Fishetarian Fish Market in Bodega Bay sits right along the water, and the smell of fresh catch hits you as soon as you walk up. They’re serious about sustainable fishing and farming practices, which means the seafood is sourced responsibly and the produce is organic. The menu keeps things straightforward—fish and chips, prawns and chips, solid chowders—but the quality shows. Everything tastes fresh because it basically is.

What makes this place work for a dog visit is the outdoor seating area where you can sit with your dog while eating. You’re right there with views of Bodega Bay, getting that sea breeze while you eat. The casual setup means nobody’s going to frown at your dog being there. The market side is equally welcoming if you want to grab something to take out and eat somewhere else along the coast.

The environmental commitment runs through the whole operation. They use 100% compostable, earth-friendly greenware in the market, which is the kind of detail that matters when you’re trying to do things right. It’s not flashy or performative—it’s just how they operate.

Bodega Bay itself is small and walkable, so after eating at Fishetarian you could easily head to the harbor area or nearby beaches if your dog needs to burn off energy. The timing works well too. You grab lunch or dinner, spend time at the outdoor tables watching the boats, and then move on to explore the rest of the town. If you’re driving up Highway 1 and want something better than typical tourist food, this is the spot where the effort to source well actually translates to what’s on your plate.
