    Clam Chowder. On my lunch break.
    Joselyn M.

    Food wasn't bad. I had ordered the clam chowder since I was craving it, & the Baja tacos... since it had been a min since I had fish tacos. I had it grilled, but maybe next time I'll try it fried. I would def add more sauce & Coleslaw. Maybe even more flavor as well. ;) Also, perfect spot to shop for your seafood!! Service was fair. Ambiance was ok. Small indoors, but more space in the back.

    When we were in Monterey for a conference I googled where do locals eat seafood and Sea Harvest popped up. It's a no frills seafood market and restaurant. You get in line, choose your seafood and the way you want it prepared. Grab a drink from the fridge and pay. Then find a seat either inside or outside. Wait for your buzzer to chime. I chose the bay scallops, fried. My husband got fish and chips. The portions are huge. And the prices are way less than cannery row. There's a small parking lot as well as street parking. The bathrooms are outside which was a little odd.

    On a calm Friday afternoon, my partner and I were in Monterey to check out the aquarium. Before we went in we were feeling a little hungry, so we decided to stop by Sea Harvest. We ordered the Combination and Chips. It was pretty delicious and I can't really complain about how everything was. Was it the best fish and chips I've ever had, no, but was it bad, no. The seafood was cooked well and the fries were solid as well.

    I was looking to avoid Cannery Row inflation prices and have a good fish and chips before heading back down south. The prices were a great deal and the fish for sale on display motivated me to get the combination platter which did not disappoint. Very fresh, comes out piping hot. Super succulent prawns and great cod and calamari strips. The coleslaw portion is comically small, but let's be real - who's here for the coleslaw? Great beer battered fries and the come with all the fixings - cocktail sauce, tartar, and malt vinegar. I love the mix of indoor and outdoor seating, all on nautical theme. Service was quick, not the most cheery and the cashier was on his phone a little bit, which is slightly unsanitary; but I got what came looking for.

    Baja fish tacos. Your choice of fried or grilled.

    Local fresh seafood, casual environment with a self service style. What more could you want? The food was fantastic. Mostly locals come here so you know it's good.

    I always heard that this place has the best fish and chips so I had to go try it out. Nice local spot, with great outdoor seating. Nice selection of seafood as well. The fish and chips was fresh, but nothing spectacular to me. I definitely has better seasoned fish and chips than this place. Service was a bit slow, 1 guy running the entire front and looks like 1 guy cooking in the back.

    Fresh and delicious seafood in a casual setting. We came in for dinner last night around 5:30pm and the dining room was already full (and we beat the line--by the time we were eating there was a line out the door). Lots of seating outside, but we didn't want to sit in the cold. We ordered a kids fish and chips, seafood pasta, combination seafood and chips, raw oysters, grilled scallops plate, and grilled rockfish plate. Everything surpassed my expectations. The oysters were so fresh and delicious! The fried items had a nice batter and didn't feel oily/greasy at all. The coleslaw, rice pilaf and fries were a great accompaniment to all the seafood. My scallops were a bit salty, but they were super succulent. The calamari was tender and the pasta had a ton of seafood and the cream sauce was fantastic. Servings were great too. Will definitely come back next time we're in the area.

    The gent behind the register was kind enough to try to personalize our order with garlic fries and doing fish + calamari (hold the shrimp since we were getting the cocktail). The order didn't come out just right but he really tried. They have a nice back patio with lots of picnic tables and umbrella ~ perfect for eating Al fresco on a beautiful afternoon!

    Prices Feb 2026 are higher than listed on yelp!

    Delicious and satisfying! Would recommend and come back to try the rockfish sando or share fish and chips. My friend and I enjoyed the fairly light batter on the fish & chips, homemade coleslaw (with raisins!), tangy tartar sauce, and crispy fries. I would get it again. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her clam chowder. I liked it enough, and I only tolerate higher-quality clam chowder, since I am not a big fan of clams. The ambience is casual, relaxing, cutely themed, and complete with merch area (seasonings, tartar sauce, plushies, stickers, and hats/shirts). It was pretty full by noon. There is limited parking right next to the restaurant. We found a great/ free 90-min spot just 1 block up foam st and slightly up the hill. A good spot for smaller parties or families for casual eating.

    Expected popping hot fried fish, shrimp and calamari, as well as fries. Fish , fries and shrimps were lukewarm, barely hot. Calamari was better. Coleslaw was mediocre. Was not impressed at all.

    Was craving fish and chips so I stopped by. This is a casual eatery with both indoor and outdoor seating. Grab a table and order at the front. They have a huge selection of fresh seafood to choose from in addition to their menu. The fish and chips was a classic, so delicious! A great meal to fill you up if you're craving some seafood while in Monterey

    Nice seafood spot! Fresh and plenty of seating. - Fish and chips : nice thin but crispy and flavorful batter. Fish was fresh, fries were also crispy! Comes with tartar sauce - calmari : very fresh and soft, not chewy. Wish it came with tentacle pieces. Had herb batter - fish tacos : chose fried - great portion and the coleslaw went so well with it! - clam chowder : very creamy, had a good amount of clams! A decent clam chowder!

    Quaint little place with in and outdoor dining. Thera is also a seafood market counter if you want to purchase something to cook at home. Did the sea bass and chowder bowl. Quick, good portion.

The place is also decorated nicely, which adds to the whole vibe. It's casual and fun without trying too hard. For the portion size you're getting, the value is solid. You're basically getting a meal that can feed multiple people. Good spot if you want something casual, shareable, and satisfying.

Spicy. 2-The burrito had no flavor and the rice was old ( you can tell was used from Previous days ). 3- cleanliness was awful .. the chairs were not stable , floors were dirty and that bathroom has seen better days for sure. That was my observation . Owners need to pay more attention of how fresh the food and the cleanliness of the place .

You can tell it's been a local favorite for decades--the hand-scrawled signs and slogans everywhere give it so much character. They've been around for 40 years! The Blackened Chicken sandwich is what they're famous for, and it lives up to the hype as I've been ordering it since middle school. It's got a solid kick, and that buttermilk garlic dressing they use is addictive. If you're leaning more toward the taqueria side, the Blackened Shrimp Tacos and the Steak Fajitas are the move. I also get the House Burrito a lot as it's one of their famous specialties. Everything feels fresh and grilled, not greasy, which is a nice change of pace. The service is fast and friendly and the portions are huge for the price. It's a small, no-frills spot inside, but they have plenty of seating and a steady stream of locals picking up takeout which is always a good sign. Every meal comes with chips and salsa! Pro tip: They're closed on Sundays, so make sure you get your fix during the week. Definitely the best spot in PG for a quick, high-quality lunch that won't break the bank.

I'm just letting those know who are planning to visit and planning on eating Authentic Mexican food this is not it. Service is fabulous and ambiance is very nice but food wise it's personally not for me. Canned sauce uncut chicken strips, ground beef and no real authentic flavoring is not authentic in my opinion I'm just giving my honest raw review but overall the employees seem happy customers are happy and this place good share of people eating in and picking up and I couldn't be more happy for the owners to have this working out because the restaurant business can be a brutal business and I give props to anyone starting one up let alone keeping one going for many years.

The food was okay. We were going more for some casual quick eats, so I ordered an al pastor taco and guacamole and chips. Al pastor is my preferred choice of meat so when the staff member also recommended the al pastor, I was totally looking forward to it. However it was a good 3.5 in flavor, contains pineapple, but they were definitely marinated with canned pineapple pieces. The cook and char on the pork was okay, it was tasty, but I've definitely had my share of fantastic tacos having lived in San Diego and Los Angeles. I really expected more from the guacamole because typically it's not that hard to mess up. Unfortunately it was bland, straight avocado with no sign of any spices, chile, onion, etc. and portion size was smaller in comparison with the amount of chips given. I even tried to add their spicy green salsa and lime wedge from my taco to it and those items couldn't even help the flavor profile. Chips were warm, but also lacked flavor, like salt as well. Decor was interesting and eclectic because it seemed they took over a previous asian restaurant and have not quite finished renovating or they are just choosing to keep that decor up. Service was good since we ordered to go. If I'm ever in the area again, willing to try other items and give this place another shot like the birria or something.
