The Fishwife - Portland

As for the ambiance, it has a family-friendly vibe. There are some intriguing decorations on the walls, but there were quite a few families with loud kids packed in, so it wasn't exactly the best spot for a romantic date. We'll definitely be back; this is some of the best fish and chips we've had in town!

Absolutely worth the effort! The steelhead, Alaskan cod, and seafood combo were all fresh and expertly prepared. The vegetables and potatoes were excellent as well. The salads had delicious homemade dressing, and the blueberry dessert was delightful.

Great chowder and fish. but be sure and check the specials board, because there’s almost always a non fish gourmet type thing. Tonight was duck confit fantastic!Staff is always friendly and efficient. We love this place.

This place is the safe landing your soul needs. And the butter n grease your heart was built for . it was a sanctuary for girl talk and come to Jesus moments about life in our 20s..also… how to procrastinate further the 20 page midterm paper no one had started . But once you smelled the fishwife settle into your clothes as you slide into seats , the world is warm , comfortable, and the food reminds you … midterms don’t mean anything in real life.Fishwife does

This used to be my go-to for fish in St. Johns. The staff is still excellent and the food is still good but it doesn't seem to be the same high-quality fair during the last year or so. I'm guessing this may have to do with the menu expansion, their increased popularity, or a change in the supply chain. Either way, I'd still recommend it, only with a slight caveat these days.
