We got the 3 piece fish (pollock) which comes with fries. Plus side order of oysters and 2 cole slaws. Catfish and cod priced higher. We mixed and matched the malt vinegar, home made tartar, cocktail sauce and ketchup rotating between each bite. Plenty good chunks of fish versus the crunchy shell. I'll pass on the oysters next time because it was more crunch than meat. The very powerful kitchen vent prevented cooking smells from reaching the tables. It was more food than we needed. Would definitely go back in a few months. Can't eat this stuff too often, but it's darn good. read more

4.3 / 5 Came in on a late Saturday afternoon. Not too busy. Ordered the 2 pc fish and chips to go. I requested extra tartar sauce for my fries. When I got home I was surprised to see the ample size of fish and 2 pcs of veg tempura. Overall pleased as the fish was still moist. read more

We came to Big Fish because we were craving some fish and chips. We ordered the 3pc fish and chips and the fried zucchini. The food was great! Breading was very thin and crispy. The fish was a BIG portion and it was very moist. The fries are equally important as the fish and they were done to perfection. The restaurant was very clean with a great drink selection and casual ambiance. The service was amazing as well. They even went to Trader Joe's to get some extra lemons for us. Amazing!! We would definitely come back again. We think kimchi would go really well with this! read more

A lovely small eatery for fish and chips! Classic b&w checkered flooring with good seating and cafe tables. I shared breaded Alaskan Pollock with a couple pieces of fried zucchini and onion. These were large fish pieces! The chips or fresh French fries were well sized and delicious. Everything is fried fresh and well done. Ketchup and tartar sauce bottles are on the side as dips or toppings, as well as vinegar at the table. This was a fun dine in experience for a nice quick bite. Perhaps food can also be taken out at Portal Park nearby. read more

Big Fish - Fish and prawns (half eaten) Onions rings and a zucchini - Fish & Chips Near Me - Sacramento, California

Big Fish on Folsom Blvd is one of those spots that quietly overdelivers. First of all -- the ranch dressing deserves its own paragraph. I don't know what they're putting in it, but it's hands down some of the best ranch I've had at a restaurant. Creamy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and somehow good on everything. I was dipping fries, hush puppies, broccoli...basically anything I could justify. The fried food is where they really shine. Everything has that ultra-crispy, golden crunch on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. You can taste the Asian-inspired flavors in the seasoning and sauces -- bold, savory, slightly sweet, and seriously addictive. It's comfort food but elevated with really well-balanced flavors. The customer service was top tier. The staff was genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming. Not rushed, not distracted -- just good, solid hospitality. Made me feel like I was being cooked for at someone's house. You can tell they care about the experience as much as the food. Great flavors, amazing ranch, and awesome service. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

Seen there was new owners again. I came here when it was rhetorical OG Cape Cod. Cape cod was king!! Then it became PJ's fish and chips but PJ's sucked more than BJ's IYKYK. Big fish was good but there was a few things I didnt like. The fish was good it was well battered, the flavor was there but.... The fish was a cheaper quality. Alaskan pollack instead of Cod. The pieces of fish were small af. They gave me a big onion ring and some zucchini slices with my order. The fries looked a lil too brown, maybe they were double fried. We had to go ask for forks we had to go ask for lemons. The lemons were nasty they were in a container that looked like it was on the fridge for the past week. They were slimy yet dry if that makes sense. The customer service was alright, the guy taking the order spoke very little English so it was hard for him to understand my questions and my order. The vibe in there was chill, it wasnt to bright, when we first got there it was dead but I guess we brought business cuz it got busy quick. Besides the Alaskan Pollack fish they also had catfish as an option. The calamari that I ordered was also good but they cut em in a different way that i'd never seen they were like little scoops. I'd be back to try it again, it's no Cape COD thats for sure. If u never had cape cod then ur good cuz u wont be comparing them to each other. Bring ur own lemon, if they can get fresher ones then they should step their game up. The fish quality too step that up cuz Alaskan Pollack always feel chewy. read more

Craving fish and chips, my husband picked up our take out order on his way home from work one night. They are in the same location as two previous fish and chips, but with a new name and under new management. My husband said that the staff were very friendly and engaging while he waited for our pick up order. We each ordered a three piece of fish which came with chips, and they also threw in a few pieces of deep-fried veggies, such as zucchini and onion rings. We also ordered some hush puppies and some deep fried mushrooms. It was a ton of food! The pieces of fish were large and well battered, as were the veggies and mushrooms. The hush puppies had good seasoning, but we're a little on the small side. The urge for fish and chips does not strike me very often but when it does, it's good to know that there is a reliable option nearby. read more

Big Fish has a wide variety of food such as kimchi, to plates with crispy fish and teriyaki. There's definitely something for everyone and you do not need to just get the fish although I highly recommend it because it's fantastic! The service is fast and easy. The restaurant is clean inside with plenty of seating at the counter or the tables. Placing an order is easy with the kind customer service and you get your order in a reasonable amount of time. I plan to come back again to try more things on the menu. I highly suggest you check this place out! read more

Located between Goodwill and Round Table in East Sacramento on Folsom Blvd is Big Fish. Formerly PJ's Fish & Chips Diner. New owner. New name. New look. Drinks are self-serve after purchasing. Decor is casual, modern and updated. I ordered the 2-piece Combo and extra Zucchinis. The fish is fresh and melted in my mouth. Onion Rings were delicious and the Zucchinis were a must have for me to go with my fish and chips. Condiments are available upon request: Malt Vinegar, Ketchup, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail and Ranch The portions were generous and I couldn't finish everything. I can't wait to return to try the other items on the menu! Highly recommend Big Fish if you're craving for some amazing fish and chips! read more

Delicious as always. Just saw that they recently added some new items to the menu! Ordered a Chicken Teriyaki, Fish n Chips, Onion Rings, and calamari. The chicken was moist and flavorful!! It also came with rice and a salad that was quite delicious. Fish n chips were as good as always. Onion rings and calamari appetizer were a big hit with our group as well! The staff were friendly and attentive as always making sure our food was to our tastes and that we had plenty of condiments to go along with our food. I really like their tartar sauce and the malt vinegar goes well with the fish. They recently added some beer choices so I really enjoyed an ice cold coors to go with my food! Can't wait to go back again! read more

I've been coming here for years. This is the third or fourth owner. First owner were Asian and besides fish and chips they had a line of Japanese cuisine. They had it for years it was excellent. Last three owners only a few years then sell. Current owners cleaned up the place remodeled but chairs are rock hard can't sit long without pain. Pricer than previous owners and smaller pieces of fish. The gave an onion ring and zucchini slice but the tempera batter is heavy. I could go without that for fatter pieces of fish. Quality isn't there. However it's cleaner inside than previous owner. If you want fish and chips go to Oceans in Arden area. Prices are better and fish is bigger. read more

4 with a caveat. The place is clean. The service is lovely. The food is serviceable - but - not a go back for us. Perhaps my bar is high. I grew up on New Hampshire seacoast fried cod or haddock. This fish was tasteless. The batter overwhelmed the fish and was mushy on the underside, indicating it's not fully cooked. The white sauce in a squeeze container is definitely NOT tartar sauce by any side by side comparison. Fries are decent. On the plus side, a generous slice of deep fried zucchini plus a single onion ring is nice. In the "no" column is a teensy container of coleslaw for $2. They are trying, and I don't want to tank their score, hence 4 stars. Personal preference is no return. To each their own. read more

I was hoping for a better group of offerings. We tried the fish and oysters, onion rings, and lumpia. Everything was okay, but some items were so-so. The lumpia was cooked just right, but were bite size. The onion rings were also good. The fish and oysters failed my test. The oysters were horrible tasting and the fish was very thin. Both were handled beautifully by the cook, but the fish was thin and the oysters were not good. They apparently make a lot of their own sauces - they match up with the meal. I will be back, but being more selective in what I order. read more

I was finished for work on a Friday and had to taste for some fish. I found this place not too far from the downtown Sacramento area that was under new management. Big fish has a great assortment of fried fish with homemade sauces. I ended up ordering the fried fish with oysters. The weight didn't take too long and I decided to have my meal in the restaurant . Patricia arrived with homemade tartar sauce and homemade cocktail sauce. There was also malt vinegar on the table. The plate came with nice leaf-sized oysters a lemon along with fried onion rings. I really appreciate that the batter was very light and crispy. The fish was very fresh and flaky. I could appreciate that it was fried in New oil. The restaurant didn't have the AC on however there was a cooler blowing which kept the temperature nice. Overall I definitely would come back to try some of the other things on the menu. read more

Good service. Fish and chips are excellent. Dining area is quiet and clean. It's the same place as before but updated.

I was dropping off a donation at the Goodwill on Folsom and I was parked right in front of Big Fish. I saw the "under new ownership" sign and realized it was after lunchtime, so I thought I would give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! I got fish and chips, a side of cole slaw and a Coke Zero, The food was delicious (nicely crispy fish, fries and bonus onion rings!), the service was friendly and the restaurant was spotless. I will definitely be back! read more

Great fish and chips! I loved Cape Cod when it was in this location, but the fish and chips today were better than anything I have had come out of this building! I rarely have fish and chips because it is usually so greasy, these were not. Very friendly customer service as well. Glad to have Big Fish in the neighborhood! read more

Great staff, Nathan is awesome. The fish is not overbred and tastes great. You can tell they take pride in their process.

My buddy and I wanted to grab a cold beer after a scorching day golfing in Sacramento so we decided to drop in. The place appears to have new ownership now and the renovations they've done has completely transformed the vibe and especially the food. The fried fish was so light, flakey, and crispy--can't go wrong. My buddy crushed the onion rings and I devoured the fried zucchini, so we each ordered additional sides of both--and potentially another beer or two (look, who's to say, it was a good day on the golf course). The staff was inviting and friendly and it looked like it was getting packed even at the end of the day. I'm reading the other reviews now so will definitely be returning to try the other menu items--and beers. read more

Random drop in, but I'll be going every time I'm in the area now. Pricy for fried food but really good.

This fish and chips place is absolutely outstanding--from the first bite to the last crispy crumb. The fish is perfectly golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and the chips are everything they should be: hot, crunchy, and generously portioned. You can taste the care and quality in every bite. This spot truly proves that you don't need a fancy setting to deliver exceptional food. It's a big fish in a small pond--and honestly, the pond is lucky to have it. I'll definitely be back, because once you've had fish and chips this good, nothing else quite compares. read more

So I just moved to East Sacramento from Citrus Heights and was craving Fish and Chips and stumbled across this spot on my weekly grocery run to Trader Joe's. I Walked in and I was greeted by a familiar face: Turns out the Son of the owners of my favorite Fish and Chips spot off of Hazel took over this East Sacramento location! The Fish and Shrimp were fried to perfection (just the right amount of batter) and the all the sauces were spectacular. My go-to is the Tartar, but you can't go wrong because all the sauces are made in house. Staff was friendly and provided exceptional service. So glad to have a new grab and go spot in the area and I don't have to make the drive to get my Fish N chips fix! read more

Great meal, fantastic fish. Small place but big fish . Great zucchini and fries!!! $ reasonable price.

Was in the mood for some fish and chips and took to the yelp app to let us know our choices, and out pops this gem. Newer family owned business in the area, their fish was cooked perfectly, with a nice light batter. I ordered the two fish plate with fries. Having a piece of zucchini and onion ring was a nice touch. Staff was friendly and was very warm. The place was very clean and well kept. We will definitely be back. Food was so good, I ate all of it before I remembered to take a picture. read more

I understand they're under new ownership and I went there before that change. But the fish was exquisite it was beautifully fried the gentleman behind the counter was exceptionally kind even though the place had a little bit of a rush and he was the only one working.

If you are thinking of trying out Big Fish & Chips, bring a big appetite. Each of the four os us enjoyed the two-piece fish and chips. The fish was perfectly coated and tender inside. Plus, the pieces were huge. The "chips" were nicely fried. A side of coleslaw had a unique taste; two of us loved it and two didn't. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The interior is small, plainly decorated, and clean.. Most tables are for two people. Parking is easy since the restaurant is in a small strip mall. Great place for take-out or to relax and enjoy some delicious fish and chips. read more

I've been searching for a great fish and chips spot ever since my trip to London, and I can confidently say this place comes the closest to the real thing. Out of all the fish and chips restaurants I've tried, this one truly stands out. My go-to order is the seafood combo every time--the fish is incredibly fresh, soft, and juicy. Portions are generous, and they offer a great variety of sauces. Their tartar sauce is absolutely to die for. I even asked if I could buy a bottle, and the owner was kind enough to gift me one instead. Amazing food and outstanding service--100/10. read more
