Barbara's Fishtrap

I know it's been said a million times before but GET THE CLAM CHOWDER . It's transcendentally good. Also get the catch of the day and maybe some calamari . Everything is great there.

Probably the homiest clam chowder I've ever had. It's not super heavy and is filled with hearty vegetables and super generous portion of clams . Fish and chips were perfectly crisp. Both award winners!

1 chowder bowl big enough for 2-3 people to split. Best fish and chips I've ever had. Super tender fish that flakes apart as you eat it!

Homier and more casual than nearby Sam's. Fish and chips and chowder are good, but seafood grill is also worth trying. Sit out front on warm days; it gets steamy inside.

Getting the Barbara’s Fishtrap Special and a bowl of clam chowder is plenty of food for 2 people, and gives you a little bit of everything!

Best and freshest Fish & Chips you'll ever have. The fish is so juicy and the fries are very tasty. The Dungeness Crab Sandwich is also amazing!

Their crab and salmon burger combos are soooo gooood! A MUST TRY when there. A little pricey , but worth it. And they have seating beachside as well ????☀???????? ✨????

Never heard of this place but was driving by and saw the line so figured it was good. So few places sell fried clam strips and these were THE BEST. Will be back for more

It’s always crowded . It’s worth the wait. Eat inside or outside. The fried zucchini is yummy. The fish and chips are great.

get the clam chowder (one of best I have ever had) and crab sandwich . grab a table outside overlooking the ocean and beach

Get the Smoked Salmon in cream sauce . It is the perfect chest day meal!

The portions are huge. This is the wedge salad (no bacon ). It had a ton of dressing . Ask for light dressing .

There is a restaurant and a take-out section. Get the fried calamari and bowl of clam chowder .

Chicken nuggets shaped like mcD for the kiddos. Ha. Fish n chips is good. Clam chowder is very nice and dairy free.

My waitress was super nice and the food was great! How I love seafood ... Reminds me of the Oceanside seafood restaurants in Florida.

The grab n go window is amazing. Grab chowder and walk down the pier area and find a cozy spot to watch the sunset .

Fish & Chips ! So light and great batter.

Try Barbara's Coastside Calamari with fries . Excellent and filling. Enjoy a refreshing iced tea to go with your meal, and for dessert a slice of key lime pie .

Large portions , super fast service and seating.

Best fish and chips I've ever had, if the wait for a table is too long you can order it at the outdoor stand and eat on the beach .

Good place if you love fried food. Skip the crab sandwich

Seafood is fresh here, just be aware that the large portions you see for most of their fried items aren't matched by their pricier , steamed (albeit fresher) counterparts.

Even though the food could be more interesting, it's worth taking takeaway and eat on the beach right by the restaurant .

Get your food from the to-go window. Great if you want some seafood by the beach . Try the chowder to start!

Fish trap sampler always great for two people but get a bowl of claim chowder too :)

Order from the outside to go window and sit at the picnic tables . Great views of the harbor .

Exquisite seafood in a casual place with great view of the bay

Cash only . Portions are somehow small but the food is good.View in unbeatable

The steamed mussels and steamed clams are both very good and generous servings , but fries accompanying are not.

Large portions . I had the fish and chips and could not finish it all. 5 stars.

Get the crab Louie and the mini fish trap !

Bring cash. No cards accepted

People please, before recommending clam chowder here, Learn what clam chowder is really about and tastes like

The Dungeness crab sandwich is a must!!

Fish / Chips Rock and Salmon Burger are excellent.

Tempura artichoke hearts and dairy free clam chowder

The best seafood joint I've been going to in Half Moon Bay

Very quaint little restaurant with great clam chowder in a bread bowl .

Best fish and chips you will ever have

The clam chowder & crab Louis ate the best. If your in the mood for fried the mini fish trap is the way to go

BEST FISH AND CHIPS!! Yum yum yummy!! :) nice staff and cute , clean little place. (ps: big servings )

Fantastic spot, secret tip - get calamari & fish & chips at the to go window and find a spot at the beach to avoid the weekend crowds!

The portions are huge. Here is the wedge salad (no bacon ).

Great place! The calamari is awesome !

Crab sandwich good, clam chowder ok... very clammy

The sautéed scallops and coleslaw are amazing!

Great senior’s lunch menu Monday-Friday.

You pay for the waterfront seat. Pricey , mediocre food and they don't accept credit cards. You have better options close by.

Fish n chips is my fave. Chowder is awesome too.
