We have been told this was a good place to eat, so we gladly met our friends there for dinner. We were also warned it could be noisy at night, which also turned out to be true with happy regulars having a good time. A couple of us had beers, mine being a Guinness Stout on tap. For food, one had a burger (Trap Burger on menu), which is what he normally ordered there and likes. My wife had the Grilled Chicken with a salad. She was happy. The other two of us had one of the specials, Ling Cod Fish and Chips, which was quite good. Service was good and friendly.

Wow! I’m torn. Write an amazing review and reveal a hidden secret or share with the world that this establishment is the epitome of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Obviously I can’t help but choose the latter. Driving up we were concerned that Yelp had possibly catfished us and started wondering if maybe we should cross the street to the other restaurant. So glad we stayed on our side of the road. The Old Fishtrap did not disappoint. From service to food they were A+. I ordered a Bloody Mary and WOWZERS! It was delicious. Next was their Clam Special. Special it was indeed. Just check out my pictures. Sooooo many clams. We then ordered their Panko Breaded Fish and Chips and Shrimp and Chips. YUMMY! We pretty much had to roll ourselves out. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food. It’s a dive we will definitely return to.

The decor was adorable. Came here for lunch. Had rockfish and chips. The fries were great but the fish was bland. Server was friendly, courteous and seemed like a nice person.

This is easily the best seafood I’ve had. We were especially fortunate to come when they had half-shelved oysters available as a special, and they were the BIGGEST oysters I’d ever had in my life. My partner got the crab cakes – we both agreed that they were the best crab cakes we’d ever eaten. I got the steamed clams and literally dipped salad leaves into the sauce because it was so good.
According to the bartender, all the seafood is fresh and it definitely tastes like it. They were also so friendly and charming.
What’s most unique is that by all accounts, this is a dive bar frozen in time. You walk in and there’s no frills, just find a seat. When they can, the bartender will get to ya or you can take it upon yourself to order at the bar. And if you’re lucky, a local like Earl will decide to play the piano for everyone before he has to head back to work.
This is a spot we’ll be dreaming about for a while!

The prawns were lightly breaded and so delicious . Great mixed drink and the salad was great as well.

My husband and I walked in, sat down and waited for someone to acknowledge our presence.
I finally got up and approached the bar where all the regulars were sitted.
Waited and waited for the lady behind the bar to stop playing with her phone and to ask me what I needed
I had to walk over closer to her and get her attention.
I asked for some menus, she replied “I have some here somewhere “
Found out she and her husband own the place.
He was very pleasant and told us what the special was for the day.
We’ve been there before a while back and their menu was a lot smaller.
We ordered burgers because there was not much to choose from.
They were good.
After lunch found out they don’t take credit cards and the wife refused to take a local check.
Also found out from the husband that they have fish and chips which is what I went there for but wasn’t on the menu.
We wanted to support a small business on our way home from Astoria but was terribly disappointed with the poor service.
We won’t go back.
They seem to cater to their regulars and can care less about having new customers

An amazing local dive with wonderful customer service and great food! We had the fish and chips and prawns, all of which were AMAZING!!! Cooked perfectly; just the right amount of breading, fresh taste, and not greasy at all. Plus the french fries, coleslaw and sauces were excellent with nice portion sizes – overall great bang for your buck! If you’re anywhere near long beach this place is more than worth the trip 😀

Update: This is a nice little bar, clean and the drinks are good. We had the burger and it was huge and delicious and kept us going for the whole day. This is the place to go if you want a really good juicy burger.
We just had the prawn basket, absolutely delicious perfectly made delicious and juicy, huge portion. My wife and I shared it and we were both full, a must stop! Sorry forgot to take a picture.

The food & service is excellent. Lots of locals and RV travelers. A bit rustic around the edges. Bar is in the dining room so expect some loud colorful conversations. Other times quiet. Part of the charm.
The best potato salad ever eaten. Beautiful salads. Fall off the bone delicious pork ribs. Crab quiche is excellent. I could go down the menu. Never had a bad breakfast or lunch which are the times we go. Good parking. Live music.

We went on a Friday around 6pm. It has a neighborhood dive feeling. Everybody knew each other. Lots of back slapping and gin n tonics flowing. We were made to feel at home.
Food was good. I had ling cod fish n chips. Portion of fish seemed small for $17. It tastes excellent. The owner prides herself on homemade sauces and dressings. It really shows with the excellent flavor of each. My husband had a burger. It was great! The fries were excellent as well. We will return for another date night.
