Service was quick and friendly. The charred octopus was a highlight and it was presented with a beautiful salad. The chowder was deliciously creamy and was served with fresh sourdough. The shrimp cocktail had the most delicious sauce and tender shrimp. The mahi fish was tender and perfectly cooked. The rice presentation was pretty but not in the same league. The king crab was sweet and fresh.

A new restaurant is always a curiosity in Arcata. This one is absolutely terrific. I had rack of lamb, and it was perfection: beautifully seasoned, lovely portion, served on such fresh vegetables. My friend had salmon, and again, rave reviews. Our server was a lovely young man. It's nice to see they are doing well. Next time: brunch.

You will never find this place just poking around. After all, LoCo Fish Co. is a food truck parked outside of Redwood Curtain Brewery. But I highly suggest making the effort to find it - both for the food, and for the beer and fun at the brewery.Evidently, the owner worked in marine biology locally for over a decade, and then decided it would be better to start eating fish than studying them. It was a wise decision!We got the fish and chips with fresh locally caught albacore. Folks might think albacore wouldn't be a good choice for fish and chips. They'd be wrong. These thick, moist slabs of tasty albacore were cooked in a panko breading, which proved to be a perfect pairing. Whether we're talking the US or England, I've never had a better plate of fish and chips. It has become my new standard for fish and chips worldwide. If someone can't do better than LoCo Fish, then they need to work harder, for I have tasted perfection.You can take your meal inside the brewery (it's encouraged), and enjoy it with some excellent local beer, play a little shuffleboard with the friendly locals, and have a wonderful time in Arcata. We highly recommend LoCo Fish Co.
