We loved our lunch at Swiftwater yesterday. We ordered the crab cakes and two half and half fry baskets (half shrimp and half halibut). The shrimp was the best part and we both wished we had ordered more of it! The fries were very similar to McDonald's, which is high praise in my opinion. The perfect mix of soft, crunchy and salty. The Patio overlooking the harbor was the best spot in Whittier! View all feedback.
What Molly S doesn't like about Varlys Swiftwater Seafood:
A little run down overall and its very small inside. The clam chowder was average and nothing special. Food was less than spectacular and overly priced. No bathroom. View all feedback.
One of the best Halibut and chips. Please try if you explore this area. Quite busy at lunch time. No problem if you are not in a hurry, because you can enjoy the beautiful scenery behind the restaurant area. Recommended for all families. Thank you for beautiful lady who served all the customers with lovely smile. Will come back again.
My boyfriend and I got the half and half (fish and chips with shrimp and halibut). The fries were seriously so good! The fish was lightly breaded so you are definitely get good chunks of meat and they were tasty as well. The staff was very nice and enjoyed the atmosphere of this cute place.

Incredible spot, views could not be better, feels like I could have watched the boats go by for days. Halibut is light, flaky, juicy, tender, moist, everything you could want. Shrimp were also a delight! Staff is incredibly friendly and the defore fits the scene. A must stop when in Whittier.
