Malibu Seafood

The best way to come to Malibu Seafood is with a regular. Otherwise, this review will serve as an alternative companion. Start salivating, right when you hit PCH: if this is Malibu Seafood’s rush hour (Saturday lunch, holiday weekend…), don’t hesitate to call to order and avoid the long lines. Almost everything is excellent at this fishermen’s hut, half-fishmonger and half-restaurant: divine steamed mussels, clam chowder served in a sourdough bread, the crispiest fried calamari (erroneously called “squid and fries”), and the robbery of the century: a whole fish, simply grilled and served with two sides (choose rice pilaf and housemade coleslaw) — for only 15 bucks! A picnic table, the view of the ocean and a bottle of BYO white wine… Isn’t life beautiful?
