Delicious fish at Brigham Fish Market: Foodie Friday & FOWC

If you’re looking for some delicious fish while traveling in the Columbia River Gorge, check out the Brigham Fish Market in Cascade Locks, Oregon. This business is owned and operated by a local Native American family.

We like going there for the delicious fish and chips. The clam chowder is also one of our favorites.

In fact, this restaurant is so successful, it’s been featured in an issue of Food and Wine magazine. The article tells about how sisters Terrie Brigham and Kim Brigham Campbell are part of a family with a long history of fishing this area. After their preferred fishing grounds at Celilo Falls were inundated to create The Dalles Dam, their father and grandfather moved an hour down river. The sisters still use the scaffolds their family built for fishing.

The outside of the Brigham Fish Market building features beautiful metal artwork.

Inside, local artwork decorates the walls above the serving counter.

You can order your food and eat at the tables inside or outside. It’s always a pleasure to eat at places that offer such great views of the Columbia River.

You can also purchase freshly caught fish and seafood from the refrigerated cases.

This case shows oysters, Chinook salmon, and steelhead for sale.

This one advertises their brownies and ceviche.

This last one features their smoked salmon. We purchased some honey pepper smoked salmon and clam chowder to enjoy later. Delicious!

A second location opened in 2020. You can find the second Brigham Fish And Chips at Wildhorse Resort and Casino in Pendleton, Oregon.
