This is the best fish and chips, period. I am going to be there over and over. Twice in a month so far and it's a 3 hour drive one way! Thinking about moving to Willits to be closer but out of the fog. I love Fort Bragg.

We just stumbled upon this place as we were traveling thru California. Didn't look like much from the view in the parking lot. Thought we would give it a try. The fish chips were amazing ! Don't judge a book by its cover...

Is sea pals open for dine in service as of June 30 2020

Yes

are you open on easter?

I go here a lot! Love their fish and chips...but alas, I can't answer your question! I'd be surprised if they were to be honest...

How long has this been here? Was it a previous name or owner recently?

It's a guess but I think it has been there for 5+ years. They moved just down the road where they were for a long time. Same ownership for quite a while.

Really great fish and chip and outdoor seating on the bay. Really fun to watch the charters come in. Also a good beer selection

Good fish and chips, decent portions, fish tasted fresh. Was quite crowded when I visited. Seagulls on the patio tried to be intimidating, just make sure to assert dominance by staring back into their eyes and stand your ground. During late afternoon you might end up in between fishing crews cleaning catch and washing their boats

This was a very cool little out of the way place. A man I assumed to be the owner treated us so nicely. He was so friendly and we were thankful he was open later than most of the restaurants in town. And the food was outstanding! I had shrimp & chips and my friend had fish & chips. He also threw in some delicious clam chowder after hearing about our rude treatment at a restaurant down the road, which was above and beyond for us. I would recommend this place very highly and will definitely go back when I travel near Ft. Bragg again. The locals that we met were very friendly as we huddled around the firepit talking and I hope they will not mind that I am letting the secret out about one of their great spots. Great food and service so you can't go wrong here.

Good food, minus the kids grilled cheese which wasn't cooked. Staff was friendly but they were in need of help. 4 people in line ahead was 20+ mins to order and the wait was 45. Luckily, the fish and chips didn't disappoint!

Extremely small pieces of fish and greasy. The Pom cider had gone to vinegar, but the fries were good. Very over priced. Could have been an off day, but we'll be sticking to Bodega Bay for fish and chips from now on

Right on the water and great for getting a quick bite to eat at a reasonable (for the pier/dock) price. The fish and chips looks small but it was very filling for me and the tartar sauce was delicious. My friend got the bacon bbq burger and that was pretty decent as well. I wish there was more seating inside but I have a feeling this place would be better when it's not raining. I was told around 1pm, you can see the fishermen come in with their morning catches. Definitely give this place a shot.

Excellent fresh fish and chips with 18 beers on tap. Had a fantastic North Coast Old Rasputin with some crispy fish and couldn't have been happier. Not a lot of seating inside, but there are picnic tables just outside that can accommodate larger groups. Inside is bright, clean, and warm on those cold days.

Deliciously crispy fried fish and shrimp. Great selection of beers as well. We came around 1pm on a weekday but the wait was short (5-10 minutes to order)and we got our food quickly. Reordering beers might have taken a while though. This is a great stop to add to your trip through the area or if you're visiting. I can definitely recommend the fish/shrimp and chips. The fries are not the highlight of the dish but you get enough and they are crispy. They are thin fries not the usual thick/steak type fries I've had with F&C's.

Very pleasant service (Mitchell), and the fish and chips were great. They were a bit understaffed to handle the amount of people who were showing up, but they did their best. The prawns and chips were also delicious.

The best place in Noyo/Ft. Bragg!I go every time I'm in the area, even if I'm only there for one meal. Some of the BEST if not the best Fish & Chips. What is absolutely the best is the Prawns & Chips! (ask for the chips a little extra crispy)The crew working there is always friendly and they keep their outside fire blazing! I can't recommend this place enough.

Fish and chips were fresh and crisp. The prawns and chips were also very fresh, large/firm prawns with great flavor. Loved the clam chowder in the bread bowl. Big pieces of potatoes and clams and the bread was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Quick service with wonderful outdoors eating where you can watch the staff clean the catch of the day. Will be coming back here again.

The Sea Pal Cove seems to be a hidden gem, absolutely worth checking out! Possibly the best fish n chips I've ever had. And (very important!) their tartar sauce was amazing! Only issue we had was there is very limited indoor seating, the majority of seating is outside. Which is nice sometimes, but we unfortunately didnt know that beforehand and went on a windy day, so we had to rush through lunch to get out of there quickly. Not docking a star for that though, because they cant control the weather and the food was so good it was worth it anyway 🙂

Our favorite thing from their menu is the bread bowl clam chowder. Everything else was mediocre. Fish and shrimp was tasty but the fries were too greasy. They don’t have a ton of options on their menu. Definitely don’t come here if you are gluten free or vegetarian. Also, don’t expect to get your food quickly. We waited about 45 min. But the views are nice of the harbor. The next day we went to Django’s, a few feet away, and it was so much better! Better selection of food, fresh, tasty, faster service and beautiful views.

Honestly, I'm not the person to order fish and chips anywhere- but with the ocean in front of you, how can you not stop by. I really appreciated the mild fish, however I was a stranger to a crunchy product crumbling as I ate it. Overall, pretty good.

What a wonderful experience! It was raining earlier but stopped in time for dinner. We just stood on the back deck and had the best fish, prawns, and fries!! The gulls were a bit bothersome but fun to watch. One tried to steal our fries when we walked away to look around. The harbor seals also put on a great show. The tap selection was fun. They let you taste before you buy. I got an amazing pomegranate hard cider.

I was there two years ago with my family and it was great. We went through yesterday and I was very disappointed. We waited forever standing in line we also waited forever ordering our food and then waited another 30 minutes for our food. I ordered the fish and chips for $14 the same thing I ordered two years ago when I got it like fish was a size of hush puppies saturated with grease falling apart I got 10 stale soggy french fries. My wife and daughter ordered their cheeseburger $7.00 and they were the same as McDonald's $2 hamburgers. This place is a rip-off I have the photos to prove it was saturated in Greece I tried dipping my fish into the sauce and it kept falling apart like wet soggy bread.

What a treat! Clam chowder with carrots and potatoes hit the spot on a cool windy day. Fish was perfectly fried, just cooked through, juicy and not greasy. Reviewers complain about $14 for fish and chips, I would pay more for this quality.

Great local seafood shack down on the docks. They have 18 beers on tap and offer fried fish, burgers and fries. There is a small shack you order at and outdoor seating. They also have a large fire pit going on the dock for the brisk days. A fish sandwich and a beer is around $14.

An absolute great place to have a meal. The fish and chips are absolutely the best meal here, hands down. Tastes like it's fresh and locally sourced. If you don't like fish, then definitely try their burgers. They're DELICIOUS! AND they have an excellent selection of beers on tap. I recommend the Macadamia Nut Porter by 6 Rivers Brewing. There's the outside area is dog friendly and there's a huge fire pit for those cold nights. Perfect for gathering around and enjoying your great beers lol.

The food here is fantastic. It is always nice eating fish when you have a view of where it was caught. The selection of beer on tap is long also. The only reason for 4 stars is the limited seating and the lack of shade on the patio. If there were some large shade canopies it would be a much nicer experience.

The food was quite yummy (other than the clam chowder being less clam and more potato) but the costumer service was not what I like to see. An employee under the name of Leo approached with a rude tone when asked to clean our table and simply wiped the food remaining from the last customers onto our chairs. There was still ketchup and other condiments on the table. I’m unsure of wether the food made up for the lack of customer service.

My favorite spot in Fort Bragg! We always eat here a few times. The view is amazing watching boats come and go. Best shrimp and chips I've ever had. The fish and clam chowder is also very good. They have great beers to choose from. You have to try the bourbon berral stout. This is the only dark beer i like. It's chocolaty. They also have burgers and things for people who don't like sea food.
