    Prawn and Chips (it was a 6 piece but my boyfriend got to it before I could take a pic!
    Mae D.

    First of all, the staff was the sweetest. Not sure if they own the Fish House but they are so friendly and welcoming. You do have to call to order (they don't have online ordering yet). The inside of the restaurant is casual with plenty of seating. Located further south on California Ave, they have better street parking in the area. They make it fresh and piping hot! The cod and prawns were perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, but perfectly cooked on the inside (not over cooked at all!). The fries were also fried perfectly golden, crunchy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. The clam chowder though is where it's at. Don't you dare skip it because it's the BEST clam chowder I've ever had, and I've had a lot of clam chowders from many fish houses not just in WA. It's creamy, the ingredients hold their integrity, and you can taste the flavor of the good sized chunks of clams. I wish they had a larger size or I should have ordered more! What a gem in West Seattle and very much worth coming here. It's close to us (we live along Delridge), parking is easy, prices are reasonable for Seattle, food is phenomenal, and the staff just really makes this place special! I see why they are highly rated!We will be back!

    Very tasty Cod and Prawns
    Scott P.

    Very tasty I had the special 2 Cod, 3 Prawns with Chips. Loved the crispy breading on the fish and shrimp. I'm not a "French Fry Guy" but these chips were tasty and crisp. Small shop , mostly takeout I assume but there are a few tables for dining in. Staff/owners were very kind and welcoming

    Food was hot. Tasty Customer Service was excellent. Five star review will return here soon.

    Cole Slaw & Mac n cheese
    Erica C.

    The fish and chips were really the star of the show. The sides were such a disappointment. Cole slaw was $4 and had no seasoning, kinda watery and bland. Mac n cheese was the biggest disappointment. For $7 the portion was small with over cooked noodles and a sauce curdy and flavorless. The noodles literally stuck together while also being so brittle since it's over cooked. The Mac n cheese are pre-made, portioned into these containers and finished off by Chef Mic(rowave). At this point, we were kind of rethinking our life decisions and wondered why we walked into this establishment in the first place. Only thing that saved the meal was the fish and chips. The fish was crunchy and so tender. It just melted in your mouth. The fries also didn't disappoint nor was it something epic. Service was also amazing, the lady was kind and threw in an extra piece of fish.

    Wow! Their fish and prawns with chips/fries were amazing! Nice batter, delicious seafood! I would come back in a heart beat //CONTEXT// I was staying in West Seattle and was craving seafood and specifically fish and chips! This place popped up so I had to check it out! //ENVIRONMENT// There's lots of parking on the side street. It's a small shop with maybe 3-4 small tables and more is for Togo however I ate inside. It's a very casual spot and no frills and clean. //FOOD// I ordered the fish and chips (I feel like I ordered the one piece but might have gotten the two piece?) and added three prawns to my order. I also ordered coleslaw and clam chowder and a drink. The fish and chips were so delicious! None of those frozen fish sticks here lol. The size was perfect and the batter was light and crisp. The fries were also delicious and had a light bay/cajun like seasoning. Prawns were YUM! A good chunky size and also well battered! Chowder was good but nothing too crazy too call out. Coleslaw was so yummy! Sweet but light and refreshing! //PRICE// I definitely over ordered for myself and it ended up being about $40-$45 but I definitely don't think I needed all that food. Since I was traveling I just wanted to try everything. //SERVICE// The lady was very nice who I believe was Probably the owner //OVERALL/// Highly recommend this spot!

    The prawns are not to be missed if you're a fan of prawns, big and crispy! My family did a tour of Fish & Chips while in Seattle, this seemed to be the favorite of all 8 of us! We hit about 5 different fish and chips spots. Great fish, crispy light breading. Their clam chowder wasn't my favorite. Wish I could describe why, but I just didn't love it. The interior has three small 2 person tables and some chairs, but no AC, really warm on the Seattle hot days. Seems locals know to order takeout, a lot of people were in and out picking up orders. The owners were super sweet and kind, spot is the definition of a small, family business.

    Perfectly fried cod with chips and vinegar.
    Sheila A.

    I've been wanting to stop here to try their food ever since they opened, but I'm always on the way to somewhere else. Today I knew I'd be driving past them right about lunch time on my way home, and I made my plan. The employees were super-friendly and it didn't take long at all to get my to-go order though it was made fresh on the spot. I still had a 10-minute drive home, and I can say that my order of cod and chips held up perfectly - cooled just enough to eat without burning my tongue, but the batter was still crunchy-crisp and the fries were creamy inside, just a little crisp outside like perfect British chips should be. The flavor was great with just a side of malt vinegar and a few squeezes of the lemon wedge they included. I'm sorry it took me so long to get there and I'll definitely be back!

    I've only been here once, but it made an impression!…read more 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!

    First thing I noticed was the CRISP on the batter. I had to try a little ASMR moment and that crisp…read moreand 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!

We shared a 3 piece cod and chips and a large chowder. It's nice they give a senior discount when you are over 60 (yikes!). The service was quick and friendly and we got our food quickly. The fish is cooked up perfectly with a golden crust and was delicious. They serve it with their house tartar sauce and a very small side of coleslaw. The chowder was very hearty and tasty as well. Everything here was good and, even though seating inside is limited, they had a few outdoor tables which helped. We at outside and another group joined us and we made friends with them. Bonus.
