Tugboat Fish & Chips

The food is excellent. I've been coming here since I moved back to Sacramento a little over a year ago. The food never disappoints and the service is always fast friendly and consistent!! Many years ago when I worked in the area, I came on my lunch break when the mom and dad were here. Back in the 90's. Now the brother and sister are here and sometimes the kids help out too. It's a warm friendly family business. It's always a pleasure seeing them and I come at least twice per week. I never ever have to wonder what my food will taste like. It is always the same percent of the time. I have a very sensitive stomach and everything is always fresh great quality and hot !!! Portion sizes are generous as well. So delicious. It's a classic old school Tug Boat Fish & Chips, not many of them around anymore. This location is by far the very best. Plenty of ample parking. So happy that they are still with us for many generations. Give them a try you'll be hooked just like I am!

It's that good! It's my first time here and I got to tell you, I was not disappointed. So much so after eating my meal,just now, I had to write my review! I called in my order 3 mins after they opened and the food was ready in no time! ( I ordered a 3 pc fish dinner and an extra pc on the side) The lady there was friendly and efficient. As soon as I got home to open bag, I was greeted with large fish filets! I took my first bite and man! The batter was so light and airy. The fish was perfectly cooked and the tartar sauce had a great balance. ( I'm not sure if the tartar sauce was made in house, but it was really good and creamy.)Needless to say, I am so happy that I came across this place. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out on one of the best fish and chip places! I'll definitely be back !

This was my go to fish and chips spot. I hadn't been in while, but went last weekend and it was still good. Nice big pieces of fish and and nice sized prawns. They make their own tartar sauce, it's different, but good. I noticed they now have catfish, I got a piece and it was good, but looks like it was cut in half, gotta give the whole piece catfish is supposed to be meaty. Definitely going back.

Haven't been here in a bit but it does deserve some mention and praise. If your looking for that classic fish and chips crispy salty huge pieces ...yup this the one ...and the jumbo shrimps are big and delicious oh and don't Miss out on the hush puppies no matter what!!

I've been going here since I was in middle school. Place really is that good. 2 piece fish and clams w/ a shrimp basket is the move. I drive 40 minutes out of my way just to go to this location.

The Tugboat Fish & Chips is a small establishment that offer the fry arts (fish, oysters, clams, shrimp, and more). Crispy with a lemon zest and a choice of seafood cocktail or tartar sauce. Don't forget the monk vinegar. It is a great hole in the wall with great family service. Occasionally you will see their kids do homework at one of the small tables inside. The walls are decorated with pictures of fish, sharks, and more. But you are not here for the ambiance, but you are here for the food. The prices are the best in town. A must to be a regular here, and a place where they know your name and order.

Craving fish n chips this is the place on Folsom Blvd north of Sunrise Ave. Quality food, I had the fish w/prawns and my wife had fish w/ oysters. We go here every time we're in the area craving fish n chips.

Great food, service and prices! Love that it seems like a small family owned place. Definitely going to be coming here more often

My husband and I went for a quick lunch here on a Tuesday . The place was absolutely filthy. Dirty counter, dirty kitchen, dirty tables, dirty restroom....not just dirty but really black with soot, kitchen grease and perhaps black mold on ceiling tiles. Food was typical of it's kind...ok but heavily breaded. Will travel further and go to one on Sunset.

Not welcoming. Not familiar with the area, I googled for fish and chips and found this location in Fair Oaks.The counter person took our order, I had to ask for additional napkins and for a knife to cut the fish! When I requested another container to place my fries (which were under the fish) not wanting to have vinegar on my fries, I received a very small cardboard tray. It felt like each request was a burden with no smiles! The fish was acceptable.When I requested a to go tray, I was handed a paperbag rather than a cardboard (disposable) tray. Will not go there again.
