Service was great. Fish and calamari were great. Shrimp was good. Chicken was pretty below average to me, just strips you'd get from a drive thru or gas station. Hush puppies were great. Fried pickles were great but holy cow the serving size was beyond necessary. I know it's a weird complaint to make but I think they could cut it down from 12 spears to 8, knock a dollar or two off the $10 price and come away with a bit better profit to product ratio. Will definitely be back at some point. read more

This is one of my go to places but not after the soggy fish they just served me didn't even eat it so it cost me 11.99 for some fries I will not be returning here read more

I loved it the first time we went -nice dining area, families. The fish was great. The second time we went our fish was not completely done so you know I don't think I'll be coming back. If the oils too hot the batter gets done on the outside but the fish is not finished completely on the inside. I'm sure you can work on that and maybe it was just a one off. read more

The worst fish and chips I have ever been served. The menu price on Yelp is $12.49 for 1pc fish and 4 prawns. We were charged $19.49 when we picked up our Togo order. When I tried to eat the fish, there was so little fish I opened up the fried piece and it was mostly breading with a small amount of fish scattered inside. Inedible. read more

And the Calamari is excellent! My next visit I have to tried the Jalapeño poppers! Our favorite place to eat since moving here from Roseville. read more

Portside Fish & Chips - Deep Fried Pickles - Fish & Chips Near Me - Anderson, California

traveling I-5 and "tired, miserable and hungry" we discovered Portside Fish snd Chips. What a PLEASANT surprise/treat!!! we both ordered basic 3 piece basket F 'n C ... not quite knowing what to expect (pressed fish sticks? etc.) the fish was flaky, moist, delish! and plentiful.. with a batter that although light and generous, just enough "juice" to make it totally satisfying. and the chips, were, well, CHIPS!!! A 10 on this elite yelper's scale.... Although not in the Anderson/Redding area often, Portside will ALWAYS now be a planned stop . read more

I just brought home the popcorn shrimp and onion rings. Large portion. Really really good. I had the shrimp salad another time and it was excellent. read more

Really good fish and chips, especially from a landlocked establishment. Fish was fresh and flaky. Fish pieces were huge, I ordered the two piece but could only eat one. Fish BasketI chose the plank cut fries, they were fine but nothing special. Coleslaw and tartar sauce were good and rounded out the meal. Our food was served promptly. Service was good. Atmosphere was strip mall fast food vibe. Recommend. read more

Seems like a local favorite. Freshly fried, hot, and crispy. For two, we got the combo 2 fish and 1 scallop to go. Every combo came with cole slaw and a sauce; we chose the standard tartar. I was worried that the fish wasn't big enough so I ordered another fish on the side. However, the portions are very generous and I probably didn't need to order it. The fish pieces were roughly 2" x 8" or longer. The fries are half curly, half wedge and delicious. Caution with eating the scallop too fast as there were super hot juices that can burn your mouth. Overall, I'm glad we stopped by! It's hard to do find a good fish and chip restaurant. read more

I've passed by this restaurant several times and kept saying that I'd like to try it out. I finally did and am kicking myself for not stopping earlier. The staff is very friendly and joke around with you. I ordered the mix-n-max with calamari. The food was delicious and good sized portions. I also ordered some fried pickles that were great. This is the best fish-n- chips restaurant in the area for sure. read more

I get their fish and chips on a regular basis and they're tasty, however, it's just a bit greasy for my taste. So as soon as I get home with them, I blot them with a paper towel and then they're good to go. They give you a choice of skinny fries which are just plain french fries, or, their wedge potatoes. That's usually what I get. read more

Best fish and chips in the Tri-State. I've worked here and frequent this restaurant . It is sooo clean and delicious! When I worked here people would come from Oregon, SoCal and say the chowder fish and chips was unbeatably their favorite! It's mine too and I'm very picky about great food. This is my favorite Fish and Chips restaurant from the east to the west coast. I've lived in Laguna Beach, New York, Italy and Northern California. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best fish and chips. Tarter, cocktail, mignonette, batter and more made fresh mmmmm. read more

Good food for being in a land locked city. The counter staff is very nice. She had a sort of confused older lady at one of the tables and the counter worker was taking extra care to help her. I was impressed with that and have gone back twice because of that level of human kindness. read more

Charming staff and surprisingly great food!! We visited for our first time and had no idea what to order. The woman at the register was welcoming and made suggestions. The dining area was clean and inviting. read more

We have just left Portside fish & chips. This was our favorite place 6 months ago. We went pretty much every Sunday. Today, the employees were friendly. We got a family deal and sodas. This was the worst fish we'd ever had. My wife saw the look in my eyes after my first few bites and asked how it was. My reply was, " it tastes like soggy mashed potatoes." it was nothing like the fish we used to get. No flavor, no texture. No amount of malt vinegar or tarter sauce could make this edible. My son tried his and said that it reminded him of those tubes of yogurt"Gogurt." You squeeze the breading, and the fish paste drops into your basket. My wife wanted to return it for something else. My son and I just said, " Nope. We are done. " we weren't even going to bring it to our dogs. We have befriended a feral cat at home, and we hope he will eat the 7 pieces of fish. We looked at the reviews on Yelp before writing this review. It looks like Portside has changed. . Our favorite fish place read more

This new business has only been open for a week but has figured out how to make fish and chips taste like they were caught fresh this morning and the unique shape of the chips was inspiring. Welcome to the Portside where they greet you when you come in and thank you after you finish. Clam chowder consistency and flavor was top notch. I'm a fan. read more

Great fish, good portions great tarter sauce, which is rare. Not a cozy place to eat but who cares the fish is excellent!!!

I Am so glad this place opened in Anderson. Wife and I ordered fish and chips and a side of onion rings. The fish is great, I would put the quality and taste up there with the best I have had. There chips are a kind of wedge cut that keeps the potato crispy on the outside ans soft and creamy on the inside, fantastic!!! The menu is very complete next time I think I will try there Fish Tacos there phone number is not listed yet but it is (530)776-3060.BTW the onion rings are to die for. read more

Truely a good meal!!!!!!!! We had the fish and chips with prawns. The coleslaw was great, not to bitter not to sweet. I didn't asked but I do believe the cocktail, ranch, tater sauce were homemade and they were yummy too. The food wasn't to greasy which is nice most places I've been to in the past seem to just drip grease. read more

$16 for soggy French Fries, 3 Teaspoons of coleslaw and then insulted with small handful of clam strips This won't happen again

I've now tried the fish and chips, scallops, and shrimp and am pleased at it all. Wonderful customer service.

My husband and I saw this little restaurant near the Outlets in Anderson Calif and we're wondering if Fish and Chips could be good in this small town of Anderson. Boy we're we surprised, it was wonderful. Large portions, fresh fish, amazing sidewinder fries. We can't wait to go back and eat on our next visit to Northern California. Treat yourself to a wonderful meal you won't be disappointed. read more

Very generous portions, but too much breading. You get one of the meats that has a lot of bread on it, don't get onion rings. French fries or something else will probably be better. The fish was wonderful and very large, as was the shrimp and scallop portions. I'd go back but I just get fries instead of onion rings. Crew very nice. read more

I'm far from a fish n chips aficionado, but I thought the fish tasted fresh and yummy. I was less pleased with the chowder, though. The chips were great! read more

Very friendly staff, delicious food, and generous portions. The calamari is DElish! The fish is great,,,not too greasy, and the sweet potato fries are definitely worth the upgrade. They home brew their ice tea, and it's awesome. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the size of the dining area. We continue to spend our $ here in hopes they will eventually buy the spot next door and bust out the wall to make the dining room bigger. Still, you can take your food to go if you need to. Lots of different things to try on the menu, and again, the people are awesome. read more

Been visiting for a couple of years. Especially like the fries. We like to take order home to eat. Yummy fish and chips. Only complaint is that I'd like larger serving of Cole slaw. They get busy in evenings so check your order to make sure it's complete before you leave the restaurant. Enjoy! read more

Family run, clean, very well prepared. I have eaten the oysters, fish, calamari, and clams. My favorite are the oysters my wife the calamari. Didn't get 5 stars because I don't care for their dipping sauces a bit pedestrian. I plan to bring my own. The onion rings are superb fries as well. On Saturday, it can be slammed during lunch.

Im from down the road in Red Bluff, the good food challenged capital of the country. (Seriously. Good food in Red Bluff is a joke). Was super excited to hear about Portside. Called a buddy from Anderson and we met up for dinner. The restaurant is visually pleasing and simple, and very clean. Menu is visible from any point, easy to read and in a logical format. Nice selection of seafood combos and fried sides including fried cheese bread. The sandwiches look fantastic. They are actually two large sliders on what looked like a brioche bun. I plan to try them next visit. I ordered the two piece fish and chicken combo and substituted fried zucchini for the fries. There was enough food for 2 diners. 3 pieces of fish, 2 chicken strips and about 6 large zucchini wedges and a small coleslaw. All the food was up to par with my expectations and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Even though you go to the counter to order, we had 5 visits to our table by 3 different staff. Hey owners and staff, can you please open up shop in Red Bluff? read more

My husband and I used to love Portside Fish & Chips. It used to be Delicious, and even though it was somewhat expensive, we would splurge a couple times a month, even during COVID-19. The last TWO times, however, the fish was soggy with the deep fry oil‍ We thought the first instance of soggy fwas an anomaly, so we tried it again. Nope, soggy. I think it's possible the oil was at too low a temperature. Regardless, it's too expensive a meal to spend a lot of $$ and get soggy fish, bluck read more
