Come to the scenic Sonoma Coast to enjoy area seafood like crab, salmon, rockfish, and more fresh from the ocean. Here are some wonderful spots to buy fresh seafood, tuck into mouthwatering local favorites, and sit down to a memorable meal in the seaside village of Bodega Bay, California.

Fishetarian Fish Market not only sells hand-selected fish from the daily catch to take home for a great meal, but you can also relax with a plate of fish tacos, prawns and chips, and more from their tasty menu.

Spud Point Crab Company’s picnic tables are a wonderful place to hunker down with a famous bowl of chowder and a fresh crab sandwich while gazing at fishing boats docked nearby.

Tides Wharf Restaurant offers an ocean view and a full bar with its casual dining. This spacious, comfortable eatery is the very place where scenes from the movie classic ‘The Birds‘ were filmed.

Bodega Bay Oyster Company is where you can indulge in freshly shucked local oysters on the half-shell, paired with a tasting flight of wines or ciders. This oyster company has been family-owned and operated since 1985, featuring sustainably farmed oysters from the bountiful local waters. Here, you can find oysters, clams, and mussels sold daily alongside a carefully curated selection of local goods.
