Easy atmosphere to relax and have the best fish and chips in town! I was visiting Half moon Bay for a Retreat Chef job and this was my choice for my last meal..before 3 days of cooking for others! I had the 2 piece fish and chips and was so excited I forgot to take a picture.

Thank you for your service and for the food and for letting me stay for a while after eating to hang out before heading back home. I will say for the sear bass to add more seasoning to it please so there’s more flavor to it. Also for sweet potato frensh fries make it more crisper please.
Thank you again!

Food was very tasty and good. The popcorn shrimp were crispy and delicious. The crab sandwich was made from fresh crabmeat with melted cheese. Service okay not too bad. But the restaurant itself was nice and chill. The decor was old school, but made the place feel more authentic to the area. Price was reasonable for someone on a budget.

Was looking for lunch recommendations from ChatGPT and this restaurant came up on top for its seafood tacos and fish & chips (apparently rated #9 best in America by The Daily Meal).
We started with the clam chowder, which was decent. Then moved onto crab melt sandwich was perfectly crisp, but didn’t wow us.
We opted for 3 tacos solo ($7.50 each) to save $3 since we didn’t need the extra rice, beans, fries, or salad:
Cod taco – uses the same fish as the fish & chips, so it felt redundant.
Mahi Mahi taco – two generous pieces of grilled fish with mango salsa; tasty but not memorable.
Coconut shrimp taco – two shrimp with mango salsa; nicely crisp but could have used a squeeze of lemon for extra zing.
Finally, the fish & chips were indeed the highlight but the portion was tiny, leaving us a little underwhelmed.
We skipped the recommended homemade devil’s slide expresso pie and key lime pie since we brought our own birthday cake but since the restaurant charges a $2 per-person cake-cutting fee, we decided to have it at the beach instead.
Nothing stood out enough to make it worth going out of your way.

Flying fish and grill is absolutely The Best restaurant I’ve tried going on vacation. Every time I go to different places it just misses one thing. The vibe in this place is amazing just a relaxing atmosphere especially by the bar. Love the salmon tostada salad. Crab cakes are delicious, Bloody Mary was the kicker. Never had a Bloody Mary in my life but was surprised by how it looks and taste but definitely worth it. Love this place it’s going to be my to go place now. ~TamalesElTamaleroJR

Upon arrival, we were seated right away. They must’ve been shorthanded that day because it took at LEAST 10 minutes or more for a waiter to take our order. We ordered the warm bread bowl and butter as an appetizer. To my disappointment, the crust and ends were rock hard, making most of it inedible. This didn’t give me much confidence that my dish, the Flying Cabanera pasta, would be any better. To my surprise, the shrimp were big, the sauce was flavor, the pasta was cooked just right, and the portions were plentiful. Despite the not so great service and appetizer, I would like to come back and try other menu items.

The Food
After a nice morning stroll around Half Moon Bay, we discovered Flying Fish Grill for lunch. It seems like a nice local restaurant with a variety of dishes. We ordered their Prawns Salad, Jambalaya, and Fish and Chips. The Prawns Salad was good, with an interesting orange blossom dressing. The Jambalaya was flavorful and the Fish and Chips were good as well. They also had a good variety of other dishes, but one can only eat so much, so next time.
The Miscellaneous
The restaurant is off one of the main roads with parking available in the rear. The exterior and interior have interesting design. It quite reflects a seaside restaurant with various decorations. The restaurant has plenty of seating inside and outside, along with a bar area. The staff and service was good. They seated us promptly, took our order when we were ready, and the food arrived in a reasonable time. Their menu has a good variety of items from sandwiches to salad, to tacos, among others. They also have an extensive drink menu with wine, spirit, beer, etc. as well. This was an interesting restaurant to visit if you are in the area and looking for a variety of seafood.

We visited Flying Fish during the Pumpkin Festival weekend. Even with the crowds and hectic parking situation, our party of 10 was seated right away. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better.
We ordered a variety of dishes — calamari, fish and chips, clam chowder (both in a bread bowl and in a regular bowl), and the seafood cioppino. Everything was delicious! My favorites were the fish and chips and the calamari. Portions were great, the food came out fresh, and the flavors were spot on.
Overall, a fantastic spot for seafood in Half Moon Bay. We’ll definitely be back!

Place is cute and the location is convenient. Food came out super fast.
For kids meal, chicken tenders were better than the pasta.
Ceasar salad was a bit heavy on the dressing but it was very yummy.
Fish and chips and brussel sprouts felt a bit bland. But the fries were very good and crispy. The fish was crispy and fresh.
Oysters and tacos were fantastic.
Clam chowder was good but also on the bland side.

Stopped im here for lunch on a rainy day. Restuarsnt is very old and outdated. Tables were not very clean. Service was friendly though. The fish and chips were pretty good. The rest of the food was just okay. Overall its not bad but not great either.
