West Coast Fish N’ Chips is good.

And when it comes to fish & chips in Fresno, they’re apparently the best.

What makes them good?

A one-piece fish & chips costs $7.49. A two-piece goes for $11.99. And if you’re really hungry, a three-piece fish & chips goes for $16.49.

So there’s value in ordering through them.

West Coast Fish N’ Chips also provides attention to detail in its food preparation.

The restaurant’s fish & chips are freshly cooked. In fact, no food is precooked, instead fried only once an order has been submitted.

In addition, the fish used is an actual filet of fish.

And the ratio of batter to fish is just right. Not too much batter. Not too light, either.

The fish is then fried in vegetable oil and taken out in a timely manner to give customers a crispy, crunchy but flavorful taste.

Plus, to make the restaurant’s take on fish & chips a bit unique compared to other places, West Coast Fish N’ Chips cooks make their own tartar sauce, as well as their own cocktail sauce and ranch.

Both West Coast Fish N’ Chips restaurants are located within a mile of a mall.

The Fresno restaurant is one mile south of Fashion Fair near the intersection of Fresno Street and East Gettysburg Avenue.

The other West Coast Fish N’ Chips restaurant is across the street from the Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis, along Shaw Avenue between Cole and Sunnyside avenues.
