    Our two crabs look small but were more than enough for the two of us to eat.
    James M.

    Once you have fresh caught crab you may be done ordering crab at your favorite restaurants. There is something about fresh caught seafood that is incomparable. The sweetness, the texture, the ease of cracking the shell, an education that will serve you well should you dare to order crab at a restaurant. You will know when it's fresh. We drove from Napa to Bodega Bay to get our crabs and it was well worth the journey. The guys at Paisano are friendly and the price is great. We purchased 2 crabs (5 lbs total) for $60. They take cash & credit. We used a cooler with a blue ice block to transport back home. The guys at Paisano told me that the crabs will stay alive in the cooler from 5 to 6 hours so all good. My wonderful wife turned these babies into a wonderful salt & pepper crab over garlic noodles dish that was to die for. I recommend calling ahead to ensure they are open and have crab.

    Huge and Fresh!

    Fabulous staff, not crabby at all! Even called at 6:30 am calling re: available crabs. Mmmm we lucked out

    On a very busy weekend we got quick service, good price, and 8 large, lively crabs. Highly recommended.

    Best crab ever!

    We picked up 2 large live crabs on 1/10/25. Excellent service! The best crab, so sweet, and no need for melted butter. $50 for the 2, we'll be back!

    This is a stand to buy live crabs not a place to eat. It looks more like a little shed with a huge tub full of live crabs outside. There was only one guy there when I went, he bagged the crabs up for us and we were on our way. They are located right next to Spud Point Crab Company. The crabs were very fresh and feisty. Its cash only.

    Fresh, perfect dungeness crab straight off the boat. Super nice, helpful people helped me pick a couple 2-pounders. Not super cheap ($5/lb) but couldn't have asked for better place to shop for dinner.

    Every once in a while, I go to a restaurant that knows how to do it. This was one of those places…read more It's not the fanciest place, but it's perfect for a fishing town. They have seating inside and outside. My mother had been craving fried oysters so I took her here. For some reason, not many places have fried oysters. I think this was the only place in the Bodega Bay area. Not sure why that is. Anyway, the oysters were 5 stars for my mom. They came with a dipping sauce. I think it was the garlic aioli. I ordered the chicken sandwich special that comes with chipotle aioli. I traded that for the garlic aioli. It was loaded with thin slices of chicken breast. I'm not sure what type of bread they used, but it was perfect for the sandwich. When we first ordered, it was Ash who took our order. He's so energetic and friendly. He is part of what makes this place special. They have an attention to detail and service that reminds of the Garden Cafe in San Rafael. I will be back even though I have to drive all the way from Novato. :)

    Lunch at Fisherman's Cove was great start to a weekend road trip!…read more Driving oceanside, you can't help but want a crab sandwich and fish and chips. That's what my boyfriend and I ordered, and were satisfied (not to mention fueled for our hike that afternoon). I agree with other reviews that say it's pricey for what you get, but you'll still have a satisfying meal. The crab sandwich is real fresh, I kinda wish they toasted the bread, but would still recommend it. It came with a few slices of carrot that seemed random IMO, but still ate it. Also, you can't go wrong with the fish and chips! Service was straight-forward - you order and pay at the counter, then take your number to seat where your food is delivered. Most people were sitting outside on the benches, which is where you wanna be, especially on a sunny day with a view of the water. But there are also chairs and tables inside. Parking can be tight around here. The lot outside the restaurant is very small, and the street/back parking signs can be confusing. (There were cars parking in zones clearly marked with "No Parking" signs.)

    We loved this place!…read more We were in Bodega Bay for a couple of days. Ate at Fisherman's Cove for lunch one day. Then came here for lunch the next day. The two restaurants are nextdoor to each other by the harbor. There's street parking - the parking lots are limited so we just parked in the street instead. Spud Point is casual. You wait in the line and order at the window. Then they bring the food out to you. There are some picnic tables and sunshades out front. Very easy and no pretense here! Here's what we ordered: Italian sourdough French bread $5 Red chowder $10 White chowder $10 2 crab sandwiches $20 each Albacore tuna sandwich $11 When ordering the bread, make sure you get some butter. The bread was absolutely delicious with crusty exterior and chewy inside. Perfect accompaniment with the chowder! We loved though New England white chowder. The Manhattan red chowder was fine, but we barely had half of it and took the rest home. The crab sandwich was great too! Tuna sandwich was good! There are other foods for sale at the order window - bags of chips, Crustable sandwiches. Can't wait to come back here! Wish I had the cooler with me to buy live crabs!!! BTW, I didn't see a bathroom here. But Fisherman's Cove (nextdoor) has one. It's just one unisex bathroom so there's a long line!

    My husband and I are from San Francisco, and we've always loved visiting Bodega Bay and Tomales…read moreBay. Spud Point Crab Company used to be one of our favorite stops, especially for their clam chowder. I've tried many clam chowders across California, and for a long time, I thought theirs was the best. Unfortunately, our recent visit last weekend was very disappointing. The clam chowder was not the same--it tasted average at best, and I would honestly rate it a C-. Even more disappointing was the $20 crab sandwich. The portion was extremely small--about the size of chicken teeth) and it was served on what looked like a hot dog bun. For that price, I expected a more generous portion and at least a decent, fresh, high-quality bread. I've never seen anything like this in the Bay Area, especially at that price point. It's really sad to see such a big drop in quality from a place we used to enjoy so much.

    You MUST try their amazing BBQ options!! Pulled pork perfection, brisket and ribs are all no joke!…read moreThese folks know what they're doing and they do it with love and bomb BBQ sauce! Clam and scallop chowder in a bead bowl makes for a great day at Bodega Bay. Owner Alicia is a local gem of a human and takes pride serving up family recipes to indulge in. More locals should patronize as they truly depend on tourists but when is midweek and not a slamming weekend, come support this awesome delicious casual dining with your dog on the chill patios. 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! This place effin rocks my palate and will impress yours. All meats can be sold by the pound as well so bring some home or to your hotel, everything packs well for a picnic at the beach or a late night when everything is closed!! Sorry no photos this time- we ate too fast ;)

    Well, I must say, Ginocchio's kitchen has a great great location!…read moreMy wife and I went in on a Saturday afternoon about an hour before closing. We were greeted right away and we placed our order. My wife ordered the crab sandwich which was quite expensive at $28 and I ordered the fish tacos. We initially went for the clam chowder, but decided to order something different. The crab sandwich was very good, but could've been better if the bread wasn't toasted so much on the outside. The fish tacos were a bit dry but had plenty of fish. I'm always in search for fish tacos as good as the ones at Zazzle's in Petaluma! Unfortunately, they closed a while back and I haven't found fish tacos as good since! I think we will come back and try the breakfast next time.
