The restaurant opened in Encino, Los Angeles, in 2014,[5] and operated there until June 2016, when owner Jason Killalee announced plans to operate Batterfish as a food truck in Santa Monica, California, starting on July 15. [6][7]

In 2017, Batterfish was featured on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (season 27, episode 3).[8]

In 2020, Batterfish began operating from a food cart at the Happy Valley Station pod in Happy Valley, Oregon.[9][10] The business relocated and became a brick and mortar restaurant in southeast Portland's Sunnyside neighborhood in 2022, operating in a space which previously housed Char Latin Grill.[4]
