"A 50-year-long mainstay of Oceanside, this waterfront outpost offers combination plate specials of their loved fish and chips. On Tuesdays, diners can take in views of the Oceanside harbor while trying the medium fish basket with two pieces of cod and two sides of their choice (fries, beans, slaw, onion rings, fried zucchini, or sweet potato fries) for $15.75. Diners with a bigger appetite at the end of the week may want to order the Friday sampler plate with one piece of fried fish, two pieces of fried shrimp, slaw, fries, and clam chowder for $19.75." - Roxana Becerril, Keri Bridgwater

"No visit to a beach town called Oceanside would be complete without some solid seafood. Harbor Fish and Chips, a casual seafood shack in town, answers the call, with a menu that includes fried fish, fried shrimp, and mixed seafood baskets piled with diner’s choice of french fries, tangy coleslaw, beans, or a green salad. Clam chowder served in a cup or bread bowl, grilled fish or shrimp plates, and fish tacos round out the no-fuss menu." - Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff

"Fish and chips headlines the menu at this family-owned and operated Oceanside eatery with views of the harbor. For non-fried options, consider the grilled fish plate seasoned with butter, garlic or herb seasoning. Outdoor seating is first-come, first-served." - Darlene Horn

I love seafood and I love that this place is right in the marina. I visited on a Friday while strolling around the Oceanside marina. First time here and a very positive experience. The menu has daily specials, for Friday it was the sampler platter for $23 (if I remember correctly). The fish and chips were super fresh but could had used more seasoning. Very casual, friendly staff.

Located at the marina in Oceanside, this is a very casual restaurant with ample seating both inside and out. To start off, they cook with avocado oil. This must be a new thing since there was a sign at the entrance. Everything we ordered was light, crispy, season perfectly and was cooked up upon order. The portions were pretty generous, and the fish filet was huge. You can either get coleslaw or fries as your “chips”. The clam chowder was just OK, but it was still a very, very satisfying meal. Service was quick and very friendly.

Casual spot with lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Order at the counter then they call out the number once your food is ready. You get your own utensils, napkins and sauces. Also malten vinegar and hot sauce were on each table. We stopped after a long morning at the beach and it was the perfect vacation lunch with the view and breeze in the marina. Fish and shrimp were light and crispy and my 5 year old ate 2 pieces so you know that's a win! Even though cooked perfectly it was a bit bland to my taste but with tartar sauce it definitely hit the spot. Fries were crispy and cole slaw was fresh. Prices were okay considering the location.

Been here quite a few times over the years. I live only 15 min away. During much of the year, it can get very cold out here by the marina/harbor so dress comfortably warm unless it's the summer. Seating is tough during the warmer months when we have a boatload of tourists in town. There is inside and outside seating. Prices are a bit high but the fish pieces are huge. Lots of batter, which is fine if the fish is large too. They have beer at good prices. Service is excellent. They have really nice employees. Note: there is no bathroom here really. It's one of the biggest issues with these restaurants. Only Rockin' Baja Lobster and Dominics have their own bathroom that I'm aware of. There is one for outside, but it's dirty.

We stopped for supper at this place. I did choose the grilled fish. Wow, an amazing choice of mine. The fish (seabass) was so tasteful and delicious. Would give a higher ranking if I could. I can only recommend

It's a tradition to come here anytime I'm in town . Growing up in the area, this place was always a tasty treat. The fish does taste a little different perhaps because they are using a different oil, but still tasty.

Really Good... We had the Captains Special and the Clam Chowder in Sourdough... Everything good. Thanks for the service

I absolutely love this little restaurant. The fish and chips are great! Large, hot crispy fish strips served over a bed of fries are my standard order. Along with a cold bottle of beer! And, of course, they have all the condiments!
