    This is definitely one of the more popular lunch spots in Sausalito, so expect a line -- especially on a sunny weekend. Very casual setup -- you order at the counter first and then find your own seating. Thankfully there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so finding a table wasn't difficult despite the crowd. They have a standard printed menu along with a pretty extensive list of daily specials. I ordered the squid (one of the fish specials that day) over a Caesar salad and really enjoyed it. Everyone in my group seemed happy with their entrees too. We also ordered an assortment of oysters to share. One note was that the waitress dropped them off did so abruptly without explaining which oysters were which. Overall, the food itself probably won't completely blow you away, but if you're looking for solid seafood with a great ambiance in Sausalito, this is still one of the better options around.

    Pretty long line but we took that as a good sign! Oysters were very fresh and good. We got 5 of each type (3 types). The rockfish chorizo style tacos were very good and seasoned well. Only thing disappointing was the "shoe string fries" which were not shoe string and also tasted kind of stale/not fresh. Service was quick and good as well.

    Saigon salmon sandwich

    After hearing this place STRONGLY recommended by my son, we stopped by at lunchtime. There was a huge line, but it was worth the 15 minute wait. Everything on the menu has a twist or a special ingredient--we had a hard time choosing. The bao tacos were made with crispy soft shelled crab on soft "bao taco shells", and regular fish tacos were a 10. The Saigon Salmon sandwich was incredibly flavorful, and the rockfish ceviche had a perfect kick. Wish we lived closer.

    Crispy Bao Tacos

    A fish smash burger and crispy fish taco bao buns? Yes, Fish has expanded their menu including a few new fun offerings that we just couldn't resist while in the area on a beautiful weekend evening. Fish in Sausalito is tucked away and has always been a (if ya know ya know) spot for me, although judging by the lines, the secrets been out :) There's parking and interior/exterior seating by the water ~ bringing the kiddo for this trip, we actually sat inside with a highchair. They also have a kiddo menu, and we ordered the best fish stick (and fries) plate. So hearty! For the level of expense each dish is on the menu, we def never leave still hungry. This is a type of spot where you order at the register, grab your number, and find a seat. The service is great (we had a few spills), and it's just a relaxing place to venture to. The fish smashburger comes with two patties of seasoned trout with white American cheese, pickled onions, and house-made tartar sauce. Yum! Very innovative and quite honestly, the first time I've seen smash burgers with fish! And the crispy bao tacos came with Korean buttermilk fried cod in a Kewpie chili sauce with garnish..delicious. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun! Also ordered a cup of the White Chowder to start. All in all, the fish tastes so incredible fresh here from dish to dish. The ambiance is just right. Love the innovative styles of bringing fish to flavorful menu items. A big win in our book for a 'treat yourself' moment.

    Crab empanadas
    Mileydi A.

    I've been to Fish a couple of times, and the food, customer service, and ambiance never disappoint. I especially love how family-friendly it is. My usual order is the fish and chips and a clam chowder bowl--they're always so good. This time, we also tried the crab rangoon empanadas and a poke bowl. Everything came out quickly, and we enjoyed our meal with a beautiful view. I really like that they offer both outdoor and indoor seating, which makes the experience even better. Definitely a go-to spot that I'll keep coming back to!

    Ceviche
    Gen M.

    The wait is always long but that's because the food is that good. They have a regular menu that you can check out while you wait but make sure to look at the specials on the chalk board once you get inside. Everything is good--from the expected fish and chips to ceviche in a sublime kicky mango sauce. It's seafood but with a thoughtful twist, like the trout loaded hot dog or the mussels in a delightful curry sauce. Plates are not skimpy and if it is a nice day you can eat outside at a picnic bench.

    Fish and Chips
    Tiffany D.

    Fills the sea spot when in front of sea water view and wanting the taste of the sea! Yummy fish tacos, fish and chips and white clam chowder! Their hot sauce with lime flavor, complemented well with the fish tacos. I adore the water view and a lot of seatings available all over the restaurant in different spaces. Parking was ample. A long line all the time to order the food. Staff was efficient with getting the orders out in a timely manner and friendly. Atmosphere is casual and nice.

    Korean fish Bao Was delicious!
    Tulina S.

    Beautiful spot for a lunch with a view.. lots of people agree as the lines are out of the door! Once you order at the counter , find a table and the waiter brings the food. Loved the clam chowder, crab roll.. other items on the table were the Fish hot dog(okay), salmon sandwich( huge dish). Must go for the views and fresh fish!

    Fish and Chips
    Zoe G.

    Beautiful spot to eat on the water, but the food was pricey for what we got. Had to get the fish and chips and the fish was not battered properly some parts were soggy and it fell apart easily. The fish itself was fresh tho with good cream of tartar sauce. We also got the fish tacos and there just wasn't much flavor. The outdoor seating was nice just maybe didn't pick the right dishes.

    Tuna melt with coleslaw
    Ethan S.

    I have eaten here probably 20-30 times and it never disappoints. Seriously. I do not exaggerate. It's Fish. So fresh and so good.... Allow me to explain. The setting: Sausalito on the Bay is a short ferry boat ride across from the SF Ferry Building or the first exit when driving over the Golden Gate Bridge. Fish sits along the waterfront near a marina filled with beautiful boats and a wondrous view of Belvedere and Angel Island. It feels like it was once an old fish hut or a bait shack in its former days. They have a fantastic outdoor patio with seating, and a cozy back room filled with comfy chairs and a book nook. The food: I consistently order the following items, for not because I do not wish to try anything different, but because I love these dishes so much and I cannot get enough of them. The tuna melt is perhaps the finest tuna fish sandwich I have ever had the privilege of knowing. The portion is huge, enough for two people to easily share, served on thick sourdough toast, and with your accompanying side choice of french fries or asian flavored coleslaw. The fish and chips is a proper English style batter with a generous portion that can easily be shared by two or more. Delish. There are two variations of Clam Chowder; a traditional New England style and a red Portuguese stew that is delicious and anything but spicy. Both are good, although I wish this was served in a sourdough bread bowl. For a shared dish, try the kettle chips with the old bay seasoning. So yum. Side note: I have never tried the trout hot dog, which I'm strangely intrigued by, nor have I tried the fish Reuben sandwich. Maybe one day.... They also have a crab Louie salad that looks amazing. They have a few beer and wine offerings. The staff are accommodating and friendly. The prices are fair for the quality and freshness of the product. Fish. A must visit for any traveler to San Francisco or Marin County.

    Soft shell crab bao
    Farah A.

    What a great find!! Fantastic food, and great location right near the water. Not far from downtown but away from the crowds. For starters we had guac and chips which was particularly good, and the crab Rangoon empanadas which were fantastic. I had the soft shell crab bao bun which was pillowy and savory and just right!!!! Our party also had the fish and chips, and the crab roll which was noted as best he'd ever had Beer and wine only with a variety of local options.

    Bao tacos
    Fanny C.

    Always yummy food at fish. Came in with a group of coworkers on a rainy April day. Place was packed as usual. Have to order a cup of clam chowder whenever I come here. And fot the fish and chips. Biggest pieces of fish and chip you will ever see. I do wish that I would've been able to sub for string fries vs potato wedges. Coworkers ordered fhe bao tacos and salmon burger.

    Fish and Chips, The Fish. Louie
    Harrison H.

    Best place for fresh seafood if you're craving fish and chips, a bowl of chowder, or a batch of a dozen oysters. The staff here is extremely friendly and even threw in an extra oyster for us when we ordered a dozen. There's plenty of seating if you're coming with a large group or want a casual meal to enjoy the beautiful Bay Area sun. I highly recommend the fish and chips!

Our server apologized several times for the long wait, and that genuinely made a difference. She was attentive, checked in on us, and even brought out warm bread and butter to help make up for the delay. Her efforts did not go unnoticed and were appreciated. That said, the delay wasn't her fault. The issue falls on the kitchen, FOH management, and/or the GM. On a major dining weekend like Father's Day, service and execution should be a priority. If you know it's going to be a busy holiday weekend, staffing, preparation, and ticket times need to be managed accordingly. We've been waiting over an hour for our entrees, and while we're fortunately not in a rush, that's simply too long given how empty the restaurant appeared. The food itself seems to be good, but the wait time is ridiculous and takes away from the overall experience. I would only recommend Salito's if you have plenty of time and aren't in a hurry. If you're looking for a quick or efficient dining experience, you may want to look elsewhere. The server did what she could to make the situation better, but ultimately the kitchen and management let her down.

This is definitely on the more expensive side, but for a special lunch or a first-time visit, we felt it was worth it. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the location made for a memorable experience. The only service issue we experienced was at the beginning of our meal. It took approximately 15-20 minutes before we received water, and guest ( they knew pretty well ) arrived after us appeared to be served immediately by 3 different servants with water and wine. We felt a bit overlooked and unwelcomed during that time. However, I do want to give credit to our waiter, who recognized the delay and apologized, which we appreciated. One additional surprise was being charged $2 for hot water with lemon. As someone who does not drink iced water, I often order hot water with lemon and have never been charged for it before. On a lunch bill approaching $150, that charge felt unnecessary and a little unwelcoming. It certainly wasn't about the $2 itself, but rather the principle of it. That said, the food and overall experience were excellent. I would not take any stars away because this place is truly a gem with delicious food, gorgeous views, and a welcoming outdoor dining area for guests with dogs.
