Fantastic atmosphere and good food! My husband got the Cioppino and I got the Cesar salad with blackened steelhead at the recommendation of our wonderful server Corinne. Only suggestion here is that the Cioppino needs a little more citrus and umame taste. Otherwise wonderful food, location, service, and cocktails!

Great casual place for a bite near Tacoma Foss Marina. Burger we outstanding. Halibut fish and chips were stellar as well. Will be coming back.

Delicious food, with above and beyond service in a casual atmosphere, and easy midday parking. Cioppino is highly recommended. Complex flavors of both savory and subtle details are deeply satisfying. Made-from-scratch richness for your palate. Lots of crab in the combo. All the dishes we had were tasty and memorable. Even took home the leftover broth from the clams and from the cioppino for toast dipping at home. Wonderful. Anxious for a repeat visit on a future trip to the area.

We went to dinner and ate at the bar. We started with raw oysters. They were so delicious. We then had the seafood dip. My husband had the seafood mac n cheese. I had the King Crab . It was definitely the king of the sea. Huge portion and tastes amazing. Fresh delicious food, knowledgeable and friendly staff, with a beautiful view of the water. I think I found my favorite dinner spot. It is also walkable distance from the Tacoma Dome, very convient to grab a drink and food before the show. I highly recommend checking it out. You will not be disappointed.

We wanted lobster rolls, Penn Cove mussels & oysters, so found this place by the water.

Unfortunately, they ran out of the mussels.

The oyster sampler is a nice, inexpensive (compared to Seattle tourist spots) way to enjoy fresh tumbles. That day, it was clean, bright kumamotos, served with cocktail sauce & horseradish, & a sweet mignonette with chopped shallots.

They offer Maine (warm) & Connecticut (cold) styles of proper, if understuffed lobster rolls. Toasted, buttered rolls were sliced down the middle & made just for this.

We also enjoyed the bang bang shrimp appetizer & a main entree of linguine tossed in a light, garlicky spicy sauce with a substitution of prawns instead of Penn Cove mussels. Just as good & a highlight of our dinner.

Another highlight was some of the best, chunky New England style chowder we’ve had.

Go there early to avoid long waits, busy servers, & crowds.

Would’ve been five stars across the board except the outdoor seating was sub par. Yes, they accommodated the fact that I had my service animal but the seating outside that they set up was awkward and the table was higher than my chair.
Other than that, the view, food and service were spectacular.
Best clam chowder I’ve had so far and I’ve tried quite a few places looking for the best spot. Calamari was a bit on the dry side but maybe that’s because it was cold and windy outside.

Happy hour oysters were good but very small. LOVED the bang bang shrimp and clam chowder!!!! Tuna melt and rockfish tacos were a bit underwhelming unfortunately, the tacos a bit flavorless.

Today I needed to make a lovely trip to Urgent Care for yet another “gift” related to the collision which has been the reason why I needed surgery back in December and go to weekly PT appointments.

After spending a few hours waiting for results after tests were conducted, I was ready for some real food. 3 packages of saltine crackers , 3 Tylenol and 2 cups of ice water didn’t quite cut it as a gourmet meal.

Fish and chips sounded good so Ray and I headed to the restaurant where I had read nothing but rave reviews. Unfortunately, there was no open parking for several blocks so that plan was scrapped for another day. A quick search brought up The Fish Peddler so we went there.

The Fish Peddler has a huge parking lot and is located right on the water. Today was gorgeous so we opted to sit outside. Normally the breeze off the bay is cold even on nice days, but today was perfect.

After being seated, our server brought menus. I ordered a Mai Tai and Ray ordered lemonade. It was hard to make a decision with all of the interesting menu items. I was really torn between the rockfish tacos or stay with the fish and chips. I decided to stay with the fish and chips. Ray ordered the rockfish and requested it blackened when offered.

Our food came up quickly. It was hot and made to order. Everything was delicious, of course I had to taste the rockfish and it was awesome!!!

We don’t always get to take time to relax. It was so peaceful we sat and watched the people walking their dogs and the boats going into and out of the various marinas.

When Ray learned there was carrot cake on the dessert menu, it was a given!!! I debated the 7 layer chocolate cake, but opted out. I stole a couple of bites of the carrot cake and was lucky to not find a fork in the back of my hand.

Once we finished our meal, we walked out onto the walkway overlooking the water and read about the lumber mills which used to be there. Then our relaxing day was over and it was time to head home.

We will definitely return. Our meals were a little pricey but definitely worth it.

We visited on a cold, rainy weekday afternoon. There’s a parking lot next to the restaurant, and despite the weather, it was quite busy—we waited about 10 minutes for a table. The dining area was fairly spacious, and they thoughtfully provided coloring sheets for kids as soon as we sat down.

As for the food, the clam chowder lived up to its reputation and was definitely a highlight. The lobster mac and cheese was flavorful, and the cod in the fish and chips tasted fresh. The calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside—clearly fresh. The bang bang shrimp was tasty but not particularly special. Overall, it was a decent dining experience.
