Jacci's Fish and Chips

Location: 1020 Harris Ave

Is there a decent or even great fish & chips joint in Bellingham? Located in the heart of fairhaven in a refurbished london double decker bus, Jacci's outdoor seating area is often packed on sunny weekend afternoons. If you can find a table on a sunny day, the outdoor seating amidst the bustle of fairhaven is the highlight of the meal. The fish portions seem meager for the price: about $8 for 3 pretty small pieces. The fish is beer battered, frozen & tossed into the fryer when ordered. The pieces are thin & my salmon was a teeny bit dry & overcooked. However, my order of salmon & chips seemed to contain more fish than my partner's somewhat measly portion of cod & chips. The tartar sauce is the best I've ever tasted, it contains lemon zest - an outstanding addition to an otherwise boring condiment. The fries are also great, wedge cut & crispy. I would recommend Jacci's if you are looking for a fun place to sit in the sun & soak up the fairhaven atmosphere w/o breaking the bank.
