I've only been here once, but it made an impression! Came here on one of our recent hot June days. I knew I wanted to eat somewhere outside before wandering around Renton. I remembered Salty Blue was on my list and they had a front patio, so that was THE CHOICE! We found a small table for two right outside their window, just in the shade- perfect for me and my husband. I ordered the cod (battered) fish and chips, I wanted to go simple my first time. When it arrived at the table, it was a huge piece of fish sitting atop plenty of fries! The crispy batter stayed on the fish as I ate- a big plus. I enjoyed it with malt vinegar and an incredible sauce full of dill, and I LOVE dill. The fries were good but slightly soggy, maybe from the fish sitting on top, perhaps I'll immediately push them to the side next time. My husband got the grilled Mahi Mahi with chips. It looked beautiful and he said it tasted wonderful, even without any sauce or condiments. The servers came outside to check on us a couple times, which was much appreciated! We had our meals with a cold pint of beer each and just loved having delicious food while relaxing in the warm air on a sunny day. One of my favorite things about the food is that you can choose to have your fish & chips either grilled or battered and either with fries or salad. Fantastic for those days when you want something on the lighter side. The menu also has so many other items I'd like to try. Definitely will be back! read more

First thing I noticed was the CRISP on the batter. I had to try a little ASMR moment and that crisp and crunch sounded perfect! The fish itself was 10/10 Delicious! Perfectly meaty, salty and crispy. I personally like a thick batter as long as it's good and I very much enjoyed this one! The tartar sauce was herbier than usual and I really liked it, I honestly could have used a 2nd one so something to remember for next time! The fries were chunky and salty, also a 10/10! read more

Well, they did it again folks! This spot never misses!! My father in-law was in town for a short stay and had been telling him about this place for months, so naturally we had to get Salty Blue for dinner. Now, they close at 7 but was able to call in an order at 6:30 and pick it up just before close. When I called, they said they are happy to accommodate late orders (as his flight was delayed) but the kitchen appreciates a minimum of 30 mins before closing to ensure the best possible quality and be able to close the kitchen in a timely manner. Absolutely understandable and respected. They know what they are doing. As always going in to pick up my order was a pleasure as everyone is always happy, relaxed and happy to help you have your best experience. Everything is so neat and tidy!! We got 4 orders of Cod and Chips, a salad, and and extra cod piece plus an order of shrimp tacos... and when I tell you everything was still crisp and piping hot after making the 20min drive back home, it absolutely blew my mind! Everything was hot and delicious, not quite sure how they were able to accomplish that but I'm certainly glad they did. This is forever my go to for hot fresh fish and chips in the greater Seattle area!! Go check them out!! read more

Hot and freshly prepared. All fish and chips are prepared as a single large fillet. My cod was 10"-11" long easily. Fries I think are double fried (blanched) and have a melt in your mouth texture. More limp than crispy... party due tonthe double fry method and served underneath the fish, they tend to steam. Super friendly service. It pays to come during off peak hours. Plenty of seats available at 4pm on a Saturday. Small parking lot. A few patio tables with umbrellas. Watch out fornthe big pothole in the middle of the parking lot. read more

I had seen this place recommended online and I was intrigued because they had the giant pieces of fish, just like Proper Fish on Bainbridge Island which I love. We came around noon on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy but there were still a decent number of people flowing in. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food when its ready. I got the cod and chips, with sweet potato fries instead of regular (for $2 more). The fish was gigantic and well fried, though I think it was a bit underseasoned. The tarter sauce was good but a little on the lemon-ey side for me. I did really enjoy the sweet potato fries - crispy and fluffy. It's a big plate of food for a pretty reasonable price. I did enjoy it, but it didn't leave a really lasting impression so I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

This has been on my must go to list and it didn't miss a beat when it comes to great fish and chips. For starters the cod was very moist, delicate, flaky, but had a very firm texture, and had the right amount of batter and crispiness. The thick cut fresh - not frozen - potatoes and deep fried and crisp to perfection had me wanting more after eating what was on my plate. I also enjoyed the tartar sauce which wasn't the sweet pickly type and make sure to get an extra one cuz you'll want to double coat your fish and chips. The servers were great and got my food out quickly. The interior was very clean and you can sit in or outside. Love the price point and a good variety of items on the menu. Definitely will put this on my regular stops list! read more

Been trying to get to this restaurant for a while. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. I was craving a nice filet of fish with a salad and they delivered. My friend had the mahi mahi fish n chips and I had the grilled mahi mahi with a salad. Mine was grilled to perfection, cooked medium rare with the perfect amount of seasoning so you can taste the fish. My friends plate was equally appetizing with a batter dipped fish and a ton of fries. The dining room was clean and well equipped and there was plenty of parking both street and on site. They have a great little patio for dining al fresco. The service was great, smiling and offered their recommendations. Can't wait until I am in town because I want to try the sea bass next. read more

Was honestly leaning toward a full 5 stars after this visit, but since I've only eaten here once so far I'll hold that final judgment until I make it back again which I absolutely will soon. The fish burger was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh tasting, and one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you immediately know someone in the kitchen actually cares. Easily one of the better fish sandwiches I've had around Seattle recently. The chowder was the only thing that held me back slightly. For my personal taste it was a bit more watery than I typically prefer, as I usually lean toward a thicker richer chowder. That said, the flavor itself was excellent and honestly overcame most of that initial thought after a few bites. What truly stood out though was the service. Absolutely fantastic people here. Genuine, attentive, welcoming, and the kind of staff that makes a place memorable beyond just the food. That level of attentiveness and care honestly feels rare nowadays and they deserve full marks for hospitality alone. Overall this place left a very strong impression on me. Great seafood, quality ingredients, and a spot I'm genuinely looking forward to revisiting soon. I can already tell this may end up becoming a regular stop for me after another visit or two. read more

Small dine in restaurant with a big bang for fish and chips, I'd say the best fish n chips I had in the area! We ordered the basket that came with 2 fish, 2 shrimp, 4 calamari, potato cakes, and fries and slaw! It was great for sharing for 2 people that wanted to try a variety of items. My faaav was the fish and the shrimp. Fish were really big pieces. Their slaw was very refreshing and packed with a slight zest! We did try the chowder, wasn't really hitting for me, it was on a soupier side very liquidy no thickness to it (missing the thickener/roux, flavor was there but would have preferred it to be thickened. All in all, it was a great experience for my first time here. Def would try again! read more

This was my second time going to Salty Blue. On my first visit I had their fried seafood combo, which included fried fish that was not cod. In my previous review I admitted that it wasn't my favorite kind of fried fish. This time I ordered fried shrimp with the optional salad. Six large shrimp with a large salad. Wonderful. I'm originally from New Orleans so good fried shrimp makes me feel happy. The inside can be a bit loud. An Asian woman sitting near us gave my friend a dirty look because he was talking loudly so I could hear him! We moved outside for a beer and more conversation and this is where we will eat next time. I have to add how personable the staff and owners are. They stopped by our table several times and we enjoyed conversations. We definitely will include Salty Blue in our lunch rotation in the future. My friend enjoyed his fish and chips. read more

Yummy fish and chips. The breading was delicious and hot. The burgers looked excellent. The portion generous and price was good. A hard kombucha and I would have been over the moon. Maybe they will get some! Definitely a do again! read more

I tried their Sea Bass, I don't know to many places that do a sea bass. It was fried to perfection with a crispy outer texture and a fluffy juicy inside. The batter might be a smidge too salty, but it was delicious. I would definitely go back in the future. Their chips are cut just right and they include one tartar sauce with the order of fish and chips. Parking was easy and service was great. Would go back again. read more

Nice little Cafe with delicious food! Celebrating daughter's bday with lunch. Ordered the cod and chips, shrimp tacos, calamari, and seafood chowder. This is Aussie style with one big piece of cod and fries. Great attention to detail and service was excellent. Downtown Renton next door to Rice and Curry. Lots of parking and tables inside and outside. Prices are reasonable and offers wine, beer, and assorted juices. Not fancy, just good! My only issue was the noise level (loud) and grease on the fries. read more

We were starving from traveling and indecisive so we just ordered the basket and a separate cup of chowder to satisfy all cravings! Staff was friendly, happily answered questions. I almost didn't get the basket due to everything being fried, but they did make an exception to swap 1 item for grilled. If we didn't get the basket we were going to spend a lot less so by allowing people to swap one of those items for grilled is a good selling point IMO & you can swap with The Catch, but I wanted the potato cakes from The Basket. He informed me the chowder wasn't as thick as most places and I actually loved the soupy consistency. It was flavorful without being too filling before your meal! Chowder was delicious! Everything from the basket was so good. The grilled fish was tasty & well seasoned. The breaded fish does not leave that greasy taste in your mouth like other places, It's one of the best I've had. The potato cakes were a treat. I loved those so much, and even the slaw was yummy! Our meal came with tartar sauce and another, but the tartar sauce was excellent. Restaurant appeared to be extremely clean, even the bathroom, & the hand soap smelled so good. All the men were hard working, As soon as people got up they were clearing and wiping off tables. Highly recommend this place. Would we pretty sweet to sit outside during good weather. read more

Salty Blue continues to be my go-to spot for fish & chips in Seattle. Their batter is everything it should be - crisp, airy, and perfectly seasoned (no egg). The fish is consistently flaky, well-cooked, and never dry or overdone. Surprisingly, I also love their burgers and chicken strips! Everything they do is well executed and you won't be disappointed no matter what you get. If you're overwhelmed by the menu (understandable!), go for one of the baskets - they're great for sharing and take the guesswork out of ordering. And whatever you do, don't skip the potato cakes. The ambiance is simple, bright, and fittingly nautical; nothing fancy, just good vibes and even better food. The staff are friendly and great with helping you through the menu. Highly recommend if you're craving classic fish & chips done right. read more

Been coming here since the pandemic and their fish is always fresh and juicy. I've had their cod and the fish tacos in the past, this time I opted for their Deluxe Burger and YUMMM! I ordered for pick up and my order was ready when I arrived so it was a quick in and out, as I got ready to eat I open my box and this monster of a burger is there with fresh cut chips, I mean... what can I say, the burger was seasoned, the beef bacon was thick, and you can never go wrong with fresh cut chips so for me, this place hasn't missed. Support a locally owned fish & chips spot and enjoy a delicious meal, they are worth it! read more

Delicious! Some of the best fish n chips in the greater Seattle area. Great food, friendly service.

This is one of those places I have to leave a review for because I honestly can't say a single negative thing. I came in for the first time about 30 minutes before closing and was welcomed by the most patient, kind young man who never made me feel rushed. He answered all my questions in detail and made the whole experience easy and comfortable. The portions were huge -- the fish I ordered was massive, moist, and absolutely delicious. You truly get your money's worth here. I wish I had taken a picture! I'll definitely be back, and I'd confidently bring friends here knowing they wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Four of us went to Salty Blue Fish and Chips for lunch today. We had two of their Sea Bass plates, one of them grilled with chips (French fries) and one of them battered with potato cakes. Two had the fish tacos. Each couple had a bowl of fish chowder to share as an opener. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. read more

If you are looking for a change of pace, a way to decompress yourself from the chaos of downtown, come here. Renton feels like small town living and the locals were quite friendly. Upon entering we were greeted by a young man behind the counter. He was very friendly and his recommendations were excellent. The restaurant was clean and surprisingly it doesn't smell like fish. The fish tacos were so delicious. It was a great balance of coleslaw and fish. It was slightly sweet and the squeeze of lemon balanced all the flavors. We ordered 2 different types of fish and chips and clam chowder as well. This place seems to be a local favorite. The diversity in customers was really nice to see. Keep up the great work and "Stay Salty" read more

Loved the fried shrimp tacos! The dressing was great and the lettuce/slaw mix helped out balance the fried shrimp. The fries were good but not exactly my favorite as they were the crispy and soggy type of fries but I think that's a personnel preference thing. The employees were all helpful and checked in on us multiple times if we needed anything. I'll definitely be back again to try other things! read more

We called in and the customer service was good, it was quick and easy and took around 25 minutes. The workers were very nice and chatty when we went to pick it up, and the food was fresh. Everything was good, our only complaints are that the Dos Fish Tacos are $16 and come with no fries while the Fish and Chips come with a comedically large piece of fish along with the fries. The grilled fish on the tacos was also not washed very well, as the fish had a sandy texture and dirty taste.. read more

Casual dining, great quick bite, lunch date option! There is a parking lot which is nice and some outdoor seating that's dog friendly. My partner and I both got the Hoki/House Fish & Chips, I got the sweet potato chips upgrade. Loved both, regular fries/chips felt more crispy than the sweet potato ones but I still really enjoyed them. We were both obsessed with the house sauce, it was sweet and tangy! Very addicting and wanted to dip the fish and all the chips in it, so if you're a saucey enjoyer like me, I would highly recommend you get another one. Also enjoyed the chowder, flavors were good, not the thickest chowder but it had a lot of good bites of ingredients that were in it (wish I had gotten a better photo of that). Liked their drink selection, service is mostly self serve, the staff did check in on us when they did the rounds, offered to bring out stuff when they dropped off our food but we cleaned up after ourselves. This is a great casual spot for fish n chips enjoyers and great selection of small bites to share. We did come on a weekday so unsure how it is during the weekends. We will be coming back to try out the other stuff on the menu! read more

Fish & chips! Salty Blue is a smaller place with a paired down menu that gets out the food fast. I got the code and you get 1 huge piece over fries ($17) and 2 sauces - starter and a sweeter one. The fish came out hot with a sprinkle of salt on top. The menu includes burgers, salad, apps, along with 3 different fish or shrimp. They do have a few tables outside for overflow. Parking is available on the street or maybe you can grab o e in the small parking lot. They offer sodas, and beers. read more

After driving by all the time, I am not fish and chip person and it is pricey from looking the menu. We stopped for early dinner, I ordered fish taco, it was $10 per taco, on that note, it was good fish taco. The fish was little batter and big piece of fish. It was as big as the tortilla and tortilla was also good. The sauce was good , look like thousand island, on the sweet flavor. The staff was friendly and come and checked on us. Parking lot is small but you can park on the street. read more

The barramundi (sea bass) was amazing! It was a meaty filet that was wonderfully seasoned and had a really nice, crispy sear. The salad had a great lemon vinaigrette. The fried cod (NZ hoki) was awesome as well. It is more meaty and has more flavor than American cod. It is batter coated but has a great crunch somehow and was less greasy than most batter style fish and chips. The sweet potato fries however were a little too greasy for my taste. The tartar was thick and delicious! The tacos (grilled) were fantastic: loaded with tons of hoki and had a sweet slaw and savory sauce (tasted like a bang bang sauce mixed in with relish that is somehow just magnificent). Very friendly staff and casual vibe. read more
