Kingfish is a fun New Orleans/Southern focused restaurant in San Mateo. They had a location in San Francisco but that closed.. The place is prime draw for this sleepy suburb as it is around the corner from the Century Theaters and is one of the few places that stays open late. They focus on using organic, antibiotic & steroid-free meats.
The walls are filled with wild and colorful Southern Folk Art adding to a fun vibe.

Picks:
Steamed Mussels and Clams ($13) was quickly cooked on an induction plate in front of us. Lots of mussels and clams that tasted great. The sauce was really good, so load up on bread and dip your heart away. Consider ordering some rice to sop up this good stuff.
Scallop Appetizer ($13.95) came with two of the biggest scallops we’d ever had. Cooked pretty well with a nice carmelized coating. They sat on top of a black bean/ Yukon potato cakes. A pretty good dish.
Mojito Cubanito ($9.50) – A nice balanaced mojito drink with coconut accented liquor.
Pomergrante ($9.50) Anti-oxidants! Strong, Belevedere premium vodka, Pomegranate juice, hint of apple came with side extra container of more libation.
OK:
Samantha’s Cosmo ($9.50) – Skyy 90 premium vodka, Cointreau, cranberry, fresh squeezed lime juice was pretty weak, a foo foo drink classic.
Pans:

Service was above average and friendly. This is a good place for groups and those seeking a change from mundane suburb fare without driving to the city.
We were in for a late night snack so we did not sample may items. The prices here are fairly high, so we’d recommend a similar strategy to minimize the damage. Trying lunch or sticking with the more inexpensive sandwiches is also a good way to go.
