50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Seal Beach

“Had the grilled fish sandwich. It was a nice piece of the catch of the day. It was grilled perfect. It was placed on a fresh roll with lettuce, tomato, onion and a very good sauce. It was served with fries. We upgraded it to truffle parmesean fries. They were delicious. Our server was very good. The food came quickly. We will go back!“

“Mahetini and their Old Fashioned drinks“

“Truly the most disgusting linguine and clams I’ve ever had. The clams and pasta were over cooked. On top of it all your menu listed every ingredient except the cream. I hate any dairy in my seafood. As do ALL. Italians. Most dissatisfied and disappointed. What do you expect from a seafood joint named “Walt’s”. Never again.“

“I had the best birthday dinner at Lalc! I had the Giant Sandwich loaded with Andouille sausage, brisket and pulled pork over slaw on a Ciabatta roll! It was soooo big I could only eat half! The Brussels spouts were amazing and the 5 cheese Mac and Cheese was the best we have ever had! 5 Star!!!! I must try!!!“

“My husband and I went to Patty's Place for our anniversary. We were thinking it was just your basic steak house. We were wrong. Nothing about Patty's is basic.I was shocked when we walked in. It has just enough elegance to enhance a cozy, and comfortable experience. The service was excellent and very friendly. Needless to say, the food was magnificent. I've never had side dishes be as delicious as the main meal. The potatoes and veggies were out of this world. ~ I can honestly say, " it was the best food I've ever eaten." This restaurant gets a 10 in my book.“

“Kristi, with a K, is the best.“

“I was able to meet such a great server name Pearl and she was such a breath of fresh air. Pearl is a great server that made my dinning in a great experience and she should get a raise for her professionalism, and positive energy that makes a difference in restaurant service.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious!“

“Heritage Restaurant, Long Beach – A Well-Earned Michelin Star by Michael Broderick. In a city where “Californian” culinary ambition often plays second fiddle to casual dining, Heritage in Long Beach has carved out a place of quiet excellence, earning a well-deserved Michelin star. This intimate dining experience is a testament to ingredient-driven, technique-forward cooking, where flavors are both restrained, unpretentious, and deeply expressive. From the first bite, it was clear that Heritage excels at layering textures and flavors in unexpected ways. The meal began with an Amuse Bouche trio: a delicate prawn cracker topped with sweet Dungeness crab, a green leaf with another seafood salad that was to be eaten like a mini street taco, and balanced with the brightness and light crunch of pickled turnip. A seemingly simple couple of bites, but one that foreshadowed the precision and thoughtfulness of the courses to follow. To cleanse the palate, a mint tea infused with palo santo was served—a meditative interlude that was both refreshing and aromatic, setting the stage for the evening’s journey. The first official course, Crème Caviar, featured Russian Sturgeon Heritage Caviar and chive, a chilled preparation that was rich yet elegantly restrained. This was followed by Kanpachi Crudo, presented with carrot, ginger, and macédoine vegetables, offering a balance of clean ocean flavors against bright, vegetal undertones. Then came what I consider the star of the evening: a dish that fully captured the ethos of Heritage—Hen of the Woods Mushroom, topped in a “sunchoke stew” (crispy fried sunchoke) with fermented mushroom. For an additional $25, an indulgent shaving of black truffle took the dish to another level, transforming it into a sensory experience that evoked the deep, earthy satisfaction of foraging. The interplay of umami-rich elements made this course a masterpiece of textural and flavor contrast. The proteins that followed were executed with equal care. First, a perfectly prepared Rainbow Trout, sauted to perfection with a crispy layer of skin on one side, delicate pink flesh on the other, bathed in a delicate dashi and punctuated with bursts of smoked trout roe in a light creme sauce, which lent salinity and depth. Then, a 32-day dry-aged rib chop, a cut that can sometimes lean too “gamey” in the tradiinal steak house that cuts corners on a post aging trim, yet here was a revelation—tender, deeply beefy, but balanced. Accompanying the dish was sous vide endive, black garlic, and a shaving of Parmesan, which surprisingly lacked the usual sharpness, instead presenting a more rounded, delicate, nutty flavor. Desserts were a study in technique and balance. The first, a Grilled Strawberry with strawberry granita and Meyer lemon crème, was bright and refreshing, its layers revealing different expressions of cool and sweetness. Then came the Coco Craquelin, a delicate choux pastry filled with beurre noisette ganache and banana cremeux, meant to be eaten with the hands—a playful and interactive moment in the meal. Finally, a Sage Basque Cake, its subtle herbaceousness complemented by toasted hemp seeds and lemon curd, provided a grounding, crispy finish. Heritage is the kind of restaurant that doesn’t simply chase trends—it refines them into something personal, something intentional. The execution is confident but never showy, and the experience is paced with precision, allowing each dish to tell its own story. This is not just a meal—it’s a quiet, profound meditation on flavor, technique, and the land from which it all comes. Where other restaurant profess to be a true “Californian” style farm to table experience , Heritage is, without a doubt, a must-visit for anyone who seeks out truly exceptional dining in California.“

“Lovely staff & great food.“

“Just visited the San Pedro location on Gaffey. I had the garlic shrimp - seriously delicious!!!“

“We drove 2 hours to meet friends driving down from LA. We all thought it well worth the effort. Food was really good, from fish and chips, Mahi Mahi and Chioppino. I would definitely go there again.“

“They have figured out the secret to great fish and chips. Cutest friendliest little husband and wife team. Always great and reasonably priced. Have been going for years.“

“I cannot get enough of this place. This is my favorite fish and chip spot in California. Their quality crispiness and taste is so much better than anything else I’ve had nearby and I’m not even a seafood person, yet I still find myself coming back here all the time. This place also has extremely reasonable prices, if you ever crave anything like this, you won’t be disappointed here“

“Had dinner there Friday night. Our server was Nadia. She was excellent. Gave great recommendations, was friendly and timely. The food was tasty, large portions and the perfect temp. Order the crème brûlée! SOOO GOOD“

“Always a great time here. Food is hearty and tasty. Great drink options and local music/DJs most nights.“

“We sat on nicely warmed outdoor patio watching the fun street scene pass us by. Creative options on the menu made it hard to choose. Exellent, beautifully presented wedge salad, seafood chowder and salmon were the winners. In the seafood chowder, at $18, we didn't expect a lot of seafood. It was more of a mushroom cream soup with delicious bread and some fish, which suited us fine. The salmon with couscous was perfectly prepared and a generous portion. The salad was also generous sized and creative. Service was excellent and non-intrusive. We parked right in front, free meter after 6 or 7pm. Fun to walk the area afterwards, see all the new places and Chapter II coffee which is open late and apparently turns into an alternative non-bar bar type scene with low lights and louder music. All in all, second street makes for a great date night.“

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“You may have a long wait, if you don't make a reservation, but it will be Well Worth the Wait Anyway!

“Came here for a business dinner and was seated outside on a beautiful evening. Started off with a mix of oysters and the Cevichos. Both were excellent. Then the 5 of us went different directions for our mains, but my Squid Ink Linguini was top notch! Our server this evening was Chase K. He did excellent and we would love to come back here. Really good restaurant!“

“I've only eaten Poki twice and both were from here. I instantly fell in love with it. close to work so I can pick it up on my lunch hour.“

“I don’t even live in the area and every time I come to SoCal to visit my friend I insist that we visit this place. Their catfish is my favorite. I love the fresh vegetables that comes with it and of course the dipping sauce. I can never get enough and the prices are always reasonable!“

We come here for family birthdays, special gatherings or even if we have that craving of authentic Chinese Cambodian flavors. If the restaurant doesn’t close even during holidays, it’s definitely a special place to visit! It’s always a big feast for big families and it’s worth it! Thanks Kelvin!!!!“

Can’t wait to go back☺️“

“Oh my ever lasting goodness 🙌🏽 this was the best food I've eaten in my 38 years of life let me tell you! I ordered the carne asada street tacos (4), fajita torta, pescado de cameron, and the fajita nachos...THERES SO MUCH FLAVOR in every single bite of every plate. For the shrimp and fish I just wish they gave more avocado, tortillas and lime but damn, it was so good I didnt think about it till I was done. I will forever make it a point to stop here.“

“This is good day alabaiba“

“best mariscos in long beach.“

“Shuladaaaaa,,, de comidaaaa…“

“This is where the truck drivers stop. If you want Fancy!, no seasoning on 22nd go for it on 22nd st. But if you want hole in the wall place that takes pride in their food well you found it. I used to work in kitchen detail. So I watch them naturally season my shrimp on first batch. If you do know about food poisoning tobacco ,salt and lime will disrupt it quick like vietnam.... or soap rope guys then u kanow. They were surprised with our group... the limes were a bit dry though.. we respected it by 47 minutes.. when they came through we got no food poisoning! because they do know how to handle raw oysters and then the fried fish , then the steamed shrimp... just bring a translator please it was cheap for us, have cash for tip.. be a 👨 don't be a 🐈‍⬛“

“It was over a decade ago but I still remember my first meal here. This is a locals long standing hole in the wall. Owner is a straight up american tale. He also makes a mean Clam Chowder. The only reason why I don't think it has more reviews is that it's location may seem out of the way for most. People make the trek to come here because the food is simple, hearty, memorable and as fresh as wild catch gets. It's probably the best seafood in all of LA. At the very least, it's worth trying out.“
