It’s a place to buy seafood and a place to eat seafood- and I mean a lot of seafood! Huge selection from around the world! It’s mostly fresh and on ice. Buy it and the cook it options abound!
To me, the prices were pretty high, but it is Redondo Beach and you are on the ocean, so not shockingly so. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Kind of a must stop when you visit!
So much fish at about 2x the price of Costco (eg salmon was $20/lb). Loved the shrimp and the hot prepared food (ciopinno, etc) the best.

Came here for late lunch after a drive in the beach area of Redondo last January. It was no longer busy so we got served in no time. We ordered the clam chowder which was really creamy and tasty. We also got the shrimp platter good for two which was reasonably priced in my opinion. The taste was acceptable and I appreciated the unlimited variants of hot sauces available to pair perfectly with your seafood. Overall, our dining experiences here were pleasant.

Staying at a hotel near the beach so I was looking forward to some good Seafood. I’m from the Pacific Northwest so Clam Chowder is a must for any side when waiting for the main entree.
Unfortunately, I’ve been spoiled with our hometown greatness. Yes, it’s light, but I enjoy a creamier Clam Chowder…Captain Kids was soupy and surprisingly bland. I think the flavor left with the Garlic Fries.
Fish was fantastic though. Exactly what I’d expect.

A local institution with both a fish market and restaurant serving a variety of fresh seafood, soups, tacos, and even a steak or two hiding on the menu. The location is right where the international boardwalk ends and the huge harbor parking lot begins… so there is plenty of parking. Line forms at the door and to the right is eat in and to the left is the fish market and oysters and such. You get a number and go find a table and get your condiment situation in order.. get plenty of napkins or you will keep returning for more as the food is so succulent and juicy. The fried foods are not overly salty or breaded and they taste like seafood not too greasy. The move here is simple grilled fish and then they also have good sides including all the usual suspects plus hush puppies. The clam chowder is thick and flavorful. Overall this rustic waterfront gem is more than just great food and people.. it is truly one of those iconic spots that is the fabric of Redondo Beach and a favorite for generations. Also a great place to take a nice walk after your meal and enjoy the ocean breeze and view. It is also right across from the larger hotels on Harbor Dr. so if you are visiting town this is great place to get some local flavor.

Captain Kidd’s has been on my list to try for a while, and I finally made it. The atmosphere is decent, with a nice view of the water, but the whole experience starts on a sour note with the paid parking. It’s a bit of a shock to pay just to park at a restaurant.
As for the food, it was okay, but nothing to write home about. The mussel cup I had was fine—the mussels themselves were cooked properly, but the overall flavor was a bit underwhelming. The calamari appetizer was in a similar boat; it was cooked well, but it wasn’t the best I’ve had. The same went for the clam chowder soup—it was edible, but lacked the rich, creamy flavor I was hoping for.
Overall, it’s a perfectly acceptable place to grab a bite if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it, especially with the hassle and cost of parking.

I came here for my birthday 07/05/2025 and overall my experience was alight. (Not the best) I expected higher expectations but I did choose this place because my brother said they have the best seafood. When my brother place his food order it was my turn to let the cashier know what I wanted. When I mention I wanted lobster she told me and my brother to go to the other side to order the lobster. He asked her why I can’t order it here and she said it’s because it two separate transactions and markets? Long story short we went to the side and waited almost 40 minutes to place my lobster order. And the guy ask my brother would you like any sides with that? And he said we order sides already on the order side of the main line. ♀️ This line set up doesn’t make any sense. And the worst part was by the time we finished ordering my food, my family already received their food and was eating at the table. My garlic fries were lukewarm and my lobster had a grill taste to it. I like mimes tender and moist. Would I come back maybe

An amazing place if you’re a fan of fresh fish. The ambiance is not stylish, so you may not pick this location for a first date, but authentic with great 70s music. The service was great (it’s an over-the-counter place), very helpful (I had questions), and very friendly. Their fish was amazing – just as you would expect from a place like this. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who is in this area – or has a craving for fresh fish and wants to hang out in a place where you can smell the ocean.
I made a 30+ detour just to dine here (mandatory with me to achieve 5 stars) and would happily do again.

A great place for some fresh seafood. Casual and clean dining area. It’s a very laid back atmosphere with plenty of seating. Plenty of parking in the area around the building or in the structure.
When you come in, there are two lines, one for fresh seafood you want to take home and another line for dine-in. Good variety of fish if you wanted to take home and cook yourself
If you’re ever in the mood for some fresh seafood, it’s been our go to for years. Their fish and chips are great. Pair with a nice beer and it’s a nice combo. We didn’t get them on this occasion but I can recommend it.
Personally as I eat a lot of tuna and salmon during the week, I tend to opt for more of the “white” fish when I come here. Highly recommend the swordfish or halibut plates. They come with two choice of sides. I prefer to get corn on the cob and will usually alternate between Cole slaw or rice pilaf depending on my mood. I don’t get the veggies as they tend to come from frozen and not as fresh
For the fish plates, I always go grilled with simple seasoning. It’s always cooked perfectly here.
Their clam chowder is decent. Not the best but flavorful enough if you want a something warm with your meal.
Popcorn shrimp is plenty for the portion. It’s a nice snack.
Another dish I would recommend is their fried whole fish plate. We got the pompano and it’s a nice sized fish with plenty of meat on the bone. Sometimes it’s fun to “dig” into your food.
