McGrath's Fish House is a seafood restaurant in Salem that serves a wide selection of fresh fish and shellfish daily, including alder plank salmon, halibut, razor clams, and regional oysters. The offerings change with the seasons, reflecting what is currently available from local waters.
The McGrath family opened this restaurant more than 40 years ago, building on their own experience in fishing. What began as a family fishing tradition developed into an established restaurant operation.
The restaurant blends English culinary tradition with local craftsmanship, especially in its beer-battered fish preparation, which follows regional Pacific Northwest cooking methods.
The restaurant is open Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with extended hours until 10:00 PM on weekends. Arriving during off-peak times helps reduce wait times, or you can book a table ahead.
The restaurant uses a wood-fired broiler to prepare fish dishes, giving them a smoky flavor not achieved by standard cooking methods. This technique is typical of regional cooking traditions and shapes the taste profile of each dish.
