We specialize in
-
Ultra-fresh, wild-caught seafood
When seafood hits the plate, it carries your name. That’s why we fish the waters off Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands — and deliver at peak perfection. Never imported. Never farmed. Never sitting in a warehouse. Just clean Pacific fish landed locally and handled with care.
-
Hook-and-line, the right way
These are the waters we work every week. We fish slowly and selectively, using low-impact hook-and-line methods that protect our coastline and produce fish with pristine texture, clarity, and flavor.
-
From the Santa Barbara harbor to your kitchen
Including Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Malibu, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Pasadena, and Orange County (with minimum order).
-
Landed with your menu in mind
We pay attention to what’s running around the Channel Islands, what’s truly beautiful that day, and what will shine on your raw bar, tasting menu, or wood-fired grill. If it won’t elevate your plate, it doesn’t leave our dock.
-
Real provenance, no mystery
You can tell your guests exactly where their fish came from — the harbor, the boat, the waters off the Channel Islands — and how it was caught.
-
Seasonal Channel Islands specialties
California spiny lobster, Santa Barbara spot prawns, uni, and limited coastal species that only appear when conditions are just right. When they’re in season here, they’re unlike anywhere else.
This is seafood chefs can build a menu around.
