Fishwives - Pasadena

Hands down my favorite seafood restaurant in Pasadena! You must get the Kumamoto Oysters and Peruvian Scallops! The lobster roll will beat out any in LA and their fish chips are pretty bomb too! Do yourself a favor and go to this restaurant!Food: 5/5

Great choice for seafood here. Small restaurant so recommend making a reservation. The sashimi platter was pretty standard. The fish seafood sampler tasted fresh. The Peruvian scallops were great!Crab cake and lobster roll were tasty as well! Lots of crab and lobster. The fries that came with the lobster roll were nicely crispy.

Fresh seafood, perfectly cooked. We ordered the steamer basket, fried oyster on Deviled Eggs, Fresh dozen Oysters. Really loved the fried oyster in deviled eggs. Steamer basket was really good and fresh. Service was fast. I would have appreciated it though if the server explained which oysters are on the plate. The place has a marine there and minimalist look. Outside patio has a couple of picnic type tables. Parking building structure nearbyAccess ground floor

Wonderful spot in Old Pasadena. This seafood is very fresh and the dishes are really great. My favorite would be the crab rolls as well as the crab Louie salad. I have also had the sushi flight which is three hand-rolled rolls. This is a great appetizer to share. The deviled eggs are great too. If you're in the area and are craving fresh seafood, this is the place to go.

Tried the fish n chips and the clam chowder. Both were very delicious, but it was probably the best clam chowder I've had. The clam chowder was very fragrant and the broth had a good balance of saltiness and flavor. It included real clam shells which looked quite nice. The vegetables were not overcooked and nothing was overly chewy. Fish n chips were very meaty with a thin, crispy batter that was full of flavor. The French fries were thick cut and quite plentiful. Satisfying crunch with a fluffy interior and perfectly seasoned. Wish I had taken pictures, but I wanted to eat right away. Would come back for those items alone. Service was pretty standard and unremarkable. Food came out approximately 20 minutes after ordering which is fine with me. Expect to spend a pretty penny, with some items just slightly overpriced in my opinion. Overall, a must try for seafood fans.
