PC mahi mahi and shrimp island tacos and a saladHot seafood restaurant will reel in food junkies

It seems as if the number of Asian fusion restaurants in the Bay Area keeps multiplying.

Pacific Catch in Campbell’s Pruneyard Shopping Center isn’t just your average “fresh fish grill.”

I assumed it was just another seafood restaurant until the waiter dropped off a plate of edamame beans and pretzel Goldfish crackers instead of the “usual” free bread and butter.

Pacific Catch’s menu is filled with a variety of items that range from fish and chips ($10-$14), sushi ($8.50-$12.50), sandwiches ($12), tacos ($12-$15) and rice bowls ($15-$19).

I ordered the two platter island tacos for $12, where you get to mix and match the type of meat you want.

The Mahi Mahi taco was delicious, but the Cabo shrimp taco was like love at first bite.

I’m a huge fan of island tacos because they aren’t heavy with rice and beans, but light, because they have cabbage in them.

The presentation of the food — large, wooden plates lined with a cookie sheet that had the image of a newspaper on it – was contemporary and fun.

My meal came with a choice of sweet potato, spicy, or regular fries, or a small salad.

I opted for the salad, thinking it would be a regular Caesar salad, but was pleasantly surprised to find edamame beans and sprouts in the mix with a tasty miso dressing.

For those of you with a sweet tooth, you’ll want to take a look at the dessert menu.

There were the expected items such as ice cream and a brownie sundae, but what I couldn’t take my eyes off of was the mochi fondue.

At $7, you get three pieces of mochi ice cream – chocolate, vanilla and coffee – with a warm chocolate dipping sauce and two chocolate Pocky cookies.

Mochi ice cream already hits the spot, but anything dipped into chocolate really seals the deal.

Another popular dessert is the fried dulce de leche spring rolls for $7, which comes with vanilla ice cream and is drizzled in caramel sauce.

An entree, small salad and dessert already had me stuffed, but if I had a chance to tackle the starters menu, I would’ve done it.

The list of starters was quite intriguing, with items like warm edamame ($4.50), Korean sticky ribs ($10), Baja shrimp ceviche ($8.50) and the Pacific regional soup of the day ($7).

Pacific Catch also serves meal sized salads ranging from $9.50-$14.50, and has a kids menu with friendly options such as chicken strips and coconut shrimp, both $7 each.

Another item I would be interested in trying is one of their popular pan-Asian rice bowls.

Each bowl is $15, and you get to choose between the Japanese wasabi, Thai curry, Korean barbeque or Hawaiian poke.

Each option has a small list of meat choices, and you can order any second fish or meat for only $4 more.

As you can tell, the items on Pacific Catch’s menu aren’t what you would normally see in most restaurants.

Overall, each regular entrée ranges from about $10-$20, which is a good deal for a seafood restaurant.

Pacific Catch’s casual, yet trendy, atmosphere brings in all types of customers whether it’s for lunch, happy hour or dinner.

This is the perfect restaurant for your seafood fix
