Luis provided excellent service: I started with three first oysters on the half shell and he selected three incredibly fresh and plump Pacific oysters… serve with slices of lemon and House made seafood sauce with horseradish in it. The first three were so good I went back and ordered four more.
Display indicates the place specializes in freshly caught seafood. The operative word is fresh and locally caught. The impression we have is that it comes straight off the boat. Based on the freshness I am inclined to believe that is exactly what happens: the day’s catch is brought in.
Is a casual phrase almost like it was a seafood market that was turned into a restaurant it has that easy-going vibe. It’s was packed at lunch. And there were lots of families meeting kids were eating tacos and fried fish and chips.
I also saw a dish Tillamook fried cheese curds… I wasn’t able to try it this time. But let me know if you do.

Way cool of a place! Fish caught and made fresh. We actually saw one of the guys who caught the fish eating there, so that was fun to see him both in real life and on the screens they had in there.
We ordered the fried halibut, and one of our orders came with clam chowder and coleslaw. It was all really good! Kinda pricy, but it honestly was worth it.
Space was really breezy, a lot of regulars.
The one lady who was taking our orders kinda looked like she didn’t want to be there, which made it kinda funny, but at the same time she was friendly enough.

We were debating for a few hours on where to go. I read reviews for Seafood and clam chowder. The four of us parked near Ecola and saw the porch and decided to go in. I was disappointed at first due to the price of crab and felt like leaving. The couple we were with ordered so I got the fried prawns and my wife got the fish and chips. I did try a few oysters they by far were the best i have had in along time. My wife was blown away with hers and my friends wanted to get seconds to go. I can honestly say that if I ever make it back to the Oregon coast I will go right back there. We enjoyed the food the porch with a fire it was amazing.

Ecola never disappoints. I have been coming to this very establishment for over 20 years now and it has always been a staple in my family. I would argue it has the freshest seafood in town and you can tell from the quality.
They’ve done a ton of work to expand the place and add more seating which is amazing and allows them to accommodate way more patrons. We love the fast casual atmosphere and the fish and chips are some of the best I’ve ever had. Went here twice in our last trip.
I will say the clam chowder has never been my favorite and the bread bowl sometimes could taste a little fresher but all in all this place is a rockstar.

Large space with fresh seafood. We had their Pacific Cod 4cs fish & chips. The fish was flakey and the beer batter was crispy(rare to find) the fries were also very well done. I suggest asking for an extra tartar sauce!
Their clam chowder is good too.
Very kid and family friendly. There is a family bathroom on their main floor and it was very clean.
Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Great stop in Cannon Beach!

A really nice spot near Cannon Beach! It’s a blend between a restaurant and marketplace with two floors to eat both indoors and outdoors! We got halibut fish and chips along with grilled halibut that came with garlic bread and soup, both were pretty good! One of the fishermen who catches fish for the place was eating there when we came in and he was telling people about the experience when his picture also came up on a TV inside! Really neat how it all comes full circle. Would recommend this place!

Everything is very fresh and delicious. Reasonable prices. Fast and good service. We were happy to find a table when we entered but those coming after us had to wait a bit. Great place!

Food was fantastic, service was excellent especially considering the amount of customers and they got the orders correct! Atmosphere is lively and casual, tables can be a bit smallish but other than it, atmosphere is perfect for a laid back seafood spot.
There are non-fried seafood options, but hardly none on the side item menu, which was a bit of a letdown. As long as you’re expecting to eat heavier for that meal and exercise later, you’ll be good to go! Parking can be hectic as they have zero parking available, but there are walking distance free parking lots scattered along with the strip and side streets.

This is my second time eating at Ecola. Both times have been an awesome experience. The staff was friendly, caring and helpful in deciding choices. They have lots of grab and go items. I had cod fish and chips this time and want to try many other items on their menu as well, not to mention great fresh seafood. The outside seating is very cool with a fire bar. You won’t go wrong ordering food from this restaurant. I will be one of their regulars when I come visit Cannon Beach!

Best seafood you can get in Cannon Beach. The fish and chips are cooked perfectly and the breading is nice and crispy. The clam chowder is FULL of clam pieces and it’s got a great flavor to it. If you’re looking for some fresh seafood- this is the spot. They even updated the building so there’s more seating inside and outside upstairs.
