The Dead Fish - Crockett

The name “Dead Fish” may not have been particularly inspiring, but the moment we stepped through the polished metal, art deco-style double doors, we felt like old friends arriving home. As we made our way to the terrace, we passed through a room filled with an incredible array of vintage toy wheels from the last century. The terrace view, which is what we really came for, did not disappoint. The lights of the Carquinez Bridge, the boats gliding by, and the surrounding hills created a stunning backdrop. Brighton Beach Cabanas at the back provided cozy tables for four, while intimate tables for two were positioned by the water. Our lively group, arriving in a limousine (thanks to Ultra Limousine for the ride), chose a long table in the center. We ordered a generous platter of shellfish, which arrived just after our drinks, perfectly timed! Each person in our group had a unique drink, resulting in an impressive display of customized cocktails. The attentive waitstaff accommodated our eclectic requests without missing a beat. Although we were only there for drinks and a late-night snack, we all perused the menu and agreed we would definitely return to The Dead Fish for dinner.

I wouldn't recommend going there with just two people, as the portions are enormous! However, my friend managed to finish off all the crab and the best prime rib! The garlic sauce is simply amazing—I can never get enough of that crab. The prime rib looked fantastic, juicy, and was everything you could want from a great piece of prime rib. The view is stunning, and the wine list is impressive, making it a really enjoyable place to visit!
