Hands down probably the best fish and chips I've ever had!!! While the fries weren't that great, the fish definitely made up for it. The prawns were crispy and tasted, kind of tasted a little bit like corn bread. The onion rings were fantastic, and the jalapeño poppers were great. Usually not a big fan of jalapeño poppers but these were amazing. The place is a little small but it's so cute and cozy in there and the service staff is pretty nice for the most part. Super close to the beach so you can eat there and walk down the food with a beautiful view right down the road. We will definitely be back!! read more

Visited recently for the first time. Was impressed with the comfortable yet cozy interior. A nice selection of well-kept beers and plenty of transitional non-alcoholic options. The service was also efficient and very friendly. I had the 1pc fish and chips option which was really tasty and good value for money. Crisp, tasty batter covering a very nice piece of well-cooked, fresh fish. The handcut chips were excellent and the closest I've had to UK-style chips in the US. A few minor things that I noted: 1) I think the oil used for frying had quite a distinctive flavor (not bad per se, just noticable). Maybe maize or some kind of nut oil. I doubt beef lard or dripping is possible but, in the absence of that, perhaos an even more neutral-flavored oil might be beneficial. 2) the small red baskets used to serve the food are not ideal in my opinion. The fish sits on top of the chips making it harder to get a proper balance of seasoning on both the fish and chips (I like differing amounts of salt, vinegar, and lemon on my chips versus fish for example). It also makes cutting and portioning trickier than if the food was served on a more regular plate. 3) it would be great to see some alternative sauce options (beyond tartar) such as mushy peas, gravy, or a curry. I am very particular when it comes to fish and chips and so the above things are honestly just minor suggestions that the owners might care to consider. All in all I was really happy with food and overall experience at Camelot and will most definitely be back. read more

After all these years,  we finally tried this place.   We're not big on fish and chips. We usually only eat fish during Lent.  We were in the area and decided to go here for lunch.     When you walk in, it's not that big but so many pictures to look at.  It has a very welcoming and homey vibe.  You can tell, there's a whole lot of history here.     I was greeted and helped right away.  Georgia was super nice and helped me narrow down my order, but I still got a sample of everything they had to offer.  She was super patient with me and friendly.  She seemed like she enjoyed working here. I ordered: 1.  The camelot - This was the perfect sampler.  I've never tried fried oysters or scallops before.  The fish was light and flaky.  Surprisingly, the oysters and scallops didn't lose their flavor with the batter.   You can taste the flavor of each item.   It didn't taste like they were all the same thing since it was fried.  The chips were thick and crunchy. 2.  Krabbycakes and onion rings - This is not your standard crab cake.  It was light and flavorful.  The onion rings were amazing as well,  super crunchy. 3.  Deep fried twinkies - This was amazing. It's to eat it right away. 4.  Cock & bull ginger beer & root beer -  both were perfect and complimented thr food.      This place was delicious.   I had told Georgia I was looking for bread or something to absorb all the greasiness.  Surprisingly,  I don't think you need it.   The food was all fried but didn't make me feel like it was too much.   Usually with fried foods, you feel like you need tea or something to help digest or help with that heavy feeling.  Here it was not the case, it was perfect.   I felt like I could eat so much more.   Maybe this is why they've been around for 55 years or more.  The food was amazing, the service was above and beyond.   I will definitely be back read more

Great food, great service, ambiance is a small chip shop. Fried mars bar is better than the Twinkie. Probably 3/5 dollar signs.

Came in for the first time this afternoon and ordered a two piece fish and chips. It's now a toss-up between Barbara's in El Granada and Camelot for my favorite fish and chips in the bay. Camelot charges $19.25 for two pieces. Both pieces are big and freshly-fried, not too much breading, and the fish tastes fresh and tender. Their chips are what impressed me most: they are not just garden-variety French fries; they are proper, flat but not quite flat frites that are both finger-foodable and also forkable. Comes with tartar sauce and the squeezable ketchup bottles at the table were clean and filled. The restaurant has very cute English pub decor and the service is friendly and efficient. Street parking is easy nearby. Finish lunch with a catty corner walk to Mazzetti's for some derby cake! I'm so glad I found this place; I'll be back for lunch the next time I'm in Pacifica. Six stars! read more

It's been 55 years, I still remember how great the customer service was. In does days you pay for your service after eating. When it came to paying my bill, which was less than a couple of dollars,I reached into my pocket and I didn't have my wallet. I believe it was the owner son was working that afternoon. He was tall, slim, with dark rim glasses. I informed him I didn't have any money to pay for my bill. But I will leave my motorcycle helmet as collateral. The son said just pay me the next time you are in the neighborhood. Since I lived in Daly City just over the hill,I flew home, got my wallet, went back to Camelot and paid my bill, thank the son for trusting me. I still remember this to this day when I walk by the Camelot Fish and Chips shop read more

I hardly ever go to fish & chips shops because frankly I don't like to encourage myself to eat deep-fried foods. Unless it's chicken or tempura or tater tots or Oreos. OK, maybe I don't have such strict nutritional boundaries. Regardless, I was taking a little staycation drive to Pacifica and really never walked in what amounts to be their downtown. There I most definitely found an old-fashioned fish & chips shop. Opened in 1969, it offers full-tilt British decor down to the red phone booth doubling as the restroom door in a relatively small space. The server was a Brit with a warm personality and conscientious manner, and the menu provided the usual selection of fish, chicken and seafood with the chips. Feeling self-indulgent, I went for the $19.90 Combination Fish & Chicken & Chips (photo: https://yelp.to/7SpcsxvJZf). It was quite a feast in a plastic red basket with a large cod filet accompanied by three chicken strips atop quite a pile of fries. Tartar sauce included. She provided a little barrel of condiments including ketchup, vinegar, and British brown sauce. Too much for me so I took half of it home. FOOD - 4 stars...quite a nosh...hope you're starving, mate AMBIANCE - 4 stars...like being in Brighton on a nippy morning SERVICE - 5 stars...she was truly the British goodwill ambassador TOTAL - 4 stars...scrummy, mate!

A British vibe in Pacifica serving fresh crispy fried seafood and chips combos where you can choose from fish, shrimp, chicken or fried oysters, along several beers on tap. The decor is reminiscent of a British pub with wooden furniture and memorabilia lining the walls. We ordered the fish and chips combos that were served with tartar sauce. They even gave us additional tartar sauce without asking since we were sharing a plate which was much appreciated. The food was fresh and hot and the chips complemented the fried fish perfectly. Service was prompt and friendly. Would come here again! read more

Love this place! It's located in Pacifica in a plaza with the beach nearby. Been coming here for over 10 years. Love that the staff is generationally trained and keeps the food consistent! The ambiance is so homey and great vibes! Staff is always accommodating and friendly!!! The best fish and chips hands down. Every time I order the food is consistently crunch, juicy, and served hot! I usually order The Camelot which comes with one piece of fish with shrimp(3), scallops (3), and oysters(3), served with chips. Condiments are now on the table, which I like because I don't hesitate to ask anymore! And they added HP Brown sauce. Fits well with the theme and is delicious with my meal! Tried mushroom and onion rings last visit and it was spot on! I treasure this place! read more

1 Star -- Completely Overrated. Don't Waste Your Time or Money. Given the high esteem and glowing reviews this place receives, our experience was a massive disappointment. We arrived on a Wednesday at 11:45 AM. There was only one party of three ahead of us, yet it took a full 30 minutes just to get our order. When the food finally arrived, it was immediately clear what took so long: the fish was completely overcooked. While the exterior had a deceptive, rich golden color, the actual execution was terrible. The fish fillets were cut far too thin, and the batter coating was incredibly thick and gummy right next to the flesh. When a restaurant sits right next to the ocean, the seafood should be pristine and fresh, not ruined by poor technique. My wife's shrimp was no better. I tried one and it was flat, dry, and completely lifeless. There is absolutely no reason to butterfly and smash shrimp down to nothing. This establishment needs to learn to respect the ingredients. It is entirely baffling how this food gets high ratings. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

I been here a number of times over the years. It's been a while but the food was always just delicious. I love the zucchini, shrimp and fries. I have also had the fish and fried mushrooms are super good too! I think it's a must try when it comes to fish and chips! Fresh fried food and a neighborhood staple. Please never change bc I love it love it love it. Not much seating but if you can grab a table sit and enjoy a drink and meal, they are rustic and old school which I adore. read more

All i can say is wow the two piece fish and chips is just enough for me very tasty. The cashier and host are very nice and attentive to my needs nothing picky on my part.

We ordered lunch to go as we drove to Pacifica for my husband's mother and it was finished very quickly after we arrived. We ordered the 3 piece fish and chips as well as an order of deep fried mushrooms. I also made notes for cooking condiments.

If you are looking for authentic fish and chips as served in a UK 'chippy' you need to go here.

Great fish and chips. Place is a hole in the wall with probably 8 tables and 4 bar seats. Place was full on a Friday afternoon, so I sat at the bar. They do a lively amount of togo orders, so the staff is busy and always moving quickly, yet they do an excellent job taking orders and making the food in a reasonable amount of time. I'm not in Pacifica very often, but I will definitely eat here when I am. read more

Really enjoy their food, but they've made it so difficult to order without going in, it makes you think twice. You can't call in a pick up order, they won't accept it. Then you go online and you have to fill in a page of details, and no other way to pay except by CC. There should be a place to check cash. And they're not partnered with any delivery services. read more

We ordered the 3 piece fish, crab cake, fries and onion rings. The fish was good, not great. Fries were not crunchy, kinda limpy. Crab cake was a miss. It just tasted like potato cake and no crab. They didn't put enough crab in the crab cake mix. Onion rings were ok. Overall, it was just OK. Wouldn't go back as there were nothing of note to go back for. read more
