    We were told by some people in Santa Rosa and a few locals to dine here. Talk about some tasty seafood! One of the first places we saw as we drove into Bodega Bay. Situated right on the water, it looked so inviting. After an afternoon of exploring and then wine tasting we drove straight here to chow down. So many choices from fried seafood, to grilled oysters they know what they are doing in the kitchen. We went with the grilled shrimp tacos and each bite was so fresh and tasty. We also tried the award winning Boston chowder and it tasted so good in the cool sea air. Pricing was fair for what we ordered. We sat outside as tables inside are limited but plenty of outdoor seating. There were also heat lamps set up in the dining area for comfort if you were cold. A very large parking lot as there are two restaurants on the property. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to dine here again.

    Finally tried Fishetarian after having it bookmarked for awhile. Came on a Saturday for lunch and there were ~20 people in line. They have plenty of outdoor seating and are dog friendly so bring your pup! It was hard to decide what to get so my partner ended up with fish and chips and I got the fish tacos along with clam chowder. Fish tasted super fresh and was perfectly battered. Clam chowder was ok but didn't exactly hit the spot. I'm hoping to come back to try their calamari and lobster rolls! Service was friendly and they even came to give my dog water and a treat. Side note, cleanest portable bathrooms I've ever been in!

    Stopped here for dinner on our way up to Sea Ranch from the Bay Area. For us, it was an easy halfway point and an easily accessible area to grab some food stretch your legs, and enjoy some beautiful scenery. We had the lobster roll, fish tacos, and kids grilled cheese and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. A pro tip is utilize the outdoor kiosk to place your order in as it moves much quicker than the line inside.

    Saw so many mentions of this place online, and I would say well worth the hype. The food, the ambiance, the merch...everything is great! (Minus perhaps the crowded parking, which only speaks to the popularity of this place). I liked that you can order inside or outside at a kiosk. Came on a Saturday evening and wait time was about 15-20 minutes. You find your own table and wait to hear them call out your name for the order. I also liked that when you order a drink, you can pay $3 extra to keep a souvenir cup (and you can even request a new unused cup at the end too! So you don't have to worry about taking home a cup with remnants of beer or other beverages inside). The sauce bar has 5 different sauces, but my favorite was the Maui Wowie. I thought they all complemented the fish and chips really well! We got kale slaw instead of chips as the side, and it was a nice refreshing side to have -- it really cuts through the greasiness from the fry! I thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried: clam chowder, fried fish, and crab sandwich. There's definitely other things on the menu I'd like to try as well! I also love all the merch they have inside. Hats, towels, aprons, shirts, etc...the design team really creates great designs! I went home with a tshirt and some magnets, along with a "fish dad" hat as a gift. As a pro tip, if you stay nearby at Hotel Dega, it's walkable distance and then you don't need to worry about parking!

    Chips and shrimps combo. Regular fries but you can get sweet potatoes fries if you would like.

    Continues to be our go-to spot in Bodega. If you want to insure you get you food at a certain time order online. You can schedule it and in 10 years they have never been late for us. There isn't a added fee so use their website not Dash. They have done some upgrades in the past year and there is more seating and a heated covered area for those breezy/cold days and nights. We switched it up and got quite a variety this time. Check out the drinks too. The variety is insane. There is a pick up area where you can sneak grabbing an extra beer without waiting in the long line. Thank me later.

    Nothing beats a seafood feast along the Pacific coast! This is a cute and whimsical fish market and restaurant with orders coming from in and outdoor. I didn't really get to explore the inside as much other than to grab sauces (which there were several), but there's lots of seating outside surrounding the building. Also heard there's a store inside. We ordered 24 raw oysters, lobster roll, beer battered fish tacos, clam chowder, and a flight of beer. They missed one of our orders at first, but an employee stationed at our area immediately helped us out. The oysters were HUGE but slightly fishy. The fish tacos weren't the best I've had, but it was still good. I think the best item was the lobster roll. For $31 market price (August 2026), the roll had a generous amount of crab meat. They also offer a lot of potato/fries sides to choose from. The beer flight came in this cute fish gizmo that made the experience fun. Overall, I think this spot is highly recommended for a reason and I would definitely come back.

    4.5/5 Easy to order kiosk. Inside there are more snacks, cookies/candy and beverages. As well as some bakery goods. Outside seating. I ordered a lobster roll, chocolate chip cookie, and an original Dr Pepper. I liked the flavor profile of the roll. Although the lobster pieces were cubed, I wasn't mad at it. The brioche bun was lightly toasted and soft. Overall the lobster roll was a 4.5/5. Would come again.

    A seafood feast in Bodega Bay! We ordered a good variety to try--the hot Dungeness crab sandwich with sweet potato fries, Chowda' Fries, and the fried fish and shrimp combo with kale slaw. My favorites were definitely the Chowda' Fries and the fish and shrimp combo. The Chowda' Fries were pure comfort food--crispy fries loaded with creamy clam chowder, shredded cheese, green onions, and cilantro. Rich, messy, and very satisfying. I also really enjoyed the fish and shrimp combo. Both came out with a golden, crispy coating while the seafood stayed tender inside. A squeeze of lemon was perfect with it, and the kale slaw added a fresh, crunchy contrast to all the fried food. We also tried the hot Dungeness crab sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. It was hearty and filling, but between everything we ordered, the Chowda' Fries and fried seafood combo were the standouts for me. You can order inside at the counter or use the kiosk. One thing to keep in mind is that the food took quite a while to come out, so give yourself some extra time, especially if they're busy. Thankfully, there's plenty of outdoor seating, so we were able to hang out while waiting. Overall, a fun casual seafood stop in Bodega Bay. Come hungry, don't be in a rush, and definitely consider the Chowda' Fries and fish & shrimp combo!

    Lobster roll, salmon fish and chips, oysters

    A beautiful, whimsical place in bodega bay the place is modern, clean and plenty of beautiful seating. So glad I took the drive down here because it was a highlight to our trip! The lobster roll is nice n meaty with a warm bun The oysters are fresh and I never thought about putting sweet chilli on it!! So delicious! The salmon fish and chips were excellent & crispy . You order at the counter and they give u a buzzer to let you know when the food is ready. They have a large parking lot but seem to get full quickly!

    Amazing lobster roll! Packed with lobster

    Have driven by the fishetarian countless times on my was to Salt point state park. On our way back me and the wife decided to check it out without any research and we were pleasantly surprised! Great food, scenic views and a casual dinning environment. The staff was nice and helpful. As for food it was all very good our favorites were the clam chowder and calamari, the lobster roll was also very good and the fish and chips was probably our least favorite. It just seemed to lack flavor. The fish itself as well as the beer batter. Maybe a little more salt on both the fish and after the fry would help. The fries were very good and lastly the chocolate chip cookies was amazing! The big surprise of the day. Who ever makes those cookies deserves a cold pillow on hot nights for the rest of their days! It's definitely the new spot we will stop by on our way back home from a day of hiking. Oh also the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce was great and you serve yourself so if you go heavy on the sauce you don't need to worry about the sauce up charge

    I had seen a media piece that this place has the best seafood in California. That's quite the claim! Since we were passing through Bodega Bay we thought why not find out. It's right on Highway 1 and shared with another restaurant next door, supposedly owned by this owner's parents. OK, the parking lot is large but even at 1pm on a weekday it was difficult to find a spot. Luckily, we did. Parking karma! People were even parked along Highway 1. This place is very casual. Imagine a seaside fish market with outdoor picnic tables and benches. There's a variety of places to sit, waterside to in a large open tent-like structure. Since it was rather chilly we ate in the sun. Truthfully it wasn't that difficult to find an open table. There are LOTS of them. First, you order your meal. There are two open air kiosks or you can wait to order inside at the counter. We did the latter after perusing the menu board on the wall outside. Several items are 'market price'. We decided to try the fish and chips which comes in one of the daily available fish choices. As we got to the counter we saw that day it was halibut, which was just fine for us. The line wasn't too bad when we got on it, perhaps 15 folks ahead of us. Once we ordered we saw the line snaking out the door for a good distance. They do, however, move it along quickly. Since it was toward the late part of lunch hour many items in the display case you pass while waiting were already depleted. They also sell a lot of merchandise. Ordering was simple and easy. We were asked if we wanted 'beer battered' and we did. They handed us one of those beeper alarm devices and we were on our way to find a table. When the beeper went off I went to the counter and our order was there on a metal tray. One order with two pieces of fish ($22.) and one with three ($26.). There are large dispensers nearby for tarter sauce, ketchup along with napkins and rather flimsy metal utensils. (What makes me suspect people actually abscond with the knives and forks so best they be cheap. At least they're not plastic). Settling in to eat, the taste and tender juiciness of the fish was excellent, undoubtedly some of the freshest fish and chips I have ever had, including throughout England. I was pleased that the fish pieces were large. The batter was crispy and good and the three pieces I had more than substantial a lunch. I found the tarter sauce a bit watery but tasty enough. There's also vinegat and hot sauces on each table. The fries were also excellent. A bit of ketchup, sitting in the sun near the water- what could be better? I was in seafood heaven. Things are pricey but for good. fresh quality seafood it is worth it. Now, I want to try more! As I love and crave seaside seafood this is definitely a stop. It wasn't in Bodega Bay when I stayed here five years ago, but I suspect it will be around for a long time to come. GO!!!

    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!

    A classic stop for fresh seafood in Bodega Bay. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The beer battered fish and chips and the calamari are my favorites. They recently renovated and opened up the back building/patio area. It was my first time seeing the new space and I was impressed with how much additional seating was added. We were there pretty early around 11:30 after a round of golf at the links and managed to snag the last available table outside. There is a self serve sauce bar that has all the options you could want- tartar, ketchup, maui sweet sauce, cocktail sauce, chipotle mayo and more. The tartar sauce is my favorite and I always find myself going back for extra. The cocktail sauce is also amazing, with just the amount of horseradish in it. Whether you're looking for a place to eat or grabbing food to take to the beach, Fishetarian is always a good stop.

There was a bit of a wait for our party of 5 to get our food, but that just allowed us to take in the immaculate, picturesque views of the surrounding hills and ocean a bit longer. The food itself was hot and hit the spot--we got the fish and chips, a corn dog, and a seafood roll (they offer both a lobster roll and a crab roll served on a nice, buttery toasted bun with fresh chives). The only real limitation with the menu is that they do not have many drink options to choose from. There is a lot of seating available, so we managed to snag a great outdoor table. There were also a lot of birds hanging around, which got my dog super excited, and it was really fun to watch. It is great that this is a dog-friendly restaurant, and they even provide dog bowls out on the deck. However, the water in the bowls was absolutely filthy, and the staff didn't seem too bothered by it when it was noticed. The surrounding area adds a lot to the visit, with a kite and candy shop nearby and a cute grocery deli across the street. The food and views are great, making it a highly recommended lunch stop despite a few minor drawbacks.

The tartar sauce could be better, the coating on the fried fish was crispy and did not have too much oil. The fries were just okay. Small parking lot in front, I can see it overfilling during weekends or holidays. There are tables and chairs inside with a cool view of the road, more seats outside and also in their outdoor dining room. You order inside, find a seat and they'll bring your food out to you. Love their boathouse theme, you'll see cool boating elements throughout the restaurant.

I know Caesar dressing contains anchovies, but I was hesitant about having actual fish on my salad. I'm so glad she encouraged me to try the cooked anchovies on the side--they were delicious. Perfectly salty and a great complement to the salad. The pork chop entrée was perfection! The pork was cooked beautifully, and the bread pudding side was just as memorable. I'm not entirely sure what was in it, but it reminded me of garlic bread in the best way. The applesauce was also a nice touch. The halibut was cooked perfectly as well, and the mashed potatoes practically melted in your mouth. For sides, the grilled asparagus was exactly what you'd hope for, and the crispy potatoes lived up to their name, perfectly seasoned with a great crunch. The soup of the day was a creamy spring onion soup with crispy pancetta. Although just as delicious as everything else ordered, its the one plate we wished the portion was bigger for the price it was going for. We've eaten at plenty of restaurants, but this may be the first time where every single thing we ordered--from the entrées to the sides and sauces--was a 10/10. Needless to say, this won't be our last visit. It was absolutely worth it and such a memorable part of our anniversary trip to Bodega Bay.

    Everything about this gem of a restaurant is 5-star, from the friendly servers/host to the owner…read morechefs in the kitchen. All greet you warmly as you enter and leave their delightful restaurant. But the food--wow!! Best crab cakes ever--perfectly crispy on the outside, with moist, succulent flesh and an exceptional remoulade that complements beautifully. Scallops were likewise superb. Main dishes were served piping hot, crazily not easy for many restaurants to accomplish. But absolutely essential for my family of foodies. The pasta was out of this world with the rock shrimp and veggies, and such savory umami! The salmon was seared on the outside and tender and flavorful. Fish stew had a sublimely subtle fennel broth with clams, salmon and potatoes. We had to sop up the broth at the end. Desserts did not disappoint--and just as with food temperature, this is not a given. The chocolate cake was super solid. And then we tasted the 100% perfect passion fruit cheesecake. Tart/sweet balance was phenomenal and the texture managed that near-impossible balance of being light yet incredibly rich. Bravo! Perhaps the best restaurant in Sonoma County.

    Hands down the best dinner in Bodega Bay. Service is top notch, the food is delicious and the…read moreambiance is cozy. The sourdough bread from Santa Rosa is light and the seeds add the perfect texture. The crudo is light, and the sauce is the perfect vehicle to enhance the delicate fish. The duck was flavorful, perfectly cooked and the plating was simple yet sophisticated. The passionfruit cheesecake was the perfect ending to this one of a kind dining esperience. The only complaint I have is they only offer pre made cocktails instead of a true bar. But all in all fantastic!
