Fish are food not friends · Fish Time is best known for its signature dish, California poke. It is the most popular and contains ahi tuna, salmon, sashimi and crab meat with wasabi and sesame seeds.

At Fish Time, spacious interior with simple design provides comfortable dining environment for the customers. Poke Bowl is the signature dish at Fish Time, while “California poke” is regarded as the most popular. Sashimi-rade Ahi tuna, salmon and a scoop of crabmeat blend perfectly with the creamy wasabi and sesame seeds. There are also pure tuna or salmon poke bowls to choose from, both of which can be made in the original or spicy flavors. All poke bowls come with rice, pickled cucumbers, avocado and nori, and additional ingredients such as seaweed are available.

If you are looking for something even healthier, the poke salad would be a good option. Besides all the vegetables that come in original poke bowls, extra tomatoes, edamame, carrots and ginger dressing definitely add more refreshing flavors to the poke.

As for sandwiches, the shrimp and crab melt is worth trying. Large, sweet shrimps and crab meat fully melt with hot cheese inside the toasted sourdough bread — every bite leads to an greater level of satisfaction. A small portion of cabbage salad comes as a side of fries and coleslaw to balance the sandwich’s richness.

In addition to the regular clam chowder, Fish Time also serves the innovative chowder fries, which are absolutely delicious. Chowder fries are crispy, piping hot French fries covered with thick, creamy clam chowder sauce and bacon bits. Fresh clams with chewy texture integrate well with the natural cut French fries — a game-changing creation to gratify hungry people.

Lobster roll in creamy garlic, spicy Cajun, or original flavor, shrimp taco, shrimp burrito and albacore steak are currently on the seasonal menu. However, even though Fish Time is a good place for quick lunch or weekend get together with friends, with a price range from $9 to $13, might be a little higher compared to other seafood-centric restaurants in the area.

It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with happy hour specials served from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Don’t forget to check in on Yelp and receive free crab quesadillas.
