13 Best Seafood Restaurants in Bodega Bay

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the bay.“

“Fish and chips were delicious! And the pickiest eater loved everything she tried!“

“Amazing place to get a bite. I’ve had Spud’s for a few years now. Their clam chowder is the best I’ve ever had. I live 2 hours away, but make sure I get down to bodega bay every few months. The location is awesome, parking can be not great if it’s the weekend and it’s busy. It’s also great they have specials and locally caught seafood. If you haven’t heard of Spud’s then I’m sorry for ya. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone.“

“You HAVE to stop by here! The crab sandwich is FANTASTIC (I inhaled it before I thought of taking a picture😆). The clam chowder is amazing as well! It even has tender scallops in it! You can sit inside or outside and the people are great, too!“

“Fabulous, fresh seafood to-go (or at the picnic tables) great service, too, just need to bring your own wine!“

“We sat at the bar and were there during Happy Hour. The fish sliders were delicious. The pan fried local fish was delicious. I had the Cajun pasta with blackened shrimp. The sauce on the pasta wasn’t as flavorful as I expected but it was still ok. The blackened shrimp were very good. Service was excellent. Definitely a great experience.“

“Must play !!! Sun, beach and golf“

“Hospitality and Service was friendly and professional, never intrusive. Little gems caesar was crisp, full of umami and had fresh tasty boquerones. Halibut filet was a generous portion, perfectly cooked, seasoned well and served with potato puree and broccoli rabe. Dark chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, raspberry/blueberries and hazelnuts was decadent not too sweet. Overall we enjoyed our food and experience. The space felt like a upscale steak house meets coastal lodge with large windows and a cozy indoor fireplace. Reservations are recommended.“

“We had a lovely experience here a few weeks ago... came here for our anniversary dinner and it felt very special. We sat at a small table righg next to the window, looking out at the water. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and we appreciated the recommendations she made. Everything we ordered was perfect. Delicious cocktails and salad, we ordered two sides - the crispy potatoes and sesame green beans which were both outstanding but I will be dreaming of those potatoes!! And entrees were the Pork Chop and the black rice bowl. The rice bowl was good but was a bit light and didn't quite match the rest of the items... but the Pork Chop was perfection and the savory bread pudding on the side was very unique and we loved it. We kind of shared a little of everything. We also got dessert, a chocolate cake, which was delicious. We left feeling very full but extremely satisfied. The food was very high quality and prepared perfectly and presented beautifully. You can tell that there is a lot of pride that goes into this operation. Also, I felt that for the quality of the food, the price point was extremely reasonable. We will definitely be back.“
