29 Best Seafood Restaurants in Oxnard

“We just found this amazing eatery in Oxnard by chance. OMG, it was so good! I have been cursed with the capsaicin sensitivity gene, so I can't tolerate the"heat" 🥵 that many other ethnicities can handle in their customary cuisine... dang European ancestry 🫠😆, but I do enjoy things to have seasoning and not taste like cardboard. My husband loves the hot stuff and got it on the side. Too often I end up not being able to eat the food from most taquerias, even after explaining my issues, but not the case here, everything was awesome. The beans are flavorful, soft, & not hard nor mushy. The rice is cooked perfectly, so it was fluffy with a soft mouth feel without being mushy and not a single undercooked grain to break any teeth, as I find all too often. The herbs & veggies are very fresh. They also used red onions instead of white, which also added flavor without the heat that I was so grateful for. The plentiful asada was cooked fresh for your order, no heat lamp nuggets or brown bits here, and tasted great! We happened to just drop in for lunch, had a wonderful conversation with the staff and other customers, and totally enjoyed our excellent meal. They specialize in Ceviche, having won 1st place at the Ceviche Chow Down the last two years, '24 & '25, that's held yearly at the Olivas Adobe. The event raises funds for Mission FISH, a non-profit dedicated to providing fishing therapy trips for Veterans, Active Duty Military, First Responders, and Gold Star Families. Proceeds this year were to support “Operation Anacapa 2025,” Mission FISH’s 10th annual fishing trip that gives over 100 heroes a day of Fishing, Interacting, Sharing & Healing. Great people and excellent food! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!“

“Fantastic staff, fantastic food and fantastic decor. My favorite!“

“I found this shop scanning GMaps. But as I was driving thru an industrial park I began to think they led me off course. So it’s where they do most of the mongering but they have a little shop that serves most of the people in the industrial parks and vicinity. It was funny, they called me out for it lol.

But the girl was super nice and helpful and led me to the Fish Tacos. Well worth it. Light bread in, good crisp and flavor. I would def come back but it’s a lunch spot for the locals. Don’t let that scare you away.“

“If you're craving delicious food, this is the place to be. They offer a wide variety of fresh seafood and fast, friendly service. All the tables are outdoors, so if you prefer dining inside, this might not be for you. But if you want tasty dishes, full of natural flavors without heavy seasoning, definitely stop by. Afterwards, you can take a relaxing stroll along the waterfront and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.“

“My favorite spot in oxnard!! We make a point to try new things on the menu often because everything is so good!! Full of flavor and super fresh ingredients. The tacos are by far my favorite but the fresh made empenadas are a close second!! Everything's made fresh to order so it's hot and delicious! The owner is also super nice. Great spot.“

“Wonderful food at a gorgeous venue. Some of the better seafood in the area. Not to mention situated directly on the harbor. I've had dishes here blackened, grilled and fried and they always come out cooked perfectly. Decently quick service too, especially considering the traffic.“

“The absolute best carnitas I’ve ever had. We lived in Mexico for 15 years and ate plenty of carnitas but these are better than any we had there. Tortillas are made on the spot. Portions were big. Service was excellent. Best thing to say about a restaurant… can’t wait to go back.“

“Wow! Wow! What can I not say about the dishes? EL 30 Mariscos delivered. They served fresh roasted salsa, ceviche, and chips. To many favorite dishes to list. Check out the pictures and see for yourself!!!

When in Ventura this is a most...“

“I enjoy the Boiled shrimp, Cajun sausage and corn on the cob.“

“This is obviously one of the coolest place to eat in the region. Anytime I come to this place I am deeply happy. They maintain their high level service and the topmost level of cooking they provide. You always win with this restaurant. Very recommended.“

“Moved to Vegas 25 years ago. Miss 3 things about Oxnard - Family, the beach and Otani’s. Been fortunate to eat in some of the best restaurants in the U.S. I would choose Otani’s Fried Teriyaki Snapper with double rice over any other meal that’s out there. Otani’s was a staple for me growing up and had the fortune of knowing the family. Crave it constantly and go there every day whenever I make it back to town.“

“We came to Santa Barbara for the long weekend, but our car broke down and we got in pretty late. We tried ordering through DoorDash, but delivery wasn’t available since we were about 30 minutes from the restaurant. We called and explained what happened— and they went above and beyond. They delivered the food themselves, didn’t charge us for delivery, and it arrived hot. Truly couldn’t have asked for more. Seriously, a great restaurant.“

“rmuy buena atencion...SIEMPRE QUE VENIMOS A OXNAR VENIMOS A DISFRUTAR AQUI .....DESDE LOS ANGELES CA.“

“Delicious and service is awesome 👏🏻“

“gd food first time here. visitor to cali. would come back 🙂“

“Highly recommend! I ordered uni (sea urchin) and otoro. They were excellent: fresh, rich, and high quality, with no off taste or smell even without any extra preparation. The staff were friendly, and pickup was smooth and quick. The uni also came in a beautiful wooden box. I’ll definitely try other kinds next time!“

“I only got to try them recently due to DoorDash and I have to say I like them way better than the snooty ones at Seafood. Their section is smaller but they are so generous with their portions. There's usually 2 ladies that work behind the counter and they know how to handle orders from the app, updating new items and removing those that are out vs the ones at Seafood are so dang clueless that they usually end up cancelling my orders. I do take my time to pickup the food so I know it'll be ready when I get there. I have returned countless times now, almost at a weekly basis, trying out different dishes and all have been delicious so far. The folks are friendly and take great care of packing the food ❤️“

“Best clam chowder soup 😋 great service , fast and more like casual dining but excellent food, great crispy fish, good seafood.“

“La Vero’s is a must visit!
Everything from the fresh chips and salsa to the entrées and drinks—was absolutely delicious. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the drinks are perfectly made. You can really taste the love in every dish.

Special recognition to Nubia, who made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, and honestly one of the best servers we’ve ever had. 😁“

“Exelente servicio . Todos muy amables y la comida riquisima 100% recommendados 👌“

“I try not to visit the big brand name juice places because there are lots of little ones that need attention. This is one of those small places play finally visited and I am glad I did. We have more than just juices here, but I settled for the mango papaya large size, but I should have settled for something smaller. It was too much for me but I did like it a lot. Service was good.“
