This place has been around since late 1980s and has been one of the best seafood places around. You…read morehave fresh crab to pick from, then they steam & crack ooen for you. Grilled prawns are so delishes but at $53/lb for 6-8 pieces kond of high for me. They also have lobster, shrimp, fried or grilled, fish (cod) & chips . We ordered today, 5 crabs, 2 orders fish & chips, grilled shrimp, large Clam chowder with total of $140. The swafood fresh, crab meats so tender and sweet. Unfortunately, I m writing this bc I found out today, this place will permanently close July 6th, 2026. This is the only place left open in this worn out area. The people working there said, the old buildings will be demolished and they will build something else. Too bad they will not return. So if you have a chance, go visit before it happens. This place is delicious and worth the 1.5 hrs from where we live.

We came to the Fisherman's Catch to celebrate Mother's Day since my wife was craving some seafood…read more We arrived around 11am right when thay just incase it was busy and we didn't make reservations. Once arrived we were greeted right away by the owner and staff and was seated right away. Luckily the restaurant wasn't that busy yet. Right of the bat service from Samantha P was fantastic and very friendly. As for the food we ordered 3 different appetizer and 2 main seafood dishes to share. Appetizers: Aquachiles- They were freshly made that morning and the was fantastic. Clam Strips- They were fresh and nicely battered. Portions were on the small side. Delaware Bay Oysters- Fantastic and so fresh. Very clean tasting. For the main dishes we ordered: 5oz Blackened Red Snapper- The snapper was grilled perfect. It was flaky and moist. 4pc Alaskan Cod Fish & Chips- I ordered it half Beer Battered and half Panko Fried. The panko came out dry but had a better crispness to it. The beer battered is the way to go. The fish was moist and flaky and the batter was nice and light as well. Plus the chips ( Fries) where amazing. I believe they were double fried. It was crispy on the outer layer and creamy inside. All in all we did enjoyed our Mother's Day lunch at Fisherman's Catch. Until our next visit.

I had the lobster roll and the lobster itself was good and tasted fresh I felt like it needed to be seasoned with something more besides just drizzling the sauce on top. The lobster portion was a little small too. The fries were good tho. The happy hour deals seem super good! I will have to come next time and update this review.

The fish was FRESH. Perfectly crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Also got burgers for the kids and hush puppies. The kids burgers were cooked nicely, not dry.

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.

The tempura veggies were meh- their batter isn't really what I like for tempura - kind of soft and moist and not crunchy They also do fried fish- two batters tempura or some chicken-batter? a bit more thick. I would not recommend that as the charbroiled fish had a lot more flavor. The batters here were not impressive. It was a bit disappointing to only like a portion of their menu

They're open all day, so you can come in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, which makes it super convenient. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice a beautiful display of wine bottles, and you can clearly see the full bar ahead--definitely sets the tone that the drinks are going to be just as good as the food. Fabiola was our waitress, and she was incredibly sweet and attentive. She answered all of our questions (and we had a lot!), making the whole experience even better. We all started with coffee--because how could we not at breakfast? Unfortunately, their espresso machine wasn't working, so I went with a regular black coffee with creamer. It was actually pretty good! We didn't order any appetizers, but they have plenty of great options to choose from. For my meal, I ordered the ribeye sandwich, and wow--the meat was so tender and juicy, full of flavor, and the portion was perfect. I could honestly eat this every day. My sister had the chilaquiles, which were highly recommended by the staff, and they definitely lived up to the hype. The only thing is we wished they were a little more saucy, as they were slightly on the dry side. My sister-in-law ordered the big breakfast, which comes with two of everything--huge portions and definitely worth it. Now let's talk about the pancakes... they offer both regular pancakes and Mexican-style pancakes, which are thinner--but honestly, so much better. I cannot stress enough how amazing they were. I absolutely fell in love and would come back just for those alone! Overall, such an amazing place. Highly recommend!

Stopped by Lure while visiting Ventura for the fishing expo and had a great experience overall…read more Service was excellent from start to finish. Our server was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the oysters, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. Started with oysters. The Morro Bay oysters were definitely my favorite. Buttery, clean, and super easy to eat. 5/5. We also tried another variety that the server described as more briny and oceany, which ended up not really being my thing, but I appreciated the honest recommendation beforehand. The New England clam chowder was great. Rich, creamy, comforting, and they offered fresh ground pepper to your liking at the table which was a nice touch. 5/5. I ordered the cod fish and chips and the cod itself was excellent. Light crispy batter, flaky fish, not greasy at all. Definitely the standout entrée for me. 5/5. The dill horseradish sauce was also fantastic and paired perfectly with the fish. 5/5. Only disappointment of the meal was the fries. They came out soft and soggy instead of crispy. Ate maybe 3 fries and left the rest behind. 1/5 on those unfortunately. One thing worth mentioning: my friend paid the tab and always leaves a flat 10% tip no matter what. The service here deserved much more than that, so I ended up leaving extra cash on the table because our server genuinely did a great job. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Ventura.
