Fishbone Seafood Thousand Oaks - Thousand Oaks (CA)

1 /5 Joan: I was super excited for this place to open because the Fishbone in the valley is delicious. Clearly this is under different ownership, or is some sort of a franchise, because the two locations could not be more different. One of the best things about the valley location is the remoulade sauce which is the best Ive ever had. This place serves some sort of mayonnaise-y goo with zero flavor. Everything we ate was bad. The po-boy was short on shrimp, had unripe tomato and mixed salad greens on it, instead of iceberg, and the bread was squishy. The red beans and rice were burned, dry and flavorless. The catfish plate was served with three tiny pieces of catfish that tasted like dirt, for nearly $20. The potato salad with sweet. Bleach. The french fries were overcooked and under seasoned and dry. We spent $71 on terrible food and we will not be back.

5 /5 Stephanie Palenik: I stopped in after discovering my usual haunt was closed for the holidays (I assume), and I was bot disappointed. The service was friendly, and my grilled salmon lunch was cooked to perfection. I will be back!

1 /5 mobile email: I was excited to see a fish place in the valley (TO) and unfortunately was very disappointed by this place. When I walked in my gut told me to not order from here just seeing the people and vibe of them, but I didnt listen. To start the energy and customer service is not very inviting and very lack luster for this to be a new place with absolutely NO customers inside. The food took way longer then most places and I saw a lady microwaving a few times so I wasnt surprised when my side orders were dry and tasted like they had been left out for hrs and reheated. Fish was fried right then but it was tiny pieces even though I was told they are nice med size. Tased like something anyone can throw together at home and would not pay $$ for the taste of the food here. WORST Part of all, I ordered a side of red beans and rice and I get home open it to find out I have red beans rice and TURKEY, cooked in turkey juice..I dont eat meat. Strict pescatarian since childhood and so Im glad I saw that huge piece of meat and called about it. They lady finally apologized after saying I would gotta sick if I ate this and she had nothing else to say, which is why Im definitely leaving my negative review! Wouldve been nice to say " so sorry our menu isnt clear about adding meat but I will give you a credit for something else or remake without turkey etc" Even though you cant pay me to eat the food there again. No nothing, just unfriendly attitudes there. Not Americans. Mostly, I want to warn other pescatarians seeking seafood only...that they cook with turkey and who knows what else at this seafood place. Doubt it will last in thousand oaks very long.

5 /5 David G: Fish Bone Restaurant 2709 e. Thousand Oaks Blvd. Stopped in today to check out this new fish restaurant. I was not disappointed. I usually have my fish grilled or broiled, but I decided to get it fried today. And, as long as I was throwing caution to the wind, I ordered the hush puppies and red beans and rice as well. Everything was delicious and well presented. My Wife ordered the fried shrimp dinner with Cole slaw and french fries. I tried the shrimp, which are jumbo size, delicious, the fries were tender inside and slightly crispy outside, and there were plenty to share. She loved the cole slaw as well. The dinners come with 2 sides and a dinner roll. I will be going back because I had the red snapper today, but I am anxious to try the catfish and salmon ( fish can be fried or grilled) and the collard greens, which are cooked with smoked turkey instead of smoked pork. They have combo plates and family meal deals too. Oh, and I havent tried them yet, but they have fresh baked peach cobbler, sweet potato pie , red velvet cake and chocolate cake . The restaurant is small, a few tables inside and a couple outside, and they also do takeout. Everything was neat and clean, even the restroom. Fish Bone, I welcome you to Thousand Oaks CA!

5 /5 Ron Hirsty: Just saw this place. I had the blackened rockfish and felt it was quite good. There isn’t another place with this type of food. Yes fast food / take out but good quality well prepared fish. I will return here.
