South Bay Wild Fish House: Fresh Seafood Salads in Astoria, OR

One of our favorites we visited in Astoria. All food items were excellent but I must say the tuna poké can't be beat! The oysters, calamari, and clam chowder were top notch too! Excellent bartending as well. Super fun & eclectic atmosphere and great friendly service! We'll definitely be back!

A quirky, 2-level restaurant serving some extremely delicious seafood options. We'd been recommended to visit here by the folks on the Astoria Underground Tour. Staff was friendly, food good, and the only thing I would say that would help this establishment might be adding a flat screen in the bar area connected to a camera mounted on the roof facing the river, as this establishment has no visibility to one of Astoria's greatest assets - the river and the Astoria-Megler Bridge

We were looking for some great fresh fish and seafood to eat on our Cruise Ship stop in Astoria .. we def found a hidden gem We had done a bit of research on best rated restaurants and this one came up very high! Casual setting, very friendly service and most importantly very fresh and delicious fish . I had a lovely Banh Mi with Petrale Sole and OMG .. the fries they served were maybe best fries I’ve ever had! The seasoning on them was so tasty and they were perfect mix of crunchy and pillowy soft.. Our server recommended the best fish to choose when we chose what we wanted. My husband got Fish Tacos which he also loved .. just a great, flavourful meal

Great fish and chips, heavy fry but fresh fish and thick flavorful steak fries. The grilled sole in the tacos was in little bits instead of a larger filet, would have preferred it in a decent chunk but I guess it’s too flaky. Next time will stick with the rock cod.

In visiting downtown Astoria, we were all three craving seafood and or fish. The leader of the pack was the only one who knew the restaurants and suggested their delectable fish tacos. Not being a taco lover ordinarily, I ordered rockfish and in place of french fries, clam chowder soup. On the side was coleslaw, which I love, and although this was made a little differently more pickled, it was still yummy. The chowder was thinner than I had expected, yet it was still tasty. I would’ve preferred more fish than potatoes. The fish was delicious and next time because one of us had ordered the fish tacos, that’s what I’m getting. They were extremely full looking with delectable fish! The waitstaff was very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is quaint and warm in decor and made me feel very comfortable because of its casual, yet playfully fun and colorful atmosphere. A week later, I returned with my daughter. We chose to sit upstairs to see what that was like. It was super intimate, warm and cozy. Not to mention, colorful and playful with really cool art everywhere we looked.

Freshest and tastiest seafood I’ve had in town (or even on the coast overall, why is it so hard to find fresh seafood restaurants?!). Been here a few times now and never disappointed. Tried a few different things, smoked tuna melt, prawns, oysters etc…. All delicious! Service was good. Sometimes have to wait for a table and it’s busy so might have to wait for waiter to stop by sometimes but worth it. Smoked tuna melt- said “lightly smoked” but it’s very smoky :)

We were looking for a lunch spot in downtown Astoria, and luckily found South Bay. What a great restaurant! Super fresh seafood, fantastic service, and really affordable. Some of the best tuna and calamari I've had anywhere. Coming back here whenever we're in Astoria!

We traveled through Astoria, we researched and found South Bay wild fish House. We were surprised to find a family-owned business. And we stopped in my son and I are on our way back from Cabo San Lucas traveling to Canada. Amanda was our server the food was absolutely wonderful, I had the clam chowder best I had in many years, that I can remember. We also shared clams, my son had the salmon, I had the red cod it was tender sweet and very favorable.. speaking with Amanda the our waitress, the cook for the clam chowder wasTiffany so Tiffany thanks for your soup. Compliments to Amanda she made the experience memorable... Thanks Amanda
