Service is at counter and then they bring to you. Food was good: -Grilled oysters w wasabi: 4/5. Wish they had come out first instead of last. - Lobster roll: 5/5. For the price it is really small but they don't cover up the lobster by adding cabbage or lettuce so that was a plus. -Shrimp Po Boy: 4/5. Good flavor but needed more seasoning and again was very small. On weekends this place was packed every time we drove by so beware.

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!

Saw so many mentions of this place online, and I would say well worth the hype. The food, the…read moreambiance, 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!

We took a drive out to the coast yesterday from Healdsburg to cool off in the summer heat. It was a…read morenice windy drive through Graton and Freestone. We eventually arrived there around 12:45 PM. Spud Point is a cute little shack right across from the harbor, but the parking is terrible so keep that in mind. We waited in line for about 5 minutes and ordered two clam chowder soups which were $9.99 each, one crab sandwich which was $21.98 and one seafood sandwich which was $19.99. Menu is pretty limited and no fish and chips. They immediately provided the food so I assume they were pre-prepared in the back and you could see the pots of soup boiling outside. We brought our dog as there are only outdoor picnic tables to sit at, but there seemed to always be a spot open. There were also benches across the street overlooking the bay where you could hear the harbor seals barking, to view the fishing boats. The clam chowder was very good, one of the best I've ever, had not too thick with a lot of cut up smaller clams and a bacon flavor. There's only one size which could be split with two people, and we still have leftovers. The sandwiches on the other hand are incredibly small and served on almost a hot dog looking bun. You definitely need one for each person as it would be too small to split. I am used to the crab sandwiches at Nick's Rockaway in Pacifica, which are absolutely delicious and feed two people for about $42. The crab sandwich (1/8 lb) here was very fresh and the seafood sandwich (1/4 lb half bay shrimp and 1/4 lb half crab) was also very good. I believe the owner has his own fishing boat and he catches the seafood and fish daily as there was also halibut for sale in market shelf. Weather was cold and foggy as is normal in Bodega Bay. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone if you were in the area, but I would try either Fisherman's Cove or Ginocchio's next time for the crab sandwich if you wanted something more hearty.

Aesthetically speaking, this is my idealized fish market. It's got it's own unique vibe -- very…read moreBodega Bay-y. You can find plenty of ready-made goodies to eat on site or to take away for a picnic. We prefer buying fresh fish on ice to take home to cook ourselves. Beautiful halibut, oysters, mussels, clams, crabs, prawns, calamari, swordfish, rockfish, tuna, salmon, different smoked fishes, scallops.. I guess I don't need to list out every single fish they sell, but that's off the top of my head! I've only ever bought fish that was fresh and good -- we haven't had any poor experience or purchases. Outside of the headliner, seafood, they also sell a fantastic assortment of cheeses, deli meats, wine, jams and jellies and pickles and olives, oils and breads. Everything you need for a quintessential northern california meal. Except for fresh produce, go to Diekmann's for that! Prices are a little up there, and it's certainly become more "touristy" over the years, but that's just the nature of capitalism, y'all.

Yes, it's been kept cold in my fridge for three days and yes I do smoke a lot of fish myself so I know the shelf life is quite a bit longer than that! There's no reason to sell patrons totally over-due items like this! And incidentally the smoked herring I also bought at the same time is just fine! You should be ashamed of yourselves!

You should be ashamed of yourselves for charging guests $36.00 for food that is flavorless. I bought a medium size cup of Clam chowder for 12.00 and what we got was Potato Milk soup. One bite and I took it back to the counter. Nobody greeted me for 8 minutes. When I was finally approached, I asked the owner if he tasted the soup as it had no clams, and no flavor. He said maybe they didn't stir it and ge proceeded to get me a new cup. Again we tried it and yet again Potato Milk soup. The $ 21.00 Crab sandwich was really 1 oz spread out on Toasted sourdough with 1 piece of lettuce, 2 slices of tomato. This tasted like a B.L.T without the bacon. Mayo overpowered any taste of crab. The highlight was the$ 4.00 frozen fries. They were served hot, perfectly seasoned and just the right amount. We won't be coming back, we will stick to The Fisherman next door.

They offer anything you can possibly need from groceries, sundries, produce, and wine to fishing supplies. To top it off you can come in and order a sandwich, a burger or a pizza. Service is friendly and helpful. We came here a couple times while visiting Bodega Bay for items we had forgot to bring. We tried the burgers and the pizza and all of it was tasty. What I loved was the parking lot that had a great view of the ocean. They offer long hours of 7:00am - 9:00pm. Whether you want a quick bite, heading out for a day at the beach (picnic), or heading out of town be sure to stop here.

Fresh fruit & veggies, packaged goods. We couldn't find prices on some of what we were buying so we brought them to the register to ask. And some prices on the shelves were old. It's It ice cream sandwich for $3.49. Calypso lemonade for about the same price. Box of Mike & Ike's has 99 cents on the shelf but it was $3 or something. They take ApplePay so that makes it easy!

Great place great people. During restaurant week they topped over 100 crab sandos to very happy folks! With no shortage of clam chowder around, the offerings at Ginochio's stand out and truly deserve more than 5 stars!!!! You're welcome in advance!
