Love love love this place. Everyone working there was lovely, the food was heavenly, good prices, good atmosphere. We just moved here from Los Angeles and we will be coming back OFTEN.
Best 25 bucks I’ve spent in Seattle. COD was fantastic, flakey but firm enough to hold up all the tartar sauce I was piling on. Chips were textbook no notes. Enjoyed the crab puppies thoroughly. And greatly appreciated the extra fish they threw on my two piece. Emerald City Fish & Chips was a Wicked good time.
This place is such a gem! Our family first discovered it during the pandemic and we would make the trek from the eastside for the fish and chips - yes, they’re that good! The quality/taste is phenomenal, the portions are generous, and the folks that work here are so kind. Get the halibut and chips, you’ll be a believer!
