SF STATION
". . . it (weird fish) is everything one would want in one's own neighborhood -- an affordable restaurant with high-quality, sustainable food; efficient and friendly service; and a stylish atmosphere."
"Vegetarian friends are already touting the Weird Fish brunch (available daily) as a total godsend."

TABLEHOPPER
"As they promised me before opening, they were gonna make the best damned fish and chips in town. They worked like hell on getting the recipe right, and I have to say the beer batter adheres perfectly to the nice juicy chunks of tilapia like a dream. Not greasy, not soggy, not too battery, just crispy enough. Piping hot. Salted just right. Hmmmm, by Jove, I think they did it."
— Marcia Gagliardi
COOKING WITH AMY
Some other favorite dishes of mine are the Edamame Noodle Salad ($4), and the decidedly weird, but strangely addictive fried dill pickles called yoyo's. I think they used to be slices but are now long juicy and crisp, crunchy spears.

"The Mission is better known for carne asada than seafood, but that doesn't stop this small, modern, eco-friendly restaurant from serving up some of the best fish-and-chips in the city."

The fried Calamari and the fake fish are decent, but not quite worth the price. What impressed me about Weird Fish was the very quick and friendly service. There was never a point where we were sitting around, wondering if we'd ever see our waitress again. That aspect is very refreshing. The atmosphere is also nice, although a bit noisy since you're in close quarters with the other customers.

Fried pickles, poboys of all flava's - this small cleverly named joint offers uniquely southern, piscine, veggie and spicey Mission fare as funked as the clientelle and ambiance. Troll your best live bait, worm, or lures and see what you catch from an aquarium filled with exotic bites.

I like this place, I've come a couple times with friends sensitive to my veggie sensibilities. It's kind of a down-home meets cajun meets vegan meets tapas sort of place, with several fish, seitan, and tofu options.
I recommend trying the fried pickles as an appetizer. It sounds weird, it IS weird, but in a good way.
Close proximity to 16th Street BART station makes it easy to avoid the headache that can be parking in the Mission.
