What People Are Saying About Sunfish

In Short – Located on the farthest reaches of busy Alki Avenue, where the traffic starts to wane and the crowds start to thin, the restaurant is often overlooked. Try the fish kebabs, speared chunks of grilled halibut and veggies. The fried fish is offered as single pieces or as combos, and has a crumbly batter. Picnic tables outdoors are a rare commodity in the summer months.

Much better than Spuds!

by chaig

Sunfish is so much better than Spuds, the fish was cooked perfectly, the oysters were very fresh, not like the frozen tasteless oysters at Spuds, clam chowder was good although I didn't get a lot of clams in mine, my least favorite was the prawn. They also have good looking salads, too! I will not ever go back to Spuds after having found this place.

  • Pros: Fresh seafood
  • Cons: parking

Perfect Clam Chowder

by djolly

I've always been a Spud's fan, love the chowder and french fries. Then I read some good reviews on Sunfish, so I had to run down and try it today. Spud's vs Sunfish. The chowder was exceptional! It had so many full clams in there, I was in clam heaven and didn't want my large bowl to end. The fish wasn't greasy, it was lightly battered and delicious. Unfortunately the french fries were undercooked and slightly cold, but everything else was so good that it made up for it. Regarding the grumpy service I also read about, I found it more amusing than upsetting. Just giving him a smile and a comment about his picture on the wall and I got a warm smile and fish delivered directly to my table. He seemed like a softy underneath that furrow.

The only Fish and Chips you'll ever need.

by jenava

I first went here on the recommendation of my boss (a foodie) who raved about their calamari. Their calamari is still my favorite on the menu, although I like the fried oysters, too. I went to Spuds up the street once and it absolutely doesn't compare. The only people who go to Spuds are the ones who haven't discovered Sun Fish yet!

  • Pros: Delicious seafood.
  • Cons: Greek brothers who own the place can be grumpy sometimes...but you get used to it.
