Emerald City Fish & Chips

Amazing fish spot that lives up to the hype behind it. We came to this spot after watching worth it and everything was amazing, from the service and speed to the quality and quantity of the dish. There’s very limited dining inside and outside but not too busy when we came. We got Fried Catfish, Cod, chips (fries), and smoked salmon chowder. The catfish and the salmon chowder were my standouts. Great spot for fish and chips - breading is light but still good and the fish shines through. And of course, that spicy tartar sauce is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Quick service fish and chips place. Employees are amazing, very proactive and amazing customer service. If you have any questions they are very charismatic and will help you. They also are very experienced in the kitchen and know what they are doing. So remember to tip your chefs.

Cod - 5/5
I got the cod fish and chips. The cod is pretty fresh and the batter is pretty good. It didn’t come out soggy or breaks apart. Also the batter didn’t slide off the fish.

Chips (aka fries) 3/5
The fries can be crispier. I’m not sure if it’s the fries themselves or the temp of the fryer is not hot enough.

Tartar sauce - 5/5
This sauce is amazing. It’s more of a remoulade. The spices that they put in the sauce is really good.

Clam chowder - 3/5
It taste like Sysco / US food packaged clam chowder. They definitely dressed it up, but compared to the fish and chips, this doesn’t measure up.

Honestly the best place I’ve been to so far. Staff is super friendly, food came out nice and hot and didn’t take too long. It’s also reasonably priced and by far probably one of my favorites in Seattle.

We got the Alaskan Cod n chips, the Halibut n chips, and chicken n chips.
The man there also offered us to try the Salmon chowder before we decided to get it. And btw, it was so good.

Anyway I really hope my review got a chance to convince you to come here!

First time visit. Two of us love fried oysters and each ordered the basket of 12 for a large lunch/dinner. The counter service was friendly and fun. We live 15 minutes away and the meal held up well on the drive home. The oyster breading was fantastic - excellent texture, color and smell - and the large oysters were perfectly soft. I love dipping the oysters in the special tartar sauce! So good! But they were also good on their own. The unique coleslaw was so so delicious, next time I will order another serving of slaw. Finally, the hand cut French fries were the perfect accompaniment. We had leftovers and they reheated very well in the air fryer later in the day. I will order a smaller portion next time and save room for dessert. I knew I wanted to come back to this place even before I left! The price is right - completely worth it because of the obvious love and care put into selecting ingredients and preparing the food. Love the smiles of everyone working.
