I've eaten here many times over the years and I've never left a review...wow! So here goes. This to me is the "new Phil's " if you know you know. Lots of great seating most with decent views of the harbor. The food is good, never had a bad meal or experience here. Service is better since they switched to order at the counter, take your buzzer and pick up your food style...like "Phil's. Took a friend for lunch and she loved it. Last words...fish and chips. read more

Great Seafood restaurant with a view of the Elkhorn Slough in Moss Landing. Service was friendly and was happy to answer our questions. I had some minor issues, however all the actual seafood was cooked perfectly and very tasty. My main dish was Rockfish From The Grill. My fish was perfectly cooked. I got my rockfish with cajin seasoning and it had such a great taste with the seasoning. My rice also was very tasty. I wasn't to impressed with the vegetables. They were well cooked but with no seasoning and just kind of there. The Calamari basket was so good. The calamari was perfectly fried. I would have liked an additional sauce. The prawn cocktail could have also used more cocktail sauce. Overall I had a great dining experience. read more

Was nice to pop in here after a tour of the Elkland Slough Hubs had the blackened rockfish plate with rice and vegetables- he loved everything but the vegetables that were not cared for by flavor before someone through them on the plate. Please season the vegetables if you are gonna serve them. I had a rock fish taco both Baja and grilled and a shrimp taco- in general they were good but could have used more sauce. Shrimp cocktail was good but weird- barely any sauce at the bottom of an ice cream glass with lettuce and tons of little shrimp- they use the word prawn lots but it's all shrimp. Flavor was good here.... Just oddly constructed. Calamari basket 10/10 I would have ordered another one, it was so so good! read more

Excellent!! Great location on the water. Order at counter and they buzz you when ready for pickup. Tried clam chowder and combination fish tacos. Clam chowder was hot, thick, but lacked some flavor. Still good and would get it again. Combination fish tacos were excellent. Fresh, seasoned well. But the actual portions of fish were small and quite expensive. read more

This is a great place to dine after kayaking through the Elkhorn Slough. After putting away your gear, head in and place your order. They will give you a beeper then you go about finding a table either inside or out on their expansive deck. Service is great and friendly. If you need ice for your drink, get one of the cups near the water dispenser and head back to the cashier/ordering area. The decor is inviting and unassuming. They have good variety of grilled and fried seafood for you to choose from. They even have a small souvenir area where you can purchase a stuffed otter to remember your time there. read more

Sea Harvest - 4x Fish Tacos - Mix & Match - Seafood Near Me - Moss Landing, California

So easy to go on a SEA FOOD diet here! We were recommended this spot by our rental car attendant in SFO, and this spot was definitely worth the hype! They specialize in freshly fried fish and seafood, and we had to order their signature fish and chips, which are made from local rockfish, and come with fries and coleslaw. Despite already eating a large lunch prior, we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious and perfectly fried the fish was, and how generous the portions were (especially at only $16), and we were lowkey planning on stopping by again the next day to try more of their menu! Highly recommend stopping by one of their Moss Landing or Pacific Grove locations for comfort, freshly fried seafood at very affordable prices! read more

This place has awesome atmosphere. The people are super nice and everybody looks like locals. The views are amazing everywhere you look. From outside, it looks like a fish warehouse. I just love everything about it. Staff was knowledgeable and attentive and kind. They even have kids food! Oh, and they're dog friendly! read more

Sea Harvest at sunset is such a treat. It is one of my favorite patios on the Monterey Bay! I got the 1/2 prawns and chips today and it was perfect. That and a drink for like 12 bucks is such a steal. The food was wonderfully crispy and the prawns were fresh. The cocktail sauce and ranch were on point too! Everything was ready quickly and the waitress who took my order was accommodating. I love how relaxed it is, but I would happily pay double for that view! read more

My favorite place for seafood and otter encounters! We love parking by the beach and walking along the coast / up the trail to get here. Nothing better than getting your steps in on the way to get garlic fries! Easy to order and the line always moves quickly, it can feel packed sometimes but the wait is never more than 5 minutes. Plenty of tables and heaters on the patio that overlooks the harbor. Highly recommend stopping by anytime you're in the area!! read more

A friend recommended this spot to us, and it did not disappoint! The menu is straightforward with great prices, and the staff up front are incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's a casual setup where you order at the counter and pick your own seat--they have a great mix of indoor, outdoor, and window seating. The food is consistently fresh every single time we visit. This has quickly become our go-to spot, and we love that the staff already recognizes us! They never disappoint, and I highly recommend giving them a try. Plus, it's a huge bonus that they sell fresh dog treats packaged right from the Sea Harvest plant! read more

There aren't very many dining options in Moss Landing, and Sea Harvest appeared to be a solid spot for dinner when staying in the area and wanting something near by. The location and the views are definitely the star of the show here - you cannot beat the water views and the vibes at sunset. You may also get lucky and see local wildlife! I saw an otter out in the water and an egret as I walked in. The staff were friendly - you order at the counter and seat yourself. It was a cold night so I chose a spot in their green house like area instead of the exposed patio, which was nice as I could still appreciate the views. I ordered the mixture of fish and chips, which also came with calamari and shrimp, as well as a cup of clam chowder. The chowder was very creamy and chunky but I wouldn't necessarily say it had many clams. It hit the spot though and I would get it again. The fish, however, which was halibut, was unfortunately not good at all - it was quite dry/overcooked inside and very disappointing. The shrimp and calamari however were very good and I really enjoyed those. The fries were okay - not bad but nothing special. Overall, it was a decent meal and I enjoyed the views but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go there had I not been in the area given the disappointment of the fish, which felt like the one item on the menu that should be perfectly executed. read more

I was craving fish and chips after our exciting whale watching tour and found Sea Harvest right down the street. I ordered the combo with garlic fries, my SO ordered the sablefish with rice and veggies, and we also got two BBQ oysters to round out the meal. The sablefish, rice and veggies plate was cooked to perfection! The fish was buttery, moist and just needed a squeeze of lemon and a dash of salt. The veggies were nicely cooked al dente. Sadly, the reason why we came (the fried fish, which that day was halibut) was overcooked and dry. It looked and tasted like a white meat chicken tender. So disappointing. I'm glad I opted for the combo because the fried calamari and fried shrimp were delicious! The garlic fries were also good and well worth the $1 up charge. BBQ oysters were meaty and topped with raw garlic which gave it quite the punch. Fast casual, they give you a beeper and you pickup when ready. Indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas overlooking the water. They have every condiment you can imagine to go with your meal at every table too. read more

My husband and I finally had the chance to try this place since our boys--both allergic to seafood--weren't with us this time. When we arrived around 6 p.m. on a Friday, only a few tables were occupied, which was nice. I grabbed a menu and headed to the counter, but since there was no line, I decided to just ask for their specialty instead of reading through. The staff recommended the Cioppino, so I went with that and added an order of Calamari. My husband chose a small cup of Clam Chowder. Our total came to $49 for the three items. I wanted to sit outside, but the evening chill was setting in, so we took a cozy table inside by the window--perfect for enjoying the sunset view. Our food came out in under 10 minutes, which was impressive. The Clam Chowder was a bit salty for my taste and felt like it was missing something, but the Calamari was spot on--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious! The Cioppino hit the spot and fully satisfied my seafood cravings. The broth was flavorful, and dipping the grilled sourdough bread in it made it even better. We were so full that we couldn't finish the Calamari and took the rest to go. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience, and we'll definitely stop by again the next time we're near Moss Landing. read more

Eeeegh. $5 for a fish taco - I got two, one with shrimp and one with rockfish. The shrimp taco was literally two shrimp - and they don't doube-tortilla them, so it fell apart after one bite and was a mess. Ooop. I also got a cup of clam chowder, which was enjoyable. But I can't get over two small shrimp for a $5 fish taco. read more

Great food, excellent views. The chowder was fresh, the bread bowl was generously sized and the fish and chips were absolutely perfect. Fish was very fresh, crispy breading and just enough seasoning to keep the gentle fresh fish flavor. The only drawback was the coleslaw, it was drab. I'd suggest adding just a bit of grated onion to give it character. Service was great. read more

The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors to have a better feel of the breeze. The staff were nice and helpful. Tacos were good and the fish was fresh and flaky. Fried oyster had a crunchy batter and tender meat. I did not like the clam chowder... it started very creamy and a little clampy then towards the end became watery... i am unsure how they heat or reheat it, but this is first for me. It also has a lot of potatoes and little clam, and the clam in there was very chewy. read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Came here after a long day of kayaking. Honestly this place hit the spottt! Everything on their menu tasted amazing and everything was fresh. I would definitely come back here. They have a very cute outdoor patio near the sea that you could enjoy your food at. Calamari Basket: 5/5 I don't know what they put on this calamari but the seasoning they use tastes fabulousss! The sauce that came with the calamari complemented it really well. I also added some lemon in the sauce and it went perfectly with the calamari. I would LOVEEE to order this again. Rockfish Tacos: 5/5 YUMMY! Rockfish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. 100% would order again. Shrimp Tacos: 5/5 DELICIOUS! Had to get two of these because I knew that I was going to like it. Garlic Fries: 4/5 Perfectly fried and yummy :) but not the best that I've had. Baja Tacos: 3/5 A little on the dryer side... but still ok. read more

I've been here twice now and both twice I got the fish tacos. I think they're delicious. Great flavor. The first visit they were out of chowder but I got to try it on the second visit. It was okay. Texture was good but too many potatoes and not enough clams. Plus the flavor was just okay. I've tried a lot of chowder in the Bay Area and so I can say it's nothing special. Service is good. And the views can't be beat. The parking lot is huge which is nice. I've been twice at lunchtime and haven't seen it super busy but I haven't been on the weekends. It's a good solid choice if you're in the area. read more

Sea Harvest is a favorite stop for us driving down the coast. This is the 3rd time we've stopped and it didn't disappoint. The outdoor seating is lovely with heat lamps and water/beach view. The prawns and chip delectable - best fried prawns I've had in so long! Big and fresh with a light batter crisp on the outside. The fries are also quite tasty! Definitely recommend. read more

Sea Harvest - Lovely outdoor patio seating - Seafood Near Me - Moss Landing, California

My husband spent 4 days in beautiful Monterey, CA. Our friend who has a beach house there stopped and picked up bread, clam chowder. Brownies and came over to our campsite for dinner. The clam chowder was warm and plenty of seafood in the chowder. The bread was full of butter and garlic. Very tasty. Then the brownie!!! It was a little dry however it had chunks of chocolate with every bite. Nothing the microwave for a few seconds made it even more savory. So the next day we decided to go back for brunch. I have Salmon sandwich came with Coleslaw which was just right amount of ingredients. The salmon was perfectly cooked. I did forget to ask to have my salmon medium rare. However, it was a perfect salmon sandwich I take the bread off. And it had a nice crispy, lettuce and tomatoes, and some purple onions. The french fries were to die for. They were crispy and lightand just enough to gain weight on vacation. My husband had fish and chips and french fries and he loved every bit of it. It was crispy not overcooked. Everything was just perfect for him. And we ordered an appetizer artichokes. I had a few. I usually don't eat fried food. But they were really good. Whatever sauce that came with the salmon was also very tasty. I don't know if it was a ranch or homemade. but it added flavor to our food. The service was really good. Everything was hot. They allowed us to bring our dogs into the patio. It was a beautiful day. Perfect lunch. Plus they had a full fish market. Great prices and selection. read more

The seafood is extremely fresh, clean, and is local. They did an amazing job cooking the seafood to perfection, especially the grilled fish. The shellfish were steamed to perfection and did not taste rubbery at all. A nice family-friendly stop on the road for families to pop by and enjoy some good seafood! read more

After a long drive exploring Monterey Peninsula, my wife and I wanted seafood. We found Sea Harvest and what a NICE Find! We both had the Rockfish sandwich, mine with Cajun fries and hers with Garlic fries. The food was great but what made it even better was the friendly and professional service. Lilliana and her staff were fantastically friendly. A staff member shared a recent story about seeing a young Humpback whale in the harbor, how exciting! I highly recommend this establishment, as we plan to be back to eat more seafood ;-) read more

Coming in, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I definitely left feeling glad I ordered the Fish and Chips. They were excellent - some of the best I've ever had! The portion and quality were great. The cod was fresh, and the batter around it was very crispy. The fries were also great, and the sauce for the fish was perfect. I didn't mind that the slaw that came with the dish was just average - it was still a nice touch to have it. The weather happened to be beautiful, so sitting out on the patio was perfect for our group to enjoy our food and chat. Service is typical of a place where you order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. I think mine took about 15 mins. Altogether, it was a straight to the point, positive experience. read more

Must Sea Family-owned and run operation that's been in operation for 43 years. They not only catch, clean, and cook all their own fish, provided by their own fleet of boats, but they also have a market just down the road that sells their wares to the public during the weekdays. They're also really big on sustainable commercial fishing, and use methods that produce little to no by-catch. The Good: *Friendly service *Local brews on-tap *Very reasonable pricing since there's no middle man, they pass the savings onto the customer. *Fantastic dog-friendly outdoor dining with some of the best views of the Elkhorn Slough around. *Fast-casual: order at the counter, pay, and grab your food once you're buzzed. *Fish was cooked perfectly and seasoned expertly. *Large parking lot The Meh: *I love Crab, but hate picking it out of the shell. Nothing to do with the restaurant. Just throwing that out there. (: The Ugly: *They ran out of Clam Chowder on our visit. :(((( Conclusion: Fresh fish, great views, and you get to support your local Fishermen. read more

I stopped here with a friend to have some lunch and was very impressed with the location of the restaurant overlooking the Moss Landing Harbor. I saw Kayakers and Sea Otters from my table. I ordered the Calamari basket which I did not really enjoy since it was very crunchy and over-battered. I also ordered a bowl Clam Chowder which was very good and I ate it all. I would gladly recommend this restaurant but be careful with the Calamari orders. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. I will stop by again one day. read more

Hate to rate this place low because the ambiance is amazing, but the food quality is just not there. Ambiance: 5/5 Sitting on the deck watching the otters, seals, and birds is definitely phenomenal. We saw an otter clapping in the distance and saw many seals. Service: 3/5 It's an order at the window and then they bring your food to you situation. They do try to keep ip with busing the tables but we saw many that were not cleared. Food: 2/5 tl;dr overcooked fish and lackluster accompaniments. For a restaurant on the water I expect high quality seafood, and maybe the quality was there but we couldn't taste it since our fish was so over cooked. I got the grilled sablefish sandwich. Fish was dry and lacked any flavor. The fries that came with the sandwich were lackluster and the bread and sandwich accompaniments were not good. My husband got the fish tacos and had the same experience over cooked fish and the salsas/crema was not good. read more

Located between Monterey and Santa Cruz, this is a hidden gem of casual seafood dining. The place has a very laid back atmosphere and the dish prices are reasonable. Furthermore, it has a million dollar harbor view where you can see seals and otters swimming around the canals. The ordering process is fast food style: you see the overhead menu, your order, you pay, then you get a beeper that let you know when the order is ready. . The staff were super friendly and efficient. We arrived at 5PM and it was packed by 5:30PM. We ordered the following items: Seafood Paella: the dish was brothier than traditional paella however it was still very good. The seafood were fresh. The rice was nicely seasoned, with light buttery taste and a hint of turmeric. Steam mussels: the mussels were fresh and plump, and the broth was flavorful. Sampler tacos: all 3 seafood were nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. The mixture of cole slaw and salsa dressing were very nice. Fried Artichoke: the archies were soft and tender, the batter was light and not overly oily. Highly recommended for seafood lovers. read more

Came here on the day off to get away, and I'm glad I did! Great location at the tip of the Slough with nice seating outdoors and a covered glass patio for those of us less brave. I was going to get fish & chips but changed at the last second to get some grilled local fish on top of a Caesar salad, and fries on the side. Wow! A huge portion of fish, easily enough for 2, tbh! Grilled up nicely, and the fries on the side were hot & crisp. Wonderful! read more

I had a salad with delicious caper lemon Sable fish, which I will definitely order again. For me it was the perfect portion size. My husband and 16 year old son had the halibut fish and chips which they really enjoyed, but both were hoping for a little more fish. Lots of fries. Service was fast even though it was a very busy day. While we were on the deck overlooking the water, we saw some leopard sharks, bat rays and stingrays swing by in the water, which was a really amazing experience. Kayaks were paddling by and we saw a few boats coming into the harbor too. Staff was friendly and took care of our dishes right away. This is a quick and easy stop on the way home from Monterey and a much better price point than in town right on the water. read more

Have been here many times!!! But this last visit was disappointing . The customer service from the young lady taking our order was great, as always. The restaurant was clean. But there was a lack in service from management and the kitchen staff. I ordered oyster and a halibut pasta. The oyster were not cleaned properly and came with worms. The fish on my pasta seemed like it had been steamed or boiled in water, instead of grilled. And all the manager had to say is that the worms were harmless to eat and that the fish was not local. Didn't even care to come to our table, just sent the message with one of the employees. The Manager did not care to come to our table to improve our experience there, even after I said I wasn't asking for a refund. read more
