The food here was awesome, fresh and cooked very well. The presentation was great, the service was amazing, the people were super friendly, and helpful. Would definitely come back here and recommend to all my family and friends. read more

Kinda disappointing...My salmon was dry. Nice being near the water. The staff was friendly.

Agree with the other reviews, the fish and chips here are fantastic! I'm pretty picky about them too. I had halibut also the chowder, which was just ok but it's not really my thing. The fish was fresh and crispy and so were the fries. Nice view outside on the pier, but if there were ever any outdoor tables on the dock, they've unfortunately been removed. It is a little on the pricey side, but worth it. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town. read more

Port Fairhaven Fish & Chips - Halibut and chips, chowder - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Really good anytime you're in Bellingham. Stop here. Try the halibut locations a little hard to find but very nice being on the water.

Solid three. French fries are salty crispy and delicious. The fish was average. The batter was nice and light but the fish fairly chewy as if it had been frozen. It was disappointing for sure but it is what one might expect at a cruise terminal. The portions were solid and filling. I would recommend for fast easy access to PNW fish and chips but if you have time and transportation I would recommend elsewhere for a much better fish and chips experience. If you are not a fish and chips connoisseur this will be just fine! read more

Tasty, crispy and light fish and chips conveniently located in the Fairhaven Ferry Terminal. I found the portions to be fair. I had the two piece Halibut and chips, my husband had the 3 piece Halibut and chips. My son had the larger Captains Platter. We all felt satisfied but not overly full. The amazing thing is no grease whatsoever. Friendly service, order at the counter and they deliver to your table. read more

Definitely some of the better fish and chips in the area. Seasoned fries. Prompt service. If you're looking for a delicious quick bite, it's worth the stop! read more

Excellent fish and chips with gorgeous outdoor seating (in nice weather). But be ready for long waits and somewhat clueless young staffers who aren't always on top of the orders. Prices a little high for what you get. read more

Love that you can eat outside right on the water (picnic tables). Had the halibut basket....amazing! Even the slaw and fries were perfect!! Draft IPA was an added bonus! My husband said this place could be "halibut"-forming! read more

They have good food, but prices are just way too high for what you get. I've felt underwhelmed each time I've eaten here. You can get the same quality fish and chips, as well as their other offerings, elsewhere without breaking the bank. read more

Flaky tender cod inside, crunchy light batter outside with house made tartar sauce with fresh dill and lemons. What is not to like. The cole slaw was even delicious. read more

Loved this restaurant!! Clam chowder is home made and delish!! Will definitely go again!

This was our first stop when we arrived in Washington State. Halibut and chips are outstanding!! It was busy that day and we had about a 20 minute wait. SO worth it! Ate outside and enjoyed the view. This is located inside the ferry building so don't be thrown off by the location. Find it and eat there. Your heart will be so happy! read more

Wow! We savored our favorite fish while seated right on the edge of the port and all it's glories! Boats, ferries, fishermen, waves clapping on the pier while Seagulls flew overhead. A perfect setting. To top it off we watched a magnificent sunset over the bay. I ordered the Salmon Caesar salad which was very fresh and tasty. My partner had the halibut and chips with a glass of fine wine. Very reasonable prices. Easy self service from a varied menu. Nice place for a family or date night. read more

This place was delicious! The fish was flaky on the inside and crispy on the outside. The french fries were fresh and delicious. My daughter enjoyed her meal and my son-in-law said it's the best fish and chips he's ever had. Even my 3 year old granddaughter enjoyed her meal! Wonderful staff too, the woman who we spoke to was delightful and helpful. We'll be back! read more

This is a clean, casual restaurant located with a water view on the dock. It's actually in the Ferry terminal building. The seafood selections are great. We recommend the Haddock combo. The fish is fresh and delicious! The service is friendly and efficient. read more

Port Fairhaven Fish & Chips - Nice ambiance overlooking the ferry and docks. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

We were craving fish & chips and thought we would give this a try. I guess I am spoiled my husband is from Ireland and there really is no better fish & chips places but there. Fish and chips were a bit soggy and not crispy at all. read more

Beer battered fish was great! I split the Caesar salad and a 3 piece and was very pleased!!

We had cod and chips with family outside in the sunshine. Their food is good and fish is crisp and fresh . We haven't been there for a while, and I now remember that it was good last time. We won't wait so long to return. I'll take the advice from some other reviews and try the halibut next time. read more

Very yummy cod! Fair portion, not on the huge side but delicious. The seating area is nice too.

This is truly legit. I fancy myself a fish and chips connoisseur and they did not disappoint! There were 4 of us and we shared multiple items. Fish and chips were amazing, prawns, shrimp and chowder. Everything was fantastic. The chowder was also good but could of used a little more flavor. But only minor complaint! The food was warm, beer was cold and we sat on the picnic benches outside. Would definitely come again. read more

The fish was delicious and definitely worth the price and Fairhaven is great place just south of Bellingham WA.

The fish and chips used to be "great", but now they have changed how they cook them. The batter is now on the real chrispy burnt side. We have enjoyed your fish and chips for a long time but now after 4 repeat bad visits we are going to other establishments. We know of multiple other couples that have also changed. read more

The food was amazing. One of the best fish and chips I ever had. Also had the clam strips...delicious. The cold slaw..everything was great. I'd make this a repeat event if I lived here. read more

This place was really fun when we visited Bellingham. The food was good fresh the people working there were super nice and awesome, and there was a cafeteria area nearby where we could sit at table and look out over the water. And there was a group of people singles meeting up that morning by coincidence so it was cool to see that it is a community centerpiece. read more

Fantastic! Not a huge fry fan, but oh my. The fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and piping hot. I ate every single one of them. The slaw was fab, the halibut perfect and the tartar sauce divine. I've only had better fish and chips in England. read more

It kind of hard to find but the food was good and enjoyed the clam chowder. Will definitely eat here again when in Washington.

We made a point of stopping here because we wanted good fish and chips in a casual setting. The fish and chips were delicious! The added benefit of being waterside and being able to sit inside or out are definitely a plus as well. Staff was friendly and attentive. We'll be back again for sure. read more

A little gem of a place! The food is always good and cooked perfectly and the staff is friendly! Love this spot! And the views are a nice touch as well! read more

This is a hidden gem in a ferry terminal. Although the salmon for the salad was smaller than expected, the halibut and chips were spot on. We're assuming the current economic situation of 2022 has something to do with the size of the salmon. My wife and I got a sample of the crab bisque and clam chowder, and went for the clam chowder. There's indoor and outdoor seating. As we had our dog with us, outdoor seating was much appreciated. This place was so good I took my parents the very next day! read more

Port Fairhaven Fish & Chips - 3-piece halibut and chips, grilled salmon salad, clam chowder - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Stopped by for a quick bite on the way from Anacortes to Downtown Bellingham. Well, unfortunately it was not a quick bite. We were told by the guy that took our order that they would bring the food outside to us when it was ready. We were enjoying the scenery outside and realized it had been a while since we ordered...40 min to be exact. I went in to inquire about our order, and they had said it went out. Nope. I'm still here without my order. It wasn't super busy, but there was 1-2 larger groups that ordered before us so I just thought they were short staffed and/or trying to get those orders out. They rushed our order right away and gave us complimentary soups on the house which were amazing! When I'm in the area again, I look forward to returning. read more

A fun location, quick, tasty and overall good. A little greasy and could have been served hotter.

Good fish and shrimp. Very expensive for a family of 4 on a budget. Portions could be larger.

Went here twice, 2nd time with a friend. Both times the fish was over cooked. Friend's was as well. The kitchen is so small and this is all they do, why would it be over cooked? The fish is breaded, not battered...though battered fish is even more touchy to being overcooked, so maybe that's by plan. On a personal note, not a fan of shoestring fries. They don't hold the heat, if you don't eat them right away, they go cold very fast. They give free refills on fountain drinks (don't know how many times), and the person taking the orders was nice enough. If you don't live in Fairhaven this place is a bit of a trip from anywhere else in town especially since the fish isn't well prepared. I would advise people go elsewhere. read more

Just okay. View was great, but food took awhile and was bland. Our cod was over cooked and had to wait 40 minutes for two adult fish and chips and two kids chicken strip meals. The tarter was good! read more

Good fish, but if you're looking for a quick meal, skip this place. Close to a 45 minute wait with many tables empty. As far as ambiance.......lacking for sure read more

Just discovered this place tonight, and it's great! Best fries I've had in a while, and the fish is very tasty and delicious. Service is excellent, as is the setting. I will be coming here again. read more

Ordered the cod and chips. Fair price for what I ordered. I usually don't care for tarter sauce, but theirs was savory with fresh dill, I enjoyed it. Waterfront view was great too. Young woman who took our order was pleasant and our food arrived pretty quick. Enjoyed our lunch. read more

The food is always great, and we come here often. The kitchen is at the mercy of the fryer capacity, so sometimes they are backed up at peak times. Don't worry- it's worth the wait! read more

Excellent fish and chips! We loved sitting outside and watching the ocean. The employees were super friendly and the food was great! Highly recommend! read more
