Mr. Fish Chips & Chowder

Service was kind, attentive and fast. We both ordered the King of the Sea plate, and were pleasantly surprised by it. It can get expensive pretty fast, tho. And the oysters, whilst cheap (happy hour $2 p/c) weren't really nice. Overall, we did enjoy it, and would recommend stopping by (:

Locals trying out a tourist spot. We had some servers mixed up so didn’t get serve for a while. Chowder was good. Fish and chips are tasty but slightly more brown than golden (apparently that’s how they normally do it judging by other photos).

Had a great experience at Mr. Fish Restaurant. The service stood out — our waiter was attentive and really took care of us. I ordered the fish & chips, and they were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and tender inside. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re craving seafood.

We had the fish and chips! It was SO good! The customer service was great! The fish was thick, flaky and flavorful. It was very well seasoned! The fries are fresh cut style. They were great and seasoned so well. We had such a good experience. We had fish and chips at 2 other places after eating at Mr Fish. One was in Alaska but surprisingly it did not compare to Mr Fish. I'm back home in Texas and craving Mr Fish! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Full disclosure, we did not sit down and have full meal, so for the short experience we had, it was great. We went in solely for the oysters on happy hour. You can get $2 oysters during the week (and possibly every day from 3-6pm, not sure)! The oysters were amazing. They were full of amazing flavor, and so fresh. We sat at a table outside on the patio, and there was some great people watching. So if you are new to Seattle, and want a quick snack, this is a good spot to grab some oysters quickly.

The service was great, Bella took great care of us! Happy Hour oysters on a half shell for $2!? What?! They were delicious!! The fish and chips were good, breading was a little soggy but the flavor was great! The smoked salmon dip was too smokey for our taste and the chips didn’t complement the dip.

If you're ever in Seattle, make sure you stop by and enjoy the view, food, service and ambience. I got the "Salmon Burger" its a perfectly cooked piece of juicy, well seasoned salmon, NO BREADING with tartar and arugula, or the Mr. Fish Combo, perfect size meal sample of fried cod, calamari and shrimp, both served with fresh fries. The chowder was simply delicious with seasoned gold fish crackers. We had a spiced whiskey sour and a wakey wakey that lived up to their names!!... but wait, the star of the show, Shawn, stellar service, superb. Explained everything and made the whole experience AH-MAZING

I like the fresh cut non-processed chips and the focaccia with crab meat was awesome. COD is cod, not much you can do with that. The Walrus on the wall was a first for me, that was a nice touch. Just so you know, the price you pay for the food is most likely because of its location.

I'd heard a lot about Mr Fish from the Seattle Times restaurant guy. I have to say the fish lived up to the hype. The best battered fish I've had in Seattle in some time. Wasn't a fan of the chips. Full disclosure: I'm not a huge fan of fries, in general, but these seemed firmer and more potatoey than usual. We tried a chowder, too. It was nice and thick the way I like it, but Mr Fish has a thing for smoked clams (the chowder was smoky and they also serve a smoked clam dip). Fan of thick, less of a fan of smoke. Had a limeade which packed a citrus punch, perfect for that fish.

We came in as a table of 6 and were excited for some oysters and a good time! Upon arriving, we noticed it was still happy hour so we happily flagged down the waiter to put in a quick order. He was very annoyed and hurried all of us. So we threw in a few beers and I stuck to water because I was already not liking his demeanor. Later he came back and I inquired about the oysters and which kind they had because I didn't see the menu. He said there's only one kind here. So do you want oysters? Again, I tried to get some info before ordering and he came back with it's all oysters, this is Seattle. I then got the feeling that he saw us as naive travelers from some place far away where we know nothing about varieties of oysters and their flavor notes. So after feeling like another tourist we agreed to a couple dozen if the mystery oyster. They were briney, milky, and probably the worst oysters I've had in town. The rest of the food was fine. My husband loved the fish sandwich, my parents liked the thick chowder and I was fine with the mediocre Cesar I ordered. Layer, the waiter (older bald man) tried to warm up to us saying there was just a lot of orders so he was trying to help us, but we all felt turned off from what was going to be a great reunion with our parents in a city we love for its amazing food. Feels like this place was put up to just cash in on the foot traffic on Western. I'm sure I'm speaking to the visitors here (locals I am sure steer clear of a one oyster restaurant)- You have choices! Oysters are meant to be selected and tasted for their varieties. Don't fall for the you get what you get attitude of a place like this.

UPDATE: I want to say THANK YOU for the Management in reaching out. I will definitely try them again next time I'm up in Seattle. First time to Pike Public Market and Seattle. It was hustling and bustling with lots of people on a Friday afternoon. I was craving some good Fish and Chips. After walking around for about 30 mins, we stopped towards the end of the market and saw Mr. Fish. We decided to give it a try because we were getting hungry. Big Mistake!!! We ordered: Bowl of Calm Chowder: Unfortunately, it was too watery and SALTY. Taking a bite with a goldfish cracker helped a bit. Fried Calamari: it was good, but again VERY SALTY. I couldn't get the salt taste out of my mouth the whole day. Fish and Chips: I have to admit, this was good. Three big pieces of fish and fries. Flavor was good and cooked perfectly. If there's a next time to Seattle, I will definitely not be back.

Great little place outside the market. Good service from the bar, hit it during happy hour. Hearty fish sandwich for $12 and a couple bucks off booze. Nice way to spend a Friday in Seattle.

Sure! Here's a humorous and casual review that captures your experience: Shuck Yeah - Happy Hour Done Right Before heading home, we made a very responsible detour for happy hour--because hydration is important, and by hydration, I mean oysters and prosecco. Obviously. The place was cute, laid-back, and had the kind of vibe where you could show up in jeans and still feel like you belong--even while pretending you're fancy because you're sipping bubbly and slurping oysters. We ordered a dozen oysters (because six just felt like a snack and we came here to commit), and they were fresh, briny, and basically ocean-kissed perfection. The only complaint? The oysters ranged from "fun-sized" to "could ride this into battle." A little consistency would've been nice, but hey, variety is the spice of shellfish. They also served up a homemade Tabasco sauce that had just enough kick to wake up your taste buds without burning off your eyebrows. Bonus points for that. Washed it all down with a glass of prosecco--simple, crisp, and sparkling like our personalities (or at least how we felt after drinking it). We also threw in some cheesy focaccia bread just because. Definitely planning to come back and explore the rest of the menu. If this is what they do for happy hour, I can only imagine what magic they've got going on during dinner. In short: oysters, bubbles. Highly recommend.

Clean and large establishment! We ordered the classic fish and chips. 3 generous pieces of cod and savory French fries. You cannot go wrong here. The service was great, very efficient. My only regret was not being able to finish mine because it was such a large amount of food. A must have when visiting Seattle!

Amazing fish and chips! Some of the best I have ever had - highly recommend. The crab legs and Caesar salad weren't bad either. I would skip the chowder - not sure why they put goldfish in it but in any event, the texture of the chowder was a little off. Over all, a good spot!

This restaurant is located in a great location. Try to get a table outside, especially before sunset! But get there early to do so, as there will be a waitline. The fresh oysters were fantastic, but everything we ordered was excellent, especially the Chowder. Our server was super friendly and welcoming. We will return when we travel back to Seattle!

Located at the north end of Pikes Peak Market, it was inevitable we stop here. The view is inspiring, at times breathtaking. The service ends up very accommodating even though there is some confusion seating people. Especially if first come first serve seating is important to you. The chicken is very crispy. It's also very greasy and uneventful. I'll accept part of the blame because I've built up an expectation of Pacific coast fish that just wasn't met. Our neighbor, Dante, claimed his chowder tasted watered down and bland. Definitely needed to doctor it up. Fortunately, the necessary items were on the table. He just couldn't affect the consistency. Very pricey. I understand you're paying for atmosphere and the view. The ambiance? Not so much. The food is average, at best. It's way too mediocre for the cost. I mean $16 for a slice of coconut pie? Pass. 06/25

We were on a 6hr layover in Seattle and chose to lyft to pikes place. Pikes place was extremely crowded and at some point I grew hungry. We stopped at this location as there were seats available, looks like a large enough restaurant that was pretty full and peoples platters of fish and chips look great. The staff were very attentive and stopped by frequently. Coming from Hawaii, we have great fish so expectations were pretty high. I love a good fish and chips so was anticipating heaven. Everything tasted great, but by the third fish the oil was already getting to me. I tried a bit of the kids chowder and it had great flavor. I only wish it did not have bacon as I am pescatarian. I did notice that it was primarily Caucasian in the restaurant. I thought the plates were a little pricier than what I would expect to pay but it is in a touristy spot. Having not felt the best, I wanted to sit down and not rummage through all the people to get something from a kiosk which definitely would've cost less. However we had great service and the food served its purpose. The Caesar salad was also excellent with a refreshing, clean taste to the slightly salty fish.

immediately upon entry, we were greeted by very welcoming hosts. we had to wait a few minutes to get seated so we were standing off to the side & even then, all servers/hosts checked in whenever they walked past us to ask if we've been seated yet. everyone was so friendly! the food was on another level (maybe i was just hungry but either way, it was very good). - smoked salmon dip: i've never had this kind of dip before but i loved their take on it. flavorful and they actually gave enough for the amount of chips served. - crab: honestly, "half pound" was less than i expected but filled me sufficiently when combined with our dip appetizer. and it was cooked to perfection, so delicious! - fish & chips: your standard, can't go wrong & paired with the perfect tartar sauce - raw oysters: we ended up ordering this at the end just to close off the meal since it had hit happy hour anyways. they don't add hot sauce for you, but tobasco is already at every table on the side. the oysters were fresh and a perfect way to finish (highly recommend drizzle with lemons and tobasco!) *note: i love this place because even if you are seated before happy hour, as long as the order request is put in during happy hour, they can/will offer you discounted prices. for example: we placed our meal order earlier and waited until happy hour to ask for the $2 oysters.

New favorite restaurant! Wow we went back every day we were in seattle. Everything we had was amazing. My first meal was the chowder in a sourdough bread bowl and it was absolutely amazing. Their fries were the best. Staff was super friendly, all of our waiters were very sweet. This should be a go to restaurant if you are by pike place!

My son and I had just gotten into town and looking for a quick seafood place near Pikes Place Market. First of all, the location was ideal overlooking the water in a very touristy area, so I understood the pricey menu. I ended up getting sort of a sampler plate of fish and chips and a cup of chowder. When I got the order, first thing I noticed was the size of the fish which was slightly bigger than a nugget. But it looked appetizing. Unfortunately, when I bit into it, the batter inside was very undercooked. The chowder was tasty but was mostly broth and oyster crackers with almost no seafood. Fries were definitely the highlight of the plate. My son on the other hand, really enjoyed his fish sandwich. So I'd recommend that if you go. We were overall,disappointed especially since it was our first meal in Seattle.

We went downtown with dogs and tried for quite some time to find a place to eat with them, despite many places saying online they allowed dogs, they turned us away. Mr. Fish was happy to have us and we were happy to be there. Some of the best fish and chips I've had.

After some shopping at Patagonia, I popped into the market for some food. I had never been to this restaurant before. I got the classic fish & chips, a Caesar salad and washed down with a peachy cider. The fish was good, very crunchy batter. The batter is barely seasoned so definitely needs some help from the malt vinegar and Tartar. I can only describe the tartar as weak, without a lot of flavor. You get three good sized pieces of fish. Some of the chips were a little overly done but otherwise good. The salad was very good and just the right size . The cider had a nice fruity flavor, not dry but also not too sweet. I would have given another star if the tartar was better. Ivar's has better tartar sauce. I tend to compare all the fish & chips to Prya Thai in Tacoma. No place in Seattle has topped them yet.

Shocked at how high the reviews are. This is a complete tourist trap. Very mediocre food at best and expensive. We had the fish and chips, bland and greasy, and a Cesar salad (good) and the red and white chowders. The red chowder tasted very fishy and almost like it went bad. The white chowder was bland and not very tasty at all. Only good thing about the meal was the focaccia starter. As a local, I won't be going back. Having been to all of his other restaurants, this is not tom Douglas quality.

Excellent seafood and service! Great location at the north end of the Market. Found it to be better than Lowell's!

I love fish and chips and they did not disappoint! Our server was superb and prompt, sitting outside was a nice bonus given the great weather Seattle was having during our visit. I think what I loved most was the tartar sauce, which is often the unsung hero of a good fish and chips! :9

Great outdoor dining and wonderful food. Had the fish/chowder sampler, an IPA, and Happy hour oysters ($2 each). Everything was fresh and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend for a casual atmosphere with excellent food.

Our first stop for food in the city on vacation! We got here when it opened since we were exploring, and it did not disappoint. Clam Chowder Bread Bowl was hearty, tasty and amazing. My boyfriend had the clams that came with this delicious garlic grilled toast, and the seafood chowder which he said was okay but the clams made up for it. He also had ice tea which he said was probably the best he ever had! Service was nice, our server was working a lot of the tables and when it got really busy he doubled down and made every table feel seen. a really cute little shop, get here as early as you can to beat the rush!

We got the fish, fries, soup combo. Don't know how you can make food that's burned, saturated with grease and raw at the same time. I small piece of fish with a huge dip of breading around it. Soggy fries. The clam chowder was more suited to be a dip than soup. I asked for cocktail sauce and it tasted like ketchup and old bay. Server was professional. The ice tea was fresh

We had the King of the Sea, clam chowder with fish and chips and it was excellent! Staff was friendly and service was great. The restaurant has a nice dining space and patio. We will be back on our next trip to Seattle.

Ate there on July 18, 2025, the food was not very good. The clam chowder was the worst I have ever eaten. It was not smooth and creamer and it had big chunks of celery and some type of spice. It was not a traditional clam chowder. I also had the fish n chips and they were ok and bit over cooked. The fish n chips came with hand cut fries which gave the presentation of being burnt. Service was average and the ambience good near the ocean and tourists during the summer. Would I go back to the restaurant "Mr. Fish?" I'd say save your money and go somewhere else for a delicious meal.

Food was great. My family and I really enjoyed it. So close to the waterfront and Pike Market Place. One of the best Caesar salads I've ever had.

Pass the long line places to the north end of Pike Mkt, waltz right in & be seated right away on a busy summer weekend. Excellent bloodys, smoked salmon dip, standout smoked seafood chowder, & leave with time to spare before heading to SEA-TAC.

Best clam chowder I've had in years. It was delicious! Great music the service was fast for a busy summer weekend!

I was not a fan of the service we received and the taste of the food. Once our server took our order, we were served by another guy and she only checked on us once. Due to the pricing of our items, a minimum gratuity is for $26 but doing what? We pour our own water, someone else dropped the food off, and she only asked us once if we needed anything. She had a blank personality and perhaps since it was close to closing time, she was in a hurry. We ordered the chowder here which was so bland, we didn't finish. We did fish,chips, calamari which the family liked. No one liked the huge chips(fries) because they were just thick and overcooked. I got the crab legs which is insanely priced for one pound. Yes, they are baiardi snow crab, yes they are good. But $56? We are right next to the fish market and the state closest to Alaska, how are crab legs in other states so much cheaper? Aside from the fact that they may be smaller legs than these baiardi ones. Dungeness crab, I can get alive and fresh back home for $10-15 a pound depending on the season. To charge $50-60 bucks for a Dungeness crab is insanely pricey just for steamed. At my favorite places in San Francisco along the pier and at restaurants, Dungeness crab is fresh and cheaper. I don't get if it's a cost of living thing/touristy thing here so they just overcharge like crazy or what. Wouldn't recommend to my friends or family. Not based off of cost but it just wasnt worth it. I have high end seafood places here at home and their seafood...to die for. We are in a desert state that doesn't even get it fresh from the market or Alaska like this restaurant does. Sidenote, the African American server that calls everyone a queen. She deserves to be a literal general manager of that restaurant. She was so sweet to all of her tables and customers and wished them sincere thoughts. She even checked on us. She spends so much time uplifting others, I hope she gets recognized for how hard she works and deserves more than what tips can offer.

Fish was good and good fries. Can get busy though. The water is brought out to pour yourself.

The best Fish and Chips I've eaten! Also, not a Tartar Sauce fan, but theirs is different and citrusy and I now understand why it's ubiquitous with this dish. Definitely as must while in the area!

Had the fish and chips Serving size was adequate but the fish was pretty greasy. We also had the happy hour fish sandwich which was pretty good but it didn't come with any sides. Our happy hour beer was $8 but a their happy hour Moscow mule was $15.

A return trip to Seattle found our go-to restaurant under a new name; however, we hit a jackpot. This dish is de-lish!! Rub with Love Copper River Sockeye Salmon. Be sure to ask for Izzy; fabulous service!!

Good location but bad fish. The salmon was over cooked and under seasoned, fish and chips was decent dry fish in the tacos.

Great value. Great service. Great Seattle food!!!! Erin was the best! She was the type of server that's hard to find these days. Really awesome Seattle experience!

Absolutely delicious food! I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff are so attentive and nice. They want you to have a great dining experience! Thank you Mr Fish!

Shawn provided excellent service and was extremely friendly and helpful. The oysters were extremely fresh and flavorful and only $2 at happy hour. The smoked seafood chowder was tasty and robust. The fish and chips were also very good. Fish was crisp and flakey, chips were crispy and well seasoned. I would definitely recommend a visit and will return when we go back to Seattle.

The three stars are for the service, not the food. The service would have rated 4 stars at least. We had a hungry child and stopped to eat based on the pictures. Bad Idea, I am sorry to say. The fish was greasy, the smoked chowder was unremarkable and the tomato flavor overpowered any other flavor. No smoked flavor and very little seafood. The waiter replaced our cold and greasy fries. Second batch was good-real potatoes. Maybe it was time of day....I do not like to give a bad review, but seriously check your grease.

Stopped by Mr. Fish Chips and Chowder while in Seattle and wow--what a great find! The crab was absolutely delicious and oysters were also fantastic, super flavorful. But the real standout was the clam chowder, honestly some of the best I've ever had. Great portions, friendly service, and a casual vibe. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town!

Halibut tacos covered in chili oil and cheap mayonnaise. Finding the Halibut in the taco was an additional challenge ....Utterly pathetic. But that's American cuisine for you. The proverbial race to the bottom.

New owner just took over and they are doing a great job. All the fish are cooked perfectly and are delicious. Service is quick.
