Reviews for Santa Monica Seafood (Market & Cafe) in Costa Mesa, CA

What I love about Santa Monica Seafood is the quality of their selection. My favorite there is the Chilean Sea Bass. I broiled... it at home and it turned out quite delicious. The staff at the market are very helpful so feel free to ask them how to prep thefish. Read more

Absolutely delicious. Very fresh selection of seafood. We had the tuna melt- not your typical open faced tuna melt. Served... closed, fresh tuna-light and fluffy on thick toasted white bread with a ceasar salad. Homemade Ceasars dressing. Reasonableprices. Good quality Chardonnay $12 oysters $3 Read more

We dined in here and everything is delicious and fresh. It's a market so the inside can get cold. Bring a jacket if you get cold... easily. Read more

Once again?they do not disappoint. We have been visiting the Santa Monica location since they opened at their current spot. $12... for cioppino was a winner in our book and we were hooked! First time here and we were delighted. Cioppino is no longer $12 butis delicious and worth every penny. Husband had the first tacos and they too were yummy. Read more

Not far from Newport Beach is Santa Monica Seafood, a little market and cafe serving up fresh fish and other seafood goodies. We... opted to start dinner with a dozen fresh oysters! Next up, we grab a big bowl of the crab bisque. It was creamy, with a hint ofsweet crab! For entrees, I got the tuna tartar while my husband got the fish and chips. The tuna was great, super fresh andflavorful. The fish was flaky but lacked much flavor or seasoning. We couldn't leave though without getting some steamed kingcrab legs, and these might have been the star of dinner. Read more
