This was hands down the best beer battered gluten free fish and chips I've ever had. My husband said it was delicious too and he couldn't even tell it was gf. They have gf churros with Carmel sauce...delicious! It's been 10 years since I've had a churro. Sweet potato fries were great. Customer service was excellent. They brought our pups water while we were eating on the deck. Incredible view of the bay from the deck with a nice atmosphere. If this place was in San Diego I would be a frequent diner! Thanks for the wonderful gluten free menu!!! read more

Love the new dining area inside and outside their restored Fish House! Food and service were fantastic.

Fishetarian, definitely a word I'm all about! I'm a seafood girlie through and through and so is my family. After horseback riding, my Mom was in the mood for lunch and chose to come here. We arrived on a weekday and it was somewhat quiet. I could see this place getting busy with weekend crowds. When you arrive, they have a couple tablets you can self order or you can go inside and order with the workers. Their market has food on display, little trinkets, drinks, and much more. It's also where you pick up your food. They have a lot of seating outside. Plenty of tables near the restaurant, tables inside an open air building, and tables bayside. It's common to share communally. Most items are self serve such as utensils, takeout bags, etc. there's also a couple bathrooms. Service is efficient and nice. My family and I got Chowda Fries, Bowl of Chowda, Grilled Rockfish Sandwich, and Lobster Roll. I enjoyed my sandwich which I got with sweet potato fries. The rockfish was mild and slightly sweet with plenty of tartar on it. I enjoyed the bites of my mom's delicious lobster roll and the creamy rich spoonful of chowder. I'd recommend these items and would get them again! Fishetarian Fish Market is a must try if you're visiting Bodega Bay. It's charming, relaxing, and the food is good. There's a decent amount of parking in their giant gravel lot. I can't wait to come back! read more

We visited Fisheterian on a Friday afternoon, and it was bustling, but the service was efficient. You can order either at the counter or through the outdoor kiosks. There's also plenty of seating available, both indoors and outdoors. We ordered half a dozen raw oysters and the combo fish and chips with fish and prawns. We opted for the panko breading. The oysters were fresh and delicious, the fish was flaky, and the prawns were substantial. The fries were solid as well. I also really appreciated their selection of sauces. Next time, I'd like to try the fish and chips with the beer batter. I have a feeling I might prefer that style even more. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu. read more

We took a day trip up to meet with family and my wife's been wanting to try this place for years. First off, we had the pups with us so it was important to use that this place along with the neighboring restaurants were dog friendly! They even came out to see if we needed bowls of water for the boys. Cool evening with a little sun. Perfect setting! Lots of tables available just have to wait till people finished and cycled through. We weren't too hungry but wanted to try a few things. We had a 12 count of raw shucked and a 6 count of grilled oysters. Clam chowder, lobster roll, fish & chips combo and some caviar for my niece to try. Everything was great, oysters were fresh and buttery tasting. Calamari was cooked through and the breading stayed crisp! I didn't really dig into the lobster roll or clam chowder but it was reported to be delicious! Caviar was good. Wasn't off putting or leave an off taste afterwards like some do. We come up a few times a year even further to ocean cove and we're gonna make it a guaranteed stop when we're near. read more

Beautiful location the food headed amazing presentation and high-quality taste. My daughter had the rockfish sandwich. My wife had the lobster sandwich and I had the in-house lam chowder which was amazing and also the chowder fries. I was surprised they actually poured chowder over the fries and they were delicious. The location is absolutely stunning on the Boina Bay with views of all the boats in the water and the animals out in front. We got to watch the seal swim by and all the aquatic birds. Beautiful day there. The service was fast and attentive. The place was clean and they had plenty of outdoor seating. I would go back there again in a minute and recommend it with great Pride. read more

On a stretch of coast where windless warmth and real sunshine are rare, I caught a sunny evening with very little breeze, and Fishetarian delivered. Skipping the line by using their outdoor kiosk ordering system, I selected a fried rockfish sandwich on a ciabatta roll with jack cheese, greens, tomato and tartar and sweet potato fries, it came quickly, and I ate at their picnic bench area on the beach. Nothing fancy, but I would happily revisit this meal: the fish was fresh and sustainable, the fries were hot, ordering was easy, and the view was fogless & coastal. Sometimes that is exactly the experience you want. Worth pulling over for. read more

After many years of passing by the busy lot for Fishetarian, I finally stopped in for an early dinner, last Saturday. It wasn't too long of a line since it was around 4 and between the lunch and dinner crowds. It's all order at the kiosk or counter, where you get a buzzer and pick up. Considering the name, I was happily surprised to see some vegetarian options, including tofu tacos and a veggie sandwich. I opted for the tacos which were a good size portion and a nice mix of flavors. There's plenty of outdoor seating, with and without heaters, both covered and open. It offers a no fuss, simple bay view dining experience. Very casual (and chilly-dress warm!) with a friendly vibe. The staff were very upbeat and helpful. I'm definitely going to add this to my go-to Bodega Bay spots. read more

Such a cute market! I love the whole design and vibe of this place. I got to try their fish and chips, bread bowl and calamari. Their fish and sweet potato fries are good, but I thought the bread for the bread bowl was okay. Calamari was good too and they have so many sauce options. It took maybe 20 minutes for our food to come out, so be patient and it can get packed pretty fast. But abundant seating options and you get a great view of the bay read more

Cold beer, fresh fish, amazing views. Pretty much all you need to know for Fishetarian. They get busy, but they move quick to get everyone their food and drinks. And the wait is completely worth it. Definitely not cheap, but for the quality it's worth it. Don't think I've ever had a bad experience here. Get your drink, grab a spot and enjoy the view and ocean breeze while you wait for your food. They're dog friendly as well, and it's a great spot to sit outside with your pup. read more

Fish n chips were bland and definitely needed more sauce and seasoning. Unfortunately, all the hot sauces on the table weren't hot at all. The raw oysters were just ok, but the grilled oysters were 100x better. The clam chowder was good. Overall, it's definitely on the pricier side for mid-tasting oysters, but there aren't many nearby options. The patio has a beautiful backdrop, although it was way too windy to comfortably sit outside. The customer service was Great, but I wish the food was more memorable. read more

Fun place, lots of cool options and cute gift shop. I am surprised how much it is recommended though. The actual food was not great. I had fish tacos and friend had fish sandwich and they were so bland. We drenched them in chipotle mayo to make them edible. I also had chowda fries and wish I'd just done a bowl of the chowder. That was good. read more

Very popular spot and great location with a view! Came with friends and was recommended this spot. Very busy and long lines. You can also order on the kiosk outside. Maybe it was an off day but unfortunately the food was just okay to us. I tried the combo of fish, shrimp and chips basket. The sweet potato fries were probably my favorite. I enjoyed the shrimp over the fish. The clam chowder was lacking flavor as well. read more

Fishetarian Fish Market - Fish and Chips Combo w/ shrimp. Clam chowder w/ side of bread - Seafood Near Me - Bodega Bay, California

food was decent and service was okay. having a fish market by the ocean is very fun and there's lots of outdoor seating. good for large groups. easy to order system with ordering tablets or waiting in line to order. my order got forgotten. had to ask about an update and they seemed to lose track of it but luckily they started making it right away. after receiving the food, we realized they got an item wrong, giving us fish when we ordered prawns for the fried combo. it still tasted yummy so it was okay. honestly all the food was missing a little flavor so i really enjoyed all the sauce they had available. the lobster roll was really rich and the bottom was super crunchy but there was a bit too much bread. the baja fish tacos were good but you definitely need the sauce for it to be yummy. we got sauce on the side to make the food not too soggy but you need it for the flavor. the old bay, tarter sauce, and the maui wowie sauces were required to bring the food from a 4 to a 8. fish itself was so fresh; the batter was just not that great. this place is more of a 3.5 in my opinion but after the lack of flavor from all the food and no crispiness from the fried food along with the order being forgotten, i had to round down. the sauces however. 10/10. keep it up with that sauce bar. i also love all the merchandise available for purchase. got some tinned fish and packaged chips so im excited to try those together. this place definitely has potential but i feel like my experience was just an unfortunate poor one read more

Been here a couple times and this place is never a disappointment, well maybe the parking but patience will pay off. My wife "won" a gift certificate to Fishetarian at the Farm Bureau Crab Feed and we were excited to be able to use it yesterday. We ordered clam chowder, fish and shrimp tacos, fish and chips, lobster roll and fried prawns. All very good but my favs - the chowder, fish and chips and fish tacos. We sat down by the water. A little chilly but beautiful view. Expect a lot of people but the staff moves things along pretty efficiently. Like I said earlier the food is worth the wait. read more

When in Bodega Bay, do as they Bodegans do. Oysters by the bay, anyone? When you're ever along the northern coast, seafood is what you get when you're here. After a hike at the Estero Americano Preserve, my hubs and I were famished so we saw what was around the area. And this spot popped up. It was maybe a 5min drive from the trailhead, parking was easy. It's counter service so you just fall in line, order at the register and they hand you a beeper to let you know when your food is ready. We ordered the +octopus salad (delicious dressing) with a cup of +clam chowder ($5 more and you can add crab). But the piece de resistance *chef's kiss* had to be the +grilled oysters with garlic butter. For $25, you get a half dozen of these large fresh oysters plucked out in the bay smothered in garlic butter. We opted for warm sliced +sourdough bread to soak up the remaining juices. Highly rec stopping by if you happen to be in the area. This absolutely satisfied our hungry tummies. read more

This place is so popular it always has crowds, but they've added so much more to make it manageable! There are now two kiosks out front at which to place your orders and was huge water facing our structure with heated lamps and walls on two sides filled with picnic tables and friendly staff plus quick water and tidying stations. Whatever you choose, will be excellent! Photos are on my friend's phone and will be posted shortly!! read more

Come here about 15-20 minutes before they open at 11AM. You'll be able to find easy parking, and we were also second in line to order! On our way up to Fort Bragg, the Fishetarian was one of our stops to grab lunch. We ordered the fish and chips with beer batter and panko, and the grilled oyster. Everything was suuuuper fresh and so delicious! The breading on the fish added a nice crunch and the rockfish was suuuper flakey and delicate. We ordered the garlic and butter and Maui wowie sweet chili grilled oysters and those were really tasty as well. We able to sit outside in the far back area with benches. We sat in front of the area overlooking the water, and it was peaceful and quiet. We were surprised with so many customers coming in, no one was sitting at the area except for us. read more

Had a quick trip to bodega bay and stopped here for lunch. Ordered a fish and chips and grilled oysters. The fish and chips were different than traditional, it had a panko outer crust so it had a little more crunch than usual. Fries were solid. The grilled ousters we ordered with butter and garlic, no complaints. They had outside seating and you order inside where they also have different souvenirs you could buy. A little on the pricier side but that's to be expected when ordering fresh seafood in Bodega Bay :) read more

Took a scenic route on our way from San Fransisco up to Santa Rosa, which took us through Bodega Bay. We stopped at the Fishetarian on a Thursday afternoon for a quick lunch. There was no wait to order. There is both outside and inside seating. More outside than anything else. If you are going when it is cold, you will want to sit inside. The restaurant is also the gift shop, with lots of souvenir-type items. My wife and I shared some fish and chips and a bowl of clam chowder. Both were made fresh and served hot. We enjoyed our meal very much. It's wasn't "the best ever", but it was good. The clam chowder was not as thick as I would have liked. It was a little bit on the watery side, but still was hot and tasted just fine. Something that was pretty unique were the drinks. All of the drinks (soda) were the same price and you could select from many different flavors. They did not have your normal Pepsi or Coke but instead some unique soda flavors. That was pretty cool and allowed us to try something different. read more

Stopped by Fishetarian Fish Market in Bodega Bay while out on the coast. Great location right by the water and definitely a busy spot !! We ordered online about an hour ahead, but still had to wait another 20 to 30 minutes once we got there. Staff looked a bit flustered, but it was clearly very busy so it was understandable. Inside was pretty loud as well, just something to expect during peak times. Fish & Chips The fish was okay. A bit on the flakier side and not as moist as I was hoping for, but still decent overall. Fries were standard and did the job. Grilled Oysters (Garlic Butter) These were the highlight for me. Buttery, garlicky, and flavorful. Simple and done well. Overall, it is a solid stop if you are already in Bodega Bay and craving seafood. I would come back if I am in the area again, but probably would not make a long drive just for it. read more

Only a few places open in Bodega Bay area on a Wednesday after hanging out at the windy beach that were family friendly. This place is excellent. We had the oysters that were smothered and butter and chives. 10 out of 10 We also got the clam chowder bread bowls We never really set our expectations very high when it comes to clam chowder bread bowls whenever there's outside seating But wow delicious. 9 out of 10 totally worth it pretty reasonable too for a family of 3 $100 .. read more

Nice and quick over-the-counter fish and chips spot that serves more than the average seafood fry place! The default for fish and chips is crumbed, which is super crispy, and comes with many choices with either a full on order of fish, or half and half with calamari and other choices. They have beer and wine, and hot chocolate! The service is quick! You can either order on a kiosk outside, or go inside and order in person next to the pick up window. It's basically an open air restaurant with benches and tables outside with some heaters, and they also have a barn out back to stave away the wind. Very delicious, very casual, and hits the spot! read more

The line moves fast and they also have a kiosk for ordering. Service was quick and easy! They share a parking lot with another restaurant but most people were able just to park on the roadside too. It's was chowder day so it seemed busy! Fried prawns were just okay. The shrimps seemed like they were fried ahead of time and sat under a lamp because they were just soaked in oil. But the fries were fresh. Clam chowder was delicious though better than Seattle I think! Fried calamari was good though just enough breading was really good! A must try place if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Order at the counter and take a seat! We loved the chowder and lobster roll - the 'crab cakes' are more like 'fried crab balls' - we didn't love those. The service is great staff is very friendly and the view is great on the wharf. I would stick with fish tacos which is what we usually order - the lobster roll had a rich sauce that I would have on the side if I ordered again. read more

My friends and I stopped by Fishetarian Fish Market on the drive back from Bodega Bay around 11:00 a.m. right when they opened. Although the parking lot was fairly empty when we arrived, by 12:15 p.m. when we finished our meal and were driving off, the parking lot was completely packed. I would definitely recommend arriving early if you don't want to have to circle around for parking. My wife and I shared the beer battered, non-panko version of their fish and chips, as well as a large clam chowder bowl to share. We didn't have to wait long for our order and within 15 minutes, our name was called over the loudspeaker for pickup inside the store. Across from the pickup counter is a bar of condiments, including tartar sauce, chipotle mayo, and their "Maui wowi sauce" (a sweet chili sauce). Here you'll find bags of oyster crackers for your clam chowder as well. On the picnic tables outdoors, you'll find wooden baskets containing various hot sauces and vinegar. The battered fish here is crispy, but is ever so slightly on the oily side. You'll want to grab a bunch of extra napkins if you're using your hands instead of a fork and knife. I really enjoyed the flakey texture of the fish inside. It's perfectly cooked and is moist and tender. The chowder is thick and warming, and there's plenty of clam bits inside. Unlike some clam chowders where you get 50% filler potatoes, potatoes are minimal in this chowder, so you're really getting your money's worth. Overall, if you're craving fish and chips, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fishetarian Fish Market. Plenty of drinks available inside as well to go with your meal, and outdoor seating if you have dogs that you want to bring out with you. read more

The restaurant was packed when we got there around 1:30pm on a Sunday. They were busy! Although for how busy they were, the food took only about 20 mins to come out after we ordered. Which makes sense because they cook everything to order. We ordered a few things from the menu. The lobster roll, the oysters, and the fish tacos were delicious! The crab sandwich was a bit disappointing, though, as there wasn't much crab flavor at all. I could only really taste the onions and celery in the sandwich. read more

The staff is so so so friendly and helpful that you feel like you're experiencing another era when businesses were allowed to express personality and uniqueness. The food is always on-point. If you'll take the opinion of one recurring customer, the fish tacos or fish and chips with sweet potato fries are the best in the county. This place has a recipe for success and I hope they never lose that magic touch. Warning, parking can be difficult, which is only an indicator of their continued success. read more

My bf and I were craving oysters and this place popped up near our hotel. We ordered: fresh oysters, fish and chips (sub sweet potatoes), fried combo and their clam chowder.

For the fried combo, it was battered nicely and seasoned well. The weather was a bit gloomy so we chose to eat inside. I can tell if it was sunny, sitting outside would be beautiful!

We ordered to go but stayed to eat it We had the chowder in their sourdough bowl, fish & chips and shrimp tacos. Although they were busy the service was fast and outdoor seating area was clean. A staff member even offered to turn the heaters on since it was a bit chilly. The sourdough bowl was fresh and soft and chowder was flavorful. The bread soaked up the flavor!
