Baja fish tacos and fried Oreos are a killer combo - makes a local feel like a tourist again! Also come here in the late afternoon to avoid the line ;)

David Houlston

Go here before you go home! Best Fish and Chips in town without doubt. Take time to talk to the owner - she's SO nice. Will be back sometime soon for the real deal - FISH AND CHIPS!

Staff Picks

Fried fish is trending this week and the CodMother will grant your wish of some delicious fish and chips . You should also try the fish tacos and crazy fries while you're in the Codmother's presence.

Mike B

It's worth fighting the throngs of tourists to visit. Fresh fish , her own batter recipe, and fresh oil every day = the best fish and chips in the city . Fried oreos top off an outstanding meal...

Erik Ankrom

This place is busy, so it's tough to find a table. It takes around 20 minutes to get your food. If you want fried Oreos , Twinkies, Snickers , keep that in mind. Great food, worth the wait!

Susanna H

Two of us shared a regular order of fish and chips for lunch and it was plenty. The servings are large. Very tasty, I'm glad we stopped, and would come again.

Mary Llorente

Loved the Baja Fish tacos ! Fish and chips are great as well ..recommend to get the homemade Baja Sauce for $0.75. If you are at Fisherman's Wharf, great for a cheap & satisfying meal!

Eric

Had F&C as well as fish tacos , all of which were awesome -seating is a little tight tho, Jr. size is big enough for most, Crazy fries are a must.

Jessica Lynn Shull

Junior Fish & Chips A-MAZING. She uses fresh Cod , freshly battered and fresh real potatoes for the fries aka chips . Get the Baja sauce ! The owner is wonderful!

Karl Warren

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE. The Fish and Chips are the best outside of London I've ever had. Fried Oreo s for Deseret YUMMY!

Sebastian Maconi

Incredible! Literally the best fish and chips I've ever had. The owner is extremely personable and friendly . Try the malt sauce on your fish !

Kelly Briggs

Amazing! Must try the fish and chips . Everything is made fresh! And definitely ask to speak to the owner- she's so sweet and loves to meet the customers!!

Andrea Piñeiro

The fish and chips was good, also pretty good portions. Upgrade my fries to "fully loaded" but have a strange sauce, and it wasn't my favorite. The fish tacos have too much cabbage and were slyly dry

Amy Widdowson

SO GOOD. Perfect fish and chips , and a welcome respite from Fisherman's Wharf in general. Have the fried oreo and don't ask any questions :)

Rosavel Jazo

Try the deep fried oreos ! Their fish tacos and fish and chips are amazing, if you love them with lime bring your own #mexicangirl

Susie Jendro

Wonderful fish tacos ! A serious gem for this area...inexpensive and fresh. Owner is a fairy codmother indeed. So charming! GO HERE.

Timothy T.

The fish and Stinky chips (parmesan and garlic ) were oily but not heavy and still crispy in the bag after a quick drive to the Marina . Nice flaky cod inside the just right batter was a little salty

Michelle A.

Try the shrimps & chips ! It's a great and cheap place close to fisherman's wharf to get a quick meal .

Rob W

Highly recommended by the tour guides. Mention you heard it from them & get a free fried Snickers or fried Oreo with your purchase of a meal.

Ami K-M

Amazing fish and chips . Come on a warm day and people watch . Ps the owner takes square and is very lovely. :)

Karl Warren

Be aware..the original shack is upgrading soon.....Bigger and Newer facility just a spot or two away..You MUST visit here.

Rob Farley

This place is awesome! The food is great and the staff is super friendly !!!!

Yin Li

If they're busy, the fried fish take a bit. Baja fish tacos over shrimp/plain fish tacos any day.

Charles LI

My British colleague feels the fish is not crisp enough. But I think it's fairly good enough for a Chinese tourist . Go British in the Bay .

Yin Li

The baja shrimp tacos are missable, but the baja fish tacos are definitely well worth it.

Bennett W Wong

Fish & Chips are so delicious, making it a great snack .

Jenny N

One order of fish & chips is large enough to share if you're not starving! Just get there early before they close.

Katrin Seaborg

Fish & Chips were worth the wait. Must have meal located off the beaten path. LOVED it!

ᴡ Johnson

Excellent food! Ask for the local discount . However, asking $.70 for to go orders is crazy

John Haberland

Very, very friendly Brit staff . If you get anything "Baja" you might want the sauce on the side, as they put a lot on.

Brian Lu

It's an out door place with iron table & chairs. Got orders quick. Ordered Large Fish , came out smaller than I expected, but in pretty good quality. Not bad for the price.

Lark Anderson

Fantastic British-style fish and chips joint. Salt 'em and malt 'em like you mean it!

Chris Lee

Get the CodMother Combo (with a side of baja sauce ). You won't regret it.

Kevin Zhang

Shrimp tacos get them! Also of course, the fish and chips !

Angela Millare

The $.75 homemade sauce is worth it. Get it! Great food, good service !

Caitlin Beatty

Be assertive when looking for a place to sit. People will vulture your table before you can sit down.

Anindya Chakraborty

Fish and chips , fish tacos and crazy fries are the best

Julia ????

Believe the hype. Best food near the wharf.

Manu Veth

Fantastic fish and ships. Maybe the best in town .

Carissa C

The fish and chips . We got a shrimp and chips too, but the fish is a lot better.

Aubrey Andrews

Best meal I've ever had-the Baja sauce is incredible

Marvella Villasenor

Fully loaded fries are a great combo with fish !!!

David Coronado

Try the Fried Oreos ! Also best fish tacos in SF.

G

Fish and chips , shrimp and chips , friendly staffs ...

First thing to do: Ask for the spicy sauce .

Deepak Padmanabhan

Must try.. Fish & Chips !

Adam Hickey

While the fish and chips are to die for, go with the Jr. You'll be plenty full.

A S

The Baja sauce is yummy!

Lyria Garcia
