The Dead Fish

Great seating at any corner of the place, but we especially love the patio. Our server was really cool, everyone was friendly. Definitely a wonderful place to dine for special occasions.

We were told about The Dead Fish by someone at another restaurant and decided to make the 18 mile drive from Walnut Creek on a work trip and we were all very happy with the decision! The atmosphere, the view, the service, and the food were all amazing! The price may initially give you a shock but the amount and quality of food you receive is definitely worth it!

The Dead Fish delivers an exceptional dining experience. Their crab is outstanding — fresh, perfectly seasoned, and truly memorable. The steak was equally impressive, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. While prices are on the higher side, the generous portions, attentive service, and overall quality make it a worthwhile indulgence. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great seafood and steak.

This is one of our go to places that is near to my parents in Rodeo. A staple in contra costa county that has been providing fresh seafood and wonderful meals for decades. I recently took my parents here for their 60th wedding anniversary. Our meals were wonderful. The service was exceptional. And drinks were delicious! Highly recommend!

My husband and I went to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our waiter, Lak, went above and beyond to make our evening special. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. He made excellent recommendations, ensured everything came out perfectly, and checked on us just the right amount. And he moved us to a table with a beautiful view! It’s rare to come across service that feels both personal and polished, but Lak made us feel celebrated and well cared for. Thank you for helping make our anniversary dinner such a memorable one — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Visited The Dead Fish in Crockett with my family — they’re big seafood lovers (unlike me), so this spot was perfect for them! I ordered the garlic noodles with chicken. They were good, but not the best I’ve ever had. That said, their bread and calamari were both absolutely top-notch, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was super attentive and kind. I don’t eat seafood, so I can’t speak on that side of the menu, but my family loves this place and always looks forward to it. Heads up — it’s definitely on the pricier side. My husband ordered a steak, and it was $50 for just the steak, potatoes, and some spinach. We couldn’t help but compare it to a Brazilian steakhouse where it’s $80 for all-you-can-eat! Still, the view is beautiful, the ambiance is great for special occasions, and the desserts were delicious. Worth a visit if you’re treating yourself or celebrating with seafood lovers!

They are pricey but the ingredients match the price. The have a good cioppino and the ingredients are on point. Although it's very similar to a fisherman's stew because the ingredients are not exact. It's very good. With fishing areas right down the street is a great place to eat after a long day on the water. Also there is a great view of the Vallejo Bridge in the back, especially at night i recommended sitting near the window. Westcoast eclectic pier fishing llc. Salty
