What People Are Saying About Malibu Fish & Seafood

The Scene – Never mind the no-frills ambience, snag a picnic table with a prime ocean view and gussy it up with a tablecloth, candles and B.Y.O.B. wine. A low-key crowd of wave-worn surfers, casual couples and penny-pinching families belly up to the counter to place their order, then kick back and enjoy the scenery. – – The Food – It's worth braving the weekend lines at this eatery/fish market, where nearly every type of seafood is grilled, steamed or fried. Most diners gorge themselves on deep-fried seafood plates, with a choice of batter-fried cod, shrimp, scallops,…

Fresh fish for less and you're right on the Pacific
by Profundoz
This place is no frills. It's just grilled or fried fish and shellfish. It has picnic tables with breathtaking panoramic ocean views. Get there just before sunset for a special treat. You can bring a table cloth and bottle of wine or just go natural. ;)
Most negative reviewers are not taking into consideration that this is not one of Malibu's expensive restaurants, it is a fish market that also cooks fish. Nothing fancy but it's all fresh and all good. if you want more salt and pepper in your clam chowder or on your fries than just shake some on people! Sheesh! I guess if these people don't really like Malibu fish & seafood than that leaves more room for us that do.
- Pros: Best Malibu ocean view for less $$ - with fresh seafood
- Cons: The business attests to the popularity. Be prepared to wait

Fresh seafood, casual atmosphere
by Socalfoodfreak
If you appreciate fresh seafood, you'll appreciate Malibu Seafood, if you want a fancy 5 star chef/restaurant go down the street. They are 1st a fish market, they sell fresh fish straight from the docks - order the fresh fish. That's why they're there. They started cooking the stuff they sell, then they give you a picnic table to eat it at. When the crab is in, buy it. It's grand. Their rice pilaf makes a great addition to the crab, the lobster. Just like the fancy restaurants, you can pick the lobster you want. I think people expect a 5 star chef because it's in malibu. Not here. It's a fish market. Understand that, you'll understand the appeal. It's good, fresh fish. It's that simple. That's why there's a line.
- Pros: Fresh seafood, a nice day in Malibu
- Cons: parking, uncomfortable picnic tables, get it yourself service

Average and overrated
by deadedatdeaddotdead
I can't for the life of me understand why this place has such a great reputation. The food is totally average & greasy seafood. The prices are high when compared to the portions & the lines are atrocious. This is just one of those places that gets a good reputation for no real reason & people just feel like they have to say it's good because everyone else thinks so. Totally average food with decent views of the ocean, if that's your thing.
- Pros: relaxed atmosphere
- Cons: the food and crowd
