Best Fish and Chips place, I've had in San Jose. Fish is so tender and taste amazing. All the sides from onion rings to fries, macaroni and churros etc., are worth coming here for. My favorite place!!!

Might just be the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The breading and how they fly it is unique and very flavorful. Price is good for seafood and I’ll definitely be coming back

Shark Boy never disappoints! Their menu is simple but everything is delicious. The fish is seasoned perfectly and fried to perfection. I've had their fish tacos before too, which are also amazing. Can't recommend this enough to anyone in the area looking for some good food for a good deal.

Ordered takeout, and it was ready when I arrived! I ordered the 2 piece fish and 4 shrimp box, and it was enough for 2! The piece of fish is huge!! Both the fish and shrimp were seasoned well and tasted great with some lemon! They gave me 4 sauces to try, and I enjoyed the bang bang and lemon garlic butter. The breading on the fish/shrimp is soo crispy, reminiscent of a breading/panko type batter? Would definitely come again!

We had the fish and shrimp, it was sooo good!! Try the shrimp with lemon garlic butter sauce, man it's amazing!! The coleslaw was excellent. If we are ever back in San Jose, we will definitely come back!
