This is a high-quality seafood market and restaurant in Santa Monica. They also carry a small selection of vegetables, seasonings, and flowers. The variety of fish, clams, other seafood, and deli items is impressive, and everything is always fresh. The deli items, such as calamari salad, Hawaiian ahi poke, and pickled herring, are especially recommended.
The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are very attentive.

It was really busy, and it's easy to see why.
The counter sales for take-home items were huge and always selling well during our visit.
The table service was fantastic. We enjoyed oyster samplers with six different types of oysters and crab legs, which were a special delight. Other dishes included seared scallops on a bed of spinach and mashed potatoes, as well as fish and chips.
They had a great selection of wine and beer that perfectly matched the amazing seafood experience.
