About

Stepping into Bluefish restaurant is like diving into a culinary time machine. Established in the 1990s, the restaurant began as a simple idea inspired by the abundant fresh produce and seafood in North Lake Tahoe. 

The founders believed in the power of locally sourced ingredients and the magic when transformed through expert culinary techniques.

The restaurant quickly gained recognition for fresh, fast poke bowls. With the B.Y.O.B (build your own bowl) approach, diners are given free rein in designing a perfect meal. 

There are plenty of options that translate into innumerable combinations for a symphony of flavors. And as they promise on their website, their poke bowls are "really flippin' good." 

Over the past few decades, Bluefish Restaurant has pioneered culinary trends while staying true to its roots. Today, it takes visitors on a journey where each dish is a flavorful and fresh creation.

Bluefish Restaurant has a friendly staff, a warm atmosphere, and a delectable menu. Whether it's a casual lunch with friends or a family dinner, Bluefish Restaurant promises an unforgettable dining experience.
