Great food. Non-greasy fish and chips that just flake off in delicious perfectly-cooked chunks. The chowder was good too.

As a visitor to the Emerald City, we began exploring various restaurant reviews for a place to eat after a day of touring the city. We came upon this fabulous place and decided to give it a try. I had the Chilli Lime Prawns, my friends had Clam Chowder, Halibut with the blue cheese topping, Fish and Chips, and the Ahi Tuna. All of the food was fabulous. The server was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The chef(?), even came out and recommended a trip to Kerry Park. If I had a negative it would to about the prices, which I found to be high. Although I have no regrets about the prices after eating my fill

So happy to discover this place through groupon. Awesome and friendly service. Even though we have a groupon, the server has seen us browsing Unilocal and offered us a complimentary Unilocal deal for zucchini appetizer. On to the main course, grilled salmon was cooked to perfection. Can’t be happier and will definitely come back.

I ate here a few times while I lived in upper Queen Anne. It’s kind of at the end of the main restaurant area which I think contributes to the fact that it generally doesn’t have a lot of business(I really think I’ve only seen it busy there once; most other times I’ve been one of less than 3 parties in the whole place — maybe I’m just consistently missing the rush???). The service is super nice. I typically have the combo fish and chips plate which has so much fish! I think their batter is done really well and doesn’t overwhelm the fish. I don’t recall their drink menu being very extensive(maybe only beer and wine actually…). I was trying to come up with a good way to describe the atmosphere when I saw another reviewer describe it as a cross between Long John Silver’s and Red Lobster — spot on. Overall I think this place is a solid seafood restaurant if you’re in the area but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

$ 41 for two plates of the literally the worst fish and chips both of us have ever had. Go to the Pacific Inn Pub, which has amazing fish and chips, but a dive bar atmosphere. It’s not often that food makes me sick, but the cod and chips and halibut and chips plates certainly did. Not food poisoning, but just undercooked, excessively oily and poor quality. The waitress saw us sopping up all the oil and when we asked for extra napkins, she didn’t even ask what was up? Never asked us if we liked the food. Instead of a rich golden brown, all the fish and fries were pale white. The fish fillets looked and tasted like they were bought from a restaurant supply outlet frozen and then reheated in oil. Also, the tarter was terrible and tasted old. Definitely from a bottle and not freshly made. Also, I really love cole slaw, but I only ate a couple bites of theirs and didn’t want to eat any more. It was not only bland but tasted old.

We had a great experience! The food was fresh, delicious and healthy. Very family friendly restaurant with a small train table area and ice cream at the end of the kid’s plate. Can definitely recommend the black cod, halibut cheeks, seafood kabob, the seared Ahi salad and the kid’s fish sticks. All food was excellent and the service was even better. Our server was the only server working when we were there with about five other tables. She was very busy but she didn’t skip a beat. She provided great service. We tried this place out based on Unilocal reviews and will definitely be back!

OHYEAH! On the way to meet friends during the week and we arrived a bit early to Queen Anne. We were starving so turned to trusty Unilocal and found the Five Hooks relatively close. Anyhow a small, quaint place on the corner and from what I hear gets very busy on the weekend, so make a reservations. We arrived during happy hour and tried a few things. Their seared tuna ahi was very tasty and not overcooked, which seems to be a problem when folks don’t know their fish. Also a half a dozen oysters finished our snack for the evening. They are shucked per order, so very fresh. The menu looked incredible and so did the food coming out to the other tables, good portions as well. Definitely want to come back and get a full meal. While we were finishing our snacks we talked to Paul, our server, which turned out to be also the owner who runs the place with his son and a few others. The staff and Paul were extremely nice and thanked us a few times for stopping in. Overall great place to grab some seafood without ridiculous prices, plus probably the nicest, sincere staff and owner of any place that I have visited.

Traveling from California, we are visiting Seattle and wanted a good fish experience. We got the free grilled zucchini wish was delish, and we had the New England clam chowder which was amazing but not punch-you-in-the-face, which I love. I sat by a fire place for dinner(side point of joy) and it’s my tradition to get fish and chips wherever I travel. Loved it. I recommend the sweet potato fish and chips. But what I really loved was talking with Brittany and meeting the owner Paul, both fellow California’s, who had really great places to visit and who really love living in Seattle. Super rad people. Thanks for a great night y’all! Till next time

This is possibly the most over rated place I have ever been to on Unilocal.Absolutely terrible, looks like they heated up the fish and chips straight out the box from the local grocery store. Playing obnoxious movie soundtrack on repeat that the waiter said they weren’t allowed to change. How many stars did these people pay Unilocal for? Run away and never eat here. $ 16 for a piece of salmon you could buy at Safeway.

A friend of mine was visiting from out of town and said she wanted shrimp. I looked up a nearby restaurant that specialized in shrimp, and voila! This place is great! She had the all-u-can-eat shrimp, and I had a grilled salmon sandwich. Both were excellent. Apparently they use only fresh shrimp and fish — the difference is deliciously clear. I will definitely be returning here again and again.

Came here starving one Friday night with my also ravenous boyfriend. The menu had so many wonderful looking options that we ordered several appetizers and then each had the fish and chips as well. Everything was fresh and delicious. My New Englander boyfriend gave the clam chowder a thumbs up, and the sashimi sampler plate hit the spot for both of us. I’m not a huge fish and chips fan so it’s rare that I order it, but I was not disappointed. The fish was crisp and flaky on the outside, not at all greasy and very flavorful. The fries were crisp, salty and just perfect. And our service was fantastic! The guy who served us was on point, making sure we never wanted for anything and even gifting us a gratis dessert of cheesecake. All in all, I could not have asked for a more perfect and relaxing evening. We’re definitely planning on returning and recommend checking this place out if you haven’t already!

Since moving to Seattle from SoCal I have missed California Fish Grill and have been longing for a casual seafood restaurant to fill the void. I’m really happy to have discovered Five Hooks. I love this family-run restaurant and now go there a few times a week for lunch. The«signature salmon», which comes with brown rice, coleslaw, bread and a little seaweed salad, is my go-to. Great family atmosphere, service and yea, I love their food too ;)

Not cheap, but delicious. My wife ordered the fried clams & French fries. The clams were meaty, well breaded, and piping hot, with none of that sour taste you get from old frying oil. I ordered the signature salmon. Earthy & mild, the salmon was grilled to just the right consistency and served over a bed of moist brown rice. The teriyaki sauce added a sweet and savory flavor when I wanted it, though the fish was worth eating on it own. Decent portions and quick and friendly service were also a plus.

This place is fun, an old school sort of seafood place but with plenty of grilled options and fresh salads and vegetables. We had seafood stew and grilled salmon, plus a crab cake appetizer and house wine. Server was welcoming and knew how the dishes are prepared, very helpful. If I lived in Seattle I would be a regular here.

Came in because all the great reviews that are actually«recommended,» however if you look at the un-recommended reviews — those hold truer. Came in for dinner time with a friend of mine on a Friday which they informed us of the all you can eat fish and chips which is what I ordered, my friend ordered the shrimp tacos(Paul’s Favorite) and his daughter ordered the kids Mac & Cheese. My fish and chips was awful, at least the fish part was — it tasted worse then the stuff you can buy from the freezer section in grocery stores. I ate some fries but ended up having to tell the waitress how awful it was — she kindly voided the meal for me without any hesitation. We also used the free appetizer with check in from Unilocal — we received the grilled zucchini and that was didn’t taste great, some of the zucchini wasn’t even grilled and I’m not sure if it was the seasoning they used or maybe their grill wasn’t clean but our zucchini tasted like old fish taste. My friends shrimp tacos were very delicious no complaints there besides the price –$ 19 for I believe he had only 2 small tacos. His daughter didn’t like her mac & cheese there wasn’t much flavor to it –and having a picky child who expects something similar to Kraft — she wasn’t impressed either. The waitress and the service and people are incredibly friendly they just need to fix their recipes or their product as well as adjust prices. Being a restaurant not right along the coast who doesn’t provide the«freshest» of fish, I don’t think their prices should be as high as they are especially for the portion sizes. I hope the owner takes into account all the negative or mediocre reviews on here and does something to help save their business because I just don’t see it surviving with what they do have.

Service was attentive but not overbearing. The owner came out and made sure the food was good… the food was good but nothing special. Sadly, the French fries were me and my girlfriends favorite part of our meal.

My friends know I’m not a huge fan of cooked fish(but I do love raw fish), but the Alaskan Cod Fish and Chips were delicious. Fish, fluffy, crispy and hot from the fryer! More like a panko breaded rather than battered and fried. I liked it better than my the seared/grilled Alaskan cod, which was slightly bland. The texture was great but I had to season with more lemon juice and salt. I would go for the fish and chips the next time. Our friend ordered the salmon fish and chips and she said they were delicious. Their sweet potato and regular fries were fresh and hot. Everything seemed really fresh and delicious. I’d definitely come back during another visit. Service was very attentive and quick.

Reminds me of a cross between a Long John Silver’s and a Red Lobster. Family sit down in a casual atmosphere. Booths line the walls on one side, tables fill the middle, and there is a fire going on the other side of the room. It is February and the entire place was lined with poinsettias. Huh? Guess they are green and sustainable or they just are slow at keeping with the current holiday. Friendly greeting, but pretty hands off and semi-neglectful throughout. You just have to flag them down to get their attention. Once you get them, they get you what you need with a smile. The food was greasy and mediocre, but for the bill when needing fish and chips in the Queen Anne neighborhood.
