39080 CA-1, Gualala, CA 95445 | Gualala, CA 95445| (707) 884-1789

Mendonoma's newest restaurant is fun, fast and fresh.  Located on the north side of Gualala in the historic Bakertown center, the Gualala Seafood Shack offers the highest quality seafood sourced directly from the ocean out back (in Antonio's Tacos old site).

The Seafood Shack opened for service Friday,  April 5, 2019, to good reviews.  

Its owners, Ross and Susana, of Trink's fame,  invite you to experience the true meaning of Ocean to Table dining.

Shrimp sandwich was good with grilled-to-order shrimp.

Its décor is minimal. Some may call it “clean”; others call it stark offering communal zinc-topped tables with no cushions on the benches. Guests place their orders and pick them up at the counter. When finished you must bus your own dishes.  For me, the biggest negative was the noise: there is nothing soft in the place and the noise environment is harsh.

Their fish tacos (deep-fried ling cod) are reported to be were good. They are topped with a very tasty sauce, kind of a Thousand Island, not a spicy salsa.  Others reported the clam chowder was good.
