Hook Fish Co. at Proof Lab Beer Garden

The fish was tasty and fresh. The curry is only $7 for the cup, but for me, that cup is equivalent to a bowl. Their fries were so good and I’m glad my friend ordered to share. They have outdoor seating that’s dog friendly. They have water bowls for dogs. This place has a chill and relaxing vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. I’m happy that my friend found this place after our hiking trip.

Really love the vibe at this location! Great assortment of local beers. Not a lot of vegan options, understandably. I got the regular avocado burrito, but it was unfortunately a little bland. Note the fried avocado burrito and fries are fried together with everything else. Everyone who was not vegan loved their food! Staff was very knowledgeable about vegan options which I really appreciated! Will definitely be back for drinks.

Love the vibe here. It was just the right amount of casual for a first date. My fish plate was so-so. Kinda bland with a lot of scales on it but I’d like to go back and try the burrito as that’s what everyone around me seemed to be eating.

The food is so good here! So fresh! The guacamole is a must! The fresh fish of the day was rockfish and it was so good grilled on the plate. I would definitely order a side of tortillas with my plate next time to make little tacos with rice and beans. Head through to the patio to order food. Great local selection of beer on tap and wine. The fries were good but not a stand out. The guacamole and grilled fish stole the show for me!

I prefer the rock cod over the ling cod. Too bad they ran out of the halibut. Service was friendly. Nice selection of craft beers. 2 unisex restrooms near the front. Seat yourself, order outside and they'll bring it to your table. Parking was very confusing. Apparently, the entrance is just to the left of where you think the parking lot is and it connects in the back, but it still gets very crowded and had to wait for a spot to open up

Insanely good! Recommend the fish burritos. Try their carrot habañero hot sauce!! This is definitely better in person so don’t do takeout. Not great for vegetarians but good for gluten free as their tacos are corn tortillas. French fries were also super crunchy and yummy

It’s a really nice courtyard to get good beer and Fish & Chips. The fish is fresh daily and flakey and tender. They make their own tartar sauce, which was delicious and tasted of fresh herbs. The chips were perfectly cooked and crispy. The only downsides were the Habanero Carrot sauce, very watery and tasted off. The parking is minimal and we ended up finding a parking spot on the street. The seating system is odd. We saw several awkward seating situations while we were there. Definitely have someone sit at the table when you go up to order food or you will think you have a table but come back to find other people sitting there. We’ll definitely stop here when we’re in the area. It is also dog & child friendly.

Really great fish and chips. Perfect beer batter. Fries were so so but had a nice herbs and homemade ketchup is on the table (sweeter and funnier than the normal stuff). The provided tartar sauce was especially nice and herby. Also shared a burrito with the fish of the day (rock fish). Tortilla was a bit thick and the there wasn’t much sauce so it was a bit bland, but the house hot sauce (habanero and carrot) helped with that. Next time will go with tacos or a rice plate. Popular place for good reason. Absolutely worth a visit.

It's my birthday today and why not celebrate with a delicious meal! This is our 4th time here and it did not disappoint. We got a little bit of everything to celebrate and wowie! If we lived closer our bank accounts would be hurting ! This time around we got: -Fish and chips with the rock fish - perfectly crispy and husbands fav -sandwich with black cod - amazing balance my fav! -tacos with lingcod - well rounded (needs spice ) -poke - 100/10 -guacamole - smooth but a little too sour for me but still good! -oysters - delicious. We wished we ordered more! Everything gets better with each visit. Thank you for always being consistent hook fish co!

LINES EVERYWHERE! I waited in line 20min to be told it was a 1hr wait. We waited. We were sat immediately when we arrived to the host stand. Once you're sat, you need to go in line for a beer or go in line for food. After I ordered my phone, I was told that it was a 45+ min wait. Thankfully, the food arrived after 20min. The food was DELICIOUS! The black cod plate and fish & chips were yummy. Not worth standing in line for an hr, but good. I didn't see a manager running the floor, which is probably why tables weren't turned over quickly. With all the technology ways to order these days, why am I standing in line? didn't make sense to me. Hopefully you don't need the toilet, because there's a line there too!

This place used to be consistently good, but recently it's been hit or miss and when they miss, the food is borderline inedible. For the past few years, my go-to order is the fish burrito. I alternate fish and try to guess what's the freshest by choosing options that weren't on the menu the day before. Sadly, on three of my last five visits, the fish has been lukewarm and decidedly not fresh (or perhaps fresh, but left out too long) and the aioli (which is essential) has been spoiled or curdled or both! I do wonder if they have a new chef or if they just get too busy and can't maintain the quality. I'm willing to give it another shot, but it' also kind of scares me. Bad fish is always bad news.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon after a wedding in Petaluma Friday before. We had to wait about 15 minutes to get seated since it was bustling with a lot of people, including families random group hangouts and also a lot of bikers. We ordered the oysters and the chips/guac and we also got the cod burrito, which is not pictured. I would deaf come back again when it's less busy

This was my first time at the Mill Valley location, which has plenty of seating inside and outside compared to the SF location. Also my first time ordering their poke and the fish was super fresh; the salads are also huge! Their pineapple agua fresca was pretty bad -- skip on that.

Great atmosphere and tasty food. The beer garden is a great place for a casual lunch accompanied by a cold drink. I enjoyed their guacamole and their fried fish was fantastic. The oysters were nice too. Service was friendly and although it is popular and busy, it took less than 30 min to get a spot at peak lunch hours on the weekend. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

What I ordered: -Poke and Chips [5/5] -Fish and Chips [4/5] -Grilled fish of the day [4/5] __ My sister took me to Hook Fish, and I absolutely loved it! The ambiance is charming, featuring an outdoor beer garden perfect for enjoying delicious food and drinks on a summer night. The service is excellent; you order at the counter, and they bring your meal to your table. The food is amazing--I'm particularly fond of the fish and chips. It's a great spot to eat and hang out with friends. While they also have a location in San Francisco, I prefer this one for its atmosphere.

If you want really good fish tacos in a laid back setting with great craft beers, come to Hook Fish! Everything I ate was delicious here - especially the underrated red curry. For the price you get a good amount! Everything was fresh - there is usually a long wait for a table, but the wait is always shorter than they say. I would definitely come back to this spot!

I actually love this place now. Best fish and chips in Marin. Don't really order anything else pretty bland. Amazing outside seating and friendly staff. Super cool venue. However, they might have the grossest and dirtiest restrooms out of any establishment in Marin county and snap maybe even San Francisco. They are disgusting. No toilet seat covers. Always dirty 100% of the time just absolutely horrific restrooms. Don't love that part.

We were given a table right away and were given the option to sit inside or outside. You get menus when sit down and you go to one line to order food and another for drinks. I did not like that as much it would be nice if we had the option to order food and drinks in one spot. The fish and chips were great cripsy but you can taste the freshness in the fish even with it being fried. The fries with it were crispy but overly seasoned way too much. The tacos were good big portions and it all went well together. The guacamole was ok way too acidic. The chips were good but the guacamole was not great all I could taste was the sourness of the acidic in it. Lots of options for drinks the guava cider was great.

Such a cute place. It's on the way to Stinson beach which Shoreline Hwy always has traffic. Parking can be tough as well as trying to pull in and out of the parking lot. I went on a Sunday around noon. It gets busy so expect to wait about 20-30mins. They told us 20mins for a party of 4 but it was less than that. Also, equator coffeeshop is right next door. I went and grabbed a coffee while we waited for our table. There's a bar inside with local beers on tap as well. They have a few proof lab merch available for purchase at the front of the door. You have to order up at the counter and they bring the food to your table. I ended up getting the fish and chips & the fish was good! It was a big chunk of fish, unlike some I've had where it was more fried dough. The "chips" are fries. I've been to places where they were actual potato chips! The rest of my friends said their food was good and finished everything. The staff was really nice as well. I plan to come back here again!

The vibes are on point! Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend sitting outside especially if it's a nice day out. I had the chips and pico, which came out FAST. The chips and pico were just alright. Maybe not worth the price it's advertised for. Fish and chips were good, although I would've preferred a different seasoning on the fries. The fish tacos were delicious but were in desperate need of a bigger taco, or at least one that could withstand the weight of all that they put on it - messy!

The food at Hook Fish is vibrant and fresh! This place was bustling at noon on a Sunday. Lots of pups and babies out and about. The majority of the seating is outdoors with lots of umbrellas for shade (though the sun felt amazing). The host said it would be about 30 minutes for our party of 2. We perused the native plant nursery next door while we waited for our table. It's kind of a DIY ordering system once you get seated. You order food at the counter and alcohol at the bar. The food is then brought to you. My friend and I opted to share the poke with chips and the 2 piece fish and chips. The poke chunks were giant and meaty, and the freshness of the fish made the bites very bright. The fish and chips were well seasoned and crispy all around. We loved the herby tartar sauce! In a way it all felt like comfort food. I don't make it over to Marin much, so I'm delighted I had such a great lunch experience at Hook Fish.

This place is in a convenient spot, especially after a day at Muir Woods or any of the beautiful places along the coast in Marin, before you head back on the GG bridge. That said, the way to turn into this parking lot is not so convenient if you're turning left -- there are barriers in between the directions and you pretty much have to use another lot up ahead to turn around. Getting out of here to go south also requires a u-turn. The whole concept is pretty nice especially on days where the winds are more tame. Most of the seating is outdoors, with a small portion under the heater. You can get take out and skip the dine-in line, or check in with the host to get a table. For the number of people we see there, their lines have quick turnarounds. Their food does not -- but if you order some chips, it will come right out to tame your hunger as you wait patiently for the main course. Get your beer at the bar separately. There aren't a whole lot of options for vegetarians, pretty much subbing fried or fresh avocados in tacos, plates and burritos, but their fried avocado in tacos? Amazing. Very well executed with delicious slaw. In a burrito? Atrocious, their rice comes plain and the ratio in the burrito is rice heavy, and the steaminess of the rice dulls the crispness of the avocados. The fish is nice and fresh; and the mister has enjoyed the fish and chips here, as well as a few fish tacos option. You can specify the fish (based on the catches of the day) in some dishes! All in all a fantastic option along the highway.

Really busy spot. Parking can be a little tough here. We came in on a Saturday for lunch and waited for about an hour. It's nice that they have a patio behind and you can grab a drink while waiting. Love the vibe here. So nice out on a sunny day. We got the fish and chips, and fish taco. Solid fish and chips, probably one of the better ones in the area! Would definitely come back!

I can't get over how perfect the deep fried fish is; the outer layer is crispy and light and the fish itself is soft and moist while not adulterating the batter. The fries/chips are *okay* as they're a bit thick and not as crispy as I'd like. I also loveee the hot sauce and the tartar sauce! Overall the food is great but a bit steep in price point. The service is fantastic here; they're all so nice and work as quickly as they can. Also the outdoor seating is so wonderful on a sunny day.

Came here on a Wednesday night with my bf for date night and we were not disappointed! Parking is limited and there is a lot to the side. We were greeted upon arrival by the friendly bartender who said we could sit anywhere and we order food etc. out back. We ordered the following at the counter out back: * Poke + Chips: Albacore,chili,sesame,tamari, scallion $14 * Oysters on the half shell $4 each * Poke Burrito: Black beans,rice,avocado,pico de gallo,pickled slaw, spicy aioli $18 * Fish + Chips: 2 pieces Beer battered,house tartar sauce $18 * mint mango drink that was okay but i wanted it sweet so if you have a sweet tooth like i do this is not for you! - Food was delicious and my bf commented that the poke was the best he's ever had and he's been to Hawaii! - Poke burrito was tasty and i had the leftovers for the next day. - The fish and chips were my favorite! - Cute outdoor seating area with string lights but it was a bit cold and i didn't notice any heat lamps. We can't wait to come back here!

This place is great! The fish tacos are my favorite. Sometimes the wait can be a little long but the beer garden on a sunny day with some fish tacos is where it's at. The service is always friendly and pretty quick. I definitely recommend hook fish

This place has so much potential but it seems like the service staff are either high schoolers (and totally clueless about service) or busstaff that are super unfriendly. We waited at the front door to be seated and about 5 different staff walked by us without even a greeting. Finally I asked if anyone was working the door and a sweet you gal sat us. All the menus had practically enough food on them for a meal (haha). The food was pretty good. Petrale sole was a bit overcooked for me liking. Bartender was great and once we got his attention he was charming and pleasant. It was not a super busy night either. Again, lots of potential but staff needs a refresher on customer service.

Pretty great spot, quite busy inside and out but didn't take too long to get a table at all during lunch time Staff are pretty nice and efficient Let's of beers and non alcoholic options which is superb Food came out pretty quick, we had the poke and tortilla chips, fish and chips, and a kids fish plate. Poke and chips came out first, would have wished the poke to have come in a bigger portion as tons of tortilla chips remained - though they were still very snackable Kids fish plate came with the grilled fish of the day, rice, black beans, 1 corn tortilla, and some slices of avocado. Nice portion kids lunch for $9 Fish and chips, ordered the 3 piece on a bed of seasoned fries, comes with tartar sauce. Fish was great, not too oily 5/5 Will return for more hangs

A great spot for super fresh fish and a nice ambiance. At all times of day hook fish is busy so prepare for a long wait time before getting seated. Once seated, you order from the counter so that process won't be as long. There is a nice outdoor patio area with both shaded and sun exposed seating. The fish is fresh and well prepared.

Popular seafood bar garden even during a rainy day! Limited indoor seating so you most likely have to wait (usually 30-60min) but I believe outdoor seating is first come first serve. It was raining but there are some seats outside the are covered. Ordered fish and chips (fish of the day - rockfish) which is always a classic and satisfactory! The batter is airy with the perfect crisp and crackle to every bite. The fries have a nice Cajun blend seasoning. Also ordered the grilled/blackened fish sandwich (market fish - trout). It was good but it felt like it was missing something, maybe more salt in the herb rub to bring out the flavors!

We went to Hook Fish before seeing a show at the Junction. I have the cod plate. This was fresh and delicious. Came with rice, pickled cabbage, homemade pico and avocado. So good!! My husband had the cod in a burrito. He loved it. The beers on draft were local and great. The outdoor seating is spacious and cute. Service was quick and friendly. We will for sure go back.

Our group of six stopped by for lunch after an early morning hike in Marin. Pros: + Indoor and back patio dining available + Attentive service Cons: - Limited parking in the tiny lot What We Ordered: + Poke Salad; 3/5 + Black Cod taco; 5/5 + Rock Cod taco; 4/5 Black cod taco was so delicious! Absolutely must get! Order at the counter, give them your table number, and they'll bring the food to you. They're great about clearing the tables. Loved the outdoor sunny weekend vibes here.

Love the drink selection here. We've been here and their SF location. Both times the fish has been slightly over cooked for what we like. Regardless, if we lived here we would come back again and again. It's a fun time, the food it good, the patio is fun.. what's not to like?! The tacos were excellent and ingredients they use are top quality.

One of the most popular spots in Mill Valley and for good reason. If you come here on a weekend with good weather, be prepared for a bit of a wait for a table in the ballpark of 30 minutes and likely similar for takeout. Regardless, the wait is well worth it. Food is fresh and delightful and the outdoor space is such a lovely place to spend time. Very dog & kid friendly. A Bay Area gem!

Great first experience! Loved the laid back atmosphere. The staff were all super nice, friendly, and helpful. The food was incredible! Really impressed with the fish options! I got the Sitka Lingcod sandwich and threw on some of the habanero carrot hot sauce the fries and tartar sauce were next level! Not pictured, the poke with chips that was devoured in about a minute I'll for sure be back real soon!!

The food was not as good as the original location in San Francisco. It was not well seasoned. We waited for a long time for the table. The staff got our order wrong :(

Been to the SF location. The mills valley hook fish is elavated in terms of service, selection and ambience. The outdoor area is beautiful and everyone is so nice :). Food is low key better too!

I've been here a couple times and here we go. The fish and chips is what I always order, and is generally pretty good. The batter is kind of soggy on the downside of the piece as it is laying on the platter, but not so much that it's a concern. Fries are yummy. The poke nachos are very good, with a nice kick to it. Beers are excellent, not matter which one you get. I especially enjoyed the Mai Tai IPA. Refreshing.

Excellent fish at a reasonable price. Friendly staff that is very accommodating. The outside seating is casual and nice. I love this place and the one criticism I have I put out there because I love the place. The ONE complaint is that they play two completely different stereos at the SAME TIME. One stereo comes from the staff (played by the pickup window) at about the same volume as the music in the dining area. I'm happy to listen to either the Tejano music from the staff or the classic rock in the garden, just choose one because listening to both at the same time is a real buzz kill.

A perfect Sunday lunch! Hook fish is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. This was my first time at this location (I usually go to the one in the Sunset) and it didn't disappoint. We got there around 12:30-1 pm and there was a bit of a wait, but we didn't mind since there was a surf shop and cute plant shop nearby to browse around. The ordering is a little weird, but it makes sense with how many people are there. We sat outside on a sunny day which made it even better. The outdoor seating is soo cute and has lots of plants, seating and shade. The poke burrito and oysters never disappoint. This place has ruined all the random poke shops I go to when I have a craving. I also got the pineapple mint Agua Fresca which was super refreshing. My only complaint was that the straw fell apart for my drink, but honestly not a big deal at all considering how good the food and ambiance is.

Great fish and chips and poke!! I went here Memorial Day Weekend and ate at the outdoor section. Seating took 20 minutes for a large group, but food took pretty long to come out. The fish and chips were good and well seasoned. The poke burrito was super filling and fresh but I feel like it had less poke than I thought. Maybe I need to get a plate instead next time.

Ambiance 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Food 5/5 I had the best fish and chips ever here. Great selection of beer to choose from as well. My bf got the fish burrito and it was SO GOOD. Especially with their special carrot salsa.

I'd give it a solid 4.5. Parking was tough, you wait in line to be added to the list and they text you when your table is ready. Then you get seated and go up to the counter and stand in line to order, and there's a separate line to order a beer. They bring your food to the table when it's ready. its super casual so there's not a lot of service but it works anyway. Would be 5 stars for the fried fish--hubby had fried fish tacos, one son had fish and chips, and I had the fried fish plate and upgraded to the halibut for an extra $5. The fish was super moist and tender and with a nice crispy exterior. The purple slaw is so incredibly good! The tartar sauce that came with the fish and chips was not my fave as it had a strong dill flavor which I don't like so much, but the spicy aioli that came with my plate was delish. The fries with the fish and chips were so good and well seasoned with herbs and salt. The fish and chips also had flaked sea salt on top. Wish my fried fish plate also had the salt flakes too but it was still good anyway. Other son had the poke burrito and he said it was a little fishy tasting. Also large pieces of poke as others have described. There were 2 flavors of agua frescas--pineapple mint and watermelon mint. They do say that neither is sweetened, which normally is fine, and I thought with it being early September that both would be plenty sweet with natural fresh fruit sugars, but both were not very sweet at all--both kids disliked it. Husband loved the beer selection--multiple good hazy ipas on tap. will def be back!

Not surprising to see this place was packed on a warm Saturday afternoon. While the fish tacos were solid I was hoping for a littleee more. Either a little side or a bit more flavor on the toppings. If you like really simple, fresh, and clean tacos these are good. I personally like a little more saucy slaw or spice. I would go back but think I'd want to give another order a try. We also found out that all the outdoor seating was on a wait. Just an fyi that it may be a long wait especially on a beautiful weekend day. But the outside area is cute :)

The fish was tasty and fresh. The curry is only $7 for the cup, but for me, that cup is equivalent to a bowl. Their fries were so good and I'm glad my friend ordered to share. They have outdoor seating that's dog friendly. They have water bowls for dogs. This place has a chill and relaxing vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. I'm happy that my friend found this place after our hiking trip.

Came here on a random Tuesday night after a short hike nearby and it was poppin! There was live music outside and it was packed. There was a short line to order outside. Just a heads up, you have to keep an eye out for the table number you want to sit at because you'll give them that number when you order. It is a bit weird cuz usually I expect to order at the front, where they will then give me a number to place down on an available table. Anyway, I was not able to snag a coveted table outside, so I chose a table close to the door/outside. I ordered the salad with poke and their pineapple mint drink. I like that the drink didn't have any added sugar. It was refreshing. Their eco friendly paper straws were really crappy though. Way too narrow to sip anything. I ended up using it as a drink stirrer instead. The poke came out quickly to my table (less than 5 minutes) and I was actually surprised by the portions. There were giant cuts of fish, and the greens were fresh and plentiful. Prices met my expectations given the portions, freshness, quality and taste. Would recommend this spot if you want a reasonably priced, chill, casual seafood spot in Mill Valley!

Heard great things about Hook Fish and stopped by during the 4th of July Holiday weekend and was surprised to be seated quickly upon arrival during the think of dinner time. After sitting down, looked at a menu, then went outside to order. You state your table number and the food will be brought out accordingly. Crab cakes were shared, they were pretty tasty, only 2 per order ($15). I liked their tartar sauce because you can taste the dill as bits were mixed in. I had the albacore tuna burger and it was so-so. I also had a few bites of the fish and chips. The batter was too oily and didn't have a nice crunch, the fish part was just ok, nothing special. The chips (fries) were also just ok. This place is loud whether indoors or outdoors, they had music playing too. It was difficult to hear the conversation. The bussers were on top of removing plates and coming by often. Kudos to them! Other than that, this is not a table service establishment. Overall ok experience. #31/2023

Parking is rough but they do have a lot for their building, it's tight but at least it's there. It's on the same property (so it seems) as a native nursery which is awesome. You can get a drink and a bite, then wander through the nursery via the arch from their garden. It is not a self service, you get seated when you are at the hostess station. You do order out back but then they'll bring it to you. We've been a few times; I love the carrot hot sauce. It's a hoppin' spot.

Outstanding food and outstanding value. I can't believe we got enough to feed an army for $60 not including drinks. This is the pro tip if you order a burrito, make it without rice and the crabcakes which are underwhelming but not enough to deduct a star. When you order the fish tacos, make sure that if you want them battered and deep fried say so otherwise they automatically grill them. The fish and chips are a benchmark of what fish and chips should be. The portions are generous. Here are the negative points but none of them again to reduce a star. Number one is the parking issue Which can be sketchy at times number two there's very limited seating and if it's raining or cold outside, it's going to get even harder. Number three their portions of the yard that are dirt mixed with gravel which on a rainy wet day like today makes for muddy conditions. Incredible find.

Ambience was great so I had high hopes. My food was subpar. Ordered the fish of the day sandwich. The sesame bun was stale; tuna was a tough (supposed to be fresh) and blackened aka coated in unsavory herbs. Line for drinks was six people long so I opted for a pitcher of room temperature water. Service was quick but who cares when the fish is not good.

This place is a vibe. The staff is super friendly and take care of you. Nice variety of brew and their food is fantastic! Their outdoor seating (with heating) gives a nice ambiance of being at a friend's backyard and the open seating makes sure you're never eating alone. The menu is fairly diverse and food tastes fresh. They give big portions and their poké burritos are huge! Make sure to come with an appetite and make sure to try their habeñero carrot hot sauce

Today our 19th hole was here. Except for one golfer none of us had eaten here. So when the suggestion was for fish and chips we were all in. When you enter you'll be in the Proof Lab bar. There's indoor dining but most folks are seated in the outdoor patio. Hubby & I both ordered draft beers. Arrived around 1'ish, the place was packed. The 11 of us sat at two bar high tables inside as all the outdoor dining tables were occupied. Ordering process - order and pay at the window outside in the patio. Provide your table #. Your food will be delivered to your table. Hubby & I decided to share - we got the three pieces fish and chips and the poke tacos. Both items were great. The fish batter was crispy. Sprinkles of rock salt. Today was rockfish. Very fresh and flaky. The poke tacos were delicious. Street taco size. Fresh ahi. We were in consensus we're adding this to our 19th hole places of eats. BTW - there's another Hook Fish in the City in the Outer Sunset.

Great little seafood place in Mill Valley. We stopped by with our kids and an out of town guest after hiking the Tennessee Valley Trail. Kids were ravenous and the cashiers were really awesome. Female one gave my kids stickers and the male one gave them a box of tortilla chips to keep them satiated until the food came out. Food was made fresh and was very good. Portions of the fish are small but excellent quality. Cute outdoor area with comfortable seating. Two unisex bathrooms with an outside sink area. The wait was about an hour at noon on MLK holiday. Would def come back. The carrot habanero sauce was good but spicy!

Food was great and fresh. Quick and easy service. The vibe was comfy. Nice location just off the highway.

Great ambiance and great food, but took a while for food to come out. There is fish you can choose for each item. We tried the rock fish for fish and chips and we chose salmon for fish tacos. Each type of fish has different prices. Fish and chips and was delish. Nice patio siting, we will come back when we go hiking in the mill valley. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing spot! It does get crowded so I would recommend to go early. We sat outside with was a bit cold on a July summer night but our spot shaded us from the wind. You have to order your food at the stand and then go back to your seat to wait for the food. We got a poke appetizer which was bomb! I could tell the fish was fresh, I ordered a fish and chips which was incredible!! I've had so much fish and chips and this definitely is on the top of my list. It came with delicious fries and awesome tartar sauce. The fish didn't have alotnof batter and was perfectly crispy. A must eat if you're ever in the area!

Not worth the wait in my opinion UNLESS you want fish and chips. I've tried to stop by Hook Fish several times after a hike in Marin since it's at a prominent intersection on my way back to SF, but I've given up after not being able to find parking or a table before. I finally was able to find both easily on a cold wintry day, but the tables were admittedly all pretty cold (we sat inside but the door was open). While the fried fish in the fish & chips was fantastic and super fresh (even falling apart several times) without feeling too unhealthy/heavy, all the other food I had was pretty bland and overpriced. Even the fries in the fish & chips were cold, hard, and bland. Then the 2 bland grilled fish tacos with the fish of the day were $16. Fish sandwich wasn't that great either. So glad I opted to upgrade to the 3 piece fish & chips. Points for being dog friendly though!
