Fishwife Seafood Restaurant

Amazing food! Fresh ingredients, beautifully plated Cajun fish salad and deep fried fish and chips that tasted delicious! Service was amazing as well. Friendly and attentive staff who offered their service with a smile. We will be back!

I love The Fishwife. It's a cool, hole-in-the-wall spot right off Lombard with a great new neon sign. The atmosphere is always chill, whether you're dressed up or just off work.But every time I leave, I'm annoyed. My boyfriend loves it because it's close, but I always feel ripped off. The food isn't pricey, but it's inconsistent. The steelhead, for example, is $26. Sometimes it's perfect, sometimes it's too salty, and today it was dry and flavorless.There are highlights though. Their ranch dressing is the best ever, and I hate beets, but their homemade beets on the house salad are amazing. The garlic mashed potatoes and veggies are always top-notch.Today's visit was off. The usual servers weren't there, and the service was only so-so without them. (I'm sorry, not trying to be mean, it was busy but our table was never pre-bussed). Fishwife, I'll be back - but not on a Friday. Love you, despite your consistent inconsistencies.

Good local place, super fresh fish... though reflected in the prices. Half price wine on Tuesdays is makes it worth it ... nice to have a casual local restaurant with such great food.

4 and a half stars for the price, service, and location.Good quality food and decent portion for what you get in a fish place.Place looks pretty historic, 50s/60s looking decor and age all around.Lots of locals of various ages here.. mainly older as I believe a lot of them are neighborhood regulars since they were kids and have came here for years.Cioppino I got had a light tasting broth, but the fishes such as catch of the day salmon, scallops, shrimp were pretty fresh.. if only their scallops were biggerWife's Captain Platter type dish was perfectly executed with light batter of scallops, oysters, scallops, cod.. very addictive.. butThey have the best waffle fries.. tasted like something McDonald's would taste like

Food was all fantastic. I had been wanting to go and it did not disappoint. I wil laterally be back. I had the scallops in white wine and the whole dish was seasoned well and had great flavor.

My honey and I were out and about enjoying ourselves in a different part of town and ended up here. This is one of those classic fish fry restaurants you find in the north east and on the Oregon coast, with the same expected decor. Somehow, everything was better--you could also choose non-fried options, so we ordered a blackened cod dinner and a cajun fish sandwich. The sandwich came with your choice of coleslaw or potatoes and we got the waffle fries which were really good. My cod came with a dinner, salad, and the vegetable of the day, which were brussels sprouts tossed in a mustard cream sauce.The service was awesome, and everybody checked in on us, not just our main server. It's family run restaurant, and they clearly take a lot of pride in their efforts. For example, there was not even a hint of fry oil in the seating area, despite the fact that , it's an open kitchen

Halibut Bleu, do it thank me later. Great staff, oldskool vibe. Fresh ingredients and people who care!

Don't sleep on this place. It's chill, simple, and kind of a hole in the wall but the food truly packs a punch. They have daily specials, alcohol, and dessert. Big menu selection and some amazing chowder!!I've had the chicken and dumplings both times I've visited. Can't help it. It's out of this world. Excellent favors-thyme and rosemary stand out with a nice hit of salt. Carrots are perfectly tender and the biscuits are melt in your mouth perfect. Calamari is truly great and has a nice dip to go with it. Nice crunchy breading on it. Will go back again for sure.

Delicious fresh flavorful seafood! We had the Seafood combo Cod, little bay scallops, shrimp, and oysters, with green beans, and garlic mashed potatoes. I had a side salad. We also had the Calamari which was lightly coated and served with a house made sauce. The food was DELICIOUS, the waitress was very kind. We definitely will be back, even though we live all the way in the Beaverton area. It was a cute small 1 room with a few tables, small parking out back, down an alley.

The food is great. The prices, not so much. Seriously, how do you justify $35 for a piece of halibut in a place that looks like a run down Cracker Barrel?? Do better.
