My family and I were in town on vacation and were looking for some seafood. After a little bit of Yelp research, we decided on The Fish Peddler. I'm almost a little sad that we picked this place first, because I don't know that any other place we eat at is going to be as good or better. This is a combination restaurant / fish counter. Don't let that discourage you from eating there. When we walked in, there was one table left. Always a good sign when a place is busy, especially during the off season. There's generally a reason why the other places are empty. In addition, there was no smell from the fish counter. A sign that everything is fresh. Honest, you really don't even notice there is a counter there once you sit down. We went with a half-dozen oysters on the half shell, Dominic's Fish and Chips, which is the fresh local catch of the day. Today it happened to be Rockfish, always one of my favorites, the Shrimp and Chips, and The Cioppino, which is a seafood stew. This has clams, mussels, fish, prawns, and crab in a tomato sauce. There's a decent selection of beer as well. First, I want to say these were some of the best oysters I've had, fresh out of Willapa Bay. We should have ordered a dozen or two. These came with some lemon and fresh horseradish. Try the horseradish! The oysters tasted great with nothing on them or with a little fresh horseradish. The fish was fried perfectly, golden brown, not oily, and not overcooked. You can easily tell this was fresh Rockfish. The shrimp were fried perfectly as well. The Cioppino was amazing! Again, all the seafood was prepared perfectly. But it was the flavor of the stew that really stood out. This is a dish not to be overlooked and tastes great on a cold day. The food here is outstanding! Though this is a combination market / restaurant, the atmosphere felt comfortable and inviting. The service was great as well. Everyone here was friendly. If you're looking for some great fresh seafood, the Fish Peddler is a must eat and there are plenty of items on the menu that can bring you back multiple times. Honestly, I hope we come back here before we leave town. read more

Great food!!! Service was great and quick! Really good Chowder, I'm picky and will be back for more. We had the Halibut fish and chips! Fantastic! Halibut was firm, great flavor, juicy, and awesome breading. They are my favorite place for chowder and fish and chips! read more

My brother and I ordered 3 oysters & a cup of clam chowder! All this and a drink was about $20! The oysters were fresh & not ocean-y at all! Highly recommend!! The clam chowder was not water-y, which my brother said was the best clam chowder he ever had! Personally, I kind of didn't like how thick the clam chowder is, but it is a chowder, and this clam chowder lived up to being a chowder haha. read more

I kinda love this place. Great stop on a visit to the coast or the Tillamook cheesery. The line can be intimidating, but there's a decent amount of seating inside. We tried a variety of things. The chowder was super creamy and solid. I got the fish tacos (twice now) and loved them. Really nice fry on the fish and balance of flavors. Best I've found in a long time. Will be my go-to upon return trips, for sure. read more

I cannot say enough about this place and it's food! So fresh! These days it's rare to find quality food and good service! Bravo!

We went on an Oregon coast road trip starting in Silverdale, Washington and this was by far our favorite stop for food! The staff are amazing and I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a laid back eating experience this is it. The food was excellent. I loved the tuna. I would love to figure out how to recreate the recipe since my son went nuts over it (it was his first time trying tuna salad). The fried calamari strips were a table favorite too. Very child friendly and easy to hold conversation with the family and friends while you eat. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If we were closer to home we would have bought fresh seafood to go because all of it looked very fresh. Check this hidden gem out! read more

Fried oysters galore...... if you want an awesome place to eat this is it... we went for the all you can eat oysters and ate till our bellies were gonna burst.... Comes with fries too in the first basket. Staff kept out baskets full and were friendly. It has a few tables inside which we ate at since the weather was a bit misty. I thought I posted this when I went but I guess I never did. Someday I hope to make it back up there for some more read more

It was an unfortunate meal for us. We both love halibut fish and chips so we stopped in on our road trip. I guess the reviews led us astray. I'm giving 2 stars, one for the clean operation and attentive service, the other for the views of the bay while dining outside. Sadly, the halibut seemed like it was frozen and pre-battered somewhere else. It came out looking flat like it was cut out with a cookie cutter. The taste was mealy, dry and dull, even the tartar sauce didn't help. The best way to describe it was, it reminded me of those old TV dinners my mom would serve me as a kid on Friday night while watching "Flipper". Luckily we got a few raw oysters on the half shell that were decent. I really was hoping for better and expected more considering I trust Pacific Seafoods as a supplier. But honestly, I don't think we will be back. Truth... read more

The Fish Peddler - The view was great, the fish & chips not so much. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Bay City, Oregon

This is the perfect no-frills stop for the freshest seafood in the area. We had just finished the self-guided tour at the Tillamook Cheese Factory and wanted to escape the hullabaloo of the crowds swarming in line for ice cream and lunch. The Fish Peddler had been at the top of my list of seafood to try when we were in the area. I wanted to avoid Mo's as well, and this place looked excellent. Don't expect fancy when you come here. It's basic but there's plenty of indoor seating, with some outdoor tables as well. You order at the counter and the staff give you a buzzer to alert you when your order is ready. We were already set on ordering the oysters and the clam chowder, so that's what we got. We waited for around 10 min and then our food was ready. The clam chowder was so good! There were lots of clams in the chowder and the potatoes were tender and perfectly-sized. I loved the consistency of the chowder as well. I may not be a clam chowder snob, but I know good chowder when I taste one. Of course the oysters were the star of the show. They were served with lemons, horseradish, and cocktail sauce. I usually prefer mignonette sauce but that's fine. I saw they had an option for cucumber mignonette but I didn't feel like paying for it that day. I know it's only $1 so next time. Regardless, the oysters didn't even need much of a sauce, they were beautifully briny alone. While we tried taking our time enjoying the seafood, it was safe to say that we also devoured everything. We sat outside enjoying the sea breeze and the views. The Fish Peddler is definitely a must-return for us the next time we visit the OR coast! read more

Omg! Best meal I've had all year. Everything was tasty and so fresh. Stopped in on a whim and it's going to be a staple every time I make the drive! The crab was sold by market price ($18.99/lb) and it was 2.4lbs, if anyone was curious!! I worked in a fish and chips place in Seattle for years and this fried platter was truly to die for! read more

The Fish Peddler - Dungeness crab, medium clam chowder, captains platter - Seafood Markets Near Me - Bay City, Oregon

I ate at the Fish Peddler yesterday, June 16, 2026, and it was nothing like it use to be. I had the halibut fish and chips and my friends both had the crab and shrimp melt The halibut was terrible. You could tell it was not fresh, very fishy smelling and it was all dried out. The crab and fish melts had not a taste of crab, no flavor whatsoever. This was the first time in a year that I ate at the FP. I was amazed at how the food had gone downhill. Very disappointing. read more

BEST fresh, raw oysters I have ever had in the past 9 years. No one can beat this place - absolutely worth the visit anytime we go to the coast! read more

Solid option for seafood on the coast. Counter service. For getting a decent seafood option on the coast that won't break your bank this place works. Their fish and chips usually uses rockfish. The clam chowder here is actually really good (not as salty as many other places) and worth getting. I had the Captain's platter which came with a few fried oysters, clam strips, shrimp and rockfish. It was a great sampler platter. Small retail counter is there for those that want that. View is nice depending on where you sit, you get to see the ocean. read more

The food here is fabulous. We were planning on visiting a local oyster farm but later found out they were closed on Sundays so we had to change our destination as oysters is what we were looking for. That's when we discovered the Fish Peddler. The oysters here were delicious. We went with the dozen fried and dozen on the rocks. I'm not sure what oyster varieties they were but it looked like kumamoto's based on their size. They were also sweet. Ordered some marinara and horse radish on the side with some lemon slices. In addition we grabbed a small calamari salad, clam chowder and Captain's Sampler (fish, oyster, calamari) and Fish Taco. The taco seemed generic so probably avoid that next time. Everything else was spot on. Our 1.5 hr drive from Tigard was well worth the journey and it's always a pleasure driving through the Tillamook Forest on Highway 6. The restaurant is on a pier and there is plenty of parking. The view of the water is beautiful with surround land area. The workers there were friendly and there's plenty of seating both inside. There's probably about 5-6 bench areas but we decided to pop open the lift gate of our SUV and eat there while watching the water. This location is about 5 miles North of the Tillamook Factory in case you all decide to check out both places. read more

Generous, fresh, lovely seafood. Had a few oysters and fish and chips. Maybe I would take a half star away because the fries don't appear to be fresh cut on the premises. Love this place though...super vibe, super service, casual and fun. read more

4.5 overall rating here. My boyfriend gave it a 5 because it's the best Dungeness crab he's had in his life, and I'm giving it a 4 because the fried clam strips and chips I got were okay. His enthusiasm about the crab makes me use the 5 star rating. He's still beaming over it. The employees are pretty sweet and helpful. There's a lot of stuff you can buy as souvenirs. Clean restroom. Would return. $70 total for two meals and one bottled drink. Plenty of free parking in lot. read more

We stopped in at The Fish Peddler on Friday for lunch, and while our experience was still good, it wasn't on the same level as the last few times we've visited. I'm happy to report the clam chowder is still delicious, and some of the best you will find along the Oregon coast. My ideal chowder is not quite as thick as this, but the flavor was still amazing. It really hit the spot on a day filled with torrential downpours. The halibut fish & chips, on the other hand, was a disappointment. The batter was good and crisp, without excess oil, which is the best I can say for them. The fish itself was flavorless, and slightly over cooked, to the point that it was a tad on the rubbery side. Maybe if the employees had spent less time focusing on their very loud conversation, instead of watching what they were cooking, they would have turned out better. The 'chips' were cooked well, but they were battered style fries, which I am never a fan of. I'll still go with 4 stars, because the delicious chowder saved the day. read more

Was recommended to go here by a local and was excited to have dinner here with my family for my birthday. Location: You'd think that it's on a pier and you'd have views of Tillamook Bay. Nope. There are two small tables aside the window where you can get a partial but obstructed view. All other winders are blocked so you can't even see outside. Service: You order at the counter and they call your number or you're given a buzzer. Nothing special about service. Food: Decent but nothing to return for. Decorum: Nothing special, and disorganized. Will not be returning when in the area. read more

This place is a pretty solid meh. We ordered the crab and shrimp melt and got a grilled cheese sandwich with ground crab meat mixed with cheap pink shrimp (probably frozen). The clam chowder was way too thick with flour and the fried oysters were overcooked. Their tartar sauce was terrible. The best dish was the oyster stew. I would not stop here again but I have seen worse. Sitting outside in the sun was nice though read more

My boyfriend and I went to the coast for the day..... i feel like all we did was eat! (not that i mind! haha) On the way back, he says, I hate to ask you eat more, but we gotta have a cup of clam chowder at this place. (he is a native oregonian and grew up visiting this place - I am a transplant) Ok, I sighed, thinking to myself that i wasn't going to eat again for a week. Can i just tell you how GLAD i was that he suggested this? Hands down, LITERALLY, the BEST clam chowder i've ever had!! And I've eaten a lot of chowder.... in maine, in boston, in california..... this blew them all out of the water!!! I'm not even going to try to tell you why it's better - you're just going to have to trust me when i say that it is!! if you like clam chowder, do not hesitate to stop here..... even you don't think you're hungry! You will be glad you did!! it was a beautiful day - we sat outside. so there wasn't much service to speak of, but go for the chowder! all thumbs up! read more

Great place to have chowder and wow the menu has some other things on it that will bring me back. We had chowder in the breadbowl and that was excellent, bread was fresh and very tasty. The cioppino was serious full of fish and clams oysters and crab. The red sauce was spicy but not hot and very savory. Had a half dozen oysters and those were excellent as well! Place is simple and has benches around and a small dining room, nothing special but the food is good and the placement on the peninsula offers some bay views. read more

If you're craving fresh seafood, warm hospitality, and views that make you stop and breathe it all in--The Fish Peddler at Pacific Seafood in Bay City, Oregon is about to steal your heart. We're spending the weekend on the coast with our pup Pine and were searching for two key things: amazing food and a dog-friendly atmosphere. I asked a local Facebook group where the best seafood melt and chowder could be found, and several people pointed us to this spot. It's only 15 minutes from Tillamook, right off Hwy 101--but honestly? It feels like a tucked-away treasure. First Impressions: From the moment we arrived, we felt the local love. There was a short line, but the staff was super efficient and kind. They handed me a pager so I could hang out near the dock with Pine without being stuck inside. As we waited, an employee came out, greeted my dog, gave him a little cheese snack (which he devoured), and chatted with us like we were old friends. Then--like a scene from a storybook--they gave us a tip about a "secret" walking path behind the restaurant. After we ate, we followed their advice. Behind the building lies a peaceful peninsula trail surrounded by water. It was quiet, golden with the sunset, and felt like a hidden corner of the world just for us. On a busy summer Saturday, I wasn't expecting solitude like that, and it's something I'll never forget. The Food: I ordered the Oregon Bay Shrimp and Crab Melt, subbed in sweet potato fries, and it was absolute heaven. The seafood was fresh and flavorful, the sandwich had the perfect crisp, and that little lemon wedge they included? It woke up every flavor in the best way. The sweet potato fries were hot, salty, and cooked perfectly. You can tell care goes into every plate. Next visit, I'll be trying their halibut fish & chips--because let's be real, if they nailed the melt, I know that's going to be just as incredible. Dog-Friendly & Thoughtful: One of the things that made this meal even better was how relaxed and accommodating the space was for people with pets. I didn't feel rushed. I didn't feel like I was in the way. Alpine got to relax, get a treat, and hang out by the water while we waited for our meal--something that made the experience so much better as a dog parent. Photographer's Dream: As a photographer, I'm always scouting new locations--and I left this spot with not just a full belly, but full inspiration. The bay behind the restaurant is now on my shortlist for future drone sessions, elopements, and engagement photos. The light, the water, the solitude--it's an unexpected gem, and it's all thanks to the kindness of a local employee who took the time to share it with us. Final Thoughts: The Fish Peddler isn't just a meal--it's a full Oregon Coast experience. From warm, welcoming locals and the best seafood melt I've had in years to discovering a peaceful hidden peninsula I never would've found on my own, this place is now officially on my "every trip" list. Tillamook, you did it again. Highly, highly recommend and a must stop every time I'm going through Bay City. read more

We went there for lunch. It was nothing fancy or pristine. The resturatnt is literally on the wharf connected to a fish monger. Mom and I both had the cioppino. Every single piece of shell food was brought in that morning for the afternoon (lunch/dinner) rush. If I were to criticize this place, your momma, and your grandma would slap me and twist my ears! Do you want 5 star dining on the Oregon coast? Good luck! It is not happening. If you want the best seafood that was hauled in early in the morning...this is your place. Don't slap your mama, but slap your cousin because they probably deserve it. What you deserve is to eat here! Don't miss out (and don't slap anyone. Violence is never the answer. Fresh seafood is the answer.) read more

Glad we drove past the main touristy spots to this gem right off the water. They're picnic tables out front and lots of seating inside. Restroom spic and span too. Whoot whoot. Staff was super from taking order to pick up window.

That fish and chips tasted freshly battered and fried too. Yaaaaas! read more

My order included a half dozen fried oysters and a small Dungeoness Crab cocktail and a glass of Pinot Grigio. The oysters melted in my mouth and they have 7 instead of 6! Bonus!! They're so fresh and flavorful and the batter is to die for. Not greasy perfectly cooked the crab was fresh and absolutely delicious. They have great cocktail sauce. The wine was delicious. I sat outside on a picnic table and just took in the beautiful day. I'll always be back.! read more

Make a stop here if you're n the Tillamook Bay Area! We were craving seafood and tried a Cannon Beach restaurant but it was far too busy. So glad it was so we could stumble on this find. We had clam chowder (so good - made the mistake not to ask for bread bowl. Don't do the same), half doz oysters (opened when you order them - so fresh!) and fried seafood platter (shrimp, fish, calamari and oysters). Excellent food, counter service so easy, order came out quick (even with the place really busy) and didn't break the bank. Wished we lived n the area, would come back to buy seafood to cook at Home. They have a separate case for you to buy their seafood to take home. read more

We ordered the fish and chips, clam chowder and fresh oysters. Our least favorite was the fish and chips, we're not used to the lack of breading on the fish and the taste was mediocre. Their clam chowder and oysters on the other hand were way more worth it in my opinion. Clam chowder was thick and savory. The oysters were fresh and came with lemon and horseradish. The restaurant is on the bay and has a nice view. read more

This was a great find in Bay City. It's off the road on a bay. They have a small sea food shop with indoor seating. Some spots have a view of the bay and some are down an enclosed hallway. On the tables they have a large cocktail sauce, owners recipe, it's very good. You can also purchase various local products within the shop. They have a handful of beers on tap. You can also take your food outside and enjoy the view from the bay. Well the fish and chips were amazing, sorry for not having a pic, the chowder is very good, we had a few servings, we also tried the seafood melt, wow you need to try this. Very tasty. They serve the food with fries, we enjoyed our food with a beer. Everything that we tried had good flavor and for as busy as they were we did not wait much in-line or for our food. This is going to be out go to for coastal fish and chips. read more
