Our Ambition

Since Wild Fish opened, growth has been steady and resilient. Unfortunately the restaurant cannot cope with the demand, turning away customers all year round, so expansion is a necessity. We feel it is a great problem to have, and would like to plan the next phase consistently with the mission of the business - the best we can! We are planning to open a second restaurant 2 miles away in the village of Mendocino, called Chafafa, an American Craft Food Restaurant, the name coming from a vintage jazz song, The Frim Fram Sauce. Our startup costs include several superior stand-out items: wood fired grill commercial hood commercial dehydrator artisan ice cream maker quality decorating of an old building. We have commissioned local farmers with raising heritage breed livestock for us, so we want to have the best kitchen equipment available to cook what we consider the best available produce. All edible credits can be used at both restaurants – either Wild Fish in Little River, or Chafafa in Mendocino, once it's open.
