What do I expect when wifey and I go out for dinner? Good service, nice environment, I prefer a quiet place, tasty well seasoned food, salted to perfection, fair prices and finally a good vibe. Did Seal Beach Fish Company meet all my criteria.... no. The waiters and waitresses were very nice but newbies, not necessarily bad, but newbies never the less. The food... I got fried calamari, not bad but the mayo/aeoli with rosemary was questionable, the other sauce was really tasty so that made up for the odd tasting mayo concoction. The Ceviche was the biggest surprise of the evening, at $20+ you expect a little bit more than small coffee cup worth of Ceviche. Tasty but the stingy portion was shocking. My Fish platter (rock fish) was served with no intention of making it look good. Tasty but no salt (sigh). The French fries were excellent with a perfect amount of salt. None of these issues are hard to fix but with so many excellent restaurants in the area I would take a hard look at all these issues. We spent $100 with a 15% tip (we usually give 20%+) and that was without any alcohol or soft drinks :( And lastly the place felt like sitting in a refrigerator, very...

Read moreWinner, winner, seafood dinner! I recently won a raffle at a golf fundraiser where I met Chad and tried his seared ahi fish tacos for the first time. The taco was a hole in one! Presentation to portion size were on point.
I took my wife and some friends to dine at the restaurant last night and Chad outdid himself again. Friendly and personable service staff with killer decor to boot. We started with the charred edamame and ceviche apps. Both set the stage perfectly for the main entrees. Next, we tried the ahi fish sandwich, the halibut plate, ono fish tacos, and jumbo lump crab roll. (Sorry, we missed a few snaps because we were so eager to eat the food). The freshness and flavor profiles are unmatched. Let's just say there were no "to-go" boxes needed!
So if you're looking for the freshest fish in town with a small beachside vibe, Pacific Coast Fish is where it's at! Be sure to make a rezy, the place was packed by 6:00 pm. Looking forward to...
