On a recent camping trip in Bodega Bay, I stopped by the Fishetarian Market and it's was a nice visit. I was hankering for Clam Chowder and I was pleased to taste theirs. It was very flavorful, amply creamy, plenty of clams and just the right amount of potato chunks. It had a very balanced flavor. Their total menu was plenty and sure to please a small posse should you go with a group. The market has plenty of gift items, sodas, lots of to-go food and chotskies to convince you to gladly part with your money. There's a small dining area and the outdoor patio is pleasant. This place is worth a stop should you want to dine-in or if you need items for a little picnic.

I'll admit, we originally tried to go to Spud Point, but the line was so long it stretched into the street. We even attempted the spot next door to Spud Point, but the line wasn't moving quickly. Starving after an afternoon hike, we just needed something quick--enter Fishetarian! We arrived on a Saturday around 2 pm and were relieved to find only three people ahead of us. The line moved quickly, which was a blessing for our growling stomachs. We ordered three fish and chips with sweet potato fries (you can also choose slaw or regular fries). The process was easy: order at the counter, grab a buzzer, and wait for your food. They offer outdoor seating in the front and on both sides, but since it was a chillier day, we opted to sit inside. The fish and chips were the highlight--absolutely fresh, steaming hot, with a perfectly crunchy breaded coating. Their self-serve sauce station was a bonus, featuring an array of options: OG tartar sauce, Maui spice sauce, cocktail sauce, vinegar, two kinds of hot sauce, and their signature Fishetarian hot sauce, which was my favorite. Pro tip: grab a bottle of the Fishetarian hot sauce from their store before you leave--it's delicious! Parking is free, but the lot is shared with another restaurant, and it was packed during our visit. Despite the crowd, the staff stayed on top of things, regularly cleaning and wiping down tables, which we appreciated. We also grabbed a $4 blackberry drink to wash everything down. We finished with a $3 cookie that, honestly, wasn't anything to write home about. In the end, we were happy to have landed here. It hit the spot, the food was fresh, and the service was solid. Ambience was pretty lively on the weekend, but not too loud. If you're in Bodega Bay and want a great alternative to Spud Point without the endless lines, Fishetarian is a fantastic choice!

Been coming here since COVID and we still love it! So thankful the quality is still amazing with the most lovely staff. We also enjoy the outdoor seating to be pup friendly. Our go-tos are: crab sando, fish & shrimp basket, clam chowder, but really anything you have here is guaranteed to be fresh and simply scrumptious!

We finally stopped and tried this place! Let me tell you, it's been years that I have wanted to try it. But we always stopped somewhere else. Oddly enough, we found a parking spot super easy on a Sunday at noon. Went up to the kiosks and ordered our food. Then found a table in the back area with water access. Our food was prepared rather quickly and we dug in. I really enjoyed how the fish was almost made like a chicken schnitzel. It felt lighter and fresh. We also really enjoyed the array of sauces available. The seaweed salad was also delicious and did not disappoint. My only bone to pick is that I didn't know you could order inside from a live person. I really wanted to order chowder and was unsure of the contents (whether it had bacon or not) and this information was not on their paper menu or kiosk. There also offer compost, trash and recycling. Personally appreciated this touch and wanted to give an extra shout out.

The food was fantastic! I'm Celiac and haven't had Fish and Chips since I was diagnosed, no clam chowder either! We've been here several times now and everything I've tried is delicious. Shrimp Tacos - 5 stars Clam Chowder (in a bread bowl no less!) - 5 Stars Fish and Chips - 5 Stars I need to address the Tarter Sauce and the Cocktail Sauce both - 5 Stars Best of all, No Sickness! Thank you Fishetarian Fish Market!

Order in the market or kiosk. Find a seating area to suit your tastes and wait yummy. They small indoor, larger outdoor, picnic tables adjacent to indoor, heated tent, outdoor with view of grill and literally bayshore. Oysters were super fresh and the panko fish n chips were done right, where the fish is the star, not that over battered stuff in the UK. Plenty of beers on tap and extensive selection of beverages in the fridge. Can be busy lunch and early afternoon, much more casual late afternoon.
