  • No reservations are taken here, but call ahead to be placed on the wait list--the owners will favor you with an accurate wait time.
  • There is a separate fryer strictly for vegetarian fare, and the wine list includes several vegan offerings.
  • The food is a nod to the Wang Fat Fish Market, which helmed the same street corner for 20 years; the name is a reference to a British clothing company that is also a little laid-back and out of the ordinary.

Simple and casual, but a nice option to have

If casual fish joints were a dime-a-dozen, then I’d say Weird Fish would be 7 cents. But since restaurants like Weird Fish are so rare, I think they bring an experience to the Mission that I’m happy to have. The fish is simple but tasty, sort of like the equivalent of a pescheria taqueria. I got the dijon-almond encrusted trout ($7) which took a simple fish and made it tastier with an appealing sauce. It wasn’t too mustardy and the fish was tasty, but simple. The trout was pretty small so I was glad I got two small tacos and a small cup of soup. The two tacos ($3.75 each) were the yam and the talapia. The yam was tasty with a mix of seeds, avocado, lettuce, and mashed yam. Not the best yam dish around and the tortillas fall apart too easily, but it was nice for $4. The tilapia with mango salsa was also nice, though something you could find at a better taqueria. The potato squash soup was mostly a potato soup with a slight edge. Not bad, but not as interesting as I would have expected.

Outstanding Local Place

Stumbled across a review of this place looking for reasonably priced fresh fish. Hit the jackpot. We had three appetizers and two entrees. Everything was fantastic. Fresh. Interesting flavors. As a bonus, the staff was super nice. FYI,…

Small, social, and tasty

I've had a great time everytime I've gone here. The people who work here know how to make you feel at home. You'll be especially impressed not just by the food, but also by their wines. I highly recommend this place.
