On the Road: Bowpicker Fish & Chips in Astoria, Oregon
My non-negotiable stop in Astoria is always Bowpicker Fish and Chips, for beer battered Albacore tuna and thick steak fries!
[I ate] Bowpicker’s Fish and Chips in Astoria, OR. : r/MealPics – Reddit
Supposed to be the best fish and chips in town, and the line shows. It was freezing and windy and we had to wait for around 30minutes.

While this place is highly recommended through word-of-mouth as a “must-eat” spot, I personally found it quite disappointing.
Hygiene is often a concern with food-truck-style eateries, and although the interior here was mostly hidden from view, the state of the ceiling and the microwave was enough to show that cleanliness is severely lacking. It seems many people judge the taste based solely on how “crispy” the food is, but the fish itself lacked volume—the portions were far too small—and there was a noticeable fishy odor. While the crispiness might mask some of the issues, the fundamental hygiene of the kitchen and the quality of the oil are very poor. I have no intention of returning.

After visiting the Astoria Column, I spotted a long line by a boat on a hill, turned out to be Bowpicker Fish & Chips! The fish was crispy outside, tender inside and the fries hit the spot. Super friendly local vibe, and totally worth the wait. Felt like a fisherman for a moment . Must-try when in Astoria!
Come early, bring cash, and don’t be scared of the line — it moves fast and it’s 100% worth it.

BEST FISH & CHIPS! Every single time we pass by the area, it is either too long of a line or we just time it out wrong so we miss our opportunity and they are closed but we finally got lucky enough and I regret sharing the one basket and not trying it before! Haha! If you are ever in the area, please dont make a mistake and miss out on your opportunity! Park it, get yourself in that line and order yourself a whole order per person!!

Best fish n chips I’ve had! The tuna is just different!! Got there early so we didn’t have to wait in line but just a few minutes! Our order was taken through the window, and made it to the register at the same time we did. First the portions is perfect! The fish and the chips are cooked to golden perfection! We made it to a picnic table across the street to see the line grow, and grow, and grow! Even if you’re not hungry get an order and split it, it’s worth the stop!

Really great one of a kind experience, first for the amazing light and airy batter, second for rockstar tartar sauce, third for albacore tuna fish which is the only fish they ever have in their fish and chips, so stop asking. Bonus points go to the rickety old boat that they cook in. And finally tip of the hat to the staff who seemed to be fun and friendly even though all their customers have just waited in a long line victims of their own success. LOL. And finally the price ain’t bad. If you are persnickety and you have not had tuna fish and chips then just know that the fish is going to be rather firm inside. You are not allowed to complain, and this style will grow on you.

Be prepared to wait on line for the BEST FISH & CHIPS in the pacific northwest! No, seriously, it’s THAT GOOD! There’s going to be a line of folks but it moves steadily. Eating at some tables nearby will expose you to pigeons who don’t mind getting up close & personal as they beg for scraps. Great, fast service. Soft drinks available for order. Not a bad price for the quantity you’ll get. Go ahead and get the full order, 5 pieces of fish and steak fries. You won’t regret it.

It is an experience eating from a boat that has been converted to a fish and chips street restaurant. Many claim it has the best that they ever tasted. I am not making that claim.
Three small (1.5″ by 1.5″) pieces of fish and a small handful of skin on hand-cut fries, with a bottle of water cost over $11.00. So feeding a family of four will be about $44 or more. There are better options in Astoria, and other places along US-101 and Marine Drive.
The owner and operator should visit the Rock of Gibraltar to see what a really nice Fish and Chips meal is.

There was a wait, but it was worth it. It was very crispy and delicious. I believe it tastes better than what you’d find at a restaurant. There are benches next to Domino’s Pizza where you can sit and eat. However, there are a lot of birds. If you’re afraid of them, I recommend picking up your dish and taking it to your car or accommodation.

Hands-down the best fish n chips! The fish is crispy on the outside without being oily, and tender and juicy on the inside. The chips are delicious too. Really good tartar sauce as well. There has been a line every time I’ve gone but it moves and the taste and quality of the food certainly makes up for it. You have to find street parking and I’d recommend walking across the street to find a bench and enjoy the food with a view of the water.

Fish and chip perfection. Easy and simple menu. Do you want fish and chips or fish and chips. Don’t come for the selection, come for the perfection. Line moves quickly. Don’t be daunted by 5 piece as the fish pieces are maybe 2”. Next time I’d throw in for an extra piece of fish. They have an awesome selection of sauces including lemon, hot sauces, vinegar, tartar, ketchup and more. Fish is tender and everything is cooked fresh to order. Take out only. No worries so many great places to take your food and enjoy in Astoria. Try a park or a tap house.
