Suspicious Fish Dish

I spent Saturday in the Mission, as I am wont to do these days looking for bookstores, and a coworker had recommended that if I go down there to try Weird Fish for lunch. Weird Fish is located on the cross-streets of 18th and Mission, on Mission itself on the right side if you are heading back toward Market, and I was lucky enough to be there at lunch.

(I will also say that I was at the Mission version of Philz’ earlier that day and Phil himself made my coffee. Ah, celebrity…)

Anyway, enough fawning over men in fedoras, I had fish to eat. The place is HUGELY bohemian (for pics and stuff see their website at http://www.weirdfishsf.com/), and I don’t think I saw a single person in there over the age of thirty. I had to wonder how my coworker fit in when he went, since he is a guy in his 50’s, but no matter. I was there to scope it out. I tried the grilled rainbow trout in three peppers, which wasn’t bad—they aren’t expensive, but this is the au naturale stuff, like Gratitude Café in the Sunset and others in the Haight, where everything is “green” and organic and local. The taste didn’t blow me away, but other things on the menu looked good (fried pickles? BA-BY…), so I’ll probably go back to try other things.

In addition to this, the restaurant is only two blocks from Good Vibrations.

Rock on, she says, blushing.
