Spud Fish & Chips
Included In
The Green Lake Spud (not to be confused with Alki Spud, which is owned by Ivar's) has been a fish and chips institution in Seattle since 1940. Recently, this classic decided to rebrand itself and subsequently get really into natty wine. We all have that friend.
But we're happy to report that Spud's rebirth is the best thing to happen to Green Lake since people started walking their dogs around it.
The interior remodel is slick, with a lot of white subway tile, multicolored wood, and a Coca-Cola-branded fridge stocked with bottles of funky Slovenian skin contact and fizzy vinho verde. But you can still expect the same breaded cod that's so juicy and tangy it's like eating a mozzarella stick, hand-cut potatoes consistently fried fresh, relish-y tartar sauce, and some of the greatest onion rings in town. Pair them all with a big pickle or glass of pink bubbles—or, more realistically, both. For a quick, simple seafood lunch on the lake, it doesn't get much better than a trip to Spud.
