Cowfish Dinner Menu

Cowfish’s menu is rich in specialties from both land and sea, and includes steaks, fresh fish, organic chicken, specialty pastas, salad entrees, and homemade soups and desserts, as well as nightly dinner specials.

All are prepared under the direct supervision of Chef Jeff Blackwell, previously the executive chef of the AAA four-diamond-rated Wild Sage Restaurant at Jackson’s Rusty Parrot Lodge and Spa. Highlights of the menu, which changes periodically throughout the year, include:

  • Fresh seafood that’s flown in regularly, including wild-caught sockeye salmon, blue crab and rainbow trout.
  • Burgers made from local beef cattle raised free of hormones and antibiotics by Wyoming Custom Meats.
  • Salads and entrees prepared with delicious, homegrown vegetables – including arugula, asparagus, broccolini, carrots, cherry tomatoes and butternut squash – from an onsite organic garden.
  • A line of specialty microbrews from the Lander Brewing Company that uses only the finest ingredients from around the world, and includes beers that have won national and international awards at the Great American Beer Festival, the World Beer Cup and other competitions.

The current menu, which is available Tuesday through Saturday nights, appears below. (A different menu, called the Brew Pub Menu, is available on Sunday and Monday nights.)

The dinner menu allows you to choose from Appetizers, Salads, Soups, Sandwiches, Cow Entrees, Seafood Entrees, Pig & Yard Bird Entrees, Bowl Entrees and Homemade Desserts. Cowfish signature dishes – the ones we are best known for – are indicated in red.
