South Bay Wild Fish House

15 Fish and Chips Spots Worth Their Salt on the Oregon Coast

"In a town that has mastered its fish and chips game, South Bay Wild Fish House holds its own. Co-owner Rob Seitz fishes off his own boat and sets aside some of the catch for the kitchen and deli case; Tiffani Seitz runs the cozy two-story restaurant filled with historical photos of Astoria and vintage fishing gear. There, they serve several kinds of wild-caught, battered fish and chips. Choose from the specialty of the house, a mild flatfish petrale sole, a slightly sweeter and moister rockfish, oysters and other shellfish. Look for specials of sustainably fished salmon-and-chips in season, too, all served with house vinaigrette slaw and wedge-cut fries. They’re best enjoyed at the long communal table upcycled from AMCO, the defunct local shipyard, with a local Buoy Beer IPA." - Jennifer Burns Bright
