Sardine Can Restaurant in Vallejo

Crab Louie Salad at the Sardine Can


The wildly popular Sardine Can Restaurant is located at Vallejo's Marina, and is well know for seafood dishes and hosting live Jazz on Sundays. 

Cajun Fettucine. Sausage, chicken, prawns, bay scallops and shrimp in a slightly spicy tomato sauce. This same sauce is used in the next dish as well, punctuated with cayenne pepper, likely made with Louisiana Mirepoix, the "holy trinity" of onion, bell peppers and celery. The sauce is seasoned with a bit of salt, garlic and pepper. It is served hot over very soft fettucini noodles which readily absorb the flavors of the sauce and the surf and turf meats. Served with garlic toast.

Creole Scallops. Same tomato sauce as above, with noticeable chunks of the "Holy Trinity" Mirepoix, and the scallops were very tender and cooked perfectly. Served with garlic toast, brown rice (perfectly cooked) and zucchini strips cooked just enough so that they are tender, but they still have some bite to them, and lightly seasoned.

Crab Louie Salad. Fresh crab, cooked lightly, with egg, tomato, cucumber over lettuce with Louis sauce and lemon.

But perhaps best of all is the ambiance, with a seat next to the Vallejo Marina.
