The Fishwife - Portland

I ate it so fast I didn't get a picture ? got the fried combo dinner and it was great. The coating on the fried seafood is nice and thin, and crisp, not greasy. The garlic mashed potatoes are so flavorful I would drive across town to bring a tub home no joke. The veggie was zucchini (it probably rotates) and it was nice to get something that isn't common as a veggie side. And it came with a side salad that was awesome micro greens (no iceberg) and a flavorful marinated big slice of beet. Even the salad dressing was great (ranch), and not that oily sugary stuff that comes out of a gross bottle that a lot of restaurants use.As far as ambiance, it had a family dining vibe.. there is some interesting Ephemera on the walls but there were a lot of groups with loud kiddos packed in, so it wasn't exactly a romantic date.We will definitely be back, this is some of the best fish and chips we've had in town so far. ??

Best fried oysters ever! And if you get lucky enough to pick a night when they have sturgeon on their special, don't pass it up, it will be the best you have ever had!Food: 5/5

Worth swimming upstream for!Steelhead, Alaskan Cod and seafood combo where all fresh and prepared perfectly! Vegetables and potatoes were very good. Salads with tasty homemade dressing.Blueberry dessert was yummy.

Great chowder and fish. but be sure and check the specials board, because there’s almost always a non fish gourmet type thing. Tonight was duck confit fantastic!Staff is always friendly and efficient. We love this place.

This place is the safe landing your soul needs. And the butter n grease your heart was built for . it was a sanctuary for girl talk and come to Jesus moments about life in our 20s..also… how to procrastinate further the 20 page midterm paper no one had started . But once you smelled the fishwife settle into your clothes as you slide into seats , the world is warm , comfortable, and the food reminds you … midterms don’t mean anything in real life.Fishwife does
