My friends and I came on a Sunday night and there was no line when we arrived (most likely because it was very cold). Since they only have outdoor seating, it's better to takeout on those days or come with a warm jacket. I ordered the fish plate and shared fries with a friend! The fish plate is well-balanced with the avocado, fresh salsa, slaw, rice, beans, and grilled fish. However, I had come with such high expectations because Hook Fish is touted as one of the best fish restaurants in the bay. The meal is good, but personally not my go-to with the price and specialty. Their sauce is unique in my opinion and pairs well with the food! I still enjoyed the meal, but I think it was overhyped and skewed my expectations. Next time, I would try their poke or tacos instead! read more

love Hook Fish, grabbed a fish burrito to go and it hit. the mango habanero is sooo good, sweet with a little kick. expect it to be busy tho, and parking can be kinda rough since it's in a residential area but worth it. read more

Can't recommend ordering online enough! This spot is always busy, but we decided to order the fish and chips online before heading over. By the time we arrived our food was ready and after a poor experience at the Mill Valley location I was very happy with my experience at the SF location. When I picked up the employee recommended I try the aioli and included it with my order. The fish was perfectly battered, fried, and the flaky salt on top was the cherry on top. I love fish and chips, but so many places forget to salt their fish. The fries were solid and we enjoyed trying all of the sauces. read more

Hook Fish - Fish and Chips - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

On what was surely San Francisco's hottest day of 2025 I found myself at Hook Fish where business was exploding. The line of folks snaking out the door, waiting to place orders, was exceeded only by the swarm of people waiting to receive their food. Tables - all al fresco - turn over regularly so what looked like it might be an impossible situation in which to sit and enjoy lunch proved not to be so. On this day, the sole problem was trying to dodge the sun, an unusual Sunset District issue to encounter. Hook Fish is no Mission District taqueria. They're a casual, fresh seafood restaurant featuring a Mexican-themed menu with some asides into other fish-centric dishes (e.g. Fish & Chips). Opting for an order of 2 fish tacos, I went with that day's seafood offering (it changes day to day but an additional charge can get you a different seafood than what is currently featured) and received open-face tacos mounded so high with ingredients that the sole way to consume them was with a knife and fork. The ingredients proved fresh and tasty, enhanced by adding some of the orange, homemade hot sauce that sits at each table. The offering - which I accompanied with a refreshing watermelon drink - was satisfying and filling with a good volume of fish and reminded me more of a good offering from Pacific Catch than anything I'd find in the Mission. If what you want is fresh seafood, reasonably priced, and topped by a whole lot of California-fresh ingredients Hook Fish is a worthy choice. But don't go expecting the sun I experienced; this is the Sunset, dress accordingly. read more

I did not have a great experience here the first time but I'm glad I gave this place another chance! The first time I came here, I waited for more than 45 minutes for a poke plate that I ordered in the store. There was barely anywhere to sit since it was so packed on a Saturday afternoon. Poke plate came with poke, rice, cabbage, radishes, pico, black beans, avocados and a side of aioli. At the time, it felt like the plate was mostly just unflavored black beans and cabbage and the poke was extremely fishy and mushy. Tried this place again and got the poke burrito, with no black beans. Ordered ahead online so it was ready by the time I came. It was delicious! The tortilla was perfectly toasted, and despite removing the beans, the burrito was still packed with fillings and was huge! The fish they used for the poke was ahi tuna and it was marinated in a rich sesame soy sauce. The veggies, poked and rice in the burrito just created the perfect balance of flavors. read more

A favorite of Nico Hiraga. Hook Fish Co. is absolutely worth the hype. At all times of day, you can expect a line worth standing in. That's just my nice way of saying you're about to wait 10 minutes for some of the best food in Ocean Beach. Located a few blocks away from the beach, it's a prime spot to grab lunch before catching the breeze. The poke is lightly seasoned, the flavor is carried heavily in the quality of the fish. The ambiance of the restaurant is PACKED. I've actually never been successful in getting a seat, but that's okay because the beach has enough benches. read more

"My fav burrito is at Hook Fish because I don't go to The Mission..." A VERY wild hot take from the former DA (he got roasted for it). But, so many people seem to love Hook Fish - I came in with high expectations after being on my list since they opened their brick and mortar in 2017 (they opened a Mill Valley location in 2019). Highly suggest coming here during off peak hours esp if you want to dine in. Even on a weekday at 1:45 pm, all the outdoor seating was taken. M E N U Specialty: Sustainable fish with several catches of the day. They're best known for their Fish & Chips but have crab cakes, salad, rice plates, tacos, burritos, and more. Beer and wine available. Order with the cashier and you're given a buzzer (ours didn't work). F O O D * Poke Plate w/ black beans, rice, slaw, pico, radish, avocado spicy aioli ($21) The tuna was sloppily cut with no uniformity, like they used dull scissors. Texture was mushy with some sinew. Served over undercooked black beans alongside dry rice (with some hard grains), soggy slaw, ripen avocado (w/ black spots), pico, and crisp radish. For the price, it's disappointing they're not doing QC. After a couple of bites, we tossed it. * Fish & Chips w/ housemade tartar sauce, seasoned fries (4 pc - $28) - Default: Rockfish, can pay upcharge for different fishes The flaky rockfish was hot and crunchy with a light, airy batter. Not large pieces so you may need 3+ for a full meal (generous portion of fries tho). Sadly, the fish and skin-on fries were marred by the heavy hand of salt. I only ate one piece and was very thirsty afterwards. My friend who usually uses a salt shaker at a resto even commented the fish & chips were hella salty. I liked the thick consistency of the tartar sauce and the sweet heat of their tableside habañero-carrot hot sauce (mildly spicy to me). S E R V I C E Customer service needs work. No greeting, just a stare when you say "Hi, how are you?" to the cashiers. One of them was rude to the customer after me. The lunch rush was dwindling down so food was ready in 10 minutes. A M B I A N C E Cute nautical themed shop with fish display, two parklets, and sidewalk tables. P A R K I N G Very difficult residential street parking. Overall, I'm glad I tried Hook Fish once. Maybe it was an off day but my hot take is the ratings may be inflated because there's not many options within walking distance from the beach. read more

It's okay but I definitely wouldn't wait in line. My friend and I ordered online and decided to take our order to eat at the beach. I got the poke plate and he got the grilled fish plate. The meal was tasty and satisfying and the portion size was good. However, with all the raving reviews, I didn't find it to be anything special. The fish was fresh but nothing really stood out. For the price, I rather go to a poke shop. read more

My perfect weekday on the hottest day of the year: hot yoga, sunset at ocean beach, and walk over to Hook Fish for a bite. I've heard many great things about Hook Fish and finally came by. Stood in line for 15 minutes and waited another 15 for the food to be ready. I was expecting a longer wait considering how everyone and their mom was here! I ordered the poke tacos and a friend ordered guacamole and chips and fish n chips. Poke was fresh af and the taco was soggy af but it doesn't matter when the poke is the star of the show. Guac was also incredibly fresh and delicious. But trust, the secret is in that aioli sauce. It's soooo good. There were no tables available so we sat at one of the planters and ate. Was I full on malasana pose (deep squat) while eating? Yes. No tables available so I did what I had to do, and the food was still delicious. This spot is super ideal after a sunny beach day because the vibes are there!! I'd say come prepared to wait if you are coming on a good weather day and definitely get that aioli sauce. read more

I had a previous review of 3 stars. I went to the business and tried again. This just confirms the 3-star review stands. Place was busy as expected. Sat outside without patio heaters as expected. The fish of the day is rockfish. It's a neutral fish that really doesn't have flavor of its own but instead, takes on flavor of the seasoning used to cook it. The fish and chips had a nice crisp ro it and the fries were crispy. Unfortunately, that is where the good ends as the fried fish was bland along with the unsalted and bland fries. So the table condiments were the stars as the malt vinegar was bland and missing it's tartness and tang. One just wonders how long this vinegar sat around. The fish and chip dinner was good with the habanero carrot hot sauce and ketchup eaten with fries. We also had the plate dinner with rockfish. It was grilled nicely but unfortunatley, I seasoned and bland as well. Again, the habanero carrot hot sauce was needed to consume the dish. As for the cooking, the rockfish for the fish and chips was a bit overcooked and had a mushy texture to it. The grilled fish was cooked OK but the rice was mushy (overcooked with too much water) and the black beans were a bit undercooked and a bit hard. So to summarize, some things haven't changed (long wait times, busy place, no patio heaters, under seasoned/bland food). Some things were good like presentation of food and crispyness if the friend foods. Some things need improvement. Kitchen management (overcooked, undercooked components of the dinner, under seasoning of food). And the really bad of this visit is poor kitchen management. Place ran out of chips during dinner rush. So no starters with chips. Ran out of crab cakes so only starter available was the oysters. Place also ran out of poke, and sandwiches and burgers (ran out of buns?) during dinner. read more

Food was absolutely amazing! Got the fish tacos, fish & chips, crab cakes and watermelon and pineapple mint drinks. Definitely recommend!!!!

Another Monday lunch date with my son and we've both been wanting to try their fish and chips. People at work talk highly of this place bc it's close to work and many live in the area or close by. We got there as soon as they opened and there was already a line. So I told him what I wanted and grabbed a seat at the parklet out front. You are by the ocean don't can get a bit cold. I can see it being awesome on a nice day in the city though. Plenty of seats outside, no indoor seating. The food came out piping hot. Nice flaky fresh fish with a nice batter. I love me some malt vinegar and they have it every table. Every was so nicely seasoned and fresh from the fryer. Definitely want to go back to try some of their other things but the fish and chips is tops! read more

Saw Hook Fish on Yelp. Wait in line to order and hopefully a seat is available me an hour later, when your order is ready. Casual outdoor dining. Inside and out we're kept clean by staff. Staff was friendly and advised those in line the wait time to receive food. Good was good but not exceptional. Enjoyed the fish & chips and ceviche the most. Mango Pineapple Agua Fresca didn't taste like much, Watermelon was better. Grilled fish and sides were just OK. The crabby cakes were tiny and was served on a huge bed of lettuce/salad with no dressing; not worth the price. Good, but not worth the hour wait. read more

Friday night and the place was packed! We arrived at 6 and the man taking our order said it was a 45 minute wait, which was fine for us. We grabbed some great beers (wine too) and stood outside with other patrons, waiting and watching for a table to open. We grabbed one and sat and enjoyed our beers. Our buzzer went off and we grabbed our meals-wonderful fried avocado burrito, a baked fish platter, a fried fish of the day burrito and chips with guacamole. The food portions were massive. Wonderful dining experience. read more

The more I try it, the more I appreciate Hook Fish. It really is some of the freshest seafood you can find and the portions are rather large. Although I'm still not too crazy for fish and chips, after trying other places around the city, this is the best you can get. But my favorite dishes are the red curry with salmon and the poke plate. The red curry is made like a Japanese curry with added thai red curry paste. Slightly coconutty and buffed with potatoes and carrots, it's such a comforting dish. It's a rotating soup though, so you might not find it all the time. The poke plate comes with two large scoops of tuna, rice, avocados, black beans, pico de gallo, and cabbage. It's super refreshing and I just feel healthier by eating it. The tuna chunks are large and perfectly seasoned in sesame oil and soy sauce. Of course I still drown my dish in half a bottle of their habanero carrot sauce, but that's just how I do it. Super close to the beach so it's in a great location for anyone looking to enjoy a moment in SF. read more

The fish and chips were delicious The batter is crispy and the fish tastes fresh, with just the right texture. Had the poke burrito first, the fish and chips next, surprisingly the fish was still nice and hot. The burrito was disappointing, tasted like two types of food (Latin and Hawaiian) randomly thrown together, a lump of raw tuna, rice, beans and tomatoes . There just wasn't enough flavor, the habernero sauce helped a bit. The fish was fresh although there could have been a little more , portion wise. Poke is usually flavorful, one doesn't expect it to be bland. At least they should offer siracha mayo or wasabi. Otherwise it tastes like a sad burrito that's slightly Hawaiian but not really. There's outside seating on the parklet in front of the restaurant. If I returned, I'd just go for the fish and chips. At nearly 70 bucks for lunch and drinks the value wasn't there because only the fish and chips were worth eating. read more

Overall: D // 2 stars I genuinely do not understand what's all the buzz around this place. The term "hole-in-the-wall" is usually used to describe "hidden gems" that are bring sensation for your buck. I found their fish to be quite mediocre and menu to be quite uninspiring, despite it being a restaurant literally being a hole-in-the-wall, which actually has a lot of drawbacks such as limited seating and not short wait times. The place is close enough to watch the sunset, but is quite far away from the beach, so that vibe is really independent of the restaurant location besides it being in the general SF sunset area.

This is a great seafood spot in the Outer Sunset, right by the beach! Be prepared for a wait, though, because we came outside of normal meal times and there was still a long line. They have a great selection of options. We went with the fish tacos and a burrito. The burrito had a little too much rice, which blanketed the other ingredients, but the fish tacos were unreal! I'd love to try the original location in Marin, which I hear is even better and offers a larger variety. read more

Love this place for its fresh poke and good fish and chips! I've often come here on a weekend evening, when it's been crowded, but the tables were just as filled this past Tuesday afternoon. My friends and I ordered their poke & chips starter, poke burrito with rice, and grilled fish of the day burrito (which was petrale sole). Our full order was ready within 10 minutes, and I appreciate them being quick during our short lunch break. There's normal & to-go water cups available too. The chips were crunchy and fresh, and although the poke today was not my favorite, I enjoyed the seasoning and how it complemented either the chips or rice well. The fish was delicious, and the portion sizes were enough for a meal along with it being a reasonable cost. Would highly recommend this place for poke in SF! read more

Opportunity presented itself as my colleague and I wanted to try this place as we had heard from friends how great this was with my son having been to their Mill Valley location. Arriving after 1 pm, I got the lay of the land regarding the menu and how to order. Spotting a bench table we each had the fish of the day with some nachos and chips as well as a side of pico de gallo. Overall, I actually liked the Petrale sole even though I was unsure of how it would taste as I normally would not order a blackened fish filet. Loved the purple shredded cabbage as well as the yellow pieces of pepperoncini peppers. 4+ solid stars with a slight deduction as I felt the chips and pico de gallo were just average. Definitely would come back on a sunny day. read more

If i could eat here once a week, I would. I've lived in SF for a couple years but haven't been here yet because it always seemed packed. Yes, it was packed but it was still worth the wait. We came on a sunday around 2pm, waited ~10-15 minutes to order, then got our food in maybe ~35-40 minutes. Theres all those outdoor seating areas, but we weren't able to snag one because it was so busy. No worries, we just stood and ate our food no problem. The sun was shining and everyone seemed to be out with family/ friends and enjoying the weather and the food. The tacos were delicious, made even better by that red sauce. It felt enough for one person and I'd want to come try their other options. We also got some oysters! So fresh and tasty, came with a nice migeonette. read more

Some of the best fish and chips I've ever tried! Batter was super light and crispy, and complemented the most tender, flaky fish incredibly well. Make sure to add a dab of tartar sauce to each bite as well. Nothing too notable about the fries, though there were plenty of them. It took over an hour for our food to be ready (we went on a weekend), but it was well worth it! Definitely get your food to-go and walk over to Ocean Beach for the whole experience to be even better read more

Hook Fish - Fish and chips - Seafood Near Me - San Francisco, California

I almost only come here when a friend is in-town. Views are great, vibes are good in the outdoor parklet, and their fish tacos and fries are to die for. The accompanying sauce isn't overwhelming or overpowering. They give you hearty portions of fresh fish and the flavors are complex and unique yet also familiar and comforting. Service is friendly and kind. There may be a line but it moves fast. The customers are also nice--have had the table next to us share their leftover fries when they had to leave! I keep coming back for a reason and that reason is because Hook Fish is a Sunset treasure. It's accessible by public transit and bike. They also have a more spacious location in the North Bay! read more

Hook Fish is one my go-to restaurants for fresh grilled fish, poke, or fish and chips. It's not easy to find a good poke place in San Francisco, but the poke here is really fresh and you can get it as an appetizer with chips or a plate. The only downside is that they only have one type of Poke - tuna and served only one way. For those who have been to Hawaii can attest, you can get poke with different types of fish - tuna, salmon, etc. or served differently like traditional or spicy, etc. but Hook Fish poke is served with tuna and in a soy and sesame oil mix. I also enjoy the grilled fish which is often rock fish though you can pick some other fish as well. If you pick this over a bed of salad, the toppings include a mix of seeds that give it a nice crunch and texture. A lot of people like to order the fish and chips here and I can see why. You can pick from two or three large pieces of fish which are cooked perfectly with nice crunch on outside but flaky on inside. The fries are also pretty good and generous portion. The place has no inside seating so you can find a spot outside of the restaurant or takeout. If you are eating outside, dress warm since it's usually chilly in Sunset! read more

Have you even been to SF if you haven't been to Hook Fish? This place is a classic for a reason. Close to Ocean Beach, there's almost always a line for the delicious daily fish burritos, tacos, plates. I love love the fish and chips - the perfect amount of breading, a lot of juicy fish, still has a bit of crisp in the bite. All their fish is just so juicy, and I like to get different fish tacos when I'm here -- the sauce and salsa on it tastes really fresh and tangy. There's usually minimal wait if you go for early dinner on a weekday (especially if it's not a gorgeous sunny day) but I've also been in this line for 1.5 hours before on busier days so... it can be a time sink. There's an outdoor seating area but it often gets crowded when the line's long. But it's one of the few institutions in SF that kind of feels worth the wait. read more

Hook Fish has been on the bookmarks for awhile and gave it a try on a Sunday afternoon. The wait at noon wasn't bad when was there but a line quickly developed. Grab a menu where the door is and order at the counter. Many different ways to have your fish. I got the plate $19 with fish of the day which was rockfish. The plate was great and rockfish was seasoned well. Super fresh. No indoor seating only outdoor. During peak times, hard to snag a table. Street parking only. read more

I was initially skeptical of trying to beat the long lines here at dinner time, but these were by far the best fish and chips I've had, and well worth every minute of waiting! I was especially impressed with the generous portions and great texture (crispy but not overly so, and not too oily). The sweet, fruity ceviche and chips provided a nice accompaniment to the fish and chips. We expected a long wait for the food, but the staff kept the line moving and orders coming smoothly. There was also a great outdoor seating area (just not quite enough for everyone in line!). read more

Waited around an hour for the food after ordering (which there was also a line for), but this was one of the BEST poke dishes I've ever had. The fish was incredibly fresh and the texture was not chewy at all. The restaurant was extremely crowded both indoors and outdoors and we took our food to eat at a nearby park instead of being cramped on one of the benches outdoors, which I'd recommend. I also tried some of the fish and chips and really liked how light the batter layer was, and how soft the fish itself was-may be the best fried fish I've ever had. read more

The three star surprised me even. It's not bad but it's not worth the wait for me personally. especially the sunset location. make the drive to Marin something about waiting in sunshine with a beer in hand makes waiting a non issue. Fish tacos should be enjoyed in sunshine. sorry and much love to the sunset but it's the truth. The fish itself is fresh and cooked well. I think it's needs a little bit of seasoning but again that's preference because the fish is so nice they prob keep it simple. the sauce they service with the grilled fish is yummy. I've gotten this when i've gone to the marin and sunset location but the ceviche is my most favorite. so damn good. i legit get a spoon and sip on the lime juice fishy broth. fire. I got the cider even though I was a little cold. and it warmed me up. #asianglow. read more

When the weather is nice be prepared to wait 20 minutes to order and another hour for the food to come out. That said, staff is lovely and not frazzled despite how busy they get. Fish tacos get soggy and become impossible to eat. There has to be a better quality tortilla or something to prevent them from getting so soggy. Don't plan on traveling with them. The better option is the fish plate where you get more fish and is easier to eat. The pozole is also delicious with a complementary spice to the lime. Although we didn't get it this time, the poke and chips are delicious and you can smell the sesame oil immediately. As long as you go knowing you are going to wait you will enjoy the experience, the sunshine, and people watching. read more

i'm always a sucker for hook fish when it comes to their fish & chips. it's best to come during off-peak hours if you can or else, you'll be waiting in line. i always see families gathering around the outdoor seating and patio area. personally, i'll walk over to ocean beach and eat there for a greater view. it's not too long of wait, i'd say 15 minutes max when it's not packed but you could wait more than 30 minutes if it is. i got the two peice fish & chips ($19 w/o tax) and the cut of fish is huge. well worth the price if i'd say. crisp beer battered exterior and a soft tender fish inside. DELICIOUS!! read more

I heard a lot about this place and I finally got to try it this summer. There's only outdoor seating so either grab it to-go or bare eating this with Karl the fog. Since it was my first time here I wanted to try everything. But I knowing me, that would be impossible so I did the kids eal option. I did the fish and chips and the fish Taco. The portions were perfect for me as I was able to finish both . If I had to pick between the two I'll do the fish and chips. The fish was so tender it was falling apart and for a kids meal they gave me good amount of fries. The fries where more in the crispy end, so if you like it extra crispy you'll love it. As for the fish burrito, I found this so so. It was more ok the dry side the the beans where hard. I'm not sure if they didn't cook it enough or if it's how it was supposed to be . Next time I'll grab to go for just the fish and chips read more

Great seafood restaurant serving delicious tacos, burritos, poke, fish n chips, and so much more! Their food is super fresh and each dish is made beautifully with harmonious toppings. I got the poke bowl and loved the combination of fresh fish, beans, vegetables, and more. Also got to try the fish tacos, which had fish that was battered perfectly and paired great with their hot sauce. The reason why I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because of its incredibly long wait time. I came on a Saturday at around 2:30pm and had to wait until 3:40pm to get my food. I only ordered a poke bowl and a fish tacos for takeout too (this doesn't account for wait time to find a seat) so I'm not sure if this spot is worth waiting THAT long for. I think it's perhaps a good spot to check out on weekdays or not during peak hours. I would still recommend this spot, but do keep the idea of a possible long wait in mind! read more

I've passed by this place many times and wondered about it. Wife said lets go to try their fish and chips which they are known for. Located "way out" near ocean beach in the Sunset Neighborhood District. Small store front with a pickup window. You go inside to place your order and get the buzzer. No seating inside but a good sized outside parklet seating / table area. It was busy so it took a little while to get our food but not bad at all. They have a decent menu of "fish related" items from fish n chips to tacos, burritos, salad and sandwiches. We had the 3pcs fish and chips. OH man so good! light, flaky fish and crisp battered crust. You have to have with the vinegar! The seasoned fries surprised me... salty but super flavorful. Saw other folks with tacos, plate meals or Ceviche n chips which all looked great too. There's a menu of alcoholic beverages and wine too. had a great meal and will be back to try some other menu items read more

Given the amount of positive reviews and how nice the weather was in SF, I decided to visit Hook Fish with my long time friend. We visited on a Tuesday night at around 5pm. When you get there, you do not need to write your name down on a waitlist, you can just go to order your food and then seat yourself wherever there is room. Unfortunately, we had to wait about 2 hours for our food, however this was expected as there was a huge line out the door. We ordered the fish and chips with the housemade tartar sauce and aioli. The battered fish was really crispy and fresh! However, it did get a bit heavy after eating one piece, so I'd recommend asking for more lemons to squeeze on it, or dipping it in their sauces. The fries were also really good as they were well seasoned. Overall, I thought that the fish and chips were fried to perfection, however I do feel like the fish was lacking a bit of flavor as it wasn't as seasoned. read more

Tried out Hook Fish and got the three-piece fish & chips along with a pineapple mint fresco. Gotta say, the fish was nice and crunchy with a decent beer batter. Not the best fish & chips I've ever had, but definitely not the worst either. It was a little greasier than I'd like, but nothing that would keep me from coming back for more. Now, they gave me the usual tartar sauce, but also this carrot habanero hot sauce--bright orange, a little spicy, and really good. I actually mixed the two together and used that on the fish... worked out surprisingly well. The pineapple mint drink was light and refreshing--helped balance out the fried food. All in all, Hook Fish is a solid spot for fish & chips, and I'd go back without hesitation. Bonus points for the house-made sauces--they've got some personality. I enjoyed the sidewalk seating. It was pleasant. read more

The service is good. The ambience is fun and hip. It's always crowded, but like I said, the parking is abysmal. read more
