Description
I visited The Dead Fish in September, 2017....a wonderful crab house and prime-rib restaurant overlooking the Carquinez Strait in Crockett, CA.
From their website:
Who Would Name a Restaurant ... "The Dead Fish"?
The Chef explains:
"When I was a boy, growing up in Italy, I loved to watch my Nonna (grandma) work in the kitchen. The catch of the day -- be it calamari, crab, or a variety of fresh fish -- was magic in Nonna's able hands.
Now my Nonna was a little Italian grandma with a big Italian heart. Friends, neighbors, even the local fishermen all knew, if you made your way to Nonna's when you smelled that wonderful fish cooking, you'd be welcome to a plate.
"With so many people clamoring for her cooking, Nonna couldn't be bothered with small details. She never followed a recipe--she just stirred and sampled. And she never remembered the names of the fish she used!
Whenever I would ask, 'Nonna, what kind of fish is this?' she would shrug her shoulders and smile -- 'IT'S A DEAD FISH!'
Everyone laughed and had a great time.
"With fond memories of my Nonna, I welcome you to THE DEAD FISH."
