Bear Flag Fish Co.

Since our wedding a couple of weeks ago, the Englishman and I have been pretty busy.  We had family in town, various work obligations, and just trying to get back into the swing of things.  We finally had a few moments to catch our breath so we decided to go on a much overdue date to Bear Flag Fish Co. for dinner.

I started the evening out with a glass of wine, because why not.

The Englishman decided to go with the swordfish taco which he quickly devoured.

In addition to the fish taco, the Englishman ordered some clam chowder since it’s one of his favorites.

I was really glad we finally checked Bear Flag out!  The prices are definitely affordable, and the restaurant offers a lot of delicious items like fresh fish burritos, seafood bowls and a couple sushi rolls.  This is a definite return for me!
