My restaurant pick this time is Fish in Sausalito. Fish is located on Harbor Drive and is dedicated to serving sustainable seafood. The chef/owner, Kenny Belov, works with near-by farmers to serve fresh, sustainable produce in his restaurant, as well. The menu features local favorites such as fish tacos, grilled fish (served on either greens or pasta) and Portuguese red stew, along with seasonal specials and delicious side dishes. Last week, I ordered the special, grilled halibut with braised swiss chard and a ragu of garbanzo beans and bacon. The halibut was cooked to perfection – crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The smoky flavor of the beans and the slight bitterness of the chard provided nice contrasts to the fish. For dessert, we had steamed caramel pudding with currants.
There are some things to note before you go to Fish. They don’t take credit cards (but they do have an ATM machine inside). Also, this is a no-frills restaurant. You will need to stand in line to order and then find your own seating. However, I figure that these are minor inconveniences and that the money that they save by doing this goes toward ensuring that I get fresh, sustainable seafood and fresh, local produce on each visit.
Fish is open seven days a week from 11:30am-4:30pm for lunch and from 5:30pm-8:30pm for dinner.
