Delicious Experience with Generous Portions
Hook Fish was a delicious experience. While sitting outside might not be ideal on a cold, wet, or windy day, the weather was perfect for our visit. They offer an array of fresh caught choices. We enjoyed the poke burrito, fish and chips, and a black cod plate. Everything was tasty and the portions are quite generous. We’ll be back!

Worth the Wait for Fresh Fish!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, despite a wait that was well worth it. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the salads were absolutely delicious. To complement the meal, the lemonade and beer were the perfect accompaniment.

Unique atmosphere, great food, limited drinks
What was your experience at the restaurant? The restaurant offers a unique atmosphere and very well-served food. However, the drink menu was unfortunately not very extensive.

Hidden Gem with Amazing Food!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We discovered this hidden highlight and ended up dining here two nights in a row. The quality of food was great and fresh, making for a truly satisfying meal. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, which was fun to experience and refreshing. Overall, it was a great experience.

Tasty Food, Quick Wait!
My experience at this restaurant was great! The food was freshly cooked and well done, and it was very tasty. Despite it being a busy/popular place, the wait wasn't that long. I was pleased with the overall experience.

Crispy Fish and Chips Perfection
Hook Fish Co. is a cool little counter-style spot with outdoor seating and a fun, lively vibe. I had the fish and chips with black cod, and I loved that you can choose any of their fish to be battered, which is awesome. The batter was super crispy, seasoned perfectly, and the fish just melted in my mouth. I highly recommend trying their habanero carrot salsa – it adds a sweet heat that takes the fish to the next level. Overall, it's a really great spot for fresh seafood. I enjoyed the fish and chips and definitely want to return to try their fish burrito, which looked amazing.

Delish Fish Tacos on a Sunny Day
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially on a warm, sunny day. The fish tacos were absolutely delish. While there's a small outdoor seating area, finding street parking was somewhat difficult. Overall, it was perfection.

Awesome Food, Beer, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the food, with the burrito, tacos, fish & chips, and Tomales Bay oysters all being awesome. The beer selection, featuring many tasty local breweries, was terrific. Additionally, the atmosphere was fantastic. What’s not to like!

Long wait for fried food and poke
My experience at the restaurant was marked by a significant wait. I waited in line for 20-30 minutes just to order. To my surprise, after this initial wait, I was informed that the food would take an additional hour to be ready. This seemed quite ridiculous, especially considering the food ordered was fried items and poke. It would have been more helpful if patrons were informed about the extended wait time, perhaps before the 30-minute queue, especially for simple dishes like fish and chips.

Hot food, bland fish
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The food arrived hot, which was appreciated. However, the fish itself was quite bland, lacking seasoning. In fact, the fries had more seasoning than the fish. Due to the disappointing flavor of the fish, I don’t think I’ll be back.
