30 E Santa Clara St #140, San Jose, CA 95113
· Seafood restaurant, Fish & chips restaurant, Oyster bar restaurant
· Downtown San Jose
Casual downtown seafood spot best for fish and chips and value oysters, with generally friendly counter service and occasional quality inconsistencies.
The verdict
The City Fish earns its grade through strong food quality anchored by crispy fish and chips and fresh oysters, paired with attentive service and efficient counter ordering. However, inconsistent execution on sides like fries and chowder and a modest downtown setting prevent it from reaching higher territory. It's a reliable, generous neighborhood spot worth visiting for solid seafood comfort.
One caveat: Clam chowder opinions are split, from excellent to bland
