Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

History of SPUD

Q: When was SPUD Fish & Chips founded?
A: SPUD Fish & Chips was founded in June 1935 by English-born brothers Jack and Frank Alger. The first location was on Alki Beach in Seattle, offering delicious fish and chips during the Great Depression. Since then, Spud customers have enjoyed the same recipes established by the Algers in Juanita and Edmonds nearly 90 years ago, including other fresh seafood hand-breaded daily. Locals know it is always “The Spud” (never Spuds). FISHTORY
