So, I'm really trying to eat and live a healthier lifestyle, and if you're doing the same, don't go here.... But if you are really craving something, anything, EVERYTHING fried, this is your place. My in-laws wanted to eat here, cause it's nearby and they make foods fast and taste good. I love fried food once in a while, and this place specializes in exactly that. Real tasty fish and chips and everything in between. All foods come out consistent in color and texture. The fish was flakey and moist, fired onions were perfect, and zucchini came out delicious. Of course the fries were spot on. I've have not seen anything burned or brownish in color. The batter was very tasty as well. The place is old, but it was clean for the most part. They probably haven't and won't upgrade there dining area anytime soon, or at all. But it feels like a place you come here to eat and go. You come here for the friedness. read more

I've been coming here for probably 10 years. They cook the fish fresh right in front of you. The hush puppies are really good and the service is great. read more

This owner is super racist. She refuses service based on what folks look like- and she will NEVER get our money again. Asian folks are allowed to buy extra tarter, but my Black husband is limited to ONE and told "that is enough, go eat" and not allowed to buy more and waived off. Then the next customer, who was also Black, was denied tarter as well, even though he also was buying it. But the previous customer who was asian was allowed to buy multiple tarter sauces with no problem. read more

Great. Crispy to perfection. Big puces of fish. Good fries. Excellent tater (a little horseradish in it maybe?) Friendly. Fast. Dropped off at your tablet with malt vinegar and ketchup. Sofa fountain refills are $.50 but the large "medium" later me through two pollocks and fries. read more

I come here often the fish is always hella good and crispy you've got to give it a try

DISGUSTING!!! If you are looking for the most flavorless food in Sacramento this is it! I wish I could give no stars, I will never eat here or refer here! My stomach hurt so bad taste like old grease. The old lady cook got mad cuz I wanted my money back, she shld be happy she got away with giving me my money back instead of paying my medical bill.. Neva..eva..eva..eva will I eat here!! read more

Captain Fish & Chips - FLAVORLESS !!!!!!!! If you want flavorless food this place is it!! BTW this cost $15 on my way back for a refund! My stomach is hurting bad. - Fish & Chips Near Me - Sacramento, California

Stumbled in here pretty randomly and I had the 2 piece pollock fish and was I so glad I ordered them-- I think even non-seafood eaters would enjoy it! For me... it's all about the batter. The words I would choose are hot, crisp, and salty, without being too much so. In this instance, though, I think just giving it a try yourself will serve better than words. The fish was nicely tender and super flaky. The chips (fries) are a terrific accompaniment. These aren't the standard fries you'll find elsewhere. Loved the thickness and the chips are crinkled-cut which..is..my..favorite!! If you're craving some fish & chips, I would definitely recommend this spot. Because, If I'm ever in the area again, I'm definitely coming back! read more

I like going to this place. It's close to where I love and work, the food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are nice. I've only been going here for a year. I can't believe I haven't seen this place sooner. My go to is the 2 piece pollock and I always get a side of calamari. They did change the menu a bird the calamari side used to be 12 pieces, now it's 10. I figured to cut costs maybe. But it's still really good. You can be full for easily less than $10. read more

Captain Fish & Chips - Crab cakes for 5.99 - Fish & Chips Near Me - Sacramento, California

It was pretty cool . Their portions are huge I'd come by here again The only thing I have a problem with is it doesn't feel that clean but for where it is . As long as I don't see pests and food is handled well I have no deal breaking issues read more

This little eatery is your typical "hole in the wall" style establishment. Nothing special about the décor, and as a matter of fact, the only outstandingly negative thing that first comes to mind, is that the chairs were uncomfortable. The chair backs sit straight up, forcing you to have perfect posture. My back is just not in to that! But, it's the food that draws us here. While they have some tempting selections of deep fried options, I have only (as yet) ordered what they are popular for - fish and chips. The fish they use is a delicate, flaky, whitefish called Pollock. Perfectly cooked, not too greasy, and best of all not fishy tasting! We each ordered the 2 piece fish meal with fries (AKA chips) and a drink. It was plenty enough food for my appetite. Although you can order as much fish as you think you can eat. The chips were pretty good, and tasted about average as you would find in most restaurants that serve fries. Crispy on the outside with just the right amount of salt. Included were lemon slices and squeezable bottles of ketchup, tarter sauce and cocktail sauces placed on the table that you serve yourself, along with the traditional malt vinegar bottle. If you refill your drink at the self serve soda fountain, they charge an extra 25 cents. I imagine they had to do this because of people taking advantage of over refilling their drinks. After all, this is not an upper class area of South Sac. The food was very satisfying and hit the spot! The owners were also quite pleasant and friendly, even while they were busy working. We let them know how much we enjoyed the food, and they were very appreciative of the compliments as we waived goodbye. "I'll be back!" read more

One of my go to spots in South Sacramento. The catfish is so good and definitely has the best tartar sauce. 10/10!!

Best fish and chips in the area ofc always very good they have the best tartar sauce I don't mind paying the 50 cents.

Today was the first time that my husband and I ate here. Adorable decor and a very inviting atmosphere. The owner and staff are extremely friendly. The fish was delicious, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. No over powering taste of oil, just the great taste of fish and scallops. Their crab cakes are by far the most delicious I have had. We will be returning! read more

Was trying to support this small business during the COVID19 virus however I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND WOULD NOT GO AGAIN. Terrible customer service! The food was not ready on time even though I called the order in 30mins prior and was told it would be on time, scallops were not cooked they were still RAW inside. Ordered for 3 people, 3 separate meals. Asked for condiments such as hot sauce, vinegar and ranch and was given ONE of each. When I expressed that there are 3 meals for 3 people and need one for each order I was asked to pay for condiments that SHOULD BE GIVEN with each order. Woman was very rude and started yelling "THERE'S ENOUGH OR YOU CAN PAY FOR MORE THAN ONE". read more

Came here Saturday afternoon with hubby. The girl at the front counter seemed to hate her job. No smiles no welcome nothing. Fine! We placed our order for fish and chicken combo, onion rings and 2 piece catfish. Food came and I found a small piece of hair. Seemed maybe from the owners wife. Killed my appetite. This place isn't cheap. Not to mention I'm a familiar customer here. I immediately took my basket to the girl in the front and said there's a hair on the fish. She looked at it and walked away with the basket. I sat down with her walking to us and asking soooo did you want us to make it again or what. I'm like what. I'll take the refund. Girl snapped talking about don't give me attitude, it's not my hair. I didn't cook your food. That did it. The owners wife proceeded with my refund and had to nerve to ask if I'm mad? No I'm disappointed I explained, because not once did any of you say sorry. Not once. read more

Captain Fish & Chips - The outside of the building - Fish & Chips Near Me - Sacramento, California

I must say I was amazed by their food! The place is really a hole in the wall and didn't look like much. I ordered the two piece pollock and that was only around $7. A really good price for the food that was served. The fish was really large and was really crisp and crunchy on the outside. It was so amazing! Minus one star because -The fries could've been better, they were basic crinkle fries that appeared to come unsalted -I ordered to go so she was nice to include condiments, but there was no lemon! The lemon is key to fish and chips, and I saw another customer who was eating there have it so I was a bit bummed I didn't get any read more

I have been going here for years and it is the best fish and chips in the area hands down. Fried zucchini and onion rings are good too. Never disappoints. read more

If you like good Fish and Chips try Captain Fish and Chips. Reasonable price, the fish batter is fried to a perfect crisp with crinkle fries, the condiments is brought to you refrigerate, not setting in room temperature, the building is a little old, but the inside is kept clean. It seems to be a Family owned business that takes pride on what they serve you... Thank you Mary for a good Fish and Chips... read more

I visited there today 2/7/23, the prices have tripled and they wanted to charge me $.75 cents for a .25 cent condiment. The quantity of food is less than it used to be and is served on a pile of fries.I​ guess that's what comes with new owners. I won't go back and will let my friends know also. A meal that was $6.99 is now $17.99. read more

I was picking up some fried chicken when I spotted this place next door. I decided to stop in and order the sample platter and I was so glad I did. The sample platter included a huge strip of pollock, 2 oysters, 2 scallops, 4 shrimps, and chips deep fried to perfection. I was blown away. I highly recommend this place. 4 stars out of 5 because the customer service isn't the best but I will definitely be back. read more

Love this place! Been eating here for years. Hands down bomb fish and chips. Fried mushrooms, zucchini are always a must when eating here!

fish and chips are usually my go to when I'm in the mood for fried food! Upon entering I was greeted by a young man and gave my order. The staff were pretty friendly and easy going. That's why I'm giving this review a three star instead of one because the food was subpar. I ordered the pollock fish with chips(fries). It was pretty mediocre at best. I like coming to mom and pops owned fish and chips because of the fresh made tartar sauce. But this place didn't have the best sauce and for me that's the best part. So it was pretty disappointing. The fish didn't taste fresh and had a smell to it. Not sure if it was the oil or the fish itself. I'll probably stick with oceans fish and chips in Elk Grove. read more

My initial thought with the place was it looked kinda ran down inside. But I still wanted to try the food. It wasn't to bad... I've had better fish up the street. The ice maker was broke. I had to ask for lemons.. That should of been offered from a seafood place! The customer service was good. The prices were a little high in my opinion. I would come back but it wouldn't be my first choice.. read more

I ordered the Fish and Prawns combo and my hubby ordered the fish and chkn with fried zucchini. The fish was delicious. Only issue I had is they gave me 2 ranch dips and I told her I wanted 2 more and she said it would be $1 more i went out to the car and we decided we wanted 3 xtra ranch and didnt mind paying but supposedly they were out of ranch so I couldn't buy 3 more I only got 2 more. Ranch is a big deal to me. I'm a ranch person. I never mind paying xtra but I felt like she just didnt want to give me more ranch. Other then that the food tasted good read more

Captain is the only place I refer people to when they are looking for local quality with consistent freshness and flavor! They use a cornmeal crusted crispy seasoned batter on their fish and a light beer batter on their shellfish. The 10 piece fish strips, fried zucchini, hush puppies, shrimp and calamari are just a few of my favorites! They make great side dishes too. (I don't even like coleslaw and I eat theirs). And their yummy tartar sauce, hot sauce and malt vinegar packets are the perfect accompaniment so please don't forget to try them. If that's not enough Allow me to break it down to you this way: The food is so classically delicious that my 11 year old kid actually asks to eat here as a REWARD when he scores high on tests. Not pizza or sushi but Captains Fish and Chips! Check them out and see what it's all about! read more

First time here & very happy with my decision! The Pollock was perfectly flaky & the batter was thick & crispy.(exactly the way it should be) I also got an order of the deep fried zucchini & it was to die for. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because I was not impressed with the tarter sauce. read more

Fish was over cooked & Fries are the frozen ones you get out of the grocery store freezer. I called in a order, was 7mins late picking it up (from the time they gave me) and still had to wait another 5-7mins for my order. Not sure if it was an off day but I probably won't try again. read more

Captain Fish & Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - Sacramento, California

The owner was friendly, the establishment was clean. The fish portions were shockingly large and the food was fried "just right". I didn't give five stars because the catfish was very bland, and if you decide to try their food, I recommend adding your own seasoning and hot sauce. I don't require a lot of spice, but the fish was unusually bland. Also, I didn't think the shrimp was a good value for the money. I would go back, because once I added hot sauce and a dash of spice, it was g. The fish is an excellent value, and they are fast. Next time I'll try the pollock fish. read more

Great food, friendly staff, good place for fish & chips. The catfish was amazing! The cashier was also super friendly. Got a chance to meet the owners as well and you can tell they are super caring people. Will be my go to place for fish and chips moving forward. Definitely recommend. read more

I have been coming to Captain Fish and Chips every six months or so for years now. I always get the three piece Pollock fish and chips. It is definitely the best bang for your buck. You get three nice sized deep fried Pollock fillets over a small pile of previously frozen crinkle cut fries for less than ten dollars. I had a bowl of clam chowder the last time I was there. It definitely was not out of a can. It was thick and creamy with large chunks of potatoes but not a lot of clams and not much flavor. I recommend you stick with the Pollock. Don't forget to squeeze a little lemon on it and dip it in some tarter sauce. It may not be a gourmet meal but it is a whole hell of a lot better than Long John Silvers. Three and a half stars. read more

Captain Fish & Chips is not located in the best area and it's not a fancy restaurant. They do have tables, but it's more a take-out place. What matters is that I have found the proprietors to be pleasant, their prices reasonable, and most importantly, their food is delicious. I get the Pollock Fish, and I love their onion rings. I find myself wondering why someone would go to any other fish and chips shop when the portions, price and flavor of what you get at Captain's is so much better ... Obviously, only because they have not tried this place yet. read more

I really like this place the food was crispy and fried fresh (so there was a little wait) I did notice that there wasn't salt added to the fries which can be good if you have high blood pressure (you always can add it latter). The pricing was pretty standard for a fish and chip place. What I really liked is that the ladies gave me everything I needed (napkins, malt vinegar, tartar sauce, etc) with out asking. I definately will come back if I'm in the area and want some fried goodness. read more

Had the sampler platter. At just under $10, it was kind of pricey for what you get: 1 good-sized piece of fish with chips. Plus 2 scallops, 2 oysters, a few shrimp--all which were tiny. Everything was deep-fried to the appropriate doneness. The oysters and shrimp were pretty good for what little there was of them. The fish--pollock (you get a choice of that or catfish)--was a bit on the bland side. But, both scallops were funky, and I don't mean in the soulful way! I doubt I'll be back. I think I'd rather OD on sodium at Long John Silver's first. read more
