AMAZING
1st FISH AND CHIPS
Wild Fish Restaurant, Pacific Grove
Two filets of local wild rock cod, local organic russet chips, house tartar sauce. Fish? Excellent. Tartar sauce, malt vinegar and house ketchup? Excellent. Chips? Addictive. What an amazing dish.
2nd FISH & CHIPS - HADDOCK
The Auld Chip Shop, Burbank
Great fish and chips! It's very rare to get good french fries, especially with fish and chips, but these were amazing. They are hand cut and seasoned with kosher salt. My husband absolutely love the fries and it just made the whole dish that much better. Good tartar sauce too.
3rd FISH & CHIPS - COD
The Auld Chip Shop, Burbank
My husband preferred the cod to the haddock. I thought they were very similar in taste and I liked the size of the haddock a little more. Great fish and chips!

4th FISH AND CHIPS
Broad Street Oyster Company, Malibu
Crispy batter that is actually flavored! I don't know if this is better than The Auld Chip Shop. I guess I'll have to go back again to compare! Tartar sauce was unique and herbaceous, but not my favorite. The chips were decent.
REALLY GOOD
5th FISH & CHIPS - HADDOCK (LUNCH SPECIAL)
The Auld Chip Shop, Burbank
The lunch special is a smaller portion and a lower price served from 12-3 every day. The fish is amazing - perfectly crisped, flaky and tender meat...The chips were NOT amazing this time. ☹️ The fish could be #1 on this list, but only with the great fries we had last time. I like the haddock more and my husband prefers the cod.

9th FISH & CHIPS
Newhall Refinery, Santa Clarita
Tender inside, crunchy outside, yummy tartar... A little greasy, but tasty to the last bite.
9th FISH & CHIPS
Newhall Refinery, Santa Clarita
Substituted the onion rings for their French fries. The coleslaw and tartar sauce were really good. It was a little cumbersome, so it was a little difficult to eat at times.
10th FISH AND CHIPS
The Cat & Fiddle Pub & Restaurant, Los Angeles
Excellent chips and batter. The outside was great, but there was some undercooked batter next to the fish that was mushy. As usual, there is no seasoning on the fish, but great seasoning on the fries!
11th FISH AND CHIPS
HQ Gastropub, Los Angeles
It's really good. Great batter an excellent french fries. It's a small portion of fish though. An excellent tartar sauce would have raise the rating more
12th FISH, SHRIMP AND CHIPS
Hook'd Fish Grill, Los Angeles
Good. Not as good as H.Salt, but the fries are great! Comimentary cocktail sauce and tartar sauce
13th FISH AND CHIPS
Humboldt Bay Bistro, Eureka
Tempura battered cod. Crispy and tender. Spicy aioli was good.
PRETTY GOOD
14th BEER BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS
Dargans Irish Pub & Restaurant, Ventura
Harp beer battered Alaskan cod. It was a little sweet... that was unusual. Not bad, just different
15th FISH AND CHIPS
Eric's On The Pier, Avalon
My husband really liked how crunchy the batter was, but I wasn't too impressed.
16th FISH AND CHIPS
California Fish Grill, Los Angeles
Large serving. The tartar sauce is really good
19th OH MY COD! FISH AND CHIPS COMBO
Duke's Seafood, Tacoma
Panko breaded cod and clam Chowder. Everything was just fine
22nd FISH AND CHIPS
Claim Jumper Restaurants, Los Angeles
Batter was just ok and tartar sauce was flavorless. Fries was amazing though, so I'll post them separately
23rd KOLSCH BATTERED FISH & CHIPS
Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery, Long Beach
Kölsch - battered Cod, Santa Fe fries, apple coleslaw, housemade Cajun remoulade. Fish was ok but the fries were horrible.
24th FISH
Northridge Fish & Chips, Los Angeles
This is another h Salt fish and chips. Apparently all locations are now serving these tiny pieces of fish. I wouldn't mind if they were just smaller because I would just buy more. The problem is that they're so thin, especially as it tapers on one side, that the fish can't survive being deep fried. The tapered parts become fish jerky. And they are not cheap. Not worth coming back.
NOT FOR ME
25th FISH
H Salt Fish & Chips, San Fernando
I was so excited to review this as the number 1 fish and chips. These have always been my favorite. Over the years, the fillet has gotten smaller, but has always been the best guilty pleasure. The chips are trash... always have been. But this time, the fish was terrible. Totally fried to death. So thin inside on the tapered side that they were inedible. I was so disappointed. Is this an isolated incident, or is H Salt just done? Thankfully, their tartar sauce is good enough to eat on a shoe.
26th FISH AND CHIPS
Papa Juan’s Baja Grill, San Fernando
Small pieces of fish. Batter was not crisp and there was uncooked batter inside in places where the fish was thinner. The fries had a good seasoning on it. Their tartar sauce is not as good as H Salt.
