staff was friendly and nice. Cheap prices, great food, close to the Space Needle, and a must-stop for anyone visiting Seattle.
It’s a small joint with limited parking on a busy street at an intersection, so be prepared for that. Limited seating inside, not a fancy place, but it sure gets the job done. The cole slaw was not sweet, but it still had a good flavor.

I heard this cafe was a fantastic location to get fried fish, so I stopped in one Saturday night while on Rainier to check it out. Well, I can definitely attest to that! Fried salmon, cod, halibut, catfish, crab pups, clam strips, and calamari rings were all in the Sampler Platter that we received. There was a ton of food, all the seafood was cooked to perfection, and the calamari rings were the finest fried squid I've ever had! Additionally, we had a crab puppy dish, which we highly suggest. Yes, please, fried crab with peppers! If you're ever in the mood for a seafood restaurant in the Rainier Valley, this location is highly recommended because it serves a lot of food at affordable costs.
Visiting Seattle from Southern California, so im a huge fan of fish and chips. This place......WOOOOOOOOO.... freaking good. Food was nice and hot. I got me the COD and Salmon and man did I destroy it. Sauce is great as well. The only problem i had was I didn't try everything else. I should've ordered the sampler next time I will when I visit seattle again. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING HERE!!

A bit on the salty side. But who am I to talk, I prefer to eat unsalted McDonald fries.
Other than that, I got nothing else to nitpick about.
Good bang for the buck, where else in town you’re gonna get a 2 pcs fish and chips for $10? Fast food places literally cost more than here.
Their sampler platter ($~28 after tax) was a lot of food for one person. I finished it myself. But I was pretty full. You can easily split it with your date or your sibling. And both of y’all will still be full, come with 2 coleslaws too, everyone gets one. Or just make 2 meals out of one, eat half it it now, take the other half for air fryer when you get the late night munchies.
Fish and chips plus a beer, all under $20. Definitely recommend.

Stopped in one Saturday evening while on Rainier to check this place out, heard it was a great spot for fried seafood. Well..I can certainly confirm that! We got the Sampler Platter, which included fried salmon, cod, halibut, catfish, crab puppies, clam strips AND calamari rings. Lots of food, all the fish was fried perfectly and I absolutely loved the calamari rings, the best fried squid I've ever tasted! We also ordered a crab puppies meal, which we overwhelmingly recommend. Fried crab with peppers...yes please! This place serves ALOT of food for reasonable prices, highly recommended if you're ever in the mood for a seafood restaurant in the Rainier Valley.

This is by far the best seafood restaurant in the PNW! Walking in the door you are greeted by the outstanding staff who treat you like you've just come home to a family dinner! If you thought the welcoming enviroment was something special then you are in for a real treat when you sit down to the best fish & chips seattle has to offer! The catfish was flaky and perfectly breaded. The crab cakes were amazing and the clams...cooked to perfection. The crown jewel is definitely the seafood gumbo! Their menu is reasonably priced and you definitely won't leave hungry!
This is a Seattle hidden gem i highly recommend trying this restaurant. It will be one of your new favorites I'll be returning and I am sure you will too!

The halibut basket is my preferred option, but I havent been disappointed with anything ordered do far. The calamari was also an excellent choice for me. Few seating options but hasn't been an issue for me on my visits.
