Unique Menu

Sushi rolls

Five years after our first visit, we were pleased to see that Tugboat Fish & Chips had survived the pandemic.

The franchisees, an Asian couple, were still offering a unique menu: sushi plates, other Asian dishes, and English seafood & chips.

When we entered the dining room, eight middle-aged Japanese-Americans were chatting amiably at a large table in the corner. It's always a plus to see locals eating in an establishment that one is about to patronize.

Lunch special

I ordered the lunch special: deep-fried cod, french fries, onion rings, tempura zucchini, and pot stickers. My companion ordered a couple of sushi rolls. The ingredients were fresh, and the deep-fried dishes were crisp and moist inside.

The bill was $30 before tax and tip, about 25% below comparable Bay Area restaurants. We'll be back, and the interval will be a lot less than five years.
