So glad I got to try this place before leaving SB! It's a small local spot right by the harbor, and…read moreeverything looked so fresh and good. The two young staff members were super friendly too. I got a little bit of everything: ahi poke, salmon poke, crab, candied salmon, oysters and of course the sea urchin. Everything was really good, but the sea urchin was seriously on another level. I've had uni at a lot of different places, and this is hands down the best I've had so far. Totally worth the $22 each My husband and I literally couldn't stop thinking about it after we left, so we decided to bring our family back next weekend so they can try it too. I just wish they had clam chowder because I'm a huge fan lol. But maybe there's a reason they don't make it and just want to focus on what they do best. And honestly, I can't complain because the uni was that good! P.S. I forgot to mention they also have treats and meal toppers for dogs! I bought a bag of wild salmon for my dog, and he absolutely loves it. I guess he'll be getting something from here every time we stop by now

We'd heard about their fresh fish so this place was definitely on my wife's must visit list for our…read moretrip. I like the set up of this location compared to the Santa Barbara one. This one sits in a strip mall so there is plenty of free parking and seats to eat at. My wife was bummed that there was no more sea urchin to be bought when we pulled in at dinner time but the fried fish taco special was too good to pass up so we both ordered that, the kiddo got the grilled salmon plate, and we also got a bowl of clam chowder to share. All the food was delicious! The fish tacos were the way I like them- a big piece of fish with cabbage, a little pico de gallo, and a dollop of sauce- not too many overpowering flavors to let the fish be the star of the show. The clam chowder was creamy with plenty of clams, and the salmon plate had great salmon that was cooked nicely (still moist) and what was likely an entire avocado sliced up on the plate. Great food, we'd definitely come back!

Really enjoyed the fresh oysters here. The smallest, most expensive one (they had a few different ones that day so I tried one of each) was understandably the tastiest and creamiest of the bunch. The other ones were good too, and all of them had a salty brine on them. They also provided some lemon wedges, marinara (?) sauce, and hot sauce. The fried soft-shell crab burger was interesting to try once, not particularly my taste but if you like fried soft-shell crab it could be great for you. I would like to come back, especially for the fresh oysters. Hoping to try some other menu items next time.

I got there just after 6:30 and there were a few people waiting already. They hadn't finish setting up yet but it was still fairly quick. The uni was obviously very fresh and very good. They only had the purple ones, but I don't know the difference between the colors. A few people there on line actually worked in the industry and definitely knew their seafood and trade. Some interesting conversations as well. The guys there prefer to be paid in Venmo. I'm guessing they can only be paid in Venmo or cash, but I could be wrong. Overall, great experience and highly recommend.

Located at the Harbor, this pop up for local fisherman offers fresh caught seafood directly to consumers. It's located on the pier of the marina and when we were there, 4 vendors were available. My favorite, and the reason for this visit, was the fresh just caught UNI!! They have very reasonable prices for the fresh uni. After purchase, they crack them open open, you add in your condiments and enjoy! They had a few tables available. There were also some vendors with oysters, crabs and lobsters. I would have took them all home, except I wasn't going home for a few days. The beach is close so you can walk over and enjoy the waves. Parking at the Harbor is plentiful. Definitely recommended!

At the end of the pier is this wonderful fish market and when you walk in...you do not smell fish! I know this is funny but it's important because fish should not smell fishy when it's fresh and you can tell from looking at all of their products, they pride themselves in selling fresh fresh. Everything we saw as so good looking and daughter said she's coming back for fish! We bought some freeze dried salmon for the pups and I talked with a few of the local fishermen outside. I learned that California has salmon which I wasn't aware of! When we are back...I'm definitely making the trip and buying fish to cook!

Santa Barbara was having a heat wave and there did not seem to be AC indoors, so we sat outside. It's counter service, so you order at the counter and take your number to a table. My husband got a decent yuzu salmon poke bowl, which came with cucumber, jicama and avocado with your choice of base (white rice, brown rice or mixed greens). I ordered the Korean salmon tacos (2 for $15) topped with pickled cucumber slaw, kimchi aioli and a tasty sweet and spicy chili sauce. I wish there was a third taco, because I was still a little hungry afterwards. A little on the pricey side but a super chill place to eat.

I almost ordered a small charcuterie board for us to share but then thought it'd be too much food so I held off. The sandwiches were unique and not your typical tuna or turkey sandwiches. We were impressed with the taste and quality of the food in addition to the customer service. We ended up coming back a second time 30 minutes before they closed at 3pm. I got the tri-tip sandwich while my husband got the meatloaf sandwich. The owner even came out to meet all 3 of our Shih Tzu. We will definitely have to come back the next time we're in the area.

The service here is very quick and was not so busy when I went on a Saturday but business seemed steady. They only have outdoor seating which was great for the hot morning. There is a lot of shade there so you'll be safe from the sun.
