Short Reviews: Fish.
Set out on a pier overlooking the marina, Fish. is a casual, California kind of place. Except for the Marin County prices, and the lack of surfer dudes, it reminds me of a Southern California fish shack. There are picnic tables to sit at outside, and inside you get the same thing: picnic tables. However, unless it is raining or colder than San Francisco in the summer, you'll want to sit outside and enjoy the California sun and the view of the marina and its inhabitants. (Watch out for the hungry and highly-practiced seagulls though).
The menu is casual, sporting items like clam chowder (both red and white) shucked oysters, and a grilled fish sandwich; but it is also creative. You can also get "The Fish. Parfait" which is a parfait glass layered with Dungeness crab, salsa, tomatillo, lime crema, and cocktail sauce.
My favorite item here is "The Grilled Fish. Salad," consisting of a big bowl of organic mixed greens, croutons, carrots and cherry tomatoes topped with a choice of the day's fresh fish, grilled and deposited atop the greens. The dressing is served on the side so you can use as much or as little as you wish. Although this may set your personal record for amount spent on a salad ($20+ at my last visit), the fish will be seasonal, extremely fresh, seared—not even a bit overcooked, and perfectly seasoned with salt and cracked pepper.
Other interesting menu choices include Ceviché, a Crab Roll, a Fish. Taco plate, Fish and Chips, and a Tuscan White Bean and Tuna Salad. And then, there is the pun: a Peanut Butter and Jelly Fish. Sandwich which is a lot less interesting than you might think, but your seven-year-old will probably like it.
There is an extensive beverage list to choose from including iced tea and lemonade (continuing fish shack theme), and wine including Champagne (vamping on the Marin theme).
I like fish. I also like Fish.. Along with Sushi Ran, it's the best food in town. Highly Recommended
