Location, location, location, plus a good menu of fresh fish served anyway you want! Good craft beer on tap, and friendly staff. Fish and chips are really good, fresh and crispy. The tacos with grilled fish are really good, piled high with cabbage, and salsa. read more

Jalapeño batter halibut and sweet potato chips for the win. Best I've ever had with an ocean view as an added bonus. Highly recommend!

Their seared (rare) ahi on pretty much ANYTHING is exceptional. I salivate as I write this. Their ordering process can be a bit confusing for your first time. Just stand in line, read the instructions on the board above and trust me, you'll be happy you came here once the food rolls around! Don't mind the view either! read more

Tasty food, but I can't help thinking that it is a bit overpriced. If you chopped the price by about 40% I could see it being worth it, but $18.00 for two tacos? REALLY? Well at least it is self-service and so you don't have to factor in a tip on top of that. Still, I can't help but wonder how much you are paying for the touristy location. read more

Eric Ericssons Fish Co - Salmon Tacos - Seafood Near Me - Ventura, California

This place serves really good clam chowder, my second all time favorite! There is a spice in there that makes it different but I can't quite put my finger on it. You can end up spending alot here depending on what you get. Most of the menu is your choice of fish or vegetable mix that you can add to pasta, salad, or make tacos with, which can make it pricey. One of the best things that isn't mix and match is definitely the smoked salmon on fried green tomatoes. read more

I've grown up in Ventura since 1967. This place used to be over on Pierpont, and was known as Eric Ericssons. It was a great place then, and it's a great place now. Not nearly as divey as it used to be, and honestly, that's a loss. It feels a little corporate now. However, you can't beat the location on the pier, with the stunning sunsets and perfect weather every single day of the year. This is a great place to kick back with a drink and some appetizers, or to bring a date for a wonderful night out. Highly recommended. read more

Yum!! Let me start by saying that I'm not a fish person but the fish tacos were yummy! We ordered Mahi battered and Mahi blackened and split them (you get 2 tacos per order). Both were really good. You order at the counter and they give you a beeper. Plenty of seating and parking is free with validation. read more

Once again, the Beach House (1st floor) does not fail to impress. Drove up from LA and not only is the food excellent, but the staff are very helpful. read more

I got a beer from Made West Brewing and the hey have me a $5 coupon for BHF. I went downstairs and ordered fish tacos. They were not very clear that they would call my number on the loudspeaker and I needed to wait outside. They were a little rude about telling me to go outside. The fish tacos were very good and worth the wait. read more

I had the Louie salad and a cup of sopa de pescado. Both were amazing. Reasonably priced and big portions too. read more

At first thought the ordering procedure was a little strange and prices a little high. Then we received our food and all that went out the door. Everything was great, adults were happy, kids were happy. Ordered seafood mac and cheese, fish tacos, smoked salmon on fried green tomatoes, chicken sandwich, small clam chowder and fries. Everything was perfect(fries were whatever). Will go again to try new things. read more

Eric Ericssons Fish Co - Even a six year enjoyed the salmon and fried tomatoes! - Seafood Near Me - Ventura, California

My wife wanted me to vote one star but I feel it was better than one (and I don't "review for someone else"). Basically, I've definitely experienced better. The fish was actually good quality, that's the one plus. The 3.50 Sonoma cider also rescued them from one star. And the fact that they at least were not unfriendly. The place is basically like a good fish cafeteria, but priced like a moderately expensive seafood place. The batter (regular, not jalapeno) was heavily spiced with some musty and pungent combination of spices and made the fish fry almost inedible. The clam chowder was not served with oyster crackers, but was served with a couple small slices of french bread, okay that's fine. But the soup tasted like it was out of a can. Not horrible, just average (certainly not worth the "nice seafood restaurant" prices they charged). Leaving the place, that MSG buzz set in and a bit later the MSG headache settled in for a nice long evening. They use lots of MSG. I should have asked. The inside of the place is rustic and like you'd expect at a pier, a bit campy and very touristy. They should change the place into a spongebob theme place or something, and cater to families by serving fish sticks or something. They don't do seafood well (have had seafood up and down the coast of California, up and down the eastern coast of Mexico, in Italy and in France, I'm an amateur consumer, not pro by any means but this ain't my first bowl of chowder, matey). 60 dollars for food we mostly could not eat, and then an MSG headache later on. Meh, I've experienced better. read more

Okay we live in Ventura and we go to all the big players in seafood restaurants and this place is a hidden gem. The food is always well prepared and served, and Chaz the bartender makes the absolute best Bloody Mary I've ever had. Be sure and try the pickled Bloody Mary This place should be busy every hour it is open but it is pleasantly occupied and there's never a big wait to get food. read more

This is our go to place to bring out of town guests. The view is great, the drinks are great (although a bit pricey if it's not happy hour), and they have something for everyone. I've tried the burrito, the pasta, and the sandwich, and I was happy with all of them. I usually get the chicken or the shrimp burrito, but last time I tried a bite of Mr. C's seared ahi tuna sandwich and I think I'm going to have to order that next time. Slight issues I've experienced, keeping me from giving it 5 stars: The tacos are not worth it - they use very little of the protein you order and the majority of the filling is the cabbage, and the tortillas are usually undercooked and soggy. Also, while their garlic fries are delicious, it seems that they put those up first and then cook the rest of your meal, so by the time your order is up, the fries have gotten cold and soggy. This isn't always the case, but it has happened to me more than once. Last time, I brought them my fries and asked for some fresher ones, and they replaced it with no problem. read more

I have had better seafood in Omaha! Outrageous prices, mediocre food, poor service; but hey it was on the water! Reminds me why I fled california years ago! read more

My wife and I came for dinner, we wanted a place on the water with a view. Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food. I had the fish of the day, which was Mahi Mahi, served with a stuffed pepper and an order of fries. I ordered the fish blackened and the pepper was stuffed with shrimp and polenta. At first I thought the fish portion was a bit small, but after finishing everything, I was completely satisfied. My wife ordered the fish cake and the bread bowl of New England clam chowder. Best chowder we ever had, and we're from the east coast! The fish cake was perfect. This was an unexpected surprise, we never thought a beach restaurant, which was reasonably priced, would have been so good. Can't wait to go back. read more

This is my new favorite spot! Everyone is always so friendly and helpful and the food is absolutely delicious. I haven't eaten downstairs yet, but upstairs the prices are reasonable, which is a big part of why I keep coming back. 5 stars :) read more

We drove up from L.A. to have lunch here on a weekend. We ordered our food, then looked for a place to sit. Here's the BIG problem, and it is 100% the MANAGEMENT problem and lack of respect for their other paying customers. They allow this. You have 15 + plus rocket riding motorcycle riders eating there. They're siting at the tables eating, however each one of them have their gear and helmets sitting on the stools & tables away from where they're eating along the wall, around the resturant. Each stool has one Bikers helmet, jacket, back pack. Times that by 15. So that's 15 chairs/eating spots for other paying customers who cannot sit down to eat. They see you looking around to sit down and know it, and couldn't give a shit. This is obvious a lack of respect on both sides (Rockett Riding Bikers & Management). When you see customers, families w/ their kids looking to sit down and cannot because of the inconsiderates and your Management says nothing and does nothing about it WOW. You cannot tell me your STAFF did not notice this, as they continuously clean the surrounding tables . We are spending money in your establishment, and this is what we get in return. Thank You! Your food was good, but not that good to put up with with B.S. and even if it was excellent I'll never come back. Maybe it's me, or maybe it's what the Marine Corps instilled in me. Have respect for others, treat everyone with respect, lead by example, show by example! It just told me they care more about making a dollar than taking care of basic needs and common courtesy for for their other paying customers! Outdoor seating is a bust because there is none. Upstairs menu is different or I should say limited than downstairs so they really do not appreciate bringing your food upstairs from downstairs to eat because it ties up their tables and the waiters won't make money. Obvious fix! read more

I have been coming here for years and enjoying one of the best clam chowders in Ventura, however tonight was a different story. Im not sure what has happened, Management, Chef or something has changed besides just the menu. The Clam Chowder used to be a 5 star and today i would give it a 2 star. I also usually get the seafood Mac and cheese and today it was also not nearly as good as it used to be. Please improve your food like it used to be. read more

go for the view NOT the food. curiosity got the best of us and we decided to try the food here. ordered fish and chips and burger. UGH!!! why is it so hard to eat out these days. first off the burger and fries were cold, sent fries back got fresh no biggie. should have sent the burger back too, for good! so the burger here is a puck of a patty. not juicy, not tasty not a speck of anything oozed out when I took a bite, and its 15$ will NOT go back and I live here. read more

5 stars for the food, we always have a great experience when we come here. It's a bit pricey which you can expect for fresh seafood. I took away 2 stars because of their bathroom situation which I would give 0-1 star for. We came here last night to enjoy some good food for my husbands birthday after a day spent on the beach and the bathroom situation was horrendous. There was a line for the women's bathroom which I stood in for about 5 minutes before realizing once I could see in that there was only 1 stall available and the one that was open was disgusting. There was a huge water/urine puddle in front of the toilet to which I turned around and decided no way! Most people are in sandals since you're at the beach, some were okay with splashing through to use the toilet but that's a big no thanks from me. Tried using the public restrooms outside the restaurant but those were even worse. I'm 9 months pregnant and not willing to stand in urine in flip flops or hover over a soaking wet dirty toilet to use the restroom. I realized the line to the inside bathroom was from all the people avoiding the public restrooms outside. They should really make their restrooms for customers only to avoid this issue. I ended up waiting until after my meal in hopes they would clean the one stall that was available but when I went back they had completely closed them off with a sign that said "out of order" so there were no restrooms that were usable what so ever. Having an hour or so drive to get home, a full term baby sitting on my very full bladder it became my mission to find another way. Ended up using a different public restroom at the parking garage. For such a popular restaurant they should at least keep up on having useable, clean restrooms. There are a lot of people enjoying alcohol at this location, I'm sure they needed somewhere to relieve themselves at some point as well. So while we enjoyed our tasty $100 meal (we splurged and ordered the good stuff! Surf and turf for the birthday boy and crab legs for me which we both loved!) it would have been nice to have a clean restroom to utilize even if I just wanted to wash my hands. Please fix your bathroom situation!!! I'm pretty sure it's a requirement to have restrooms available with such a large restaurant. It put a huge damper on our evening. For the price we paid it would have been nice to just have a clean/useable bathroom to use. read more

Just had lunch there & I had to Yelp about how great the food is! I had the house salad w/Halibut. They were very accommodating & made my salad w:romaine instead of the mixed greens. It was full of yummy goodness. The Red Wine vinaigrette was tasty & the crunchy garbanzos & quinoa made it very filling. My husband had the pasta w/tomato basil sauce & red snapper. Also great! We are inside by the window. You order at the counter & pick up your order when they buzz you. The food came quickly. I highly recommend The Beach House Fish! On Thursdays all day they have a special menu that's 25% off regular price. We plan on taking advantage of this deal! read more

The place is sitting on the Ventura Pier! Can't beat the view. I like to bring my DOG because you can sit outside or in... Make sure to ask for a water bowl for Fido! I have them Special Order some of the things on the menu. ( steamers) I'm a traditionalist and don't always care for some of the ways the food is prepared. ( doesn't mean it's bad ) Anyway.. I've been here many times and each visit had been wonderful. Don't forget to validate your parking! read more

The food was the bomb diggitty and the atmosphere very friendly. As for beautiful ladies that staff the place, I'm glad they were very knowledgeable about the menu! You don't find that everywhere. I loved the fact that we had a choice of table dining and walk up dining with both awesome view of the sunset! When you order, definitely order the full pound of snow crab and the shrimp Louie salad! read more

Eric Ericssons Fish Co - This was our view! - Seafood Near Me - Ventura, California

Update 9-11-18 : No value here. Staff was great as usual, but the shrimp were skimpy. Fries were good this time. I do not feel like I received value....maybe if I were a bird...on a diet. (old): AKA Eric Ericsson's (on the pier) Clam chowder was good, a little thinner than my previous visits. The fried Cod was killer, The fried Shrimp was the "best" I have ever had. Prices are quite fair...I got out cheap. lol lol Staff was the best Come in from the west and your parking is validated... Come in from the east and you pay $10 to park (state beach parking). read more

Taco Tuesday, or any night, Beach House Tacos is the best deal in town. With the great location right on the front of the pier, (not the end of the pier) it is good casual, tasty dining. IT is a favorite on our business trips. If staying at the Crowne Plaza, it is a short walk for dinner. The Ahi tacos are outstanding and recommended. We have tried all their tacos though, and all are just as tasty. Give their specialty drinks a try. Park in the parking structure if driving, and your ticket can be validated. read more

Simply awesome! FRESH seafood prepared amazingly. Flavors are vibrant and great location on the pier

Delicious food at very reasonable prices. I had the steamer bowl and it was just fantastic.

Last Saturday, March 16th I decided to stop at this place to get some lunch and enjoy the view. And I got absolutely nothing. That was a day when they were accepting only cash, because their WiFi was not working. My husband ordered "fish of the day". And I got a cup of clam chowder and a smoked salmon Caesar salad. We Waited for over 30 minutes and never got our food. When we asked a guy who was bringing food out, he told us he was sorry but that they lost our order but they would fix it fast. About 5 min later they brought us our order. Fork for my husband and nothing for me. When I asked for fork, I had to wait another 10 min. When I finally received a plastic fork, It had been almost an hour since we ordered. I went to take my first bite of the salad and I noticed hair on this piece of salmon. At this point I gave up. I walked over to the front and asked to see a manager. I explained to him everything. He listened and promised to give me a refund. He asked me to wait and he will find me in a minute. So I waited another 10 minutes. No one came over. I walked back to ask what is going on. He told me that he cannot give me refund. Because there is no WiFi. Really?! Why do you need WiFi to give me my 40$ cash back? Who can explain this to me? Instead he asked me for my name and my cell number. He promised me that he would call me and would give me my money back. I waited for 3 days. There was no call. You see that one star, it's all because I have to put something. If I had a chance I would give them 0 stars. Because I got no food and no customer service at that place. We were really disappointed, because this place has a great ambiance and has so much potential to be an awesome restaurant on the Ventura pier. read more

While staying nearby, we decided to walk to the pier for lunch. The Beach House has 2 different restaurants inside, one on the bottom and one on top. We ate on the bottom and ordered clam chowder in a bread bowl. The chowder was large and delicious!! read more

Today Sunday 7/1 my husband and I went to the bar upstairs to get a couple of margaritas. The young blond with tatoos told us she made a real good margaritas so we ordered them. The drinks were not good and when she came to our table to ask if we liked our drinks I told her no that they were to salty. Her attitude was well next time order sugar to go on the rim instead of salt. She never suggested remaking them she just walked off. She had a bad attitude and does not know how to act with customers who don't agree with her. We will not be coming back. When a person wants to relax and enjoy a drink it should be made to the customers likes, not what the bar tender thinks it should be. read more

Great place. The views can't be beat and the food was good. The ahi tacos were huge and fresh, fish and chips were on point and the deep fried cauliflower wasn't too greasy. Nice (albeit small) selection of beers. We got two and I told the bartender that she forgot to charge us for one but nope, $4 happy hour. Definitely, will be back. read more

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because this place isn't worth my time. Food was good but it doesn't make up for the crappy service.
