My So Called Vegan Life

On our last night in San Francisco, we took the Bart downtown to Mission street.  I had first heard about the restaurant Weird Fish from different vegan blogs.  I had also been to their website and read a bunch of reviews.  Eric and I were very impressed with their menu because it’s so different, so we were so excited to check it out.  My in-laws were up for it, so away we went.  This ended up being an AMAZING dining experience.  I know it’s Eric’s favorite vegan place we’ve ever been, and I think it just might be mine too.  The atmosphere was fun, lively, and the staff were charming.  All around we just had such a lovely night.  Now, I must warn you, as I was warned as well.  There is a wait at Weird Fish, which is nothing but a good sign!  It’s SO worth waiting for.  We were there on a Thursday night around 8, and we had to wait about an hour.  They thoughtfully offered to take our cell number though, and recommended a great bar/pub around the corner.  We popped over to Elbo Room (spelled like that).  Like promised, they rang us when our table was ready.

These are Buffalo Girls.  This is the sole reason Eric was SO excited about Weird Fish.  They are seitan fried in a vegan batter with buffalo sauce and veganaise.  Yummy yummy yummy!  These would make a great last meal…if you ever needed one. 

These are Yo Yo’s.  They are fried dill pickles in a vegan batter.

Yummy mashed sweet potatoes made with coconut milk.  Our lovely waitress recommended these.

Spicy tortilla soup did not disappoint.

Hell fish Taco, grilled seitan with mango salsa, was my main course.

This was Eric’s main, Hellfish Fish and Chips.  It was fried seitan with slaw and fries (potato and sweet potato).  His was delish!

If you can’t tell from the pictures, everything was absolutely delicious.  We can’t wait to go back.  Californians are so lucky to be surrounded by such cool vegan, culinary options.
