Tin Fish Oceanside Reviews
Acai and dragon fruit bowls were both excellent and its hard to beat $5 fish tacos in the middle of the day.
Great food! We have to get fish tacos here every time we're at the pier. Food is fantastic and big portions. Even more wonderful, while I was eating with my family, one of the workers came out with some free samples of new sweet treat creations for us to try! Truly memorable and delicious experience!
As someone who travels a lot and has tried fish & chips in many well-known places, I can confidently say this is among the best in the U.S. – if not the very best. The fish is incredibly delicious, perfectly fried, and served with a stunning view of the ocean. What truly elevates the meal is their sauce; when you mix it with ketchup and hot sauce, it transforms the dish into something unbelievably tasty. The staff is friendly, attentive, quick, well-organized, and clean, and the food quality is simply excellent. I highly recommend this place – the flavors are unforgettable, and it’s easily one of the finest fish & chips experiences I’ve ever had in America. Highly recommended!
Brought the family to the Tin Fish for dinner. It was delicious and HUGE! The fish was perfectly fried. Tender and delicious. NOT a beer batter which I like. The waffle fries were good and plentiful. The shrimp and calamari were cooked perfectly and paired well with all of the house made sauces. We had so much food that we had to take boxes home and had a whole extra meal for the next day! The kicker is, for everything being fried, it WAS NOT GREASY. This means they change their oil and cook at the right temps! Finished the meal off with some smoothies, ice cream and one of the best churros I've had in a long time! Plenty of cinnamon and sugar. The place was clean the staff was very friendly. I'm definitely looking forward to going back to try some other stuff and that cheeseburger burrito.
This place is always amazingly delicious. I always get the colossal cod sandwich, and my kids get the chicken nuggets or the fish and chips, and they enjoy them. Afterward, we wash em down with some delicious milkshakes. Shout out to the fryer Noah combs for frying up some delicious flaky yet moist COD. Keep up the good work!!!
One of our favorite spot ! Every year we came here to relax ! I i am in love with Oceanside and my Daughter love to try the locals food trucks! This is one where we return with pleasure and this year the food was much tasty & Better! They make all Fresh and I am happy not so many frozen products ! The chef Daniel surprised me with this Burger ! The place is improving every year ! Much clean , much better We hope u keep it this way ! Thank you for the best Burger
This place is conveniently located right underneath the bridge and deck. Lots of other things around this area as well. Prices were $12 to $25 per plate. I ordered their clam chowder in a sourdough bowl which was great. Their double stuffed fish tacos weren’t actually a taco but just a bunch of fish on a large tortilla, like a fish burrito just not wrapped.
We were there yesterday and had dinner for my husband's 42nd birthday. The man who took our order was so nice and gave us a discount and then I ended up giving it right back to him in a tip. Our food was so good and made fast too so we didn't have to wait very long. We were starving so we were glad about that too. We decided that Tin Fish will be our go to spot in Oceanside each time we visit there. Glad we got there when we did because the line got long as we were eating which proved how amazing they truly are. Thank you Tin Fish! 🐟🐠🎏🎣🐡
A great place that kinda is setup like a beach/pier restaurant. Everything on the menu is good. Though the cheeseburger burrito is only served in the morning (because of eggs), so I was disappointed that I couldn't order that. But the family was happy and it was good. I'd like to try and the Fish and chips, as I had the burger. It was like any other burger, but still good.
So I'm from the Midwest and don't eat on the beach often, but retirees on the boardwalk recommended the place. My fish was cooked really well. Good fries and cold slaw and enjoyed the vanilla milkshake. Menu has lots of options with different sized portions. Picnic tables were all clean. Staff was friendly. Would recommend.
I get my favorite fish tacos here. They are still good after all these years, but a bit better in 2011. I've tried other tacos in the past but the fish taco is my favorite. The best part is they are still affordable. Did I mention it's right on the beach?! The rough and tumble crowd has gotten a bit more rough lately, so you are at a disadvantage if you are there alone.
Update:11/17/2023 still good!!! The Tin Fish was surprisingly delicious I had a massive fish taco (cod). The location is superb. The staff is nice and friendly. The service is fast and you don't have to wait to long for the your order to be called up. I really enjoyed the taco on a flower tortilla with the white creme salsa and cheddar.
I used to reccomend people for the large portion and their original fish taco. Unfortunately Portions have shrunk for the fish taco over the past 6 months. More expensive than most restaurants feet away. Unfortunate that prices went up and portions went down. I'd recommend the harbor for large fish tacos now
been a customer since you open your doors. the food was top notch. always perfectly seasoned and cooked. being the son of a seafood chef i fell in love with your food. and its been a while sinse i got an order from you. yesterday i was looking for a seafood dinner that i could trust, and came upon your stablishment. disappointment hit me on the first bite. the shimp was overcooked and overseasoned. i just got home from from heart surgery so salt wasnt what i expected. it seems that the longer restaurants are in businees the quality of their food goes to hell . and yours took that turn. in my opinion whoever you have running your kitcken doesnt give a darn about what you started. overcooked and overseasoning is a sign of not caring, you should start over . cause right now your food does not reflect the care and taste of your earlier sucess.
