I can’t believe I failed to check-in. Anyways, The Dead Fish is one for the books. I loved everything about it! The location, the vibe, and most especially the food!

The food and drinks were delicious. The Cioppino and Shrimp Alfredo were flavorful. Parking is a bit tricky to find and making a reservation is recommended. Definitely want to visit again to try the other things on their amusing menu.

It was my first visit, but won’t be my last. Server was very nice and made recommendations. I had the crab angel hair lasagna and my friend had the Cioppino. We split a wedge salad. The salad wasn’t a wedge of iceberg lettuce, it was a small head of romaine. It was a large portion, so there was plenty for both of us. The crab angel hair lasagna was tasty. It is very rich, made with real crab, cream and a lot of swiss cheese. see photo below. The Cioppino was excellent. great tomato base, clams, muscles, crab, fish and calamari. A few black olives were thrown in too, which were a tasty surprise. Next time we’ll sit outside and enjoy the view.

Finally got the chance to visit this place sitting on a cliff overlooking the bridge. We had crab/salmon crostini. Garlic sautéed shrimp. Crab Alfredo and crab enchiladas. It was all good. The view was amazing. We sat outside at sunset to see the sunlight change on the bridge and their set up blocks the cold wind.

Great pasta, steaks and seafood. Great ambience and service… Finding parking during peak times is like a treasure hunt… So… Good luck but it’s worth it. Also recommend making reservations in advance.

Expansive views of the Carquinez Bridge and Straight. Wonderful seating on their patio. Is usually an extremely busy place with consistently good sea food. The menu is a bit pricey and it’s often quite loud inside. Good seating at the bar.

Food-OMG! We had the sizzling platter with shrimp/crab/mussels, Ciopino and prime rib, everything was delicious! Beautiful views, sit outside if you can. Bar area has tons of knick knacks for decor, but not a speck of dust!

Went for the first time for my bday dinner… Definitely MAKE RESERVATIONS!! Place was packed & for a good reason! Had to wait a bit to be seated, & the only negative was when we were finally called, some other folks decided to claim our name & got seated instead BUT, we ended up getting a better table with a great view anyway. Service was excellent, but the food, *chef’s kiss* delicious! We ordered crab cakes, the Surf & Turf Filet Mignon w/ shrimp, Sea Bass, & Chicken Alfredo.. All cooked to perfection! We plan to go there again soon & have been telling everyone about it! I went for a bday dinner & ended up getting proposed to as well, making the evening even more memorable.. 🙂 Please don’t waste any time & check this place out ASAP!!
