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 but is delicious and worth every penny.Husband had the first tacos and they too were yummy.

Fresh and delicious seafood.

Delicious but over priced. I ordered scallops, then forced to eat with pasta when I wanted rice. Okay, no problem. But, look at the be cost of the by spinach & garlic! Linguini also charged. Crazy!

I went here to pick up some special items to bring to a friend's home and was not disappointed. Their selection was very good and very fresh. In addition the counter staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Always fresh, always fabulous. We were lucky to get a made to order shrimp and crab platter Christmas Eve and it was not only gorgeous, but absolutely to die for delicious. Best seafood in town!

We have ordered New England style clam chowder at quite a few places, and Santa Monica Seafood is the best so far. We wanted to sit outside, and the guy who found a table for us outside is one of the best server/hosts ever. Our family of three will be back to try more seafood menu items.

I have been coming to Santa Monica seafood for years and am always satisfied with the meals. Recently I went to lunch with a friend and ordered the salmon bowl. I have eaten salmon hundreds of times. This was the BEST salmon meal I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. It was flaky, moist and seasoned to perfection. The sides served with the filet complimented it masterfully. I raved about the meal to my friend over and over. My mouth is watering thinking about it!

Casual atmosphere, healthy choices menu, friendly staffs and fairly priced menus.

My wife and I stopped in because we were starving and driving by we saw good activity. Didn't realize it was a fish store but really wanted to sit and eat. We had a light lunch which came quickly and was very fresh. We split a raw tuna app and crab louie salad. I enjoyed the salad more than the tuna.

Excellent variety of fresh fish! We stayed at a rental for the weekend and wanted to cook a seafood dinner at home. Found this place was open on Sunday when many other markets were closed. The level of freshness and range of options was top notch! People working were helpful in making a choice and suggesting cooking styles. Very glad to have stopped here, easily five stars all around.
