Santa Monica Seafood (Market & Cafe) in Costa Mesa

Santa Monica seafood is a trusted seafood place where you can buy fresh fish to make at home. I enjoy their fresh tuna for poke bowls. Also, you can sit and enjoy drinks and lunch. I ordered the tuna sandwich was really nice however had a little too much butter when they grill their bread. Also, keep in mind it does get busy around lunch time especially on the weekends.

Terrific place for amazing seafood. Both the market and restaurant have a myriad of fresh options. Sit at the bar and enjoy some oysters and a beer...the service was fantastic. Cant wait to return to pick up some ahi

My first time in here last night. Fish and chips were so good. Very fresh fish and seafood bar.Service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Nothing special about the restaurant. Ordered linguine with clams and it was bland. Steamed clams had sand. Caesar salad was ordinary. Fish chowder was good. Had lots of fish.

Go for happy hour, which is 7 days a week! Chowder fries are dank. Deep fried cod fish taco was bomb. Desserts were excellent. Service on point. All around great dining experience!

First time visiting. Very nice area. Friendly staff. Congor was amazing!! Thank you for being so patient. You single handedly made our experience a 5 star experience.

Love this place! Been coming here for years. The highest quality seafood you can buy. They supply many of the restaurants you eat at as well. I love coming here for the happy hour as well. So many great oyster choices and I love the deli case they have to with all the other great options as well.

Halibut was delicious. My kids loved their fish and chips, and I loved there left overs. Fish was awesome!

I had never been to this establishment and wanted some fresh fish . The waitress at the front desk was very friendly and recommended items from the menu . She told me were to go for takeout orders . I when to registers to place my order. No one acknowledgment me or spoke to me for 5 minutes. So, I went to deli section to look at some fresh fish that I could cook myself . I received service and went to register to pay . I was standing there for another 4 minutes to be acknowledged to pay . Meanwhile there were several employees ignoring me helping other while assisting other customers. Which I understand that part . But they could have acknowledged me . I was the only person standing there at the register to pay .The manager saw me and never said anything. Once one of the associates was done, she saw me there and waited on a white man who had come I just come in and started to ring him up . I said to her that I was hear first for more than 5 minutes waiting for service . She was rude and said ok I’ll get to you after him . I left the food at the register and walked out . I will never go back to this restaurant because this is a racist business . I am a black woman who was treated like I didn’t exist by the white and Hispanic employees.

Absolutely delicious. Very fresh selection of seafood. We had the tuna melt- not your typical open faced tuna melt. Served closed, fresh tuna-light and fluffy on thick toasted white bread with a ceasar salad. Homemade Ceasars dressing. Reasonable prices. Good quality Chardonnay $12 oysters $3
