Avalon Seafood & Fish Market — Restaurant in Avalon

Avalon Seafood & Fish Market is a small establishment at the end of the pier in Avalon. They offer shaded outdoor seating with great views of the harbor because you're literally in the middle of it. My wife and I decided to eat here right after one of the semi-submersible tours because it was right at the end of the gangplank and we were hungry.

If it's offered, I always get it: Fish & Chips. I asked how it was, and they said "We're well known for our fish & chips, so it's pretty good." It got me pretty excited, so that's what I got. When it came out just a few minutes later, it was underwhelming. The fish was piping hot; it went straight from the fryer to my plate. Unfortunately, the crust was light and did not offer a satisfying crunch. It gave way with each bite, and that was about it. Without lemon juice or sauce, the fish itself was slightly dry and tough. Some portions of it flaked a little as it should, but the majority did not flake well and required more tearing. With lemon juice, it was just a little tough, and the sauce was a nice accompaniment instead of a dish saver. They also have a condiments table with ketchup and malt vinegar on it, so it was nice to douse my fish a bit with the vinegar. The amount of sauce they provide is more than enough, and the lemon was easily large enough to coat my fish. Overall, I rate this fish & chips a 6.5/10 primarily due to the dryness and toughness, although the light crust...

Over priced to begin with. For $24 I only got 2 pieces of fish and 6 other things of I don't remember what but I swear it was such small portions. I even asked if that was good enough for two people and they said yes. They served it in half a plate. The clam shower was decent though. All in total we spent $53 and we were still hungry. Honestly I've had better fish and way more from supermarkets for a third of the price. Honestly too expensive and not so great food. I'm not the only one saying it's too expensive for what they offer. Honestly I should have read the reviews before going there. Oh yeah one last thing the guy that helped us was cool but after I mentioned the small portion of the food he gave me a bad look and didn't even reply just rolled his eyes and walked away. I was going to mention to him he had a cool voice like he should be on the radio or doing voice overs or...

Found this place at the end of the pier. The view is nice 👍 plenty of seating with some shade. Watch out for the birds they will steal unattended food. The service is good and fast. Self clean up. The food was disappointing. $17 fish and chips but later saw restaurants nearby with better food for similar or slightly higher price and much better food that even had bathrooms and nicer atmosphere. These three fish pieces seem like from a freezer bag of fish fingers. Fries too. There is a Vons down the road just go there. Wish I saw the review before coming here. But if you want quick food and already at the end of the pier this is the place for you. Food isn’t terrible unless you consider the price quantity and other options...
