J J Fish and Chicken

Update: Family members who were able to eat their meals ended up becoming sick. Once again, patronize them at your own risk.

I like J.J.Fish but all J.J.Fish are Not created equal. The best is San Lorenzo, then East Oakland, then on International Blvd. , downtown Oakland and then San Francisco trailing behind. I no longer live in the East Bay so mostly I go to the San Francisco store. I love fish and so when very hungry, too late to cook .., there I go. I take a chance. They are painfully inconsistent. If their manager is not there?? Good luck, trial and error. When they are 'right' it's hard to mess up fish. They have issues with cooking oysters. Either, overcooking or not done. But, sometimes the oil is too old. By the time you get there late evening.But, when they are good they are GOOD and that is how they hook you to go back ... lolTheir service is decent. You can eat in the store. Handicap accessible.

I'm sorry but jj fish is nasty , the chicken was old and dry and I never complain about food like I usually suck it up and eat it , seriously, but the chicken was hot but seemed overall cooked and old like dark meat is not suppose to be dry dry , I order the 333 order of wings , teigh, and legs , I only ate one wing and broke into the rest of the food and it was all dryyyy and the oil sat on the shciken like it was old , event the bread was hard , its a easy pass for me

Food is consistently good, service is fast and the portions are generous. Keep it up!

I love their crab. I've had it at JJ's in Oakland and Stockton. It's served in a roasting pan with rice. I prefer it without rice or rice on the side.

***3.5 Stars***Here comes JJ's with that fried fish and shrimp!!! It is quite smackin' if I shall say so myself. Traditionally, I'm more of a beer battered and tempura fried fish kinda gal. But JJ's?! Yeah... they can get it. They just need to tone down all of that damn salt and we'll be cool. Stopped by for dinner about a month ago and I made it in line before the crowd came in. I ordered ahead but they still make you stand in the same line as the walk-ins. Not the best setup here, but what can you do? People were social distancing while waiting in line which was good, but of course the line was out the door. Took a while to get to the register but got my food as soon as I got up there. The lady at the register is also the same person answering the phones too. They could definitely benefit from having another body back there to help. Ordered the fried shrimp and fish combo and the portions were nice and big. Both were nicely battered and tasted relatively fresh. But damn, waaaay too much salt on them thangs. Like a whole salt shakers worth. Next time I'll ask them to tone down the salt if they can do it. They give you hella fries but they're average. I don't think they have cocktail sauce here. Definitely ask for extra tartar because they're kinda skimpy with it. They have all kind of desserts here too. One of the ladies that I was talking to in line told me that all of their desserts were the bomb. She recommended the banana pudding and of course I ordered it. When it comes to banana pudding, you ain't got to tell me twice! That sh*t was SOOOOOOO damn gooood! Mmm mm MMM! Them nilla wafers, that creamy puddin'. Yep, homegirl put me up on game. The damn dessert was better than the fish and chips! If I was in the area and had a craving for that pudding, I'd come back here pronto. But anyways, the fish and chips were still good. Not the best, but better than many other places that I've been to (minus all of the salt). Oh yeah, I should probably mention that the parking lot was full and this place is in the hood. But, don't let that deter you. Just park illegally like everyone else did and avoid the nutcases that try to approach you on your way in and out of there (shrugs shoulders). Would I come back again? I would if I was in the area and had a craving for the frieds and/or that puddin'.

Well the fish was delicious. Be prepared to give 1 or 2 needy people in the parking g lot a few dollars

The food was nasty no flavor and the fish was fishy asf chicken was hella dry the fries was all stuck together and yeah no I won't ever be going back

I have gone here a few times, but this last time will definitely be the last. I heard of the six piece, wings and fries. The wings are so small I've seen bigger, wings and pigeons. We also ordered a gizzard meal. Come on now this is the cheapest part of the chicken and you get eight little gizzards definitely not coming back it's not the same place it used to be. I have no idea if they changed ownership or just plain bad management can't blame the employees. They only serve with the owner's order.

Came by two days ago got some sole w/shrimp the cook is very good thank you I brought my we a couple of lunches and enjoyed
