Fishwives

Unassuming little place near downtown Pasadena. Unpretentious and simple fish served here. Lobster roll good. Temaki roll good. Clam chowder good. Shrimp and oysters fresh and prepared well. Pleasantly surprised. Small sign outside. Parking difficult

The max and cheese is worth it! The French fries are incredible. They are thick cut and crispy with garlic seasoning. It’s a standard side with the lobster roll and of course the fish and chips. The oyster sampler is fun if you have no clue about the different oysters they have. The service could be better. Things arrived out of order and our oyster platter was forgotten until we had already halfway finished our food.

Great spot if you're craving seafood! The service was also awesome. The lobster meat in the lobster roll was absolutely delicious and the bread was nicely buttered and toasted. Although I personally was not a fan of the mayo (had a very strong green onion flavor and crunch), I can see how others might really like this style. The mussels, clams, and lobster in the steamer were delicious. The crab cakes and the salad that's included were pretty good although again, the crab cakes had a strong green onion flavor. Same comment for the fried oysters + devil eggs, great seafood but strong green onion flavoring. Overall, I still highly recommend this place if you're looking for a lot of variety and have a craving for seafood!
