What People are Saying

“Every time I come into Santa Monica Seafood it’s a wonderful experience. The fish is always the best and everyone is so friendly.  Rosa is wonderful and always so friendly and happy. This is the only place I buy my seafood. The restaurant is also great. We try to visit here to eat at least once a week.

Thank you for being here!”
