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

Just bought a house down the street and decided to try this place. I will admit I was skeptical at first. I ordered the sea food sampler. It came with one fish, 2 oysters, 2 scallops, 3 prawns, and chips (frys). The food was great nice and crispy. I don't have one complaint about the food. The restraint is a hole in the wall spot and the furniture is old but I knew that by looking at the out side. I will definitely be coming back here!!!!! read more

Captain Fish & Chips - Sea food platter - Fish & Chips Near Me - Sacramento, California

I don't know how you can go wrong with fish and chips. It looks a little ran down and small but it's one of the very few good fish and chips joints around nowadays. The folks there are very nice and walk the food to your table. It's never really packed which is good for us but not sure if it's good for them haha The place could be a little cleaner but I've seen worse. Check them out! It's always my go-to place. Good portions, great taste, and good service. I don't think you can beat that :) read more

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

So I've been here a few times before and must say the food is good but a bit over priced. I ordered fried mushrooms and asked does it come with Ranch and of course it does. However the cup is "extra" small, and it cost $.25 for each extra cup. Ummmm Yeah "I'll need about 10" .......ridiculous especially considering I just spent $15.00. read more

Updating my last review. I hadn't been to this place in about three months and they made a lot of changes since. Firstly, the place wasn't as full as it usually is around lunch time and that should have been the biggest sign something was up. They changed the tables and they look nice, so that's great. However, the prices seem to have gone up... while the food isn't as good as I remember. Also, you used to have the choice of what fish you wanted, they'd be different prices, but still around the same price. Now, the usual meal I used to get is almost $5 more if I want catfish, which is what I tend to get here. Now, the default fish is a fish that isn't very good, in my opinion. It was dry and tasteless. Used to be my go-to place for a reasonably priced meal, but I guess all the good business they were doing made them think they could up the prices and people would still come in droves. The lady behind me also seemed to be surprised by the change. She saw the new prices and left, lol. read more

Excellent fish. I didn't try the onion rings or other sides, but I recommend doing so and staying away from the chips/fries (tasted like they were originally frozen - as you would find in a grocery store). A "Fish n Chips" restaurant should really make their chips fresh. Good price for the portion size, but recommend sticking to the fish. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past , but I was practically dying of hunger so I popped in. The definition of a hole -in-the-wall. I got the 1 piece pollock fish and chicken strips and wow... delicious food. A classic fish and chip meal done right. Golden-brown cooked fish with fresh crispy French fries with all the essentials (tartar sauce, malt vinegar and ketchup). There's about a hundred options available on the menu. You really can't go wrong. Not much else to say besides go see for yourself! You won't be disappointed. read more

Prices were kinda okay I guess (usually u order fish and chips at a diner or joint it would be 8-10 bucks anyway) But they were super busy, it was hot in there which made it uncomfortable to sit and eat (i suggest togo) The tables felt oily ... And not everything is fresh... Freshly fried... Yes . But that doesn't mean they use frozen seafood. Soooo, it was... Just ok. read more

Walking in the first thing that comes to mind is if the floors are wet and if you'll slip on them, but it turns out to be just really glossy. But putting that aside, the staff seemed nice enough. I asked what the best bang for the buck is and they suggested the combo baskets. For 10 dollars I got a drink, a piece of pollock, 2 chicken strips, and store bought french fries. Now the pollock was decently and wasn't too dry, but it was just one piece, while the chicken strips were the contrary, dry and overstuffed with batter. But all in all, it was just bland and nothing out of the ordinary. When it comes to a student eating out, priorities goes as follows, price, then quality, then quantity. As for a 3 inadequate piece box for 10 dollars leaving me hungry for both taste and fulfillment, I don't think it meets the price standard. Until they either raise the portions or the quality of the food, I don't think there is any return value. read more

The prices are fair, but the food just wasn't that good. The batter is extremely bland.

Decent food. I tried the pollock, prawns and oysters. I wish they had a larger variety of fish. They inly sale pollock and cat fish, which was very disappointing. I don't eat cat fish so my choices are slim. read more

Worst service ever! We ordered fish n chips plus an order of fried zucchini. In the middle of our meal I had a zucchini in hand and as I was reaching for the bottle of ranch so did a second hand so i looked up and it was the older Asian lady who brought our food to our table so she said oh I need that bc I only have one bottle of ranch so I gave it to her thinking she was filling some togo order and would bring it back since we were still using it but instead she gave it to the lady 3 tables down from us! She never asked hey are you done using that she almost grabbed it out of my hand! We couldn't believe how rude she was! Never going back!! read more

My Great Aunt, 88, had a taste for fried catfish so I went to this place being referred by my cousin. I'm vegetarian so was seeking fried veggie options which ended up me trying the fried zucchini. My Aunt absolutely loved the fried catfish and will definitely be sending me back here again. read more

They have every assortment of fresh seafood! Everything is cooked to perfection and they know how to satisfy everyone. Will definitely be coming back read more

Sign said that they close at 8pm on Saturdays and the Closed sign placed across the doors said also 8pm. I was at the store just after 7pm and the store was closed. The lights over the counter were still on. Went to Church's Chicken. Got a great meal from them... read more

If you're looking for a good fish and chips spot, look no further. The fish was firm, flaky, and the batter was crisp. Worth the stop, you will not be let down! read more

I grew up down the street from here. The best fish in the city hands down. Quick n easy cooked to perfection every time. Small operation the folks who work here are really cool. If you ever find yourself on Mack Rd you must try this place. read more

Awesome place 1st time here very welcoming and so friendly clean and ohhh sooo good I had the fish and chips, its hard to find places like this most places are those $1 freezer things not here this is the REAL deal I will be back the time I pass through from Turlock, THANK YOU read more

Captains had been in business about 16 years. I always get the pollack fish and prawns. I don't care for the french fries , but the onion rings and fried zucchini are good. Reasonably priced and consistent. It's a small place and has a few tables, but not a place I would sit down to eat. The neighborhood isn't great, but the fish and prawns keep me coming back. read more

The best!! The best fish and chips in the Sacramento area. If you've ever been to New Zealand, that's as authentic as it gets. They're fish and chips are very similar. They are a mom and pop shop and I hope that they stay open forever. You will love this place. I've only had the fish and chips and that's enough for me. read more

Had the cod fish and chips. My wife had the mozzarella sticks served without sauce which made them a bit dry.

This mom n pop joint rocks!! The prices are great , the fish is de-lish, and it's always fresh! Now the decor leaves something to be desired ...but overall the food and service are great! read more

Not bad... Food was great, service is a little slow. Prices are a little high but it makes up for the big portions

I had to come back and edit this. I originally gave them 4 stars but after last night I took it down to 3. I got there a few minutes before closing. The doors were wide open and they were standing behind the counter talking. I went in to place an order and they said they were closed and their fryers were off. I'm sorry, but if you say you are open until 9 pm you take new customers until 9 PM. I spent 20 years cooking in restaurants and you don't turn customers away before you are closed. Once you are closed and you have cooked the last customers food THEN you shut down the fryers and clean and close up. They would have had plenty of time to get my order finished before closing. They lost a sale of at least $20-25 and may lose me as a customer if they pull such a stunt again. I am about to go back to this place right now before they close in 30 minutes but thought I would leave a short review. We had fish, fries, onion rings and hush puppies and it was all absolutely perfect. We are going to make this a new regular fish place. However, they have the most sad excuse for tartar sauce that I have ever experienced. We sat down at the table, looked for tartar sauce, squirted some stuff out of the two bottles with white stuff inside and neither closely resembled tartar sauce nor tasted like it. The lady behind the counter(great service, by the way) seemed confused that we asked for tartar sauce and said "It's right there". One turned out to be Ranch and one was their idea of tartar sauce. Both were very thin liquids. We ended up having our food bagged and we took it home after stopping off at the store to buy some real tartar sauce. If they get a better tartar sauce recipe I will be glad to sit and eat there. But for now, takeout only so I can use my own tartar sauce. read more

I love there fish n chips. Not in a great neighborhood area but food is good. If you guys like fish n chips stop by this place. There services is okay, I order to go. read more

This is one of those great little hole in the wall places; don't let the looks of the building fool you. The fish and chicken are always crispy, not greasy, and fried fresh for you while you wait. read more

Haven't had fish n chips in awhile so thought I would check this place out. So glad I did! Had the pollack which was delicious. Perfect crispiness and not too oily at all. French fries are my weakness and theirs were awesome (nothing fancy or special, but cooked perfectly). Took an order to go for the family and surprisingly the fish and fries stayed pretty crisp considering it wasn't eaten right away. I'm def coming back. read more

One of my favorite fish and chips locations. I've new here numerous times and I just love how the fish tastes as well as the fried zucchini.... love them! read more

Every time I come the fish is always hot and fresh... These ladies know what there doing when it comes to good fried fish... Never a problem when I eat here... Big portions for a decent price! read more

I can believe I wasted my time even coming here it was absolutely terrible. I ordered the sampler and it came out looking like a burnt piece of toast. Oil was dark and everything soaked in oil. That's not even the worst part, the fried scallops were basically fried tires, felt like I was chewing on a dog toy. NOW THIS IS THE WORST PART ... a few hours later my stomach started to hurt and I had to take like the wettest number 2. Aka this place gave me diarrhea. Terrible, over priced 12 bucks for barely anything, your better off eating the dumpster at churches chicken. read more

Omg the fish is amazing the best I've had in Sacramento I've lived on the east coast and south for years never found a fish place like this omg !! read more

Great hole in the wall spot....they just need to offer collard greens and mac n cheese. Then it's a 5 starr restaurant.

When i went there i got fish and fries. I decided to get some water too. I figured that the water would be colder if it had ice in it. So, i filled the cup with ice, and the ice was chippy, and it was filling up my cup up so then i really could not put water in it. So, i apparently did not get ice in it and the water was not cold. I finally got my fish and fries, and the fries were so hot, it just felt like i burned all my taste buds off. I tried my fish and that was even worse. I waited like 30 minutes and it was still hot, but i tried it and it was ok. Thank you, captian fish & chips for understanding. I hope next time i go there it will be better. Another thing is too that they didnt have many great items, and the items seemed gross too. Like cat fish, but the only "ok" thing was the fish and chips. Add better items to your menu! And cook the fish the right way. read more

The best fish and chips in Sacramento! Perfectly fried and tasty, and the lady there was very friendly.

This Place is wonderful. The food is great, the serving sizes are great and it's so consistent each and every time. I have been going here for almost 20 years and I still like it just as much even through the changes. They have wonderful fish choices along with other choices for the people that want something different. 3-Full Orders again tonight, can't wait to have it. dt\\ dt read more

Excellent customer service. Very inviting environment, and the food is unbelievably great. The menu has a lot of options Plus all the classic and favorite fried seafood you could imagine. Overall 10/10. Would highly recommend read more

Unfortunately I experienced disrespect from a Korean lady when I called to complain about my suppose to be prawns that were bite size shrimp. She was very rude and would not return my money or replace the order after paying a pricey $14 bucks. I will not be patronizing them again. Very rude people and they are not into customer satisfaction. read more

Wish we didn't wasted our money. I could careless about if a place is a hole in the wall or fancy. What matters is the taste of the food. All the sauces were all really watered down. I convinced my guy to share an side order of the zucchini fries (since he's never had it).They were not sliced like sticks but thick and with not much batter coating them. We shared an order of the seafood platter which had 1 fish, 4 shrimp, 2 oysters, and 2 scallops for around $9.50. Would have been a deal but the only thing I semi enjoyed was the 2 oysters. All and all it was a let down. The food in general was bland and some of the items were way to greasy. We left regretting going there even over a fast food spot. read more
