“ This was my first time visiting Tin Fish. The food was delicious, and the price was great. What made it top tier for me was the fact that I ordered a beef patty by itself with no seasoning because I had my dogs with me, and without me I even saying anything they cut the patty into pieces for my doggies! This is what OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE is! Definitely recommend this restaurant!! ”
“ One of my kids favorite "fried seafood" place located conveniently by the beach. Good ambiance with fast service. ”
“ We're big fans of Tin Fish, so on our recent getaway to Oceanside, we started with lunch at the pier. Tin Fish is a great choice! We each ordered fish & chips, and I added the calamari to my order. Everything was tasty. ”
“ During my travels to Cali I like to stop at Tin Fish, and then go walk to Pier. The fish is fresh and taste delicious. Over the years the price just increases which is outrageous now. 2 tacos usually covers my appetite. I would bring my own drinks next time since it's window order and outdoor eating. Then you can go take a walk along the Pier. The only down fall is 2 times now they have tried to over charge me on items. So definitely know the price of what you are ordering. ”
“ I was craving seafood and having recently spent a week along the coast and staying in Monterey to Half Moon Bay and enjoying their local seafood, I was looking for the same in Oceanside. We were strolling on a Sunday morning and I wanted some fresh seafood and didn't want to go into a restaurant. We saw that Tin Fish was opened so we got the grilled mixed plate and a salad to snack. It took a while for our food to be done and we were so hungry while waiting. There are plenty of outdoor tables to seat but the only thing you need to be mindful is the competitions for your food, with incudes birds, bees, and flies! When food came out, salad was good and the grilled mixed plate was good but for the price, it was so little... so, I think it was pretty expensive! I was still hungry and wanted to go and order some more but there was a line and I didn't want to wait another 30 minutes at least for the next time I could eat again here so we didn't order more. If I'm in the area again next time and go here to eat, I might just order a lot more learning from this experience. Overall, it's AOKAY. ”
“ Fish tacos were huge, just a bit fluffy but Good! Prices are up there just like any other place in LA, but 20 bucks for 2 tacos and some fries idk, you guys decide. ”
“ Honestly this place is way better than I thought it would be. The outside is super cute and very convenient. Food came out fast, which was nice! Ordered the Clam Chowder and the Tin Fish Combo. I have no complaints and honestly it was one of the best clam chowders I've had in a while. If i was staying longer in Oceanside, I probably would've gone back. Definitely recommend! ”
“ UPDATE. Exceptional bounce-back customer service. Barely a line, ordered something super simple - kids fish and chips, and waited about 25min when told it will be ready in 5-7 minutes. I saw three customers that came after me get their (large) orders. I went to the window asking about my order and it appeared it was given to someone else by accident. I wasn't mad, I was just hungry. The main guy prepared my order after that very quickly. When I went to pick up my order at the window I also was given a refund NOT expecting that and wasn't necessary but thank you. Then I was told he would like to give me a piece of chicken for my dog... again NOT expected and thank you so kindly. Didn't care for the fast reorder or the refund much BUT to think about my dog and wanting to give her a piece of chicken for her own happiness was WINNER CUSTOMER SERVICE for me. He came to my table and provided some small pieces of chicken. KIDS FISH AND CHIPS - smaller version of their regular fish and chips. I like their halibut fish and chips better but this was good enough. Fried well, tasted good. No complaint. CHICKEN - for my dog. She loved it and although they gave a small serving it was very generous and a buffet for my small dog. It was plenty and I packed up the left overs for her evening snack. I see your pendant around your neck!!! Of course I pronounce correctly... I grew up with (a lot of) real ones. Si Yu'os ma'åse ”
