ABOUT ROCKFISH PUBLIC HOUSE

Rockfish Public House is a fresh seafood restaurant located in historic downtown York, Pennsylvania. We source wild-caught and sustainably harvested and farmed seafood every day and feature that seafood in dishes with creative combinations of flavors.

Opened in 2016, Rockfish Public House is owned and operated by the White Rose Restaurant Group of York, Pennsylvania.
