The staff was helpful and told me they'll have new catches available on Friday. I went back Friday after work and there was a lot more items to choose from. The sea urchin was calling out to me so I had to buy two trays since one is never enough. I was hoping to get some cerviche too but it wouldn't be ready for another half hour. I also got the ahi tuna, coho salmon and California halibut. Everything was very fresh and delicious! This is definitely a great spot to get fresh seafood, especially if you don't want to wait until the Saturday market.

That said, we came in early in the morning and went to the breakfast bar first. The eggs, sausages, and various other choices were fresh, well-prepared, and very tasty. This is not a Vons market, and, as mentioned in other reviews, it's more of a blend of Whole Foods and a bit of Trader Joe's. I really appreciate that this is a family-owned establishment, and I don't mind paying a little more to support these businesses. It's becoming tiresome to see corporations and private equity firms taking over family businesses and jobs.

You don't need anything else but just a spoon or chopsticks since they're so delicate. Price: $18.95 + tax per sea urchin. As of April 2026. Also try the prepacked halibut ceviche $18.95/lb or ahi poke salad $25.95/lb. You can just get a small container for like $8. Parking is $3.50/hour on the main harbor, in front of the water. If you're lucky you can score free parking right before entering the lot.

We went specifically for fresh live uni, but unfortunately they did not get any in that day. So I would suggest calling first before heading over if you are very rigid in what you are ordering. The fresh uni is SO popular so best to double check first. However, if you do snag their fresh uni, it's more than $10 less than another place I won't mention on Stearns Wharf - that's a big win! We ended up getting a whole lot of cod to munch on instead. We got a whole pound's worth of smoked black cod - half candy flavored and half savory flavored for $32 with tax & tip. Absolutely loved them both and prices seemed great for such well flavored, fresh fish. We liked the candy a touch more than the savory but enjoyed both. Staff was pleasant enough, plus they have a bench outside that we sat at for a few minutes to eat. I'd love to go back in the future and try their acclaimed live uni~!

Super happy that we have a seafood city in the 805. I have been on the late train of checking this…read morespot out but finally made it in today for a grocery run. I'd been doing Instacart orders from them but first time physically inside this weekend to check them out. The inside was super super clean. Major points there! In the time I was shopping around they had plenty of staff working, floors being mopped and all of the aisles were well organized and pretty. This market is a pretty standard Asian goods focused grocery store. I found about 85% of what I wanted here. I wish they had a premium sushi section and some more Hawaiian imported goods (aside from juices and sauces) but otherwise I was able to find everything I was looking for. Their hot bar is also solid. A wide selection of items to pick and I felt the pricing was reasonable. Actually throughout the whole store the prices are good compared to other grocery stores right now. I had a full bag of items for $50, good luck elsewhere getting those kinds of prices. I didn't have too much of an interaction with the staff while there, but again, lots of people working and keeping this spot in tip top shape. Also the woman working the register who checked me out was very nice. A great supermarket and I'll definitely be back more often now since checking them out.

I've been to Seafood City multiple times, but one Saturday night was for their Late Night Madness…read moreevent. My friend and I arrived at 8pm, checked into the event with a free ticket she downloaded from another app (I unfortunately for got the name of the app). It was pretty busy already with folks enjoying the DJ's tunes, filipino food and overall vibes. I bought the traditional Halo halo dessert (see my pic) and it was decent. Through out the night there was free gifts, contests and lots of dancing. Overall fun family event to enjoy. Seafood City is located in a strip mall. Lots of free parking. I occasionally shop here for speciality asian items that I couldn't find at Island Pacific. Prices are a bit steeper here. Service is decent here, for both the food court and supermarket.

After having a wonderful experience at the Santa Barbara Fish Market in Santa Barbara, we decided…read moreto check out their sister location with a bigger sit down menu. With plenty of parking and plenty of patio and outdoor seating, we took a long time to go over their extensive menu. It's a pretty relaxed casual space. They provide counter service only. So order at the counter, pay, and they'll give you a number. They'll find you whether you're sitting inside or out. So many food options! And they sell so many wonderful refrigerated items beyond fresh seafood. So many pickle varieties! We finally settled on: * Ahi Poke Bowl $18.95 * Fried Soft Shell Crab Sandwich $18.95 - This was no joke of a soft shell crab sandwich. Loaded with coleslaw, butter lettuce, tomato, and pepperonicini, I love when you get a real sandwich that's just too big for your mouth. I did ask for a bit more jalapeño aioli as I like a wetter sandwich. It all sits nicely on a toasted brioche bun. * Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl $18.95 * Confit Tuna Melt $17.95 - This wasn't your average tuna melt with Fiscalini cheddar and Castelvetrao olive. This was pretty good. We enjoyed the food so much we returned the next day! * Spicy Salmon Poke Bowl $18.95 * New England Clam Chowder $6.95 cup - This was a pretty good tasting cup of chowder. * Crab Cake Sandwich $19.95 - This item was on the blackboard. It's a snow crab patty with pickled daikon and fire cracker aioli. It's normally served on a brioche bun, but I subbed with their sourdough instead. * Fish & Chips $19.95, with dirty fried +$3 - This fish is beyond huge! It's massive and definitely excellent for sharing! And it tastes great too! And it lays on a bed of dirty fries. Fish & Chips is the way to go here people! Overall, we had some great eats. I preferred their cooked options, but the poke bowls were popular with my family. They also had fresh uni available too both days we went.

He did not once welcome us so service could be better. We also ordered shrimp tacos as a to-go order and when we were going to eat them we realized we received fish tacos. We checked our receipt and saw he input fish tacos. We also ordered a side of clam chowder soup and their ceviche tostadas. The fish tacos were great quality. The fish was perfectly crisp and light. The corn tortillas tasted great and toppings were good. More lemon slices would have been better as well and some more tartar sauce. The ceviche tostada for a to-go order was packaged great. The avocado salsa and red salsa were delicious. The fish was fresh but the ceviche did need more lemon and more mango. The clam chowder was my personal favorite and everything that makes a good clam chowder was in this. They have great wholesale options as well and indoor/outdoor seating. Overall, our experience could have been better due to customer service lacking but I would recommend the clam chowder.

They were super helpful and helped us process it for free as well. Scaled, chopped, and cleaned the whole fish. We also got our favorite sweet spotted shrimp and ate it steamed and fresh. With the heads, we fried them and also made miso soup. Super tasty. For the halibut, make a simple mango chutney to pair with the grilled fish. You can also make fish tacos! Make sure to call them before hand to place large orders like this. Sometimes, it depends on what they catch each week so call ahead of time to find out what they caught. The market is pretty smelly and wet/dirty but that's what I expected. It's a fish market where boats and fisherman are coming in daily.

Interactions at…read moreboth the checkout and deli counter often feel rushed or disengaged, which makes routine shopping less pleasant than it should be. A friendlier, more attentive approach would go a long way. Product quality and freshness are also concerns. I've come across too many outdated or near-expired items still on the shelves. That makes it hard to find what you're buying and creates extra work double-checking dates. What's most frustrating is that this doesn't seem like a location issue. Other stores in smaller towns manage to run clean, well-stocked, and customer-friendly operations. I had hoped the expansion would address some of these problems, but things actually feel like they've declined. At this point, I often find it more worthwhile to make the drive to Ventura for a better shopping experience. It's unfortunate, because this store is the most convenient option locally and clearly fills an important role in the community. With better management focus on freshness, staff training, and overall consistency, it could be a much better store.
