Tony’s Seafood is a classic Northern California seafood house on Tomales Bay in Marshall. In 1948, Tony’s Seafood was originally established by a Croatian Fisherman named Anton Tony Konatich. But later in 2017, Hog Island Oysters Company bought Tony’s Seafood from the family. Tony’s Seafood in Marshall is about 1 hour and 30 minutes from San Francisco via US-101 North ( 56 miles). Tony’s is open from Thursday to Tuesday from 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. Reservations and walk-ins are welcome.
Our drive to Tony’s Seafood in Marshall was a very fun, scenic, and winding road. The view of Tomales Bay during our travel was well worth the drive. We saw a lot of dairy farms, cows, cheese, and creamery local stores on our way to Tony’s. We arrived at around 11 a.m. and end up parking on the side of the street close to the water and saw a few oyster shell casings on the side of the road. There were a few people already in line ahead of us but we made a reservation online. The friendly hostess greeted us and sat us outside on a table closest to the water. All the tables were separated to adhere to the Covid-19 safety regulations. We even saw a few customers with their dogs having lunch and enjoying the view. The weather was beautiful and sunny but later became windier at around 12:30 p.m.
There were 5 of us at our party which includes 2 kids and 3 adults. We ordered the Pacific raw oysters which are $21 for 6 pieces, grilled bbq and chipotle bourbon grilled oysters for $17, pasta and clams for $27, HIOC clam chowder for $17, HIOC Bloody Mary. Our food was delivered to our table within 5-10 minutes. My wife and sister-in-law loved the raw and grilled oysters while dipping them in the special sauce that they had provided. The grilled bbq and bourbon oysters looked appetizing and delicious. The clam chowder, pasta, and clams were not too thick or creamy but very delicious and fresh ingredients. My daughter enjoyed her grilled cheese and some fries on the side.
Overall, we enjoyed our fun lunch experience at Tony’s Seafood especially with all the outdoor (covered/non-covered) tables overlooking the beautiful Tomales Bay. Nothing compares to eating outdoors with friends and family on a sunny day with good quality food and fresh raw or grilled oysters.
Tips: Make sure you make a reservation and get there early to find parking, avoid the long lines and wait times during lunch(12 noon). You can reach Tony’s Seafood either via Nicasio Valley Road or Tomales Petaluma Road. We took both ways and find that Nicasio Valley Road has more winding roads than the Tomales Petaluma Road.
