For many years I would visit the Bolinas market after surfing, where the deli serves delicious sandwiches and the people are always warm. Sandwich best eaten with some chips and the sun in the nearby park.

We went to the market in the morning upon hearing great reviews of their fresh fish selection. They were sold out but the fish counter man told us he was expecting a delivery that afternoon – including Black Cod- which we told him we were excited to buy. He instructed us to call before making another trip back to ensure the fish had been delivered. We called as instructed and were told the delivery would be at 4:30. When we arrived the same man working the fish counter told us all the black cod had been reserved by other people. We reminded him of our conversation and were met with a blank stare. I strongly suspect he was telling us a story to avoid selling to non-locals. Don’t waste your time here – the market in Point Reyes is infinitely better and the customer service is top-notch.
