This is a small shop opened in 1969 by a family. Still owned & operated by the same folks. The Alaskan Cod is the BEST I've had in the USA. The service was great. All meals served in baskets, and your utensils & condiments are self serve, but that's what makes it great. No frills, but it doesn't matter. The... more

The fish and chips are delicious. The tartar sauce is yummy. This restaurant is a little hole in the wall - NOT FANCY- wear your bathing suit. Hundreds of fish pictures for decorations, and a wonderful outside dining area. You see the harbor, the boats, and the seagulls, who will steal your food if you are not careful. more

It's been five years since I've been in Oceanside, but I'm happy to see that the menu and the food quality has not changed. My favorite, the 5 piece shrimp basket, is still a mainstay, and still excellent. The place ain't pretty, but they make their own batter, and the deep fried shrimp or fish is great. more

Great fish-n-chips but expensive for what you get. Other than summertime, they close much earlier than most restaurants (that serbe dinner). more

Wow, we read the reviews and thought this would be great, but... the place is really not very clean, the fish was huge as another reviewer noted, but the hugeness was all greasy batter with very little fish inside. The slaw was edible, barely (on the soggy side) and the fries were pretty greasy. The oil tasted like they had... more

The fish and chips here are huge. The batter they use is very tasty and the cod is Alaskan cod, which is very juicy and not fishy. They batter-to-fish ratio is perfect, where you actually get tons of fish, and not all batter. They also have shrimp and chips and I swear the shrimp were nearly the size of little... more

I love the atmospere at this wonderful little gem in Oceanside Harbor, I think we just ordered the wrong thing. We got the grilled fish of the day plate and the crabcake plate with fries and side salads. The service was pleasant and excellent and happily substituted salad for slaw. Our drinks, salads, and chowder were all served while we... more
