I have visited Fishetarian many times, and it is consistently amazing in every way! Everyone I know…read morewho has been there says the same thing. It is SO worth the drive to Bodega Bay! Here's the scoop: Everything they prepare is fresh and well done. Their fish and chips,and fish tacos lightly coated, fried to a delicate perfection. Moist, plump and delicious. The calamari is always done perfectly, never overcooked or chewy, but buttery soft. If you've never had calamari, try it here first and it is bound to set the bar too high for any other place you try it. You can order outside a kiosks, or get in line inside. There is a cooler of drinks (soda, kombucha, iced tea, etc) each for $5.00. The small but mighty menu is posted on the wall behind the register, and they do offer gluten free options. I usually share an order of fish and chips, or get the crab cakes which are very large, tender and filled with crab. Fries are offered with meals, or there is a delicious kale salad you can have instead, which is really yummy. Sweet treats like cookies, cheesecake, rice krispie bars etc are near the checkout register. They have sundries, and t-shirts which were moved to the porch and fun to look over. There is a fun "sauce station" near the exit, where you can fill small paper cups with tartar sauce, Maui Zowy sauce, cocktail sauce, etc, and a water dispenser with filtered water. Recently they completed a renovation, and expanded covered seating just behind the main building, open at both ends so the bay can be seen. There are heaters above the tables inside this area, perfect if the air is chilly. Also standing heater towers near the picnic tables in the front. They added a few more portable (higher end) portable toilets on site, which are kept super clean without any smell. And the staff are super helpful and patient ( like when you are ordering food and want it all and cannot decide what to get!). Eating at the Fishetarian is amazing and so worth the drive to the bay.

Service was good up to delivery of meal…read more We were in a group of six and the first twos order was delivered twenty minutes after the rest. Same order - delivered late. Fish and chips were okay, had been cooked a second time and dark brown color that peeled off the fish dripping grease. Chowder was okay. Period. Nothing to write home about. There is better food nearby. Sorry we ate here. Counter help said, "well it gets served when it is done, yours just took longer." Same foods widely misplaced in line. Not a fan.

Glad we held out to get here. After traversing along the coast from Point Reyes National Seashore,…read morethis was a great spot to finally eat. Crab Sandwich- pricy for the portion but not for the taste. Absolutely incredible and one we will get all the time. Chowder- probably #2 all time chowders. Boston Sail Loft in Boston MA is my favorite but this place comes close. Sourdough bread- skippable. I was expecting it to be similar to Boudins but it paled in comparison Line moved quickly so don't let that deter you.

Would come back for the crab sandwiches! We stopped by early in the morning before heading back…read morehome, so unfortunately we couldn't order crab cakes to try. The New England clam chowder and Manhattan clam chowder were decent in my opinion. The soup was not too thick and I thought the Manhattan clam chowder could use more tomato base. The crab sandwiches however... WOW! One might say the sandwiches are a bit pricey, but I think it's justified with the amount of crab meat they give you. It was so good that I ordered another sandwich to-go for later. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but there were some spots available on the road behind the shop. Limited seating and I hear there's usually a line later in the day.

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.

Normally we go to the Fisherman next door, but we heard that the $21.00 crab sandwich was amazing…read more So we took a drive to see how amazing it was. 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.

The staff were incredibly friendly and, even though we arrived a few minutes after the kitchen had closed, they kindly accommodated us and made us a pesto chicken sandwich. The sandwich was one of the best pesto chicken sandwiches we've ever had--so flavorful and delicious! We also had the pasta verde with pesto sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, carrots, and peas, and it was just as delicious. I definitely wouldn't have expected food this good from a market! Highly recommend this place for the food and great customer service!

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.

The beef was good on its own- amazing with the barbeque sauce. My son got the fried egg sando and loved the thick bacon. Then I saw this shiny chunky cake thing. They told me it was something monkey bread. I couldn't find it on the menu and they said it was on the very top: Caramel Bacon Monkey Bread. I was totally stuffed after my breakfast but I had to try it. They heated it up! It came out piping hot and I burned my tongue. Worth it! Bacony, chewy, sweet. I couldn't finish it so I brought it home and microwaved it the next day. Still awesome. You should get it.

We had actually never tried Boat House before and one of my friends recently recommended it so we stopped by. Omg!! We have definitely been missing out. The fish and chips are perfectly cooked and I consider myself quite the fry connoisseur. Fish is fresh and the batter wasn't too oily. We also got the clam chowder with a bread bowl and we should have gotten two because we were fighting each other over it, lol.. Didn't get much of a picture but I definitely recommend if you're in Bodega!

This was 1 of the 5 spots I tried spanning over 2 weekends in bodega bay…read more This was not my favorite clam chowder. The chowder was hearty, but it tastes like chicken noodle soup. I couldn't really taste the clams. I would not get this again. The fish and chips were solid, I would get it again. You get 4 pieces of fried fish on a bed of fries. 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.
