Interesting twist on fish and chips. Tasty. A little dry, but that's to be expected. Great sauce and fries as well. Fun little boat and staff.

Again, everyone we met during our four day visit to Astoria asked if we had eaten at the Bowpicker...they have the best fish and chips in the state? How does one tactfully answer that we do not eat fried food? However, everyone kept asking the same question as we dined or visited the local attractions, so, say I, let's break... More

When we travel up the coast we always try to make sure we're in Astori at a time when we can hit the Bowpicker. Very simple but the best Fish and Chips anywhere. So good we stood in line for about 10 minutes in the drizzling rain just so we could get our cravings fulfilled.

Ate there while on vacation camping on the Oregon coast. They use tuna and it was so good we went back the next day. Fish and chips are not greasy at all. Batter is light and crispy. Very good value. We set up our camp chairs on the lawn and enjoyed the view. On day two a bluegrass band did... More

We made a point of eating fish and chips all during our cruise from Los Angeles via Vancouver to Alaska. This is, hands down, the very best. The fish is divine, and the chips are just as exceptional. Be ready to wait in line; we got there 10 minutes after they opened and ended up waiting 45 minutes to get... More

Searched TripAdvisor for a great pit stop in Astoria, OR. This was at the top of the list and for good reason. The Bowpicker is just fish and chips - you just specifiy quantity. But the fish, albacore tuna to be exact, makes all the difference. There are no utensils (unless you plan ahead, be ready to eat with your... More

Thanks to TA's great reviews, my wife and I decided to try Bowpicker for lunch this past weekend (Sat. May 25). Housed in a small 'bowpicker' boat (a 28-foot-long former fishing vessel, used for decades in the area), we'd noticed it before on trips out of Astoria, heading back toward our home in Portland, but never had stopped for a...

Best fish and chips I have ever had, even my husband liked it, and he hates most fish! Later found out that we had Tuna for the fish. They only take cash and have very specific hours.
