Rather than fishing around for our dinner, we headed directly to Woodhouse Fish Company several weeks ago…

How do I begin to describe Woodhouse Fish Company?

With it’s brightly painted white walls decorated in a nautical theme (toy boats, giant squid hung above the doorway, fish jaws, etc), a charming mural of San Francisco’s farmland past, a digital frame that loops shots of a fish boat, seagulls flying around, sea water splashing, I started to wonder whether I am on a little boat parked on the pier rather than on Fillmore Street.

And if the surrounding doesn’t charm, the food probably will. What we had on this visit:

• Wedge Salad with Maytag Blue Cheese  (Quirky as they chop the lettuce in half, so it’s kind of weird to eat, but good & fresh.)

• Split-top Maine Lobster roll  (Fresh meaty lobster in every bite, and the dressing was not heavy. Delicious!)

• Sautéed Spinach (yum!)

• Scrimshaw Pilsner (smooth taste, light, perfect for this meal.)

A visit to their restroom revealed that the nautical theme doesn’t stop at the dining room.  There’s a frame of nautical knots hung above the toilet.  Very interesting…

and all of these made for a wonderful adventure at
