There’s nothing like driving along the Northern California coast when you’re craving some super fresh seafood. After all, our coast is dotted with dozens of hidden gem seafood shacks that serve up freshly-caught eats. However, a place called Princess Seafood may just be the freshest spot on the NorCal coast! Featuring fish that’s been caught on their very own fishing boat, the Princess, this waterfront eatery is basically as fresh as it gets. Once you taste the difference, you’ll simply never be able to go back.
A quaint restaurant located right where Noyo River meets Noyo Bay in Fort Bragg, Princess Seafood is a hidden gem that serves up some of the freshest seafood dishes on the coast.
The Princess is a 42-foot freezer troller that regularly traverses the West Coast waters looking for salmon, albacore, cod, and crab. Fish caught by the Princess is sold at their own fish market and used to create your seafood favorites at the restaurant!
Tucked right underneath the Noyo Bridge, the restaurant location couldn't be located in a more scenic setting. The restaurant is quite small but boasts a lovely outdoor deck where you can sit and enjoy views of the bay while you dine.
The menu is loaded with some of the best seafood our coast has to offer, including Sablefish and Dungeness Crab caught by the ladies on the Princess. Enjoy it fresh, fried, or on a sandwich - however you like it!
Love fresh oysters? Princess Seafood offers a plate of notably fantastic oysters from Humboldt Bay. Served simply with mignonette and lemon, you can't go wrong with oysters on the NorCal coast.
You may just love the seafood so much that you want to take some home with you! The fish market is located just down the street and contains a large case packed with locally-caught delights, like crab, bay shrimp, wild prawns, scallops, and those oh-so-delicious Humboldt Bay oysters.
There's no middle man at Princess Seafood, so rest assured that you'll enjoy some of the freshest seafood in Northern California at this humble seafood shack. Check out the Princess Seafood website to learn more about the restaurant and fish market.
