Newman's Fish Company

Specials daily, often my favorites are blackened fish or coconut prawns! I was notorious for getting extremely stoned before ordering a few options, all of which come with fries, a lemon wedge, slaw and tartar or cocktail sauce! It ends up being enough food to nibble family style with a couple people, or gorge by yourself! The staff is Generally quite friendly, and the service window pumps good food out on the regular! It was generally easier then trying to deep fat fry fish at home, and stink up the house... However, they also have a decent selection of fresh fish, to take home and prepare yourself! When it comes to tasty, crispy fried, quick fish and chips... Downtown, this is the place to go!

Pretty good fish and chips, great clam chowder. We got the cod, the salmon, and the scallops. It's quite different from British fish and chips, but certainly not in a bad way. In particular, the "chips" are fries which is standard here in the states and the fish is breaded in breadcrumbs rather than the traditional flour batter. It definitely went well with the salmon (which you'll probably never find at a traditional fish shop) and the scallops and still wasn't very heavy. The salmon and clam chowder (packed with clam flavor and very light on the cream) were definitely our favorites. The Cole slaw is pretty good too, I opted for it instead of fries and don't regret it at all. Fries come out nice and crispy, so you can't go wrong either way.

I had the cod fish and chips here for lunch at 11 during a weekday. Despite the crowded lunchtime rush, my food was ready quickly, however it was hard to find comfortable seating and I ended up claiming a spot at the wall-side counter area. The fish was delicious and steaming hot and fresh, and even glistened when split open by hand, but the portion sizes were much smaller than I expected to receive for the price. I received four pieces (bought 1 extra), and each piece of cod is about the size of three McDonalds chicken nuggets. Unfortunately the lemonade also tastes as great as it costs: Cheap. The man in the window was accommodating and served with a smile. He was very efficient in processing my order. Overall don't expect a smorgasbord of food, but Newman's has great customer service and delicious fish fry.

Lunch (cod fish and chips) was delicious. I also bought some lovely cheeses. There were fewer choices last time I visited, and I was worried they were going to stop selling cheese. The case was stuffed today though, and they were generous with the samples. Be prepared to pay premium prices for cheese here, but the selection and quality are worth it. If you are a connoisseur, you owe it to yourself to shop at Newman's. I picked up some sea bass as well, which was excellent. The prices for the fish are pretty competitive, given the quality. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I don't live in Eugene anymore, but I make a point of going to Newman's when I happen to be in town.

Our favorite place for fish and chips - and the ONLY place we'll ever go. Super fresh and crisp. And the best chips too. They could give lessons on the proper way to deep fry. The tartar sauce is home made and delicious.
