MEET THE CREW

Gary Andrew

“Occasional Dishwasher”
Owner

I’ve lived in Boise my whole life, but in April 2021, a visit to a little seafood spot tucked in a strip mall changed everything. My wife and I met founder David Bassiri, who had turned a fish market into a restaurant back in 1996. After 25 years, he was ready to retire — and two weeks later, I was the new owner of Fresh Off the Hook Seafood.

I promised David I wouldn’t change the menu or the experience our regulars love. Come check out our “Wall of Fame,” enjoy Idaho’s best seafood, and see why so many people get hooked after just one visit.

Ali Whipple

“Captain Whipple”
General Manager

I’ve been at Fresh Off the Hook since 2016 — longer than the owner! Whether I’ve served you as a new guest or as one of our regulars, I hope I’ve made a lasting impression. A few days a week, you’ll also find me in the kitchen as Head Cook, creating daily specials I hope will “hook” you into coming back.


Outside of work, I’m chasing my two wild toddlers, dogs, and cat, or taking my girls fishing and camping (if they can get dirty, they’re happy). If you see me in the restaurant, don’t be shy — just say, “Hi, Ali.”

We're famous

We’ve proudly been awarded Boise Best Seafood Restaurant 11 years in a row – as well as Idaho’s Statewide Winner

My wife and I heard good things about their fish and chips. Had to try it. Was not disappointed. Absolutely great, and the atmosphere was awesome.

Asked a local for a good place to get some lunch and was recommended Fresh off the Hook. Just moved here from Alaska and this place is legit! Get the Halibut tacos! Super cool little place!

Cute and clean. Amazing food, and staff was excellent. Haven't had seafood for awhile, and this did not disappoint. We got apps, entrees and dessert and left totally hooked!

What is the secret to our longevity and success?

“Hire talented chefs and genuine servers and an amazing General Manager. Provide them with all the equipment, tools, and support they need to showcase their talents….. and then get out of their way! We are not really in the food industry, we are in a people industry.

If you take care of the staff, then the food and service will always take care of itself. It helps of course to already have an award winning menu that has not changed in almost 30 years! I appreciate my staff, I enjoy this restaurant, I love this community, and our customers can tell.”
