“ The oysters were amazing! The raw oysters were shucked perfectly, I didnt have a mouthful of broken shell shards. They were fresh and great sizes. I dont normally like grilled oysters because I feel like all the toppings take away from oyster themselves, but the sweet heat was so good! It was a perfect complement to an already wonderful oyster. And I love that they give the garlic bread because dipping it in the juices after just filled me up for the perfect meal. It was raining the day we came so everyone was inside and the seating was not great... we had to sit family style with a bunch of kids screaming and running around. I did not choose to sit with the children... but the only table was a giant one, so I sat on the corner and then a family of 12 walked in and asked to sit at the same table, which of course is fine, but the rowdy children who kept asking me questions and screaming... geez. But other than that it was a great experience. I would 100 recommend and will be back on a day that it isnt raining. ”
“ If you are in Bodega Bay, if you are like me, half the reason for the trip is fresh seafood. This is the spot. Raw oysters, check....clam chowder, check.....fishermans stew, check......snarky but funny head guy behind the counter, check. You will rarely eat a fresher oyster.... They come in live from Tomales every day and the guy shucking them is just 20 feet from your table. I slurped a couple dozen. Great food and service and the basic eating areas inside and out befitting a fine seafood forward place. BTW they will cook or grill those oysters any way you can someone imagine if you are into that kind of desecration of shellfish. Fish and chips and that kind of fare are also top notch. ”
“ Its a popular place during lunchtime. The line is long. We ordered the halibut taco, cod taco and prawn chips. The fish tacos are better than the prawn. We also wanted to try the grilled oysters, but the server said it will take 45 minutes. Apparently the grilled oysters are the customers favorite. We sat outside with our dog. Its a family and dog friendly place. ”
“ Get the oysters, which are excellent and super fresh. We got two dozen for three people. Couldve had more. Service is good and there is plenty of seating. We got the lobster roll too, which was good but nothing special. Turns out they are imported from the east coast. The pork tacos were good but super spicy. ”
“ We tried both this place and the crab company next door. We love fishermans cove so much more. There are a lot more food options and the flavors of the dishes are just delicious. Highly recommend. ”
“ The BEST crab sandwich!! Such good flavor! Turn off the 1 and find this little restaurant. You wont be sorry!! I am back home in Connecticut still thinking about this sandwich. One of the best things I ate during my entire 12 day trip to California ”
“ The best oysters and fish n chips! Such fresh oysters, one of the best oysters Ive ever had. We also got the clam chowder and tacos. They do have limited seats but their staff is pretty quick at cleaning the tables for the next customers. ”
“ One of the best restaurants Ive been to while traveling. The entire staff is absolutely phenomenal. The cashier has a personality made to help the long line pass through quickly in a HAPPY way he really set the tone for the whole experience, and he made me notice the greatness of the entire staff. Food runner was super fast and courteous. The cooks were ON IT. We barely waited for our food. Long line was worth it 1010. Hope these guys are making the big bucks they deserve it!!! ”
