Former Fourth & Sea Fish & Chips

Developed

Former Fourth & Sea Fish & Chips, a vacant property in downtown Petaluma

This 9,000 square foot parcel has most recently been home to the iconic fish and chips joint, “Fourth and C”. The drive-in style restaurant was built in 1950 and was a Foster’s Freeze before it became Fourth and Sea. The restaurant took a blow during the COVID-19 shutdown and has been vacant since May 2020. In 2025 it was assessed for $316,988, generating only about $419 per year in property tax for the City.*

We understand that the local family who owns this property has not been willing to make improvements to the property that would entice a tenant to take it over. But in some good news, we’ve heard a credible rumor that an area restauranteur in looking at leasing the property.
