We stopped by here for the lobster roll and chowder, and it was so good!! The fish and chips were hot and fresh with good flavor as well. It was just your regular seafood place but it felt homey and cozy with great views of the waterfront. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Loved it all!! read more

Fisherman's Cove - Beer, fish and chips, clam chowder, lobster roll - Seafood Near Me - Bodega Bay, California

THE FRESHEST seafood! The food was excellent. We had crab sandwich - huge chunks of crab, and fish & chips. The sandwich was served with marinated carrot slices. They were awesome! The best fish & chips we have eaten. Served very hot and perfectly battered & cooked. Very unassuming place but very very worth the trip in. They do serve a good selection of beer and wine too! read more

This is the place for seafood, hands down! From crab to shrimp and fish, this is where you want to go! There's always a bit of a wait, but I promise it's worth it. The service is always friendly, and the outdoor atmosphere makes for a good time. There's indoor seating as well, just in case. :) read more

First time coming here. It was a Thursday and I decided to head to Bodega Bay. I ended up at Fisherman's Cove and got fish & chips and a small bowl of clam chowder. Both were served hot and tasty. I was glad they brought the soup first. It was piping hot but yummy. Customer service was great. You order, pay, they give you a number and you go and find a place to sit. There's seating inside and out. Keep in mind that there's a lot of bees buzzing around in the patio area. I found 1 where I was sitting (at the counter by the windows) I placed my empty chowder cup on top of it. (Don't worry I lifted the cup up as I left and let it free). They had a beer lager special and you had a choice if you wanted to keep the glass, I think that came out to $12. There's 1 unisex restroom. Parking can be a challenge. You can't park in the lot across the street at the marina unless you have a permit. I was lucky to find something on the street across from the restaurant. The popular Spud Point Crab Co is right next door, which also why parking is a challenge. It was busy for a random Thursday. I could only imagine what it's like on a Saturday. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area and will try other items on their menu I. read more

We ordered Clam chowder, fish tacos and crab roll. It was AMAZING!! You will not regret it. First of all, the clam chowder was PACKED with clams. The fish tacos (cod) were so good. You can order fried or grilled. I had them fried. Man o'man!! And finally the Crab Roll was DAMN GOOD!! You don't want to miss your chance and hand picked crab rolls. It was a nice touch having a side of the pickled carrots. Parking is a lil tough so pack your patience and expect to wait just a lil bit for your food. It too bad. Go, go now!! read more

Walk up to the counter to order and they bring their amazing food to your table.The line was long but moved quickly. The crab was pricy today but so worth it. The crab sandwich with dill aioli was the best! My hubby also enjoyed his tri tip sandwich with grilled peppers. The food came out quickly and was so yummy! We both mmmmmed our way through our meals. You can sit inside or outside. Nice, clean interior. We'll be back. read more

It was Valentine's Day so we decided to head out to Bodega Bay for some chowder and ocean views. When we realized where it was, it was really tough not to go to our favorite place next door, but wanted to give this place a try since it was highly recommended by a friend. The interior is much larger than expected with many tables in the main dining area and another smaller room of tables with a view of the boats docked across the street. You order at the counter, grab your number, and find a seat inside or out. They have several picnic tables outside. It was a windy day so we decided to sit inside by a window and it was nice and cozy. The tables were all full of happy diners. Our chowder arrived within a few minutes. They have two sizes and I was glad I ordered two larges. Their chowder has small bits of vegetables like carrots and celery and larger pieces of clams. It was delightful! Next came the 3-piece fish & chips. The fish was prepared perfectly, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The fries were hot and crispy, also cooked perfectly. The person taking my order was very friendly and outgoing. The whole place has a nice comfy vibe. I was impressed by their expanded menu. They offer crab sandwiches, lobster rolls, shrimp or oyster po boy, pulled pork or tri tip sandwiches and salads. They also serve prawns, calamari, oysters and several types of tacos. Next time I want to try their fried avocado. There is limited parking in their lot as well as street parking. read more

Popped in for lunch with family on a Saturday afternoon. As expected, it was busy but we were thankfully able to find parking in the small lot! Casual vibe, there was a line going almost out the door the whole time we were there but we didn't have to wait too long. Our party ordered a number of dishes- fish and chips, shrimp and chips, calamari and chips, fish tacos, and a pulled pork sandwich. Everything was pretty tasty. The fish was fresh and there wasn't an obscene amount of batter on the fried foods. Fish tacos were solid. Definitely a good spot to come to if in Bodega Bay! read more

Best fried oyster sandwiches ever--that first bite is always sublime! Served with pickled carrot "chips" which are The Perfect accompaniment. The crab sandwiches and clam chowder are also excellent. Don't be put off by long lines--they move pretty quickly. There's lots of seating both indoors and out, but you could also eat on a bench across the street at the marina and watch the boats. Or head up the hill to the Headlands and eat on a picnic table overlooking the coast and ocean--amazing! We like to eat sandwiches while hot, and take chowder home for dinner. read more

This is my second time to eat here. My friend says " you must try the BBQ Oysters". Oh my goodness, I've never had an oyster quite like that. The owner was so kind and made us a variety of flavored oysters. They were absolutely 100 percent out of this world! I had to order the halibut fish and chips my stand by favorite. You get three pieces of beautifully battered fish and just the perfect amount! I had a half bottle of Chardonnay that paired nicely with the oysters and fish. I got a Lobster roll to go for my husband! They have the best Lobster rolls in the universe!! The Fisherman's cove has indoor and outdoor seating! You order at the counter and they will bring you your food. I can't wait to go back!!! read more

So glad we stopped by on our way home from Sonoma Coast. Got the calamari and chips, fish and garlic bread, and clam chowder, all 10/10 would recommend. Don't be intimidated by the long lines, it goes by quick and the service was great! It does have a small parking lot but there was plenty of parking in the surround area. read more

Went to Bodega Bay to do some site seeing. When lunch time came ,we decided to eat at the cove. While waiting in line , we had time to look over the menu. They have a nice variety of fresh seafood and sandwiches. There's plenty of seats inside,and a few tables outside. The parking lot is small,and the street parking is limited. We ended up getting a shrimp po boy sandwich,cup of clam chowder. We started with the grilled oysters. Not really a big fan of raw oysters. They were perfectly cooked,warm buttery and a little bit of garlic. The shrimp in the sandwich were soft and pink. Got to give 5 stars to the cooks. The really do know how to prepare seafood. Everything came out tasting great. read more

I had to try the Portuguese soup in honor of my grandmother who made a very similar soup for me as a child and was not disappointed. My wife had the clam chowder and it was as good and any on the bay. It was a week day so not to busy for what is a local fast food place. The only issue was that they could go better controlling the fly population inside. Yes we recommend this place, you can always eat outside or take it elsewhere if the flys bother you. read more

Every year I visit bodega bay I find myself at a different spot for crab sandwiches, but this time I wanted to try somewhere new. Together, my boyfriend and I shared a crab sandwich, rockfish tacos (with no cheese), and killpatrick barbecued oysters. The oysters were the true star of the show! There was so much flavor, a balance of spicy, sweet, and salty, and had just the right amount of bacon on it. My tacos were standard as with the crab sandwich, but I will 100% return for those oysters! read more

I have driven by here with the intention of eating so many times! It is always very busy, like no parking and standing room only busy, so up until last week I didn't stop. Last week though we drove by once again and were delighted to see open tables and parking!! We had grilled halibut tacos and slaw. It was very good! Service was friendly. It was so good that I wanted to try something else 2 days later on our way back by and I had my husband just drop me off so I could order to go. I stood in that line for 20 minutes or so and wasn't even close to the front yet. So I decided it wasn't meant to be, but I am really glad we got to eat there finally! Anytime I drive by and see tables and parking, I will stop for sure! read more

The true rating id give is 3 1/2 stars. I got the crab sandwich from here which was good but didn't blow my mind. Came with a side of sliced carrots. I don't know if my expectations were too high but the flavor and taste I didn't think were worth the $28 price tag. The following day I got a crab sandwich at Spud Point Crab Co next door. I'd give spud point a slightly higher rating as I felt their crab sandwich tasted better and was cheaper at only $20. That being said, spud points crab sandwich was much smaller than Fisherman's Cove. read more

Food and service were great. Busy little place I would drive past and parking in marina parking lot next time. Our group had salmon tacos, chowder, fried oysters and fried avocado plus fish and chips plus coleslaw and a bag of lemon cookies to top it off. We'd order everything again except fish and chips. Those were plain. Great place I would definitely go again read more

Food was better than expected! The service was beyond great! Everything was piping hot that needed to be, and cold that needed to be. Sat inside at the bar in front of the window, so we had a great view and we avoided the freezing wind. read more

This place is located right next to Spud's Point so when visiting Spud's point, we had to come here to more food since they have way more things on their menu. The food was great but the price was a little high. The restaurant was casual and alive, which means very busy. We had to line up to order the food and then they brought it out. They had a few tables inside and outside but because it's so busy, it's hard to find seating. read more

Best fish tacos ever! I took my 86 year old mother there who doesn't eat much. I ordered her three cod tacos expecting to get two more for me. She finished all three large tacos!!! These were the best . read more

We were in the area and decided to give this place a try. We had the shrimp po'boy - (I recommend it), grilled butter oysters, and fries. Service was phenomenal, loved the person taking our order, he was extra friendly, welcoming and made the experience wonderful. You order at the register and they give you a # placard and they bring you the food. They do not allow outside food at this location both inside and outdoor. They do have outdoor seating here and allow dogs on there. They also have a small parking lot probably 8-10 cars could fit there. Prices were reasonable, food flavorful. read more

I've been coming to fisherman's cove with my family since I was a kid. Their oysters and Portuguese fish stew always had me coming back for more. Until today, not due to their food but due to their poo service. After I ordered our lunches I found a table outside while waiting on my family who were getting their dinner from Nextdoor at spuds. When my family came back we were rudely approached by their oyster griller and told we couldn't have outside food at their establishment. We weren't eating it but we were told we couldn't. It was our dinner for later. Meanwhile there was a family two tables over from us eating spuds food with all of their food scattered upon their table. When I told the man at the grill if you're going to have rules they should be for everyone as I was leaving he said he didn't know. As we were walking to our car he acted as if he was going to speak to them, shrugged and walked away. If you have rules, they need to be enforced for everyone. Again, we literally just brought it over as that was our dinner and what I'd ordered from fisherman's cove was our actual lunch to eat there but their staff didn't care. The other table was full of outside food and were told nothing about it. It was extremely disappointing especially since we come multiple times per year to enjoy their food. Service needs a course in how to deal with patrons. I would also like to add that I then tried to make my meals to go but was told they wouldn't do that with oysters so I'd have to eat them there. After being "scolded" for something we weren't actually doing- I had to sit there and wait for the rest of my food and then down it because my family was so uncomfortable that they left the restaurant and decided to leave at what would have been their dinner for lunch elsewhere because they didn't feel comfortable in this environment. Due to today's issue Fisherman's Cove has lost our business and we will be going to Spuds and Fishetarian across the bay. It's a shame that this is how Fisherman's Cove employees treat their patrons- especially ones who frequently patronize their establishment. Like I said, I've been coming here since I was a little kid, multiple times in the summers and off season/during the week when business was slower. Hopefully their owners realize that this is something that needs to be handled and fix how their staff treat customers. The guy working the register was great. He asked me if I needed my order for here or to go and I asked for half to go and oysters for here as the rest of my family was coming in shortly to order. So when I asked one of the female servers if I could get my oysters to go I was rather surprised to be told that they could t make oysters to go. read more

Service was friendly, prompt, and so welcoming! The ambiance echoed the feeling evoked by its name. The food was prepared perfectly and every bite was memorable. We enjoyed our lobster roll and clam chowder that we ordered some to go. The prices were a steal considering the portion, quality of food, and outstanding service that they offered. If I wasn't almost 2hrs away, I would probably go there regularly. If you are lucky to be an hour or less away, do me a solid and get yourself something tasty from the Cove. You can thank me after. :) read more

Cool little tourist spot when you're in bodega Bay. It will be very busy on the weekends so if there's a chance you can get there on the weekday then you are in luck. You might actually find a parking space. BTW, there is a large free parking across the street and up. My wife ate the fish tacos and it was halibut. Very tasty fish and fried lightly so it didn't overpower the meat. I got the clam chowder and honestly, it was one of the best clam chowder I've ever eaten. Very meaty and not thick or too many potatoes. I also had the fish and chips and it was friedto perfection. They have a housemate tartar sauce, which I like as well. Definitely my spot to come back to in bodega Bay. Lastly, they have a large dining area inside, but if the weather is right, definitely sit outside as there are around four or five picnic tables. read more

BBQ Oysters, Fish & Chips. Crab Sandwich, with a local cold brew. We ordered all three of these for lunch today..and they were amazingly good. The guy who checked us in and took our order was such an amiable person..and it set the tone for our experience at this establishment today. Not exactly cheap, but worth our while for a birthday lunch on the coast. The atmosphere is what you want when you're having oysters , a crab sammy, and delectable bbq oysters in the late afternoon in October on a grey and drizzling day. All good here. read more

This is what crab sandwich dreams are made of! I know there are a variety of places to get a good crab sandwich in the area but I have to say, the one at Fisherman's Cove is by far my favorite! The dill mayo with it, takes it over the edge. The only thing I would change is a slightly toasted bread instead of warmed but it was still amazing! We also got the fried oysters, which are plentiful! You get so many! And the chips were also incredible. The service was quick and everyone was so nice. I loved that there was indoor seating. As a redhead, I appreciate being able to escape the sun! read more
