Friendly market with great food and staffs. The market itself is clean and has variety of fresh seafood to choose from! The vibe is great and staffs (market and dine in) are both amazing. For the dine in, we ordered oysters for starters and they were deliciously fresh. We each ordered some dishes after and they were pretty good. You can definitely tell every seafood part of the dish was delectably fresh and cooked scrumptiously. Some dishes were better than others but overall consistently great. Highly recommend for a dine in, if you stop by and have time!

Yall this place is GOOD. The Peruvian scallops were DELICIOUS, the Chilean sea bass was so crispy yet buttery and flaky and soft, the calamari was so lightly battered and crisp, and the stone crab claws were amazing with their sauce. My expectations were certainly exceeded. Service is excellent and I love the brightly lit natural lighting. 10/10 will be back.

Arrived on a Friday afternoon looking to have a lobster roll. There was a wait for a table seat but I opted to sit at their oyster bar. I asked a guy what he was having because it looked good. So I ordered the Wild Hawaiian Bigeye Tuna Poke Bowl. It is served with hawaiian dressing, sushi rice, avocado, sesame seed, tobiko caviar, and seaweed salad. It was delicious. They have other items I would definitely come back to try. They have parking in the back and metered parking. The place is organized kept up. My first time here and I will definitely be back.

Santa Monica Seafood Market is my go-to spot for the freshest seafood. The quality of the fish is always top-notch, and you can really taste the difference. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with recommendations or special requests. At checkout, they even offer you a bag with an ice pack to keep your seafood cold until you get home—such a thoughtful touch. They also have a free parking lot in the back and meters in the front, which makes shopping super convenient. It is on the pricier side, but you truly get what you pay for: premium seafood that’s worth every penny. I love shopping here and always trust them for the best quality.

My husband and I have been enjoying the best quality & freshest seafood at the Santa Monica Seafood Market & Cafe for over a decade or so . Whenever we feel like having seafood the only place that comes to mind is this establishment . The best oysters , and the Cioppino is superb !!! The Crab Louie salad is divine. One of the best fish and chips in town . For your next seafood outing make reservations and go to the Santa Monica Seafood Market & Cafe !!!
