Bozeman Locals ‘Lent’ You Their Favorite Fish Dishes in Town
Skipping meat or just in the mood for seafood? Restaurants in the Bozeman area have come a long way when it comes to really good fish and seafood menu options.
Some are fancy, some are definitely not fancy. They just have to be delicious. So we put the call out to Bozeman folks for THEIR favorite fish dish. The suggestions run the gamut...and there are a few on here that I have yet to try, which is cool.
NOTE: Any details (such as locations, descriptions, prices, etc) about the suggestions below were accurate as of March, 2022. We gathered info from each business's website or social media.
These are fish dish suggestions from listeners, so some restaurants got more than one mention.
