Cook’s Seafood - Fresh Fish & Chips in Menlo Park, CA

My go to place for high quality fresh seafoods for over 25 years, especially live Maine Lobster and live Dungeness Crab.

There is alot to like about this place. We had the Clam Chowder and Clam Chowder Bread Bowl. The clam chowder had great flavor. The bread bowl was good. We wanted two bread bowls, but for some reason, they only had one left. The service was friendly and professional. I would have preferred a real spoon, over the little plastic spoon, but not a big deal. They also have a fish market in the back, with great selection of fish and seafood. All the fish and seafood looked great and fresh. Prices were reasonable. I will post some pictures that show the prices. I recommend this once little place. We will be back.

This is my go to place for fried fish. They have cod or halibut fish and chips. The cod is good, but the halibut is spectacular. And the “chips” are good steak fries. They offer lots of other menu items besides the fish and chips, but honestly I’ve never tried anything else. There’s also a full fresh seafood market in the back.

A mom-and-pop type seafood restaurant. They have a seafood market in the adjoining building. Friendly staff, and open-seating tables for large groups, and booths for you or your small family. Great food - it's one of my favorites when I visit the valley.

5/15/2025 Cook's Seafood 751 El Camino Real Menlo Park, CA 94025 I went there with an old buddy for a late lunch on a Thursday afternoon. The place is on ECR close to Stanford. The ambiance is contemporary fast food, both exterior and interior. There is ample parking around the building. There is an order counter in the center of the building with an order board. With a fish market on the right and the dining area on the left. My buddy ordered the halibut and I had the Calamari and Chips with a 6 oz. Cioppino. Our food was brought to our table shortly. My Cioppino was loaded with seafood in a tasty tomatoey broth. My Calamari breading was nicely crunchy and very tender. The fries were okay but a little soggy. The halibut consisted of two thick fillets with a crunchy golden brown batter. I asked for cocktail sauce for my Calamari, this had a strong unpleasant clove taste. Great fast casual seafood value. Big menu selections, definitely repeatable.

Very good sea good and restaurant too. I got chopino soup and a crab salat. It was my first time trying both and i can say it tasted delicious and was very fresh and well prepared. The combination of a restaurant a and a fresh sea food market is very cool. Need to go try the fish and chips still, which i will do since i liked it there. Also, people inside were very friendly and wanted to make sure i am getting good piece of fish i came there for. Next time wanna grab king salmon, halibut, oysters and lobster. They said they dont have king crab these days, maybe next year. Enough parking space and easy to drive to. I recommend this place both to source ur fresh sea food ingredients and to drop by and have ready made meals. Thanks! Comming back

Best fish and chips in the Bay. Half fish and chips restaurant and half fish market. Some of the freshest seafood around

Really enjoyed our first time visit. Both cod and halibut were good but The lunch special halibut we felt was more tender and juicy. The cole slaw also tasted very fresh. Tried the special fresh oysters and they were chilled and fresh. Not much of an ambience but as long as the food is fresh and tasty then that's fine.
