I love this place! My oldest son took me out for my birthday dinner here at Golden Fish Seafood Restaurant. We were seated outside right in front of the restaurant. I was told it would be cold but with their outside heater on and with my down jacket on, and the decaf coffee we ordered I was pleasantly comfortable at 7:00 p.m.
The owner; Oscar, took our orders and was such a nice friendly man and I told him I was the one who called and asked if they had outside dining.
I ordered the Salmon bowl which I can say rivals the quality of food in Monterey. The salmon piece was large and was cooked to perfection and there was no fishy taste–only the fresh, grilled, light, melt in your mouth flakiness which you would expect from a high end restaurant. The chips were delicious when paired with the mango salsa, regular salsa on the bowl. The beans and rice mixture with red onion and broccoli rounded out the whole meal. Oscar came back to give us the bill and told us his family had helped with the business for twenty-three years, (since 1997),which always speaks volumes that this is a family owned and operated place. Please support your local restaurants–that’s what my son and I say.
I would come back again and again to try more delights on their menu.

This is a little hidden surprise I think in Salinas.
It’s italian and american fair with a mexican twist. I got the catfish and chips, and my husband got a normal Italian pasta dish, but it had a Mexican flair to it, he said it was different but very good.
The catfish was cooked perfectly, with it being nice and moist and not over cooked. The kids split another dish I don’t remember the name unfortunately, but it was another Italian marinara dish, with shrimp, and it had the Mexican spice thrown it. It did taste good, but it was a little too spicy for the kids.

They have the best cioppino in Monterey County and friendly service. The calamari appetizer was perfectly done. Locally owned.

We were staying in Salinas for a night, saw the good reviews for this place, and decided to give it a try. We were happily rewarded. The service is excellent and personable and the food is delicious. I had the shrimp and chips which were a cut or two above good. My wife had the sand dabs and loved them. They get the music right too. Nice tasteful salsa. Highly recommended.

This place is fantastic. I took a friend from San Francisco who is a real Foodie here and he has not stopped talking about this place! How fresh the food was, the broccoli was cooked perfectly, the soup was to die for the salmon was delicious. He keeps saying “what I would do for that Clam Chowder recipe”… Every time I have been there I have not been disappointed. You can count on the food being fresh, healthy, and so yummy. Do not skip this wonderful place in Salinas or you will miss out.

Wonderful too, great service. Even though the Lobster Bisque was not offered on the day we went in we asked anyway. The chef made us the most wonderful lobster bisque. The food prices are also very reasonable. Wait staff is attentive and we received our meal right away. we will definitely be making this gem of a restaurant one of our regular places to eat. Thank you Golden Fish.

The dishes were well seasoned and delicious. Be prepared for lots of dairy and cheese however. We had the combo alfredo and calamari steak and both were heavy tasting dishes. The calamari appetizer was tender and well coated. The staff was nice, welcoming and helpful.

Stopped by here on a whim Christmas Eve late afternoon. There were a few folks in the restaurant and a mail carrier was leaving with hot soup – we thought we’d try. What an awesome late lunch, early dinner. I ordered the seafood mix dish and thoroughly enjoyed it. Spouse ordered fish chips. Both good

The website says Salvadoran food. True if the restaurant was seaside in El Salvador. They do have good pupusas, but their menu leans heavily to sea food with a tropical flair so the name is very appropriate. Our dishes were delicious! Perfectly cooked fish with mango salsa. I don’t usually go to Salvadoran restaurants for fish, but I will be coming back here either alone or with friends.
