Reviews for Pacific Northwest Best Fish Co in Ridgefield, WA

We just moved back this way after 15 years, our first visit, came for fish and chips. I had the cod, wasn’t bad, my husband... had the halibut, much better, just a bit overcooked (dry). The coleslaw wasn’t good at all, may skip trying the tacos. Myhusband loved the clam chowder, for me it was too thick and not enough clams, reminded me of store bought Bear Creek potatosoup. To sit down, you eat in the pub, most likely this would be a to-go establishment for us. One thing I regret, was tippingin advance at 18%; I always pick the lower option when having to do in advance; never fails, they don’t have to work for it.Your things come in to go containers in a bag you have to disassemble, quickly dropped off and gone, not even a smile.Whenhaving to get up and ask a question at the bar, the woman was too concerned with her conversation, matter of fact all you heardin the place, but was made pretty obvious you were interrupting. Anyway, I usually tip 10% for to-go orders, pretty sure you canchange to a custom option, would be the extent of what I’d do, although, had I known, I wouldn’t have tipped at all. Theguys in the fish market were very nice, we will definitely come back to give dinner supplies a try… Read more

The food was great! I ordered the Cod fish and chips and they did not disappoint! The only reason I gave them four stars out of... five was because the cleanliness left something to be desired. There was dried ketchup all over our table and we had to ask tohave it cleaned. That aside however, the experience was great! Read more

Got the Halibut fish and chips (aka house special). With tax it's a little over $18+tips. Fish was good, bit on the dry side.... Shoe string fries were good too. Expected a bit more wow factor given all the reviews but overall, it's a solid fish and chips. As everyone noted, tartar sauce was good. Areas of improvement: - A bit more slaw would be nice, it's about 3-4 fork bites -Fork could be sturdier.. Either the fish was really dry and tough or that fork was really flimsy. Read more

An hour wait for my food order but it was def worth the long wait. Best halibut and chips I’ve ever eaten and I didn’t have... to drive to the coast. I love their breading and how it’s not beer battered. Fries was perfect—crunchy, and not greasy.Great prices for their seafood options. Highly recommend PNW Best Fish Co to anyone looking for quality. Read more

Let me start by saying I have always loved this place for at least 15 years, maybe 20. Best halibut anywhere and while some... think their fries are too thin, they are crispy and really good. Service is always great for me, even when busy. But the recentinflation has impacted my value vs. quality vs. experience to the point where I probably won't return for a long while. My'healthier' go-to is always the halibut tacos but the recent price spike makes them $7 each w/o fries. One taco had two small(quarter sized) pieces of halibut and the other had three (more normal). They were stuffed with cole slaw/cabbage, etc. but at$7 each for essentially street tacos, I can't have the same experience and feel good about the value. The halibut and chipsprices soared as well. I know it's not their fault and I still love this place and their friendly service but I'm priced out.Their store is also the best I've found for shellfish, fish, etc. as well. Prices have skyrocketed there too. Sad for therestaurants and consumers due to inflation. Read more

Was really looking forward to trying the halibut and chips here for a while based on reviews. The service is was friendly,... expedient. The food pretty good but I didn’t feel was worth the prices advertised. A two piece and fries with a small clamchowder was nearly 30 bucks. The fish was nice, hot and crispy, flaky inside. Clam chowder was nice and hot, very thick, a bitscant on the clams but overall I enjoyed it. Only complaint is the fries, which I would just completely skip given thatthey’re smaller than shoestring and seemed overcooked. It tastes like fried dough they give you a LOT of it which is a shamecos I threw more than half away. Steak fries would be a welcome addition, even a baked potato would be nice.. Read more

I can understand why this café keeps winning Best Seafood in Clark County. The halibut fish and chips are perfectly cooked!... Thick, tasty, well-battered. I really like the fries as well, they're super crispy. They have an outdoor patio to sit at whichis surprisingly pretty clean. The employees provide great service and are super sweet, plus the food comes out quickly. It's abit out of the way if you don't live in Ridgefield but well worth trying out. Highly recommended!

I can't honestly say much about the store, as I've only eaten at the outdoor café, but the café is great! The halibut fish and... chips have always been cooked to perfection and they don't skimp on the tartar sauce. The halibut comes in nice hefty fillets,with a wonderfully crispy crust. Great fish tacos too. The only thing that's kind of a bummer is how full the parking lot cansometimes get (it's shared by a few businesses), but we've always been lucky enough to find a spot. When I'm in the mood forfish and chips in this area, this is the first place I think of. Read more
