“TLDR: It's the most reliable fish and chip store. I've tried this place at various times in a more than 5 year span and it has always been good. Can and will always recommend. Fish: Batter isn't too thick, and the fish has a flaky solid bite. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside with seasoning that won't overpower the mouth. Shrimp: The same solid battering with the same seasoning profile. Shrimp was not overcooked and it provides a different texture compared to the fish. Fries: Fries are fries. It's nothing special, but they didn't mess it up. Clam Chowder: Rich, creamy, loaded with seafood, and it can surprisingly compete with the better clam chowders around town. Service: It's a food truck. You order, you pay, and you get your food. It's not hard to mess it up. Ambiance: The picnic benches under the umbrellas around the truck isn't bad given the San Francisco climate. The tables are sometimes sticky though because they're probably not wiped as much.“
“Everything was made to order. The Fish was fresh and the Tempura style batter deliciously crispy. I was in SF from Scotland and have ate plenty of Fish & Chips at home and during my trip and this was definitely the standout of all the places I tried in SF. I can not understand some of the other reviews about blandness. It's battered Fish & Chips folks.. and excellent at that.Portion Sizes excellent with plenty of fresh and crispy fries.“
“We came to eat dinner at California Fish Market Restaurant because of seafood cravings and saw their menu had several seafood items. It didn't disappoint! First of all, the service was spectacular. The server gave us a lot of attention and even double checked whether or not one of the items (a roe pasta) we ordered would be okay for us after describing it. He offered to switch it out in case we didn't like it (we didn't have to - it was delicious).We ordered some raw miyagi oysters, the scallop crudo, a lobster roll, and a fish roe pasta. Everything was tasty. The lobster roll had a slight spicy kick to it, which was a bit different than I expected.The restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, with indoor and outdoor table seating as well as a bar area. Parking can be a little tough in the North Beach area but you can find parking if you don't mind walking a bit. Overall, good experience and would come back.Parking: Street parking around the neighborhood, mostly metered but free after 6pm and on Sundays.“
“I am in awe with this place! We love oysters and seafood and have eaten in so many raw and oyster bars in the city of SF but this is the best place!! The variety, freshness and price of the oysters has no rival, the wine list is pretty good. The peruvian ceviches are simply delicious and the king is the cioppino for sure! What a pleasant surprise to find such an excellent cioppino, it was just perfect. Extremely generous portion, perfect for 2 people, flavorful, fresh seafood and fish, steaming, full of herbs... This is our go to place now on for everything seafood in the city. The place is really cute and the service is phenomenal.“
“Fish N chips and ice cold beer!Generous portions and very friendly staff. Small place but quick service with a small bar seating option. My friend and I shared an order of fish and chips and it was enough to satisfy. The fish tasted fresh and the batter was light, which I appreciate. I would've liked the fish a little more seasoned but easily fixed with all the condiments they have at the tables.“
“Went for breakfast yesterday. Kindest staff I have encountered in SF. Seriously. The food was affordable for the city, and my partner and I both really enjoyed the breakfast we got! Eggs cooked perfectly, sandwich tasted fantastic. If you need more salt or ketchup they provide that for you! She walked the food out to us, and I will repeat myself: kindest service I’ve received in the city. Thank you :) My one regret is not being able to stay in the area longer.“
“I love grilled Tuna and this place did not disappoint. But little things here and there could be improved. Initially I was positively surprised by the price, but when I saw the portions sizes it makes sense. Read; they are small. The thinnest slice of tuna I even had. That said the taste is good. A little slow service (but it could be a good thing, give food is cooked right on the spot). And it was annoying that they only had one restroom for men, which was busy for so ling I gave up and went to Target.Parking: Good number of spots, a little crowded.“
