“ The staff are patient, friendly, and helpful. You can order to dine in or take out. They were fairly quick to prepare the food for us. They have nice outdoor seating. We got the lobster bisque and the crispy sole sandwich. Their sandwiches are very big! Everything tasted great. They use high quality bread. ”
“ Excellent fish and chips and calamari at a killer price. The fresh fish selection also looks amazing and their accouterment section has a ton of unique options with a good amount made in house. Highly recommend this spot for quality, decently priced seafood which is not the norm in SB. Helpful for families who love fresh seafood but don’t want to go pay a higher price at a fancier spot ”
“ The food is so fresh and good. Everything I had was top notch and those halibut fish n chips ”
“ The Santa Barbara Fish Market, as the name suggests, has a wide variety of fresh-caught fish pulled straight from local waters. But beyond the market selections, they serve up delicious prepared food. One of the standouts is their fish and chips - perfectly fried, generous portions that hit the spot. There's plenty more on the menu I'm eager to try, like their clam chowder and steamed mussels. With some prime surf and paddle boarding spots nearby, this is the perfect post-session hang, with cold drinks and fresh seafood keeping the vibe right. Definitely coming back to work my way through the rest of the menu. ”
“ Great, fresh seafood! The oysters are amazing. The dirty fries are delicious. The sole sandwich, poke, fish & chip, clam chowder That smoked fish ! Chef Paul knows his stuff!! Excellent new vibes for the University plaza! Cheers ... ”
“ What a great stop, so good I went twice while I was in town for 2 days. I have been on a bender for chowder, and this was one of my favorites I have had the week we spent in CA. I tried crab claws for the first time, they were good but a lot of effort to get inside. Mahi-mahi grilled sandwich was super good, the pineapple and Japanese bbq went well together - the sandwich was challenging to keep together snd it was messy. But sooooo good. Some outdoor seating available with a few spots inside at a high top counter and a couple tables. I didn’t buy any fresh fish but there was a line both times I was there - it looked amazing. ”
“ This is a great little market and restaurant. The shrimp tacos are very good, I had the tuna melt and it was fantastic with just a hint of jalapeno. The fish and chip order is huge. Inside you also find fresh fish and shellfish. They also have a freezer section with frozen seafood to take home. I really liked that they had a nice selection of caviar. It's a great new addition to this shopping mall! ”
“ Delicious, fresh food. Fish and chips was amazing! Wish they had more seating. ”
