In Sonoma County, with our proximity to the Pacific, we can enjoy fresh, straight-from-the-depths seafood at restaurants across the area. Bodega Bay is the hot spot for seafood, of course, with crab shacks and fish markets that also serve food. But don’t overlook places farther north, if you take a day trip to Jenner or Gualala, or spots inland in Santa Rosa, Sonoma and Petaluma.
Fishetarian Fish Market
This casual seafood shack on the Bodega Harbor boasts fresh-caught fish daily, healthy twists on traditional seafood favorites and picnic table seating right on the shore. You can’t go wrong with the classics here, including Boston-style clam chowder (plus bread bowls from Franco-American Bakery and Mariposa Baking Co.), and fish tacos, raw oysters and crab cakes. 599 Highway 1, Bodega Bay, 707-875-9092, fishetarianfishmarket.com
