A beloved neighborhood seafood market serving standout gluten-free fish and chips, best for casual meals; occasional service lapses and price quibbles noted.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Portland Fish Market delivers exceptional food quality with fresh, expertly-fried fish and crisp fries that justify its loyal following and strong reputation. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from perfectly crisp to occasionally soggy or cold orders—and variable service attentiveness prevent a higher grade. The neighborhood charm and outdoor seating add appeal on good weather days, making this a solid neighborhood destination for gluten-free fish and chips rather than a premier regional establishment.
Restaurant Summary
On SE Woodstock, the market window hums with orders and the air smells like the coast. Service often feels friendly and helpful, and the fries land hot and crisp. One diner raved, "perfectly battered cod with juicy flakes," while another noted a missed pickup and lukewarm box on a busy afternoon. Cooking leans classic Northwest fish and chips: choose your catch (cod, rockfish, halibut) and expect a light, chickpea-based batter that keeps things gluten free and satisfying. The chowder with salmon draws praise, and the retail counter tempts with smoked black cod and oysters. It is ingredient-first comfort, more market-fresh than chefly theatrics. Families do well here: baskets of fish and fries, outdoor picnic tables, and straightforward flavors. Kids can share cod or shrimp and crisp, salty fries; there is no kids menu mentioned, but portions split easily. Expect counter service and casual vibes.
