Alamar Marina: Sacramento’s Waterfront Answer to Classic Fish and Chips

There’s something undeniably right about enjoying fish and chips by the water. At Alamar Marina, that connection between sea and plate feels natural — even though you’re miles from the coast. Tucked along the Sacramento River, this hidden gem delivers a waterfront dining experience that feels worlds away from the bustle of downtown.

Alamar’s version of fish and chips captures everything fans of the dish crave: a golden, crispy batter that shatters delicately with each bite, encasing fresh, tender fish that flakes perfectly. The key is balance — the batter is light enough to let the natural flavor of the fish shine, never heavy or greasy. Paired with hot, crunchy fries and a squeeze of lemon, it’s simplicity executed with precision.

The atmosphere seals the deal. With boats gently bobbing nearby and a relaxed, nautical vibe, dining at Alamar feels like an impromptu seaside escape. It’s the kind of spot where time slows down — you savor your meal, watch the water, and maybe order another round just to extend the moment.

For locals and visitors alike, Alamar Marina is proof that Sacramento can hold its own in the fish-and-chips world. It’s not just about great food — it’s about that easygoing, coastal feeling that lingers long after the last bite.
