We came here after a tip from a weather beaten whale watching local and then never went anywhere else. We wanted good food, not expensive and we got it. Excellent chowder in a sourdough bowl; fine salmon burger and fries. Never got round to the fish taco which I now regret. The place is pleasingly shabby in a good way.... More

We always stop here for BBQ oysters when we are in Bodega. This time we tried the fish and chips too - crispy batter, tender white fish - awesome! BBQ oysters slightly disappointed - same price, same #, but they were sooooo much smaller than usual. Overall, absolutely worth a stop.

Very casual place that has great fish and chips and calamari. They really know how to fry seafood-the oil was at the right temp-not greasy at all. For our taste the fries could have been in the frier a minute longer but still very good.

We went there last year, a short walk from Bodega Dunes Campground. Great BBQ'd oysters, Fish n Chips and Clam Chowder. Small and quaint, clean and friendly. We will return when in the area.

This is a no frills place that offers good fresh seafood. Not much atmosphere. The clam chowder was as good as I've ever had, not too thick and not watered down. The fresh cod fish and chips were good but not special. A simple place with average prices.

The seating is scenic, easy parking and great chowder, chuck full of lots of tender clams, thick soup, and served pleasantly hot!! The barbequed oysters are a wonderful addition to the chowder! Very clean, full of atmosphere!

We each ordered a fish and chip basket and had way more food than we needed. The portions are generous and I beleive we could have split a portion for each two and all been satisified. We also order some grilled oysters and they were fresh and had a great smokey taste, Recommended as quick, reasonable prices and good food.... More

My wife had the fish and chips and thought they were good. I had a steak sandwich and it was very good. The chowder was only average.
