Great service. Great Food. Great Ambiance. Regardless if you're in the area or not you need to stop on by and give them a try. You will not be sorry, definitely will be back.

Takeout only, but fish-n-chips offerings are varied and delicious. Our fav local place for fish-n-chips. Small parking lot available for pickup.

This place may not be in a busy area, but thanks to WORTH IT. one of the best YouTube shows ever, I made it to the emerald City thanks to Steven, Adam, and Andrew from the show recommending to the viewers to come. The show recommended to get the salmon chowder and salmon and chips. They were not wrong. Some of the best food eaten. Owner Steve knows what he's doing!

I saw all of the great reviews, and I saw that it was all gluten free (amazing!) and I was so excited to try it. We tried both the halibut and cod. Much to my disappointment, the halibut was VERY dense and not very enjoyable to eat. I thought the cod was pretty good. The pieces weren't very large so we underestimated how much food we were going to need for our group. I'm not sure I will be back but again, I'm very thankful that this place offers gluten free fish and chips - you don't find that in too many places.

Really friendly staff and great service. But the fish was wet and tasted reheated, and portions small.

Great fish and chips, friendly staff, but get it to take out since the only tables are outside and it's noisy there on Rainier.

I went here based on the reviews of the food and the vibe of the owner/staff and those reviews did not disappoint.The food was incredible, I tried a bit of the Shrimp PO'Boy, Cod Fish and Chips, and the Crab Cakes. I highly recommend the crab cakes.The staff was equally incredible, just seemed like they were super nice people with a community that really enjoyed their food and sharing that with them.

Good fried fish place. I had the sampler platter ($25), which let me try almost everything. The Alaska cod was great, the haddock a bit chewy, the catfish not really to my taste, and the salmon... well, it was dry... probably not the best way to cook salmon.The shrimp were great, the crab cakes mostly dough, and the clam strips tiny and of course with no belly (the way we like them in New England), tasting more like fried dough (which I do like!).The French fries were lightly seasoned. The tartar sauce was different from what I'm used to, but good. I'm not a fan of cole slaw, so no comment.There are a few counter seats inside, but it was a beautiful day, so I sat outside at one of the picnic tables overlooking the busy street.I'll come back for the Alaskan cod and the shrimp!

Love the food here. Some of the best fishn chips I have had. The French fries are awesome as well. Everything was cooked fresh. Their oyster poor buy was tasty and all the portions were great. The service was prompt and pleasant. I highly recommend if you love fish chips.

I'm straight up giving them 4 stars but not for the fish, for the fries. They are some of the best fries I've had anywhere. I tried the cod, and it was a bit dry. The breading is more of a dredge, Louisiana style. I may try shrimp next time, they also have halibut, but it's $5 more.

Came with my husband back in august 2023 to meet an old friend and I was craving prawns ALL the time when I was pregnant. I'm from East LA so I expect GOOD fish n chips. I was NOT disappointed. Guy ran the place all by himself, handled business, and was super sweet. I ended up going back and getting a second meal to take to work for my lunch, and ended up eating in one go that night. Bonus: the batter is actually GF for anyone looking for some secretly GF fry. Husband called in and guy confirmed it was just cornmeal. Just a forewarning though, seating is very limited. I mean like 3 tables outside and a small bar inside.
