Newport Beach, CA  (RestaurantNews.com)  California Fish Grill, the West Coast’s fast casual leader in sustainable seafood with 60+ locations, is expanding its menu in a big way with a new lineup of Sustainable Protein Bowls boasting up to 56 grams of protein. Designed to meet a growing consumer demand for nutrient-rich, flavor-forward meals, the bowls showcase the brand’s commitment to 100% sustainable seafood, culinary diversity and accessible wellness. Each bowl features vibrant ingredients, craveable sauces and high-quality proteins, reinforcing California Fish Grill as a leader in health-conscious fast casual dining.

“Healthy, delicious protein has always been at the heart of what we do,” said Louie Jocson, Vice President of Food & Beverage at California Fish Grill. “We’re proud to keep that promise with our new Sustainable Protein Bowls, each one built around the bold, fresh flavors seafood naturally offers. From Cajun-spiced shrimp to marinated salmon, these bowls are crafted to be satisfying, wholesome, and accessible for every kind of appetite.”

Guests can now enjoy five new Sustainable Protein Bowls, each layered with bold, flavorful ingredients inspired by global cuisines and sustainable protein:

• Everything Protein Bowl (56g of protein): A powerhouse of flavor and fuel, featuring Cajun-spiced shrimp, grilled salmon, tender swai and juicy grilled chicken – all layered over fluffy white rice and hearty beans. Finished with diced tomato, a bold chili mix and fresh chopped parsley, this bowl is served with Roasted Tomatillo Salsa for the perfect kick.
• Wasabi Salmon Bowl (50g of protein): A bold, Japanese-inspired creation starring marinated salmon over white rice, drizzled with fragrant sesame oil and topped with a vibrant quinoa-edamame mix. Crushed wasabi peas bring a satisfying crunch, while red and green onions, sesame seeds, creamy wasabi aioli and teriyaki glaze tie it all together in a crave-worthy balance of heat and umami.
• Salmon Burrito Bowl (47g of protein): Cajun-marinated salmon tops white rice and hearty beans, paired with creamy sliced avocado, fresh tomato-cilantro mix and tangy pickled onions. A drizzle of signature cream sauce and a side of Roasted Tomatillo Salsa make this bowl rich, zesty and deeply satisfying.
• Dynamite Shrimp Bowl (31g of protein): Crispy shrimp tossed in spicy dynamite sauce brings the heat in this vibrant, flavor-packed bowl. Served over a colorful mix of red and green cabbage, fresh cilantro, green onions and juicy tomatoes, all finished with a savory sesame soy drizzle – it’s fiery and impossible to resist.
• Island Teriyaki Chicken Bowl (48g of protein): A tropical-inspired favorite featuring flame-grilled chicken over white rice, paired with crisp kaleslaw, roasted corn, tomatoes, sliced avocado and red and green onions. Finished with a double drizzle of teriyaki and dynamite sauces, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for the ultimate sweet-meets-savory bite.
