Last November, we reported that California Fish Grill, a chain with approximately 50 restaurants in California and Arizona, signed on for its first Maryland location at 12238 Rockville Pike in Rockville’s Towne Plaza. We recently let you know that the restaurant is aiming for a fall opening and now we know that a $650K permit was approved for interior construction of the restaurant.
Coming soon signage was put up in the spring and California Fish Grill already had its liquor license hearing with Montgomery County ABS back in May. It will be located in the same Rockville shopping center as Tatte, which opened this past January. Maryland Newsletters reported the approval of the $650K permit and interior construction has recently begun with the hope of a fall opening.
Established in 1998, California Fish Grill is a counter-service restaurant that focuses on providing affordable yet sustainable seafood options. Renowned for its grilled seafood selection, the menu features a diverse array of offerings, including coastal tacos, hand-battered seafood dishes, chowder, salads, and plant-based alternatives.
The restaurant is committed to sustainability, serving seafood that is designated as Best Choice or Good Alternative by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch® program, or Eco-Certified by third-party organizations. CFG sources its seafood exclusively from reputable fisheries and farms that prioritize the health of ecosystems, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy high-quality seafood for years to come.
