My sister and I got dinner here last week and the man working is sooo sweet. I ordered a 3 piece cod and my sister ordered 2 and we both were so surprised when we got home and saw that he had added an extra piece each for us. Literal angel. Fish was delicious. Loved the home made tartar and malt vinegar. When we were there he was trying to get us to take some Halloween candy haha. Will have to come back more often when I'm craving fish and chips. He's just the sweetest thing.

I was immediately transported back to the 80's when I stepped inside Sunfish. It's an old school seafood restaurant located next to Alki Beach with a great view and serves up delicious fried seafood. Order at the counter and then pick up your order once it's called. The inside has several tables to dine in and the outside wrap around patio has about 10 tables. Ordered the following: Cod combination - 1 piece of cod, 2 prawns, 2 oysters and fries. The cod, prawns, and oysters were fried to perfection and delicious. The fried oysters are some of the best I've ever had. The fries were subpar and weren't crispy. For a dollar less, you can get any order without fries. Kalamari - lightly breaded and fried to perfection. One of the best calamari I've never had. It's pricey but worth it! Overall, the fried Kalamari and oysters were exceptional! I would definitely come back for more kalamari, cod, prawns, and oysters and would like to try the clam chowder and scallops sometime.

I would rather be treated rudely than ignored. Why is this my opening comment? Because I love the Greek brothers who love to dish out the borderline insults to me. I was just here and deliberately asked a few dumb questions to raise their ire. They appear to delight in having an opportunity to rudely correct me and question my Intelligence. I do enjoy the fishkabob, that is grilled halibut and prawns, with green peppers and onions. Kalamari is nicely cooked and crunchy. Medium halibut with fries is very good. I have been here 15 times and really like the variety of their offerings. Once, I stood in line during a busy summer day. Got my salmon and chips. The place was packed, so I took our food to go. Found an empty picnic table after much searching. Sat down to eat our well deserved food. Seagull came, perched on the table and stole a big piece of salmon. All in all, a definite Alki Beach experience.

OMG ...sorry Spuds...sorry I always went to you for my fish and chips cravings when I could have been going to SUNFISH!! Such freshness, taste, and abundance. My oysters were as plump as they could be..and the fries perfectly cooked. And! There was this magical vinegar with garlic and peppers and...magic? I put on everything mmm definitely coming back soon.

One of my favorite places for fish and chips. The fish is always battered to perfection which means more fish than batter. The food is always served piping hot. This time I decided to try the oyster basket and it did not disappoint. They were very generous with the portions of fries. I love how they had garlic vinegar on the side which is a game changer. The chowder was what caught me off guard because it was so good and rich. The chowder had tons of clams in it too. The location is nice and they have outside seating so that you can see the water as you eat. The service was lacking where the folks working there were just trying to get through the day. We didn't mind though since it is more of a order, pick up, quick bite and go. Parking will be tough since it is all street parking.

The bomb diggity! Lets get the one negative out of the way. These greek brothers refuse to upgrade their credit card dial up service, so if you're paying by card, wait for that 26k modem to activate, make the phone call to the bank and after like 2 minutes, your payment will go through. This can be painful because a line can form easily because of this. Why is this the best fish n chips around? Particularly the Cod? (Not a fan of Halibut). Its breaded perfectly, no oil and PIPING HOT!!! and Juicy!!! If you got a sensitive mouth, better wait a minute or two before taking that first bite, massive warnings to ya!!! How can it be so hot, yet so juicy and still tender at same time? What type of voodoo is this? Just remember, order the Cod n Chips, we actually always skip the fries, you also get charged less if you say no fries. We only have time for the good stuff, the Cod, the Prawns, Oysters, Chowder etc. We keep meaning to try the skewers, soon, one day. Additionally, the famously sometimes temperamental brothers that own the place seem to have softened up a bit. I never had a problem with them, but I am sure their temperament in the past could have garnered some bad reviews. I'm so glad they survived Covid and the bridge closure. A true GEM!!! Get the Cod!!!
