Fishetarian Fish Market

Late December 2025 Local seafood restaurant serving at an informal and very casual bayside setting Fresh and seasonal seafood and catch is quickly served and doled out at this shack style fisherman's wharf at the renowed Bodega Bay region. The serving sizes are ample and the sides generous. Picnic style eating with plenty of seating arrangements laid out all across the lot. Modern conveniences in ordering is available as well to help manage the queues. Merch store also worth perusing with a mix of imported goods. Drink options are very varied There is also a nearby beach at the outdoor tables that you can walk off a bit of the food coma Parking is tricky especially with the large number of visitors All in all a great spot to visit and recharge on a road trip to this region

Found this place online and it did not disappoint! The clam chowder sourdough bread bowl was amazing! The fish/ prawn and sweet potato fries were also really good! I would definitely recommend! They also have picnic tables right beside the water- we were lucky enough to see 4 seals! They have 2 options for ordering- kiosk outside or inside at the counter.

A Must-Visit in Bodega Bay! We absolutely loved our meal at Fishetarian! Every bite was incredible — from the fresh, flavorful fish tacos to the creamy clam chowder bread bowl that hit the spot on a coastal day. The garlic oysters were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and we loved washing it all down with their ice-cold bottled sodas. And don’t even get me started on dessert — the brownie bar was rich and fudgy, and the raspberry cheesecake was the perfect sweet finish. The staff was friendly, the ocean breeze set the perfect vibe, and everything tasted as fresh as it gets. If you’re anywhere near Bodega Bay, do yourself a favor and stop at Fishetarian — it’s coastal comfort food at its best!

This place is tricky to rate. The food is overall solid, with the Lobster Roll being the clear standout—one of the best I’ve had, with buttery bread and generous lobster. The Clam Chowder was tasty but not memorable, and the Fish & Chips didn’t quite live up to the hype. The real challenge here is logistics. Parking is tough—both the lot and nearby streets are packed. Seating is limited (a handful indoors, mostly outdoors), so we ended up ordering to-go, which still took about an hour. The packaging is nice, though the stylish disposable cutlery could use more functionality. On the plus side, their branded merchandise—hoodies, totes, tumblers—looks great, even if browsing is tough with the constant crowd. If you’re patient and manage expectations, it’s worth it for the lobster roll alone.

Some of the best clam chowder I've ever had! Perfectly balanced flavors - sometimes I have a hard time finishing chowder because it's too creamy but this was just right! Bonus points for the house made hot sauce that pairs sooo well with the chowder. The sourdough was also incredibly fresh! We ate outside overlooking the bay which was awesome. Highly recommend!

Looking for an affordable place to eat while visiting Bodega Bay? This is one of couple of choices. Friendly staff, good food, easy to order and outside eating. It can be chilly so bring a jacket while you eat the delicious food. If you are looking for an ocean view, sorry this place does not offer that so you can take the food to car in the parking lot to give you a view of the bay or sit on the couple of benches which are nearby to sit and enjoy the view.

We came to Fishetarian on a Saturday around 2pm for lunch on a coastal girls weekend road trip. Ordering at the kiosks was straightforward, and we were able to get a picnic table outside by the water. It's a popular stop, so we waited a bit for food, by it's so nice just sitting by the water. There is ample outdoor seating from the waterfront tables to the tented area and side of the restaurant. We split the calamari and barbecued oysters, and I tried the chowder and ordered the fish tacos for myself. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, definitely worth the wait. I ended up falling in love with their hot sauce and brought multiple bottles home. Would definitely stop here again on our next road trip north.

We had a lobster roll and calamari with chips. The lobster roll was stuffed full and tasty. The calamari was cooked well, but the breading didn't stick to well. It was good enough to order again. It was 6pm on a Wednesday evening and was busy, but didn't have a long wait for food. No real service, but it was clean. There's seating inside and out. Go past the doors for tables by the water. It was tourist expensive. $80 for the two items and two bottles of tea.
