I was amazed at how bad the fish and chips were at this place that specializes in seafood. Not only were the fish portions small, but they were overcooked and frankly, pretty tasteless. My son got the clam chowder. Clams? Pretty hard to find in this chowder. Having spent my life in the PNW and fished for a living in Alaska, I feel badly for tourists from out of state if this is their experience with local seafood during their visit here. You could probably do better in Kansas!

Seattle waterfront walk-up.
Second time I paid for but didn’t get my entire order.
First time I didn’t get my fish.
This time I didn’t get my two orders of coleslaw.

Loved dinner at the Salmon House with my wife and I, but another night we took our family back there to the fish bar for fish and chips and a casual outdoor dining experience. What a mistake (especially compared to other fish and chips places we visited) The fish and chips were very small pieces of cod and rather dry, the fried halibut were flat pieces of fish all dried out, and the red chowder was salty, few bits of clams and ...unenjoyable (i did have the white chowder at the Salmon house and it was amazing) They also messed up part of the order giving us 3 pieces of dried out halibut instead of 4 pieces of cod (we had waited too long and everyone else was eating to bother exchanging) On top of all that the price was very expensive...compared to other fish and chips places we visited in Seattle which were cheaper and had much bigger, juicier, pieces of fish and tons of fries. The salmon house on the other hand was terrific. See my other review on that. So pass on the fish bar.

Very disappointed in our order at the Marysville Ivar's. Used to love Ivar's but the fish pieces were 1/2 the size as they used to be and mostly breading rather than fish. We were both shocked as you used to be able to count on a consistent product. Waste of money on the 3 piece dinners

Visited this restaurant after watching a YouTube video on local Seattle restaurants. The food did not disappoint. Ended up having a bowl of clam chowder at the airport Ivar’s before leaving beautiful Seattle.

Don't expect anything special, but food was good. I also tried salmon fish n chips, and it was pretty dry, not sure if it's always like that.
I wasn't impressed at all from this place. It's unfortunate cause I would love to walk here, but the fish and chips were underwhelming. The portions were small for the price, but the taste did not make up for it.

Having lived in Australia, I've always had low expectations for fish & chips in North America. However, this place surprised me with its delicious clam chowder. While the bread that came with the clam chowder wasn't anything special, the chowder itself was so thick and creamy that I would definitely want to have it again when I'm in Seattle. Additionally, the staff here were very friendly and did a great job explaining the food, even for someone like me who was new to Seattle.
