In 2016, Matthew Korfhage of Willamette Week said the rockfish "was some of the best fried fish I've had in town—a layer cake of fatty feeling with crisp and buttery breading around equally buttery fish. It evokes a sense of well-being that has history to it, lodged deep in the memory of anyone raised on trips to both Horse Brass and the coast. If you see the rockfish, or any other fish of the day, that's what you should order." He wrote: {{Blockquote|This is not fancy food, but it is the food that fishermen eat. It is also the food that they make for themselves out on the coast. And for one brief moment at the picnic tables, eating fish with one hand while pulling your jacket tight against the wind and rain with the other, you can fool yourself into thinking that's where you are.}}
