FISHWIFE

MUST TRY! What a delightful experience!! The absolute best calamari steak you will ever have. It was so delicious. The staff were so kind and made it an even better experience. The dessert is made in house and the key lime pie was the perfect amount of tangy and sweet.

An unassuming place with delicious food and fine service. Our fish was perfectly prepared in proper portions. Not huge Cheesecake Factory, not tiny Spagos. The prices were appropriate for finer dining like this - $130 for two people, appetizer, one glass of wine and two desserts. Oh, and the Key Lime and pecan pies were delectable.

I was intrigued about FISHWIFE solely for its name. To be honest I was expecting a bit of open air fishmongering action, but it was just a simple restaurant (they did have a fish tank :) ). At first, I couldn't quite tell if this place was a high end establishment or a casual family seafood eatery. I think it tries to be both and tears itself apart going in both directions. That being said, I was very pleased with the food. The clam chowder was superb. It had a depth of flavor that went beyond the normal creaminess of your average chowder, and was served in a generously sized bowl. The garlic bread it came with was really just regular bread with a light buttering and a lighter toasting, but that's honestly a fresh escape from the usual oil sponge that people call garlic bread. I also ordered the barramundi, which was excellent. The fish was tender and sweet, with a bold and zingy sauce dripped over it. Even the rice and beans took me by surprise with their quality, and the vegetables were not overcooked to the point of mushiness. It was a pleasantly designed dish. My main struggle with recommending FISHWIFE is the price. Many of the dishes were over 30$, which contributed to the air of fancy restaurant, but the food (not in terms of quality) was not quite there. But it is worth a try. They have some unique dishes and have clearly set themselves apart, for which I commend them.

Booked for last minute lunch. We had the Shrimp cleopatra and the barramundi. Both were surprisingly good. Fish was flaky and perfectly cooked. Everything felt fresh and well seasoned. Restaurant has a local family run vibe to it, service was friendly. Overall recommend for anyone coming back from a walk along the coastal front in pacific grove

My friends and I stopped here after a long walk at the beach and we were not disappointed. The food is incredible. I would recommend: - Crab burger (go Cajun) - Fishwife Tostada Salad (go Cajun) Sit outside on a nice day, but consider sun screen if you're not in the shade.

Clam chowder is delicious served with a side of crispy garlic bread. Grilled barramundi is perfectly cooked with a slightly crispy layer and flaky interior. Crab cakes are flavorful but I have had better.

Tucked away from the ocean along Sunset Drive, for starters, Fishwife provides a beautiful breath of Pacific fresh air! The seafood is fresh and mouthwateringly delicious. The menu prices reflect an excellent value. With a full bar, child's plates, gluten free and classic fish choices, there are plenty of options to enjoy and satisfy! The light and bright seaside, organic ambiance and atmosphere boasts turquoise accents, wide windows and a rustic stone wall. We loved visiting this intimate restaurant and will again, next time we find ourselves joyously coasting along the 17 Mile Drive near Monterey.

I was able to get a spur of the moment reservation using their website when we drove past on our way to our vacation rental nearby. The mussels were incredible and for my main I had the halibut and my lady had the spaghetti. All dishes came out excellent. Im glad this place caught my eye!

Cute little restaurant a stone's throw from the beach. On an impromptu visit on the Fourth of July, friendly staff guided us to a table topped with red white and blue fresh flowers. The smell of seafood and white wine and garlic assured us we would be satisfied. We enjoyed fresh oysters, calamari, and the mussels. The oysters are quite large and creamy- they are from Vancouver. The calamari is what I like to call calamari fries because they are made from filets and are strips- the meat of which were super tender. The mussels were our favorite- white wine, garlic, and topped with pico de gallo. Really special. We finished with a molten lava cake that met our expectations. The only downside would be that the bathrooms were very small and there was one for women and one for men which equated to waiting a bit. Overall we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff seemed harmonious and genuinely happy to be of service. Our food came out in 10 minutes at the height of dinner service on a holiday. Well-done! Looking forward to a return trip.

You can go to this place if you are someone who enjoys your food a little basic & bland. This place was probably recommended to you by locals or good yelp reviews. As someone who has traveled broadly and had amazing flavorful food. This place is frankly bad, the food is bad. I ordered the SOLE PICCATA and my guest ordered the fish and chips. My mashed potatoes tasted like instant, the lemon caper sauce was nasty and the veggies were unseasoned reheated frozen vegetable medley. My guest said their fish tasted like reheated frozen fish sticks. It was very overpriced and I've had better in the area. The waiter was decent but not great.

Always fantastic to be here. They have such great food and service right next to the beach. Friendly and attentive staff. We got the cheese flautas, the barramundi, and the calamari steak. Out of the two times that we got the barramundi and calamari steak, they were perfectly cooked. The calamari steak is especially impressive because it was tender and not chewy. I like the simplicity of their ingredients and how flavorful they make a set combination of food. You can really taste every ingredient.

A local in Pacific Grove recommended this restaurant, located in an odd spot on Sunset Drive. The inside has an interesting aura of diner mixed with sea knick knacks. The service was pleasant and prompt. The clam chowder cup was tasty, but the clams were not as tender as I would prefer. The Caesar salad was average. I found it odd that a seafood restaurant doesn't provide anchovies with its caesars. I ordered the crab burger, and the waiter told me it was snow crab. However, it came smushed together in the form of a fried paddy, rather than pieces of crab. The burger was average, as was my overall experience.

We were out on a bike ride and decided to pop in for a quick drink and appetizer. This is a cute spot with a little view of the ocean and have been wanting to check this place out. We were trying to park our bikes out front and a man came out and pointed us in the direction of the bike rack, which was nice. I went for the Pendragon Strong ale and my friend had the Fishwives One Eleven. Both were ok in my opinion. I'm not used to dark ales but went for it, but not my favorite. The cocounut shrimp came out quickly and was very good! We didn't stay for more then drinks and an app but would try their dinner based on the good service, and food we tasted.

Overpriced and over hyped - locals that have been here longer than me say it was better under old management. It just tastes like middle of the bar restaurant food. The decor is also very dated - the servers however are very kind.

Great place for seafood at decent prices. Made a reservation and was seated quickly. Started with a bowl of clam chowder and it was very good. Not super thick and loaded with clams and potatoes. Also, the calamari strips were excellent; very tender and fresh. For my entree, the Portofino was a seafood pasta and it was loaded with everything. Salmon, mussels, octopus, squid, shrimp, scallops, and clams in a light tomato-based sauce; definitely made the right choice b/c I loved it. Too full for dessert, but service was efficient too. Would return when in the area.

This small restaurant in Pacific Grove is one I've always wanted to try. I was by myself so sat at the 8 seat bar for dinner. Rich the bartender was lovely and the hosts and other servers were as well. The food though was very disappointing. I had the Prawns Belize. It was incredibly bland. No differentiating flavors between the black beans, rice, and prawns which just had a big spoonful of non-flavorful salsa dumped on top. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper on my own. Not what I expected for a $28 entree. I won't be back.

Excellent food so so fresh ! The cod came piping hot the coconut shrimp was delicious! Crab tostadas were loaded with fresh crab ! The service was by Augustine and was prompt and very sweet . Parking was a breeze ! The location by the ocean was beautifully pleasant. Yum yum yum

Went for lunch....nice and quiet despite being moderately full of patrons. We were seated immediately and our server was attentive as was the bus boy who cleared our table for each course. The food was fresh and most was made from scratch. We really thought the food and ambiance were well worth it. I can see how it might be crazy busy for dinner. Will come back!

Nestled in the charming coastal town of Pacific Grove, Fishwife is a seafood haven that delights the senses with its fresh, flavorful offerings. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of indulging in the Fishwife's Clam Chowder, Alfredo Combo, and Crabcakes. The star of the show was undoubtedly the Fishwife's Clam Chowder, a creamy and hearty delight that transported me straight to the New England coast. The chowder boasted a perfect balance of tender clams, smoky bacon, and velvety potatoes, all swimming in a rich, flavorful broth. For those craving a surf-and-turf experience, the Alfredo Combo is a must-try. The dish featured perfectly cooked shrimp and succulent scallops nestled in a bed of al dente fettuccine, all smothered in a luscious Alfredo sauce. The marriage of creamy pasta and delicate seafood was a match made in culinary heaven, and the generous portions ensured a satisfying, indulgent experience. The crabcakes at Fishwife were excellent as well - golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a tender and flavorful crab filling on the inside. Each bite revealed the freshness of the crab, accented by a subtle blend of herbs and spices. Beyond the delectable dishes, the ambiance at Fishwife was pretty casual & low key. The attentive and friendly staff further enhanced the dining experience. We were able to make a reservation on OpenTable. In conclusion, Fishwife in Pacific Grove is a gem for seafood enthusiasts and casual diners alike.

I appreciated how efficient and friendly they were at Fishwife! We got our order on time. We ordered the Alfredo combo, the crab cakes, clam chowder and the Mussels. Alfredo and the Fish & Chips were ok. The crab cakes, mussels, and clam chowder were solid. I think some of the food was a little cold, so that affected the quality of food. I would try to eat in person next time, but still wouldn't order the Alfredo.

Delicious food and great service! Love the green lip mussels and calamari served abalone style!

We were looking to fuel up on the day before the Big Sur marathon. And this ended up being a good spot even though we did not try the fish. The veggie bowl I ordered included rice, black and a variety of vegetables that were sautéed well without being overly cooked. My husband liked his marinara pasta too. A simple meal and the perfect balance of protein and carbs that you need in order to get ready for a race. Our side order of garlic bread was not too garlicky and nicely crisp. The ambiance is good too with lots of locals who dine here and large windows on one side, overlooking trails. Just taking one star off as the service was on the slow side. And we had to nudge them to get an extra order of garlic bread. PS: The diners close by were raving about the desert though we did not try it!

Very average food. Expected much more after reading reviews. The only good item is their calamari sticks from calamari steaks.

I had the scallops and they were delicious. Staff was wonderful. Nice, kid friendly restaurant.

The fishwife is a must-do when in Pacific Grove. It's old school and the dining room reflects that. But the food is very good and fresh. (I don't even eat seafood and I like it here) And just so you know, they will make almost any dish that has seafood in it without seafood. I don't think that it would be safe if you are highly allergic, but it's ok for me. My husband and daughter always want to return to Fishwife when we come to Monterey. It's difficult to persuade them to try any other place. That says a lot!

Crab Tostaditas are terrific if you like cold crab. Chowder was not the best, but service was good and Calamari was really great!

We started with the fried calamari with was prepared with a cornmeal breading. It was very tender, thick slices and crispy batter. I had the Cajon salmon that was spicy, but not hot. We alsonhad the Mazatlan fisherman's bowl. Good serving size, tender prawns with vegetables, rice and black beans. We ate outside which was nice. Inside was a bit noisy for us as the restaurant was busy. The service was very nice, helpful and made great recommendations. It's location was odd, being next to an old closed down motel. It looks like the restaurant was originally part of the motel before the motel closed. This does not effect the food or service, which was great!

I enjoyed their seafood pasta, a glass of Pinot Grigio, and key lime pie. Pasta was a tasty scallop, shrimp, seafood medley in rich cream sauce. Pie was refreshing. It was quieter than I expected during Saturday of Memorial weekend. Still, like the vibes, the restaurant was brightly lit up like a scarce sanctuary that you can see from the Asilomar Coastal Trail on a gloomy day.

This was definitely tucked away on a long road near a beachside so be careful not to miss it! The space was small but for a decent amount of people. We were at a window seat so we could see people driving down the long road. The food was good! I love prawn/fish and chips so I was excited. Normally they are beer battered which I don't eat so the breading was a different experience. The fish was flaky and amazing, I will say it wasn't a "nostalgic" fish n chips (which is ok!) so while I liked it I don't think this is my preferred version. Same goes for the prawns. I liked them even more than the fish and thought they were very good, I could eat a bucket of those shrimp. The fries were good too which I'm pretty picky about. The Shirley Temple was good but the cherry tasted rotten which I've never experienced from a maraschino cherry. I think they are better off leaving out the cherry if it's not meant to be edible.

My wife and I decided to eat here after a day watching a race at Laguba Seca. The food here was surprisingly good especially the seafood dishes. My wife ordered a seafood pasta that was packed full of flavor. I'm not not sure what they used to make the sauce but it had the right amount of seafood and tomato flavor. Additionally the seafood quesadilla was also super delicious. The staff here are very friendly and the restaurant itself was small but cozy. Definitely a good experience.

Cute place & delicious food! Staff are super friendly. Kids loved the food (fish & chips) and stayed entertained the whole time. We will definitely come back

Lived my dinner at Fishwife. It's Kitschy, warm, vibrant, bustling, nostalgic and friendly. Service was impeccable in a busy Friday night. Clam chowder thick and rich with lots of fresh tasting clams. I added some spice. Baja bowl unique blend of fish, beans, veggies, rice and salsa. Kid friendly Lively bar Staff eager to please. Reservations may be needed.

I understand it's a bad economy situation with inflation but 5 pieces of shrimp, 2 slices of carrot one small bundle of broccoli & few fries is not $30! So bland. Most fish houses like Phil's gave way better portions. Done & done

After a day in Pacific Grove, my wife and I chose the Fishwife Restaurant for an early dinner. We didn't have reservations, but since it was early, that was no problem. We were seated immediately. The food was tasty and they were willing to adjust to my low carb request (substitute the usual mashed potatoes for extra vegetables). I had the Sole Piccata ($28), which had a tasty sauce. My wife had the delicious Portofino Linguini ($34) which consisted of a generous amount of shrimp, scallops, fish (including salmon), with a delicious sauce, over linguini. There was a problem with the temperature inside the dining room. It was too cold. I asked the waiter if it could be made warmer, but he said that the heater was already on and there was nothing he could do about it. So, we ate our dinner wearing our coats!

We are locals. We stopped here on a Friday evening for date night and had the most delicious drinks, meal and dessert. The service was great, literally complaints. We enjoyed this place so much we returned when we had out town guests two weeks later. Pictured is the highly recommend key lime pie martini, crab tostadas, portofino pasta, salmon Lafayette and some of the best key lime pie you'll ever taste Reservations are recommended

The service was wonderful. We really enjoyed our time talking to Rich. The food though, was not good at all. Very overpriced. $29 for bite sized portion of fish and chips. The fries were stale and you can taste that it just came out of bag from the freezer. We also ordered the Alfredo pasta and added calamari. Let me also give credit that the added on for calamari was way more than I expected. However....why is there pico de gallo on top of the pasta? The calamari was crispy but bland. I had to add some lemon just to get some sort of flavor from it. That too, was $29. We spent $92 on 2 entrees, 1 beer and 1 iced tea. I like to spend my money on great quality food. But Fishwife just isn't it. We won't be returning. We are thankful for the hospitality that Rich welcomed us with, that was the highlight of our dinner.

Off the beaten path, seemed like people here were mostly locals. Really glad we decided on this restaurant, since it was much less chaotic than many of the seafood restaurants in the more tourist-oriented parts of monterey. We ordered the fried calamari to share (saw that it was highly recommended by Yelpers), and it truly did not disappoint. The breading was light and delicious, perfect size for sharing. My husband and I got the shrimp veneto and the rock cod daily special to share. The shrimp veneto was delicious, loved the seasoning. The rock cod special was served on a salad with beets and mangoes- the mango was actually such a refreshing addition to the salad! Service here was quick, food came out fast. Overall, super happy we decided to give Fishwife a shot!

It's really ocean themed inside which I loved when first time eating here. My bf and I met friends and enjoyed the overall ambiance and food. The service was nice and attentive to our drinks and experience.

Really enjoyed the fish fry. Wife liked hers too. We were in a large group. Food came and it was freshly made. Service was good.

Just ate there and there was plastic in my entree. Like a sheet a Saran Wrap cooked in it. Their apology was weak. They asked if I wanted something else so I ordered to go. And they still charged me You don't charge when you ruin someone's dinner. I could have choked on it.

Overall, Fish Wife was pricey for what it is, but tasty. I was looking for a casual fish spot for our last meal in Monterey. This was a great choice. We started with coconut shrimp. This was delicious. However, for $17, I'd expect more than 5 shrimp. Yummy nonetheless. The black cod fish and chips was good. The battered cod was crispy and delicious. The fries were alright but I think homemade fries that are fried better would have taken this to the next level. Both the shrimp and the cod were cooked perfectly and came out very hot. My non fish eating partner said he enjoyed his chicken piccata, although the sauce was heavier than he expected. The show stopper was the bread pudding, which was WOW. I wish it was a full time menu item. When the bill same, I was a bit shocked that our dinner came out to $90 without purchasing any drinks. For the type of restaurant and the food, I was expecting something more like $75. Still, it was a nice dinner and just what we wanted.

Staying close by, it was by far our favorite place in Pacific Grove. Went every chance we got. Food, service, ambiance all excellent!

Service was great. Everyone very nice and properly attentive. Calamari was great. It was tender and cooked perfectly. Wife had Barramundi. It was a bit fishy, but everything around it was very good. Cooked properly. I had lamb chops. Best dish of the night. Slightly overcooked, but it did not matter. Great flavor and tender. Daughter had Alfredo with scallops, fail. Scallops slightly undercooked and pasta had no flavor. Deserts were good. All three dishes came with mixed vegetables as a side, not a fan. Kind of loud.

We discovered Fishwife by accident during my battle with Cancer. Got to return last night for a "healthy" visit and dinner with friends. OMG! Once again we were super impressed with everything about this restaurant. Very friendly staff, incredibly comfortable atmosphere, and the food is epic! We have three appetizers and four separate dinner plates... we were all very happy with our meals! And did I say their wine list is also very impressive!!! Thank you Fishwife! Back on our next visit!!!!

I purchased the vegetarian bowl and it was very good. The staff was very friendly and timely. It's a cute, clean restaurant in a nice area.

We stopped here for lunch while on vacation, service and food were both excellent! With 4 kids in tow we were very happy to see they have a kids menu. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Thank you.

We came to this restaurant on a recommendation from the Butterfly Grove Inn in Pacific Grove, Ca. Fishwife 1996 1/2 sunset drive Pacific Grove, Ca. (831)375-7107. We love this place. Everybody is friendly everybody smiles. The food is delicious when we get back down this way from Napa where we live we will definitely come back here and I was told that the calamari steaks are absolutely out of this world. Highly recommend.

I am so sad. I have been coming to this restaurant for at least 15 years. This evening I received the worst customer service EVER!!! My server was Tony. Right when I came in I said 1 please. Was seated and then the gentleman walked away. Tony came up to me & I stated "i know exactly what I would like." Then he walked away. He came back about 3 minutes later. When I was ordering, I said "I would like to start with a hibiscus margarita.l I asked if they have Cazadores. Tony stated they have reposado. I said "OK cool can I please get a hibiscus margarita with reposado." Then he said "I'm sorry. All we have his patron. I said "so the only tequila you have is patron?" He said "yes that's all we have unfortunately." I said "wow where's the owner. I gotta talk to him about that" & laughed. He said "oh Berk is off tonight." I said "OK let me get a Moscow mule with Jameson so it can be an Irish mule". Then he said OK and went to get it. I ordered my food just calamari and a seafood quesadilla but I kept saying I wanted to keep the menu. He tried to take the menu from me three times. All I ordered was calamari & a seafood quesadilla. When I was looking at the menu, I see they had a drink with Don Julio. I said "so you have Don Julio tequila?" He said "you said you wanted reposado" I said "no I asked if you had cazadores & then YOU told me the only tequila you had was apron. Then I asked if patron was your only tequila & you said yes" he said "oh well do you want me to change your drink then?" I said "no but you should slow down and listen." I got my calamari about 10 minutes later. What I noticed, though was two tables that had three people had already got their main courses. I waited for about 25 minutes just for a quesadilla. A lady came in and she was greeted by Tony. She was offered water. And she got her fish and chips in about 10 minutes. They weren't that busy. Remind you, I wasn't even offered water. I had to ask for a glass of water. And I said to him wow I've been waiting for my food for about 25 minutes. I noticed I think he forgot about it because I kept looking at my watch and then when he looked at me, I saw him run to the computer and typed something in and then my food came out about 10 minutes later. Hopefully if there are cameras in this facility, the owners can take a look at the customer service. I did not get checked on if I needed anything else. I had to flag someone else now to ask for a box. Then Tony came and brought me two boxes. I was asked if I would like dessert. I said " yes, I have a free check in on yelp for the Keylime pie. To go please." he said " Keylime pie you got it." Then he brought it to me at the table and I said "to go please" next he brought me my check. I said "you're charging me $10 for the Keylime pie. I told you I have a yelp check in." He then stated "oh well you have to create an account and login to do that." I said "I already have that all I have to do is check in to show you for the free Keylime pie." Then he says "pull up the app please and do it." I said "here you go" and I showed it to him. Then he walked away and redid the check. he did not listen. He was rude. I did not get checked on. The customer service was horrible. The Fishwife has gone dowwwwnnn. I have been coming here for many many years. After today I will not be back. I'm still very appalled on how tables who came in after me and ordered after me with parties of three receive their food before me. When all I got was two little items. I felt very disrespected. Hmmmmi wonder what it was. Time to find a new spot in Pacific Grove/Monterey. I'm very sad. And I do want to state that even though the customer service was horrible, I still tipped him five dollars cash. Won't be back.

food was so good here! Definitely better than all of the more popular places in Monterey near the tourist attractions. The calamari was sooo good. Thick cuts of calamari with a light but crunchy breading. The seafood pasta and clam chowder were also delicious but my favorite part of the meal was the housemade key lime pie. do not sleep on it! We ordered all the food at once and the server made sure to time things coming out just as we finished one part of the meal. It was perfect! This place is slightly off the beaten path but worth it. There is plenty of street parking and you can take a nice drive along the coast afterwards.

We had dinner there the other night, walked in without a reservation and were promptly seated. The service was great, and our waiter was very friendly. However, the food was mediocre and way overpriced. I had gotten the grilled shrimp with rice and my husband ordered their lamb chops. We had a side of fries and they were underwhelming as well, I can do better with my air fryer at home. The special wine by the bottle that they offered was a total ripoff; it was marked up 3x what it sells for and it wasn't anything memorable. I wouldn't go back nor would I recommend it to anyone visiting.

Best meal for the money, service was phenomenal! Lots of people enjoying merriment and great food

In town for a quick stop over night, recommended by our hotel. It was busy they suggested a reservation but they seated us two right away. Servers were very friendly. We started with the Hibiscus margarita which were delicious. We shared the calamari which was good and not greasy, a good dozen or so strips. Clam chowder was next which was nice and hot with good flavor, not the best I've had but good. Finally for dessert the crème brûlée, delicious! Plate servings looked a very nice big portion and most people seemed to eat it all, come hungry. There is outside seating with a view of the ocean but it was chilly so we were inside. I would return if ever in town again. Don't let the hotel under renovation attached to it deter you from coming. Neat local place to eat.

Just off the side of Asilomar state beach is a small restaurant that goes by Fishwife. With its marine interior and connection by the sea, this spot sports seafood dining that beats the prices of Monterey proper. We reserved our table on OpenTable and were pleasantly surprised with the little to no wait. One of the owners took care of directing my mom to the restroom while they prepared our table. Sitting down, our server was attentive and energetic with recommendations. We started off with the calamari & clam chowder bowl and eventually got the Alaskan Halibut and Alfredo Combo Pasta Calamari - this isn't your usual calamari with squid heads and small tentacles but rather it's made and cooked from a larger squid and deep friend to a golden brown. The tartar sauce complimented it well and the seasoning created excellent flaking. Clam Chowder Bowl - pretty good clam chowder but what made it stand out was fish wife's habanero sauce. This is a must! Rather than rely on crackers, the habanero sauce adds a kick that elevates it from a typical chowder to one that should be savored. Alaskan Halibut - whatever seasoning and sauce the chef produced made this one of the best halibut fillets I've eaten. The fish was firm though juicy on the inside. Rather than taste mushy, it felt fresh without any fishy salty taste. Alfredo Combo Pasta - Imagine chowder + Alfredo + fresh fettuccine from Carmel, this was the best seafood Alfredo pasta I've had. Each flight was flavorful and the scallops and shrimps were plentiful. A MUST ORDER!!! Overall, Fishwife is a hidden gem in the bustling greater Monterey area. While it's not in Monterey, the value for what you get compared to in the city is so much better. What you get at fishwife is the same tastes and quality of fine dining in Monterey, but with better prices and a local atmosphere. Please know that I write this hesitantly as a part of me wants to hide fishwife for my own selfishness. It's just that good! ^_^

Great spot for great fish. I recommend the Calamari, sole piccata and the Barramundi!

Ordered Grubhub- requested silverware because we are traveling and have none in hotel room, in two separate places, and no silverware. Come on people. Why.

Fishwife is no good any more. We used to go there to feast a long time ago. The so called prawns are in size of quarters and scallops thumb nail, but the prices has gone up. Fishwife must have been remarried. We won't go there any more.

We had dinner here the first night we arrived in Pacific Grove. It was a short drive from Rosedale Inn and came recommended by the innkeeper. There was no wait and we were seated right away. Fishwife is a casual seafood restaurant serving fresh seafood. We got the fried calamari for the appetizer. It was all whole chunks of squid and no tenacles and delicious. My wife ordered the Alfredo seafood dish and I ordered the Seafood combo platter. Service was fast and efficient. For dessert, we got the lime key pie. Everything was very good and we will return the next time we're in Pacific Grove/Monterey area.
