20 Best Seafood Restaurants near Arcata

“So yummy, fresh, and healthy tasting!!“

“My new favorite place in Arcata! EXCELLENT Happy Hour drinks and appetizer options, and recently they have also majorly expanded their entree options which was a very pleasant surprise when I went there for the first time in over a month. Love it!“

“APD has probably the best pizza in the Arcata/Eureka area, but check your pizza. I come and get a pizza here probably twice a month. I always order the same thing, half just cheese, half pepperoni and jalapeño, and more than half the time it comes out half pepperoni, half jalapeño. Then I have to wait for them to remake it. Not sure why that happens so often. But great pizza. Just be sure to check it.“

“Our server was fantastic We were seated at a small table in the middle of the room. We asked for something a little bigger and she found a terrific table where we could watch the sunset. Saturday night with no reservations and they were super accommodating. Our appetizer was delivered quick and hot. Our main courses was delicious. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Very friendly staff and the most amazing beef or chicken burgers! My ultimate favourite is Sasquatch Fries Mmmmmm so delicious 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 pretty hard to drive by without stopping 🙂“

“What an amazing experience top notch food and service“

“Fantastic seafood! I LOVE the clam chowder and bread bowl! A must try.⭐️“

“We got the grilled halibut tacos and the halibut fish and chips and the halibut tacos were great but don't get the grilled because the fried halibut from the fish and chips is outstanding and would send the tacos over the top being fried! Get the fried fish! And the fries are very good, taste like an old school McDonald's fry! The service was quick, 5 orders to go took maybe 10-15 minutes? Were not local but we will stop here again on our way through! Only minor complaint is the fish tacos for the price should get fries with it. The fish and chips is a good portion and super good crunch! Tacos just a little to small portion for the price! Excellent food tho highly recommend! They have specials too (see pictures). And the tar tar sauce is sssssooooooo gooooodddd!“

“Great view“

“So good! I could eat a bazillion of their oysters!“

“Great food at a great price I would recommend this place to everyone.“

“My wife and I have visited this restaurant several times. I love it. The staff was very kind to us the entire time that we were there. It did take it a little long to get our food due to how busy they were at the time. But it was worth the wait, and the scenery was quite excellent and relaxing. Do try the oyster shots!“

“If you're searching for authentic, mouth-watering Mexican cuisine in Eureka, look no further than Esmeralda's 2.0! This place is a local treasure, delivering flavors that will transport your taste buds straight to the heart of Mexico. ?

From their perfectly seasoned al pastor tacos to the massive, flavor-packed California Burritos, every bite is a celebration of taste. The $1 tacos are a steal and perfect for any occasion—whether you're hosting a party or just grabbing a quick bite. I can’t get enough of the grilled jalapeños and onions; they add the perfect kick!

What I love most is their consistency and speed—perfect for busy nights when you still want quality food. Although I wish they had indoor seating, the take-out experience is top-notch, and their staff always goes the extra mile to make sure your order is just right.

If you’re in Humboldt County, do yourself a favor and try Esmeralda's 2.0. I promise, it will quickly become your go-to spot for all things delicious and Mexican.“

“Just passing thru- excellent choice for lunch! Would stop again!!“

“Good food and good atmosphere. Never disappointed eating here.“

“SO fresh and delicious. I used to eat here more when I worked closer. Today I decided to order for delivery. Thank you for providing me with such an amazing meal during these crazy times! Best crab rangoons I’ve ever had. Spring rolls are so yummy. And the soup is amazing. 💓“

“Pacific Seafood, that's what the man said, then he said the fish is so fresh you might have to kill it yourself, so take a filet knife with you to jab into it's gills, and a stiff wire to run up it's spinal cord. Well, I followed the instructions to the tee, and got a salmon that was floppin around like a Kardashian in the back of a limo filled with men. MAN-O-MAN that salmon was Amazing! I took half of a side and smoked it to an internal temp of 135 ...and let me tell you...it was Spectacular! Being fresh is the key to any great fish meal, and Pacific Seafood does it Bigly! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Was going to review the food but then….
I just read this review and… I’m shaking my head, I am a local who’s been eating here for a long time and this honestly made me laugh out loud, not only am I a very dark skinned person but there is many dark skinned staff members at this restaurant so this comment comes off very unbelievable to me.
I have never been discriminated here and find everyone very kind, my waiter there was a young dark skinned girl and also like I said I am very dark skinned, so this is just laughable to me and not a review I would find accurate or helpful at all I also find it so odd that who ever wrote this review felt the need to state the skin color of the accused party maybe they are a bit colorist in there statement ??‍♀️

I believe this is a false and inaccurate review as a customer
xxx“We saw staff accuse a darker-skinned young woman of stealing tips after she took an unwanted fortune cookie off another table. Would rather take my money somewhere that doesn't discriminate.”

On another note I came here to say the food is good haven’t been let down yet just very full when I leave ?“

“The service and food were both excellent this evening! I was especially looking forward to a good ribeye steak, unfortunately due to a shipment mixup there were no ribeye. However, they upgraded my dinner to a mouth-watering filet at no charge. Needless to say, I was not disappointed! We also got the rack of lamb and the table-side ceaser salad. Everything was excellent, and I can't wait to come here again!“
