πΊπΈ Monterey Seafood Gem β All-You-Can-Eat for $35! π¦π€
This popular seafood spot has over 6,000 Google reviews and was even featured by the BBC for its famous seafood stew! ππΊ Perfect for those driving Highway 1, visiting Santa Cruz, or exploring the coast. Tip: Arrive around 10 AM for brunch to avoid the long lines β it gets packed after 11! We sat under a canopy by the water β a bit windy but the view was worth it πβ±οΈ. When we left around 11, the line was already winding through the dining hall. π Must-Try: Cioppino Seafood Stew Bowl: $29 (enough for 2) Large Pot: $66 (we got this for 4 people β totally worth it!) Packed with lobster legs, fish, crab, clams, and moreβ¦ all swimming in a rich, tangy tomato broth thatβs not too salty π π¦ Comes with two small salads and crispy garlic butter toast β perfect for dipping! π₯π§ π Mediterranean Seafood Pasta - $29 Huge portion! The sauce tasted similar to the Cioppino β loaded with chopped seafood. The pasta was flavorful and balanced the seafood perfectly ππ π Steamed Clams We ordered a half portion β simple and fresh, no heavy seasoning needed. π« Half Dozen Oysters - Not recommended π« Sadly, they werenβt cleaned well β still sandy inside. π Philβs Fish Market & Eatery 7600 Sandholdt Rd, Moss Landing, CA 95039 #MontereyFood #Highway1 #BayAreaEats #BayAreaWeekend #SeafoodLover #CaliforniaCoast #FoodieFind
