If your looking for great seafood - make sure you stop here. Not big fancy restaurant - just great food! Being a fish nut I always get the Cod plate and add a few prawns. I’ve tried the crab roll and that’s Uber fabulous. I always take a pint of chowder home for tomorrow. The staff is lovely and in the summertime you can enjoy the ducks on the river while you eat! I found this place 3 years ago and it’s the only place I will get my seafood in Seaside. When I have a craving I’ll drive the 32 miles from home just to eat here. Don’t pass this one by! And did I mention the pineapple coleslaw?
This place is a must stop even if you're just passing through seaside ♥️ it's my birthday and all I wanted was a fresh crab togo for dinner and they have the best crab dinner so hot and so much flavor and cooked fresh on the spot! Comes with butter, coleslaw, and bread!
We also got a bowl of their clam chowder but I ate it so fast that I didn't get a picture, The soup is extremely flavorful.
See you next time!
A favorite stop for many years! I first visited almost a decade ago and have loved them ever since; a must-stop when I'm in the area. Both the restaurant side and market side are great — the crab melt and halibut fish & chips are excellent. I love grabbing some smoked fish or salmon jerky for a snack on the way to Ecola State Park. Service at the market side today was charming and witty, too. Plus, they have the best neon sign! I usually get takeout since there isn't much seating, but the picnic tables are great on a sunny day.
Seriously, the best fried fish I’ve ever had!
The seafood here is SO fresh you can taste it even though it’s fried!! We had the “captain’s plate”. Every single item in that basket was super fresh, the batter is light, airy, and crunchy (The batter recipe must be bomb). Came with coleslaw and fries.
The staff is also super nice, gave our dog water and even shared a sample of their chowder. Would definitely come back again.
They were very sweet and gave us complimentary samples of chowder since it was our first time. We enjoyed eating outside on the picnic tables.
But the food! Wow!!! We got the Captains Plate where you can try an assortment of seafood. All of it was delicious and perfectly cooked. The oyster and prawn were melt in your mouth! So good! Would love to come back.
I had such a great time at the Bell Buoy of Seaside! Their halibut fish and chips were seriously amazing – loads of fish and just the right amount of breading. What's even better, the staff was super nice, and if you've got your furry friend with you, you can chill outside with them. The prices were totally fair, and I'm already planning my next visit when I'm in Seaside, Oregon!
We bought 5 pounds of local fresh clams to take home the next day, but 1st, lunch here was amazing. Lightest & crispiest batter on local fresh cod fish & razor clams.
We love this place and always come by a few times when in the area. Staff are friendly, food is always fresh, the captains plate and whole crab dinner is to die for ! They also have the best homemade cocktail sauce. ❤️

This restaurant has a reputation for the best fish n chips in town, and it didn't disappoint. We also heard that they source their seafood within 50 miles for max freshness.
We had previously had fish n chips at a different place and were unimpressed, but Bell's was fantastic. The halibut was super fresh and crispy. Portions were generous. My son tried the cod and really liked it.
There's a neat map of the coast on one of the inside tables. We chose the outdoor seating to enjoy the nice weather.
We'll definitely be back!
BEST SALMON JERKY 🏆 Im a native Oregonian, so I have grown up eating salmon, specifically smoked salmon, since I was a little kid …. and Bell Buoy has the BEST smoked salmon I’ve ever tried. Even my own daughter kept eating it and eating it. 😊 This is the best salmon jerky on the beach so far.
We stopped by just to see what they had, and I was greeted warmly by Jessie. I had a nice conversation with her, and we talked about their upcoming clam chowder. I bought some of the smoked salmon jerky without any pepper, and it was absolutely delicious. Probably the best I’ve ever had. This deli is stocked full of fresh, delicious seafood and so much more: cooked prawns with cocktail sauce lots of salmon jerky. And apparently they’re going to have some wonderful clam chowder coming up soon. Since clam season just started four days ago, there isn’t any available yet, but I plan to give this restaurant the fifth star once I try third clam chowder. I will definitely be back.
