Get Your Seafood Fix At This Local Favorite Fish House In Oregon

There are countless seafood joints along the coast but if you're in the mood for a casual, delicious, and simple seafood meal, family-owned South Bay Wild Fish House in Astoria is your go-to spot.

This unique restaurant serves fresh, Oregon coast-caught fish. In fact, the restaurant owners also operate a commercial fishing vessel that sources its high-quality sustainable seafood. On my visit, I tried the fish tacos, salad, and fish and chips, all of which were stellar. I will definitely return!

South Bay Wild Fish House is a few blocks from the heart of Astoria's downtown.

This innovative business is doing its part to right the craziness of the current fishing industry where, according to South Bay Wild Fish House, 90 percent of seafood harvested in the United States is exported, while 80 percent of what Americans consume is shipped in.

Eat local instead! Taste the difference! From crispy, tender fish and chips to tangy tuna melts, you’ll taste the difference.

There's ample seating both at the bar, in the main dining room, and upstairs.

This is a family-friendly spot where everyone can find something they'll enjoy on the menu.

Starters include crab and shrimp cocktails, crab and shrimp cakes, poke, clam chowder, and oysters.

South Bay Wild Fish House is known for their assortment of fried fish, including calamari, rockfish, sole, shrimp, scallops, and oysters.

Don't forget to try the fantastic fish tacos.

Fish can be grilled or fried — and is delicious when served on a salad.
