Fish, Sausalito
Trying to stay true to my New Year’s intentions I had lunch at Fish in Sausalito. Fish takes their mission of serving organic and sustainable seafood and doing their part to save the oceans, watersheds and fisheries seriously. Example, on Friday night they will be closing at 6pm for a special event, Fish and Flicks. Tickets to an evening of sustainable snacks, screening of the movie The End of the Line, and post-flick discussion will be served up to those who attend.
Situated next to the bait shop at the unassuming end of Harbor Drive in Sausalito before you get to the parking lot for the marina, if you’re hankering for seafood, Fish is worth the trip. The vibe of Fish is Marin Mom’s and their tots and dogs with a few people sans kids in the mix. There are several tables outside overlooking the water – making it a great place to go on a warm day. Inside tables are few and family style, we opted for seats at the counter which was the best call since we were served quickly and chatted it up with the staff.
We started with The White Chowder Bowl. “Award winning” traditional New England style white chowder swimming with hand-shucked surf clams, bacon, potatoes, onion, celery and a special blend of dried herbs. And of course, oyster crackers…
Tuscan White Bean and Tuna Salad is Fish’s spin of the old Italian classic, served with Iacopi bombaloni beans, house-poached albacore tuna, red onion, black olives, fresh lemon, olive oil and aged red wine vinegar. My lunch mate had The Fish Tuna Salad Sandwich. (The morsel shared with me is in the upper left of the picture) Line-caught, house-poached local Albacore tossed with niçoise olives, celery, red onion and a lemon caper mayo served on a toasted Acme torpedo roll. Served with shoestring fries or greens, (clearly we opted for the fries…).
One note – Fish is a cash only operation and the tab adds up quickly. That aside, count me in to make the drive across the bridge to Fish again soon. And rumor has it the Fifth Annual Fish Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras Party is taking reservations…
