My wife saw a review for Flying Fish on TikTok, and as such our visit here immediately became a top priority. Craving oysters (when did we become these people?!), we stopped in for lunch, ordered a half dozen (and later, another half dozen), plus the Rockfish and Chips, and the Hot and Crispy Fish Sando. Everything was enjoyable: the sando was reminiscent of an upscale Fish Filet (I mean that in a positive way) with a tiny bit of heat; the Rockfish were fried in a salt-and-pepper-y seasoned batter that paired well; and the oysters, of course, were a particular highlight, as previously mentioned, since a second set was ordered to finish off the meal. The only disappointing thing about the whole meal was a rather uninspired spicy Bloody Mary, which didn't really do much for me, sadly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was friendly and attentive, and the covered outdoor dining area was spacious, well-lit, and warm enough to be welcoming and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also a secondary covered and fenced dining patio that is dog-friendly, which is another perk![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And lastly, the market and bar inside boasts a heaping helping of fresh fish finery coming in many forms: fresh, frozen, 'frigerated, filleted and fried, either served over the counter, or available to-go. Lots of smoked salmon options as well! Very cool place, and one that my wife in particular has fallen in love with. We'll definitely be returning, likely for dinner next time, to see if the menu is expanded with additional options such as scallops, swordfish, steelhead and other seasonal selections. read more

Just stopped in for a quick drink and some oysters. Figured a fish place would make a good lemonade and I was right. The Italian 22 cocktail was great, too. Enjoyed our half dozen happy hour oysters. Left happy as a clam (lol). read more

One of the best spots for lunch in NE Portland. We like to order the rockfish and chips along with a bowl of the outstanding clam chowder. The fish is really tasty -- fresh and expertly prepared. Can't overlook the chowder, which is scrape the bottom of the bowl worthy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio can be crowded but be patient waiting for a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Polite and reasonably prompt service.

We had a great time here! We came without any reservations. We were able to get a table but had to wait 20 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff directed us to the bar next door, where we ordered drinks and oysters. The bar was tented and had fans and high tables. It was a little hot but we weren't sitting there for too long.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were super chill and friendly. Our oysters and drinks took as long to come to us as our table wait time. But, that is because servers waited to serve everyone in the bar area at the same time. That decision didn't make any sense to me but we brought our oysters and drinks to our table and moved on! I ordered the farmhouse salad with grilled steelhead. It was so delicious! I chose the buttermilk dressing and have no regrets. There were so many yummy vegetables included in the salad. I also loved the crunchy dried chickpeas and other crunchy beans added so texture variety. The salad was umami, guys! I would definitely come back here. My only comment and why I left off a star,m was because of their fried fish sandwich. My husband ordered that sandwich and it was terrible. He couldn't finish it and we refused to help him after tasting it. The fish sandwich was more of a patty and I think McDonald's fish fillet tastes better. Our kids ordered fish and chips and they were served real fried fish. I wish my husbands sandwich also had real fried fish instead of a frozen or premade fish cake burger sandwich. read more

Had the pleasure of having lunch here yesterday. We arrived and placed our order at the hostess stand. The ordering process felt rushed because as we were checking out the menu, there was a line forming behind us. After placing our order, we were given a table number for a table to sit at under the covered patio. I wasn't fond of the whole setup, but I proceeded to find our table and get some water, which was in a bucket that had a spigot. I ordered the 3-piece Fish and Chips, the Clam Chowder, 1/2 dozen local oysters, and 1/2 dozen imported oysters. I didn't like the Fish and Chips. The Fish tasted super bland and so did the tartar sauce it came with. The Clam Chowder was bland, but tasted good with the addition of salt and pepper. The Oysters were delicious and the imported 1/2 dozen was my favorite. All of my food tasted fresh. All of the staff were friendly and nice. Our food came out quickly. I'd definitely return for some Clam Chowder and Oysters. read more

Great chowder here! I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of their seafood. The cocktails were made well. It's counter service and seating is outside but they have it well heated and insulated. We came on a chilly night and there was no problem keeping warm. Inside is a fish market which had a great selection of fresh seafood. Service was fantastic and attentive but you do get your own water and bus your own table. I enjoyed the crab cakes and scallop special (Winterwaters special). Good flavor, not bland at all. I will be back to try their fish and chips soon! read more

This was in the top two meals we had while in Portland. The fried rockfish was very hot, crispy, buttery and fresh. You can tell the fish is high quality. The chips and fish tacos were equally delicious and full of flavor. Their tartar sauce and vinegar have a uniqueness that you can tell is homemade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor audience with the tables and heated lamps was cozy as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Low key, but well done. In my opinion, this is the best fish & chips you can get in Portland. read more

Flying Fish is back and better than ever!!! Today is the opening of the new market & restaurant format and it is awesome. We had the fish and chips ($15) and side salad ($6) and both were great. Arguably the best Fish and Chips in PDX. The freshness of the fish really shines. It was cooked perfectly and I loved the light crisp batter. We were the first restaurant customers and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The owner Lyf and the staff are just so nice. Flying Fish is the best casual, mid-priced seafood restaurant in Portland. It started as a Portland Food Truck in 2010 and is a remarkable story of success. This place already had a "cult like" following and the new restaurant is going to be very successful. For me, this is the real PDX dining experience. It's outdoor dog friendly and has a small parking lot. What more could you want? Check it out. read more

Wow. Great customer service, excellent shucking and really chill vibe. Family owned and passed down generations. It's separate from the market but inside the same area. If you like oysters you should definitely check this place out; big selection and knowledgeable staff. We also had salmon poke with Juanita's chips and it was super fresh and tasty. read more

Super delicious and lovely experience here! We popped in to grab oysters and ended up ordering half the menu. There is outdoor seating, in on a Friday around 1pm the wait was 15 min - you can order a drink and enjoy it while you wait, so for me this was no big deal. Once you're called, you order your food then sit down. We got the tacos (fresh and light, creamy but not salsa), the poke (MUST get, fresh and excellent), oysters (duh) and the Caesar salad (if you're a Caesar fan do it - legit anchovies involved). The servers were super friendly and patient. I would absolutely come here again, a little wait is worth it and the food is very reasonably priced for the high quality and delicious fresh flavors you get! read more

Very sub par experience. We ordered a dozen oysters, salmon crudo and clam chowder. One thing about me- I love oysters. Give me some sauce and oysters and I'm a happy gal... but.. the oysters here really turned me off for probably a good while. It did not taste fresh and we probably left a good 5-6 oysters on the table as we did not want it. We were served once and did not have anyone check in on us within the hour and a half that we were there. They also charge a service or insurance charge for their employees. I don't mind the extra charge but for the service that we received.. it makes no sense. We paid $90 before tip for these three items with no service. We noticed a table get sat after us and they received prompt service multiple times and they were check in on regularly. I don't think it was a race issue but they were white (majority of people in establishment were white) and we are younger Asians so maybe they thought we would not tip? We like to tip well for good service and even regardless we still tipped 15% despite our experience. Overall the crudo was ok and the clam chowder - you could def find better but also not bad. I just think there's a lot of other spots in Portland that serves fresh oysters with at least decent service. read more

Food was delicious! We started with the fresh oysters which were superb! Then I had the fish plate and the salmon was perfectly seasoned and so flavorful! Our server was super kind and helpful and the food came out quickly. read more

We came craving and hoping to try local oysters...unfortunately their oyster bar was not open the day we were there. Got the Spicy Poke and it definitely had a nice spicy kick to it. They have a cute outdoor setup. And the inside of the store was nicely stocked. If I was local, I would probably end up shopping here a lot. read more

I have worked in the service industry for many years, and don't leave yelp reviews. However, the service I got here on 12/23/23 was so wonderful I wanted to say thank you and show support for this local business. I came in wanting to eat oysters, due to the holidays, the bar was closed..but the market was still open. The guy selling the oysters was incredible and super helpful. Walked me through how to shuck an oyster, was thoughtful and funny .. which was very reassuring.. seeing as my craving was going to have me handle a knife I've never used before. I got home with a dozen oysters, and was able to successfully shuck them and enjoy.. without a trip to the ER or a scratch on me. So not only did I get incredible seafood.. I also learned a new skill. I cannot say thank you enough. read more

Went here last week on a Tuesday around 6 pm There was about an hour wait for a table for 2 (although visibly open tables...perhaps understaffed?) The oysters were great but they only had 4 types that day (was expecting better selection at an oyster centered restaurant), service was slow, wine was in plastic cups and the steelhead and tuna were over cooked - also strange for a seafood restaurant We ordered two salads and 12 oysters and scallops (delicious) Unfortunately had been looking forward to coming here for quite some time and left disappointed. read more

Came here and got a dozen shucked oysters, some clam chowder, and jojo fries. The oysters were absolutely delicious!!! And at the price of $3.50 each they should be. Super fresh, great variations. It came with this vinegar sauce that was really good, I think they could a little more onions to it tho. But still great. Nothing amazing about the jojo fries. Clam chowder is good! Thick and creamy, great toppings. Had a few chunks of clam. I would most def come back for the oysters. Wish they had rockafeller oysters too! read more

So many delicious varieties of oysters! This little oyster bar is inside Providore, a bougie grocery store on NE 24th and Sandy. The counter has I believe 9 seats, and usually about ten or so oyster options, as well as a few bottles of wine, and a few fresh fish, uncooked appetizers like ceviche or poke. It's a great place to for a glass of wine or beer and a few oysters before dinner in the neighborhood, which we often do. We always share a half dozen of the chef's choice. I love watching them shuck, as they do it so well. You definitely won't need a fork to ensure that little guy is separated from the shell as it always is. The folks doing the shucking are so friendly, and you get nice and cozy next to the people around you. I've sat for 30-40 minutes and enjoyed myself, and I've also just come for a quick oyster slurp on the go. Whatever your preference, if your a fan of oysters, or just oyster curious, come here! This place is an example of simplicity at its best. read more

This is a must for a Portland experience. Found them on a whim on yelp, and we are so glad we did. We made it at 7:35 just before closing time at 8pm.

We absolutely will be coming back whenever we are in the area. A true hidden in plain sight gem!!! read more

Food was alright. Oysters were fresh and great. However, horrible service. Didn't bother to check up on us once, failed to attend to customers, and were extremely slow. We were waiting 20+ minutes just for a server to check in on us... when they finally did, we had already finished our meal 15 min ago. I would have ordered another drink if they did check up. It was not busy AT ALL and still no attention to customers.... I saw multiple customers have to flag the server down to order dish or drink. I don't know if they hired people that don't have any experience FOH or if customer service doesn't matter to this place. I will not come here again just because customer service was horrible. read more

Generally speaking I like this place however last night I ate the worst meal. The smoked salmon plate looks good on paper but omg, it was awful. I can't even begin to describe how bad it was. I've had other stuff there but for the love of god don't order that. Disgusting. read more

Oysters were quite pricey but delicious. However it would've been nice to have shaved ice on the bottom to keep the oysters cool and fresh since we did have a dozen of them. The albacore tuna poke was fresh but the sauce was a bit too salty and nothing to write home about. The two appetizers with 2 draft beers were $76 with the tip. Really pricey. Not really worth a second visit for us. read more

Love the tiny bar, serving only oysters and a daily ceviche! So if you want oyster fix, this is the place! Other than that nope! You can get the wine by the glass at the wine shop inside this gourmet store! Check in with yelp you get 50 cents off! So fresh, so good, and friendly service! We let the owner too and he's super cool. Can't wait to check out their new opening restaurant soon! read more

Best oysters in Portland! Pricey? Yes. But worth it. The new location on Burnside is dope - went there for the first time a few days ago... totally different vibe than the old location when they were inside of Providore Fine Foods, a.k.a. "Hoity Toity Central." The new location has more of the vibe of an upscale crab-shack that you might find in a coastal town. Staff is always friendly, and the place was hoppin'! I have a feeling they're gonna do great at this new location. In short, if you're looking for a dozen (or more) of the best shucked oysters in PDX, this is the place to go. Why are you still here?? Go get some oysters! read more
