Crispy’s Fish N Chips

736 East Fort Lowell RoadMidtown

Quaint little counter service restaurant, Crispy’s offers both white fish as well as catfish on its menu. The fish is breaded in a very well-seasoned cracker crust and served with steak fries and tartar sauce. Any other sauces, hushpuppies, coleslaw, or potato salad are on you to customize your Crispy’s experience. Also note, they have some big, reasonably priced family meals.

Kingfisher Bar & Grill

2564 East Grant RoadUniversity & 4th Ave

Fine DiningSeafood
Being the long-time “King” of Tucson seafood restaurants, of course, the Fisher made our list. They are serving up a classic fish and chips with Alaskan cod, “big” fries, coleslaw, and all the add-ons. The real beauty about Kingfisher, while practicing pescetarianism, is the copious amount of seafood options.

Mulligans Bar and Grill

9403 East Golf Links RoadEastside

Like a little whiskey with your fish and chips? Mulligans on the east side has cultivated one of the city’s biggest and most versatile whiskey lists. I digress, this is about the fish basket! Wild-caught Alaskan cod is hand-battered in a housemade beer batter and served with shoestring french fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce.

Sue’s Fish & Chips

2500 South 4th AvenueSouth Tucson

The sign on the menu when you walk to the counter exclaims: “One bite and we gotcha!” You have to love the bravado of this small yet colorful seafood spot. Their fish comes in combos with an option of pairing the cracker-breaded thin white fish filet with shrimp, scallops, or oysters, served with crinkle-cut fries and Sue’s Sauce (a hot sauce-laden take on a cocktail sauce). Tartar sauce is secretly available upon request.

Trident Grill

2033 East Speedway BoulevardUniversity & 4th Ave

Inspired by Poseidon’s three-pronged spear, Navy SEALs, and sports, Trident has garnered a reputation for providing great East Coast seafood dishes to Tucson. The fish and chips is no exception. Alaskan beer-battered cod, with all the fixin’s is offered up in a two and three-piece option. Add a cup of their famous clam chowder and you got yourself a really delicious way to stray from meat for the day.

UnCork'd Kitchen & Cocktails

6300 East Tanque Verde RoadMidtown

Bar Food
The dark and moody space also features a few bright magenta faux croc leather booths. Executive chef Noah Tellez recently worked at Mountain Oyster Club, where he earned a reputation as a “palate wizard.”
Enjoy a range of playful takes on pub staples with spot-on execution and superb triple-cooked fries. The beer batter on the walleye shatters with a delicate crisp. The tartar sauce packs a hit of fresh dill, while the green goddess slaw adds another layer of herby freshness.
