Came here for King Salmon and Seabass. Both tasted amazing. Used the Seabass for my ceviche.

Mikey C.

How great is this place? It's the kind of place so special you don't want to ruin it by writing a Yelp review that causes everyone to stop buying the cruddy fish they sell at grocery stores and come here instead, causing you to wait in a long line only to find out that they're sold out of that local sea bass that you love. Fortunately, practically no one reads my stupid reviews so that's not something I even have to worry about. So I'm gonna just go ahead and tell you about this this wonderful fish shop. LOL! First off, let's talk about quality. The fish here is as fresh as it gets. Like straight off the boat fresh. They sell lots of locally caught fish, but they also have fish from far away. But whatever you choose it's always hella fresh. High quality fish like this isn't exactly inexpensive. Depending on what you are buying, it can get a little pricey up in here. But considering the freshness of the fish, that's to be expected. To help you stick to your budget, every Tuesday Ocean Pride takes $2 off everything in the case. And there's more than fish in the case. They also offer shrimp (omg that shrimp is good!) and scallops (the big meaty kind), as well as clams and mussels. Next to the case they have a huge saltwater tank with live lobsters. When I was a little kid, I was scared to death of lobsters. I was afraid they'd pinch my toes. That's why I never owned a pair of sandals when I was growing up. Now lobsters are scared of me. They always cower like little bitches in the corner of the tank when I walk in the store. Yeah, you better hide! Ocean Pride has a very nice selection of grocery items you might need to prepare your fish, including Ponzu sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, unagi sushi sauce, mirin, tonkatsu sauce, furikake, sesame seeds, pickled ginger and even salad dressing. They also sell tempura batter mix, as well as tea. They sell medium grain rice, too. I always buy my rice here. If you have a dog, you can buy your pup some nice salmon skin treats here too. Woof! Now, on top off all this, the customer service here is top notch. If you don't know what kind of fish to buy, or how to cook your purchase, don't worry. The man behind the counter will help you out. Just ask! His advice never fails. Ocean Pride has a loyalty program for repeat customers. You get your card punched every time you visit. I can't tell you what you get when your card is complete because I am constantly losing my damn card. I mean, I have been a customer here for over ten years and I've never managed to hold on to a damn card long enough to find out what the reward is. Another sweet thing about this place is they have a weekly email newsletter. You definitely want to sign up for the newsletter! Every week they highlight a different fish and share a couple recipes for it. Oh yeah, I should point out that they offer curbside service if you need that. And with a minimum purchase, they deliver, too ($50 minimum order for Oxnard and Ventura residents, $100 min order for those that live in Ojai and Camarillo). Mikey C says: I highly recommend Ocean Pride!

Fresh Fish

Have been wanting to check out this place for a while and I finally made my way there on a Sunday…read moreafternoon. They didn't have much left for sale after the Saturday Fisherman's Market. 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.

If you're longing to eat fresh sashimi or any type of seafood, come to Wild Local in Ventura Harbor…read morenext to Andria's Seafood Restaurant. Wild Local source their fishes from local fisherman in the area and allow you to watch them cut into pieces. They have all kinds: large shrimps, lobster, crabs, tuna, halibut, cods and many more. Tonight, I bought a pound and a half of Bluefin Tuna and cut into shashimi sized pieces, it's gloriously tasty and not fishy. The guy even gave me a lemon for my shashimi, what a neighborhood market. So, if you wanted to done on fresh seafood, come to the real fresh fish source and enjoy true seafood NOT frozen from thousands of miles away.

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.

For over 25 years, this spot has remained a "go to" in the community, and we love seeing these old school treasures continue to thrive. From the moment you walk in, you get those nostalgic, old-school vibes. Loved all of the decor and pictures of fisherman throughout the place. The service here was awesome. Super friendly and welcoming, and the gentleman at the register gave great recommendations. He knew the menu well and was able to help me out with some suggestions. Honestly, the menu is so extensive it was hard to choose, but here's what I went with: Fish & Chips (2 piece plate): 5/5. The batter was light yet perfectly crispy, not overly heavy, and the fish itself was fresh, flaky, and high quality. Paired with a solid tartar sauce, this is a must order dish. The French fries were classic and I loved their coleslaw. Grilled Thresher Shark Plate: 4.5/5. This one was a standout for me given how hard it is to find shark on menus nowadays. I actually grew up eating shark, so this felt super nostalgic. The staff highly recommended it, and I'm so glad I listened. The grilled shark was mild, tender, and full of flavor thanks to their delicious balsamic glaze marinade. If you've ever been curious about trying shark, this is the place to do it. I'll be back again for this soon. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying and the best part? It doesn't break the bank. Prices were reasonable and portions were generous. Definitely check them out if you haven't already, a great old school restaurant in Oxnard.

Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing because of the service. We were seated at a table without menus and left waiting for about 10 minutes, which felt like an eternity because the restaurant was extremely hot and there didn't seem to be any A/C running. Once someone finally came over, we ordered our drinks and the AYCE option. Our first round of food came out fairly quickly, but we weren't given any utensils, and our drinks didn't arrive until we were nearly finished with the first round. We ordered our second round as soon as our drinks arrived, but then waited another 40 minutes for the food. When we asked about it, our waitress seemed irritated and dismissive rather than apologetic or helpful. Because there is a posted 90-minute time limit for AYCE, by the time our second round arrived, we were understandably disappointed that we didn't have enough time to order a third round. The frustrating part is that the food itself was fresh and tasty. We really wanted to love this place, and it's unfortunate that the poor service overshadowed what could have been a great birthday dinner. We left with a bad taste--not because of the food, but because of the experience.
