While I'm going to give this place 5 stars, my son would give it 4. On a short trip to SF, I had been looking for some decent fish 'n chips. I found some that just didn't do it for me. However, on our last night in town, we went to Hook. They totally satisfied the fix I was looking for. We arrived just in time for a short break in the rain and they only had patio seating. This would have been a problem but their staff promptly dried off a table and seats for us. Ended up being perfect. I hate to say it, but the only let down was the habanero-carrot hot sauce. It was a beautiful orange and looked SO good! However, it was as thin as water and lacked the heat you'd expect from something labeled as habanero. I think the flavor was ok, but it was so thin it didn't have the chance to stick to anything we were eating. That said, I'd still recommend this place 100%. If I'm in the area again, I'll certainly go back.

Delish fish tacos, has a small outdoor seating area. Not easy to find street parking. Perfection on a warm sunny day like today.

Hook Fish Co. is a cool little counter-style spot with outdoor seating and a fun, lively vibe. I got the fish and chips with black cod—you can choose any of their fish to be battered, which is awesome. The batter was super crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the fish just melted in my mouth. They also have a habanero carrot salsa that you have to try—it adds a sweet heat that takes the fish to the next level. Overall, really great spot for fresh seafood. I loved the fish and chips and definitely want to come back to try their fish burrito—it looked amazing

Such yummy fish in a very cool environment. Walked all day through what felt like the entirety of SF to finish here and delight in the grilled fish of the day platter with rice and veg. The perfect meal. Service was casual and quick. Outdoor seating only with not too many tables, but we were lucky to snag one. My only wish is for more tables. Oh and the habanero carrot hot sauce is unique in its sweet and spicy nature. Yum!

Excellent fish and chips and many other seafood dishes served in a hole-in-the-wall place. It’s hugely popular but the wait is not too bad. You can see the ingredients refrigerated drawers if you stand close enough to the side counter. The gentlemen working the fryer and the grill really know what they are doing.

Some of the best Mexican/seafood places I’ve had let alone in San Francisco. Tiny spot so there isn’t always room to sit but the food makes it worth it. Got the burrito with the fish of the day, the flavors were immaculate. Definitely recommend a visit

I don’t go to SF often because the parking was so terrible! We went out for girls night and chose here as many people recommended! The day of the fish is Rockfish! We love the taco, burritos and salad! We ordered again after we took the 1st round, 2nd round we ordered fish plate. Actually we don’t need to order salad as the fish plate has salad too! Be smart! If you saw many people got the yellow drink, thats the pineapple taste drink (forgot the exactly name) that’s maybe you can order water melon. Be honestly, not the drink I am into. Anyway! Good place for catch up with your friends. So chill, so relax, not one judge you if you eat taco like Chinese! lol Ok! After this, walk over to the cross street, visit black bird bookstore and grabs some books and small items. Check on the review and you will see my post! Enjoy this dinner place!

I have been hearing about this place since I moved here and let me say it is worth the hype! The plates are so good and fresh and I love the proximity to the beach as well. As someone who isn’t too keen on fish, this blew me out of the water! So great!!

Came on a Sunday around 5 pm for a snack. Ordered the 3 piece fish and chips $22. Fish was rockfish. Medium sized pieces. Batter was light and crispy, not excessively oily, very good overall. Fries were decent, maybe half were soggy, generous portion. They also sell sandwiches, oysters, fresh seafood to take home, wine and beer on tap, etc. Self serve water is provided. It's an order at the counter and seat yourself type of place. Outdoor seating only. It may be hard to find a table since they are usually quite busy. Only 1 restroom so plan ahead

Hook Fish was at the top of my San Francisco food list, and it absolutely lived up to the hype—we ended up going twice in 48 hours! The fish and chips were perfect, the fish sandwich was next-level, and the fish tacos? Unreal. We also grabbed the chips and guac, which were simple but insanely fresh, and I’m still thinking about their French fries! The staff was super friendly, and the whole vibe just feels like pure coastal California with a little San Francisco twist. You might have to wait for a table or eat along the perimeter outside, but trust me—it’s worth it. When I say fresh, I mean fresh… we literally walked up as someone was unloading fish straight out of a pickup. Couldn’t recommend this place more! If you miss this place, you’ll regret it.

Took a little while to get the food maybe 15 minutes or so but definitely worth the wait. Expect to spend around $20 a person. No indoor seating and outdoor seating is limited. Love to be able to see the fresh fish.

Hook Fish is an absolute gem. I’m not sure what drove some of these reviewers to be so critical of delicious seafood but maybe they’ll work that out in therapy at some point. Will there be a line? Yes, probably, but it moves pretty fast, and they’re going to give you a little fob that will vibrate when your order is ready, so all you’ll have to do is hang out , have a drink maybe, and enjoy some conversation with friends, or perhaps strangers that are also fresh fish enthusiasts. The poke burrito is as outstanding as it is gigantic. Make sure you try some of that tasty carrot hot sauce they’ve got hanging around too (pro-tip: shake the bottle up first).

Held out on trying this place for too long. The poke burrito is the best I’ve ever had, and it’s HUGE! Worth every penny. The chips and guacamole were also very good. Have yet to try the fish and chips or the fish tacos, which I hear are excellent. Excited to come back. FYI there’s only outdoor seating, and not too much of it so be prepared and dress appropriately.

To start, the service was awesome! Sent all sorts of sauces with our meal! Food is very fresh and flavourful. Great to pick up and take to the beach! My wife said the Oysters were super fresh too!

the fish and chips are my fave! the batter on the fish is light and airy while maintaining crunch. the fish inside is not dry however some days the fish tastes a little juicier than others (maybe it’s the cook time). it gets pretty busy so the seating is often taken, come with at least another person so someone can get a seat while the other gets the food for a better experience!

Hook Fish absolutely lives up to the hype. We ordered the ceviche and chips, poke and chips, poke tacos, and grilled fish tacos—and everything was sooooo fresh and incredibly delicious. This is the kind of seafood that tastes clean, bright, and straight from the ocean. The restaurant is entirely outdoors and super charming, with quirky tables, tons of plants, and a laid-back neighborhood feel. It was a beautiful saturday, which made it the perfect setting to sit outside and enjoy fresh seafood for lunch. It’s counter service, but they do have beer and wine, which is a nice bonus. That said, this place was absolutely slammed. Seating was tough to come by, and since it’s counter service, you’re on your own to find a spot. We ended up eating the ceviche and poke with chips while standing (no photo because we were starving), but honestly, it was still totally worth it. One small downside was that our food came out in chunks (20 mins apart) since my friend and I ordered separately, which was a bit of a bummer. Still, the food is so good that it’s easy to see why this place is always packed. A little patience is required, but the freshness and flavor make it more than worth it. I’d happily go back—ideally with a little more time and luck snagging a table.

Cute spot with some nice outdoor seating! Might have to wait a second for seating to become available tho. Worst comes to worst you can take out and go watch the sunset at ocean beach! The poke burrito was my favourite, the fish and chips were also blessed

Horrible parking and limited signs to get into the place. Could be fun vibes on the outside patio. To-go fish burrito (bass). Fresh ingredients but the fish was unrecognizable.

I stumbled upon Hook Fish while perusing social media. A few IG reels with some Hook Fish eats showed up on my feed. I thought lets give it a shot, since we're headed to the city anyways, more specifically to the Dutch Windmill area of Golden Gate Park. We placed our order at Hook Fish around 1:15 PM on a Sunday afternoon. Nothing elaborate or excessive. We were told to expect a 40 minute wait! Well...it was a bit arduous to back out now, considering we parked three blocks away and walked about 10 minutes, then waited another 10 minutes in line to order. Speaking off...Hook Fish is basically in the middle of the neighborhood, so parking it very challenging. The venue is tiny, no room inside to sit down, it does have an open kitchen where you can see your feed being made. There is a small restroom inside and there is some compact outdoor seating right outside the venue. #HookFish: ~ Fish and Chips - 4/5 Your standard Fish and Chips with seasoned fries. Beer battered with housemade tartar sauce. Good, but not amazing or to die for... ~ Tacos - 4/5 Good Fish Tacos with plenty of things going on... -`Avocado, pico de gallo, pickled slaw, spicy aioli in housemade corn tortillas (order of 2) ~ HABAÑERO CARROT - 5/5 It's all about the Sauce!! This stuff is brilliant! Not too Spicy with a very unique flavor profile. DELISH!! Hook Fish is good, just not not worth a 40 minute to hour plus wait... There are plenty of similar options available. I'd stop by again if the wait wasn't terrible, but I don't fell like missed out on anything if I didn't make it out to Hook Fish...
