Fishwives

We found this restaurant because it was on the list of lunch spots for DineLA. It was my husband's birthday and he loves seafood so we decided to try it out. It was fantastic! We didn't go with the set menu, which looked very good, but we wanted more shellfish.We started with half a dozen fresh, delicious raw Peruvian scallops. They were so good! Also, I make art with sea shells so I asked our wonderful server Nathaniel if they reused the shells. He said no, so I asked if I could have them. He offered to wash them off and box them up for me. How nice! We also had a taste of 2 different oysters. Nathaniel was very knowledgeable about the variety, and we were very happy with our choice. He was an all-around outstanding server.Then we had razor clams! We both love razor clams, and they are hard to find so we were very excited that they were a special. Cooked in garlic and butter, they were so good! We are still talking about them.My husband went with the branzio, one of his favorite meals, and it was cooked perfectly! The skin was so crisp & tasty, the fish moist and flavorful. I had the Crab Louis salad, which was fresh & delicious, with lots of crab and came with their deviled eggs! This place is so clean and attractive, with tables and some counter seating. We can't wait to go back, probably for dinner!

I expected more for the price point and all the good reviews. I ordered:A dozen oyster, $42, solid 4 stars Shrimp cocktail, pretty large shrimp, 3 stars Clam chowder, very flavorful and unique, 4 starsCioppino, $42, good portions, however, with old and not fresh mussels. Ouch! 2 starsService, the hostess ignored us upon arrival, just not a welcoming feeling. Overall, I expected more for this place.

Solid, no frills place for seafood in the area. Plenty of lots in the area, we went for the Parsons East Annex lot on Google maps. We went for a very casual Valentine's day dinner and had reservations since it was fairly busy. From most to least favorite:+ Clam chowder: Nice surprise and I loved the smokiness of the soup from the bacon. Not too heavy but filled with other bits like potato.+ Oyster sampler: Good variety at $42/dozen. 3 different types, 4 each.+ Black cod special: We saw this on the board in front. Not a large portion but it was tender and well cooked.+ Temaki handroll sampler: The fish filling was very fresh but couldn't give a high rating because the nori was fairly chewy so you need to eat in one bite.

Checked out Fishwives for Dine LA for the first time. For starters, we had oysters and Peruvian scallop. I was a fan. I chose the lobster bisque for my soup & I honestly wasn't a huge fan. I was impressed with the lobster pieces. However, it was quite watered down and missing flavor. The ceviche and octopus was ok.. the ceviche was fresh and the octopus was good but overall nothing to brag about. For the entree, I chose the branzino which was cooked to perfection. The trout roll was impressive as well. Overall, wasn't too impressed with the menu but the fresh flavors were definitely there.

Calling all seafood fans! This is a must try restaurant for you! Taste all the goodness in fresh seafood. Below is what i usually get:- clam chowder- my favorite kind- NewEngland style - Cioppino - tons of seafood in broth. Also come with 4 pieces of toast.- steamer basket - clams/ mussels/ 1/2 lobster - crab cake - no filler- branzino - crispy skin tender meat with salad and veggies - mac & cheese - good stuff - cheesy and not overboard Service is friendly. Located in old town Pasadena. I usually park in schoolhouse parking on green street and walk couple blocks. Maybe do some shoppings along the way.

We had a nice little lunch at Fishwives with my parents up in Pasadena. It's a fairly simple fish restaurant with delicious and fresh fish. We shared the steamer basket (clams, mussels, and half of a lobster) as an appetizer. It was a healthy amount of fresh, simply steamed shellfish. The clams were especially good.I had the branzino, which is one of my favorite fishes. It was cooked perfectly and came with a side salad and some steamed asparagus. My wife enjoyed her crab cakes, and my parents were happy with their dishes. I finished off my dad's fried cod fish and chips, which was a nice, firm and fresh piece of fish with a light batter.Overall, I wish we had a place like this in Long Beach. There's some good seafood places near home, but there was something very simple and straightforward about Fishwives that I enjoyed.

人生最好的作品就是自己，即使無人欣賞，也別忘了要綻放芬芳，要記得～對自己要隨性，對他人要隨緣～自從兩個小孩都搬出去住之後，要跟他們吃飯的時間就沒那麼多了，上個月找了一天， 帶他們到Pasadena 去有名的魚老婆吃海鮮，這家魚老婆我去過很多次了，店面看起來真的就是豪不起眼， 門口也很容易miss 掉， 但每次來，食物都很 新鮮，仔細想想，吃那麼多次他們家的海鮮， 每道我幾乎都喜歡，殼殼湯，蟹餅，生的海鮮拼盤，海鮮湯，龍蝦堡到最後清蒸的海鮮，兩個小的也是全部都很捧場的吃光光，品質好，新鮮可能是會讓我一再光顧的原因 ～

FOOD:Lobster Roll [6/10]: an average lobster roll, tasted fresh but really NOT worth $42 per roll..... Clam Chowder [6/10]: lots of clams inside but the soup was very watery; not chowder-y at all. Fish and Chips [6.5/10]: the fish tastes fresh but there was not really any flavor, it tasted bland and the tartar sauce didn't help. The chips was probably the best partCrab cake [8/10]: very fresh crab and tastyOysters [9/10]: fresh and tastySERVICE [7/10]: service was alright, food came out in a timely manner

Nice staffs and good stop if you're craving for fresh oysters around Pasadena. Ordered Sauvignon Blanc which paired nicely. Oysters came chilled platter, they were assortment of oysters from different farms / regions. Bread also tasty with butter. Great stop for families , couples and even solo ! We walked in without a reservation and glad we were there before busier dinner time. It's located conveniently on Fairoaks and close to cute shops on Holly St.

First time here. I went to my cousin's bday and had a great time. The service was decent but the employees did not know much, however, they got better towards the evening. A lot of the employees were new so it's understandable. The food was very scrumptious. We ordered from the Dine in L. A menu that had a great selection and reasonable pricing. The place is small but was very cute inside. They have a bare area too where you can sit at also. Note: The only thing I did not like they had run out of a lot of things and it was late afternoon/early evening. Also, when it came down to getting our dessert they told us they did not have the chocolate chip cookies and that they could give us another kind of cookie and they needed the table. They were rushing us. We did not like that and complained about it and they were apologetic and corrected the problem and gave us our chocolate chip cookies fresh and hot.
