A
Rock’N Fish
Sometimes it’s about the blackened halibut, sometimes it’s about the smokin’ waitstaff, but it’s always, always about the sour-apple martini at sexy Rock’N Fish, just steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier. Part seafood restaurant, part upscale bar, this appropriately named hangout is an always-popular fallback. Great for group dinners or an early date, it’s boisterous once the martini crowd flows in.

Bluewater Grill
Step up to the oyster bar, order a dozen on the half shell then sit back and watch the sun call it a day. For dinner, pick your fresh fish from the list then let the pros cook it any way you like. Garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach (!) are can’t-miss. The houseboat crowd slips in from the adjacent marina by 6:30pm for supercheap happy-hour prices.

Hungry Cat
Hollywood hep cats know their way to the zinc raw bar at Suzanne Goin and David Lentz’s seafood hideaway – tucked behind Borders books – where peel-and-eat shrimp, oysters on the half shell and savory fish du jour specials shine. For seafood-avoiders, the hefty Pug Burger is a must, a smoky affair memorably slathered with avocado, bacon and blue cheese.

Neptune’s Net
Not far past the Malibu line, Neptune’s Net catches Range Rovers, road bikes and rad choppers with fried-shrimp-and-beer hospitality on inviting wooden porches. A bit further are sycamore-lined mountain trails and seaside views of frolicking seals at lustrous Point Mugu State Park.

San Pedro Fish Market & Restaurant
Seafood feasts don't get any more decadent than at this family-run harbor-view institution. Pick from the day's catch, have it cooked to order, lug your tray to a picnic table, fold up your sleeves and devour meaty crabs, plump shrimp, slimy oysters and tender halibut.

Water Grill
Who needs the captain’s table when impeccable service, fresh seafood and a warm, nautical ambience await in the heart of downtown? Locals linger over martinis at the raw bar while concert-goers savor pre-show piscine specialties in the wood-beamed dining room.

Lobster
Chef Allyson Thurber crafts lobster and seafood specials as stunning as the oceanfront views at this lively pierside perch. Tables are tight and the noise levels high, but that’s de rigueur at the beach.
