OUR STORY
Q: When was SPUD Fish & Chips founded?
SPUD Fish & Chips has been serving the Pacific Northwest since 1935, when brothers Jack and Frank Alger opened their first location. Nearly 90 years later, we still hand-bread fresh seafood daily using those same classic recipes. One important note: it's always The Spud — never Spuds!
Q: Where are SPUD Fish & Chips located?
We have two family-owned locations:
• Edmonds: 174 Sunset Ave S, Edmonds, WA 98020 — right across from the ferry landing
• Juanita Beach: 9702 NE Juanita Drive, Kirkland, WA 98034
Each location is independently owned and operated.
MENU & FOOD
Q: What types of fish do you serve?
We serve wild-caught Alaskan cod and halibut, sourced from local partners known for their sustainable fishing practices. Both are hand-breaded fresh every single day.
Q: Do you offer other seafood beyond fish?
Absolutely! In addition to our signature fish, we serve fresh hand-shucked oysters, prawns, calamari, and breaded clams — all fried in our original batter mix for a classic, crispy finish.
Q: Are there vegetarian options?
Yes! Our vegetarian menu includes fried mushrooms (sourced from local Washington farmers), fried zucchini (available on a limited seasonal basis), onion rings, Caesar salad, and coleslaw. Plenty to enjoy even if you're skipping the seafood.
Q: Do you have milkshakes?
Yes — milkshakes are on the menu and they're naturally gluten-free too!
DIETARY & ALLERGENS
Q: Are your fries gluten-free?
Yes! Our fries are naturally gluten-free. They're made from potatoes grown in Washington and Idaho, lightly seasoned with sea salt, and cooked to a perfect crisp.
Q: Is your batter or breading gluten-free?
No — our signature batter and breading contain gluten and are not suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
However, the following menu items are gluten-free:
• French fries
• Coleslaw
• Chowder
• Caesar salad (without the homemade croutons)
• Milkshakes
Q: Do you have allergen information available?
We're happy to help with allergen questions. Our seafood is fried in shared fryers, so cross-contact with allergens is possible. For specific allergen inquiries beyond gluten, we recommend contacting your location directly before visiting.
HOURS, LOCATION & PARKING
Q: What are your hours?
Both locations are open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

Q: Is there outdoor seating?
Yes! Both locations offer outdoor seating with beautiful water views. The Edmonds location overlooks the Puget Sound ferry dock, and the Juanita location sits right along the shores of Lake Washington — a perfect Pacific Northwest dining experience.
Q: Is there parking available?
Parking availability varies by location. The Edmonds location is near the ferry terminal with street and lot parking nearby. The Juanita Beach location has parking adjacent to the park. We recommend arriving a little early during peak summer months as both spots get busy!
