The Fish Peddler Restaurant on Foss Waterway

Went there with some co-workers and we were not disappointed. I got the Connecticut lobster sandwich. The bread was perfectly toasted for this sandwich and while the butter was the reason I chose it, I feel the amount of meat I got could have been more. It was good, but more I would have made it better. The chowder was delicious! No complaints at all. The seafood nachos were good as well. The Cioppino shrimp curry was also delicious. They were busy so we didn’t see our waitress often but when she came by, she was amazing. She made some recommendations and there were just so many options we will have to come back. Unfortunately the patio was closed but it was still comfortable inside.

I have to say the Dungeness crab mac and cheese is divine. The fish and chips some of the best we have ever had. The beer I chose to try was the Ranier, mainly because I've never had it before and I was told it's pretty decent. We sat on the patio overlooking the marina on a very hot day. Our server was so friendly and helpful. I wish we would have returned before we left Tacoma. Wonderful fresh seafood, you will love this place

Stopped here for dinner one night before a show I was going to in Tacoma back in February. The food was so delicious and fresh and all the staff members were welcoming and knowledgeable. I sat at the bar and both bartenders gave me so many great recommendations for things around the area since I was new to Tacoma. The crab cakes disappeared quickly, and the apple crisp with vanilla ice cream was the perfect ending to the meal. Definitely would love to go back again next time I'm in town

Food was pretty good. I really loved the nachos which is below, contained shrimp, crab and pretty sure an avocado like paste? I got the Dungeness Crab Mac N Cheese, it wasn’t that bad, im not a huge fan of the cheese though. Tried the clam chowder, not that bad either but could use more salt— Otherwise I wouldn’t mind going here again and trying more food! Thank you guys! 😩🎉

Great little place for seafood next to the water in Downtown Tacoma. Good selection of beers and cocktails. I had the blackened salmon and asparagus. I tried to come back a few weeks later for a second time, but unfortunately they close early at 8 PM.

White table cloth prices in a casual dining restaurant. The food was good, not great. The salmon was very good. The mac and cheese was delicious. The clams were OK as was the rest of the meal. Service was good. Staff is friendly. The prices are just not in line with this type of restaurant.

It was a beautiful afternoon & and I decided to go out & enjoy the day. I took the transit train down to Tacoma Dome station, walked to Dock Street & strolled along Foss Waterway, enjoying the sights,, discovering little hidden sculptures along the way, when I came across the Fish Peddler Restaurant. Being in the mood for fish tacos, I decided to stop in & continue to enjoy the great sunny day, with a seat on their patio. It was a little busy, with, close to a 25-30 min wait. But, I soon discovered it was so worth it. Alice waited on me & gave me 2 recommendations for mock-tails. "Smooch on the Beach" & "You Put The Lime in the Coconut". Both of which turned out to be fabulous. I couldn't pick one over the other, so now I have 2 new mock- tail favs!!!! I got the blackened fish tacos, with a side of mashed potatoes & OMG, they were delicious. The fish was very well seasoned, spicy with the salsa adding the right amount of sweet & heat. The mashed potatoe was made with red skin potatoes. It was creamy & the potatoe skin gave it, that home-made taste. The view from the patio, overlooked the waterway, with boats that were docked or going up & down the waterway, along with a few paddle boats, cars going over the bridges, all added a nice touch & was a perfect end to my afternoon. I'll definitely have to visit again!!!!

Possibly the BEST salad I’ve ever had! Smoked Salmon Salad. Half dozen oysters on the half shell were FRESH and amazing as well. The salad features a blend is smoked Copper River and King salmon (Smoked in house), goat cheese, peppers, onion and toasted baguette. Unbelievably good!!
