Given we are in a coastal state, chippies are common place. In fact my first job aka highschool gig was at a local Ivar's Seafood Restaurant. I still go there every once in a while. They recently pulled the one out of Southcenter Mall. Spud in Greenlake was quite good too. Of course I like the malt vinegar on my fish and chips. What are your likes?

Tom’s fish and chips.
It’s a drive down in Oregon.
One in Seaside and one in Astoria.

Food is amazing. Plus for me they have a special appeal. My Aunty who passed away last year in a tragic auto accident, frequented the one in Seaside and they put up a picture and memorial for her.

Well since you’re in Des Moines, the closest good F & C would probably in Burien.

There’s The Burien Fish House (https://www.theburienfishhouse.com/), started out as a food truck & was so popular, they opened a brick & mortar. They also have lobster rolls, fish tacos, etc. They use good quality fish.

There’s another place in Burien called Pigfish Cafe (https://www.pigfishcafeburien.com/), that I’ve heard good things about, but haven’t been yet.

Obviously there’s Wally’s in Des Moines, but their quality is all over the place…

Walley's was good the last time I went there but I usually end up going myself or with friends as my parents who are pretty left leaning are boycotting Walley's for political reasons, so they haven't been there in a long time.

Bennett's in West Port has delicious fish and chips. No idea what that chippie word you are using is though.

Scuttlebut Brewery in Everett by the Navy base.
Great cod and also also have good beer.

Fish Mongers in Hammond OR

Fairhaven Fish and Chips at the terminal

RIP Steamers.

Burien Fish house or Wallys in Des Moines

"Linda's" just south of Raymond.
"The Boat" in Coos Bay Oregon (it used to be Ungers in Winchester bay)

Macleod's Scottish Pub in Ballard you can get some good whisky there too!

I prefer my cod fresh, just call the galley when I want fish and chips and I get it whenever I want. There is a huge difference in what I bring home and what you can get after it’s been frozen, thawed and frozen again. Nothing better than fresh.

"Little Chinooks" at Fisherman's Terminal. just off the south end of the Ballard Bridge. As good as I know it can be.

We go there when we go camping at Ft Stevens. I dont eat fish but my kids love the place.

The owner is a cool guy. 2nd friendly and all. My daughter lives maybe 100 yards away, husband Coast Guard. I get the mix each time, a lot of greasy food!! Mix is 2-4 types whatever they have fresh. Halibut, cod, salmon, albacore, and usually one of the Pacific snapper/rock fish varieties. Tuna can be a little dry if they don't take it out early, so never order it if the owner is NOT there.

Last time we visited I cooked a pasta toss with 2-3 leftover pieces of the fish cut up. Wow was really good. Pasta well drained and oiled a bit, so was dry. Throw in some capers, parsley, onion and garlic add oven reheated fish at the table last minute before serving - stayed crunchy!
