Weird Fish

Stumbled across a review of this place looking for reasonably priced fresh fish. Hit the jackpot. We had three appetizers and two entrees. Everything was fantastic. Fresh. Interesting flavors. As a bonus, the staff was super nice. FYI, there is nothing weird about the fish. They play up the ""mystery"" fish dinner (they won't tell you what it is) but the night I was there it was red snapper with red onions crisped on top and a very tasty sauce below. Nothing odd. Pros: Fantastic fish, very reasonable Cons: Don't bother with dessert - it's not their forte more

stumbled across this place when out and about in the mission. came with a group of four. we had to wait a while to get a table (the place is small and doesn't do reservations)... but the menu choices were interesting, totally affordable (four people, with appetizers, bottle of wine, coffee/dessert = $120). No other place is doing what this place does... order lots though, the portions are small (but the prices are reasonable so you should order more just to taste the variety!!!) try to push your way to the back next to the kitchen because there is usually space to grab a drink before being seated. Pros: innovative menu choices, affordable, funky decor Cons: no reservations and limited seating more

Seriously amazing food, friendly people, great location. Pros: Neighbourhoody, good prices, friendly faces. Cons: Small space. more

my husband and i went to weird fish early on a friday night. with the exception of a terrible two-year old sitting next to us, we were pretty enthusiastic about the scene and the menu. we ordered the mixed crab and shrimp cocktail to start. it was hard to eat considering it was served in a water glass. the cocktail sauce was tasty. when i pulled three pieces of crab shell out of my mouth (gross!!) i worried we were in for an interesting dinner. for dinner, we ordered and shared tofu tacos- which were very mediocre. plantains and beans- plantains had a nice sweetness to them and the beans were runny. and lastly, the tortilla soup. it looked and tasted like the chef opened a can of crushed tomatoes, warmed it up with a few spices (and i mean warm- it was luke warm), and served it in a bowl with an avocado piece and tortilla strips on top. it was awful!! it was the WORST tortilla soup i have ever had!! living in sf for over 10 years, i could say with 100% certainty that this restaurant will be out of business before the years end. weird fish has nothing good to offer. more
