Terrible experience with their home delivery service. I ordered 5 pounds their clams and the clams arrive dripping wet on my floor and smell bad. I open the wet box and found out the clams were terribly packed. No bags, no insulation box, just a fish net and two packs of dry ice! So half of the clams were dead (opened and no response when pinch it ). I contacted the owner and she said she is going to refund me the dead clams. However, nothing has been refunded. I called them a few days later and left a message. No response! In fact, the remain clams keep dying when I wash them and I end up throw them all in the trash just in case they may cause food poisoning. This home delivery order including $25 shipping costed me over $80! What a terrible experience! Will never order from them again!

We visited and ordered the following for our lunch:
Fish and Chips
Fishwich
Total: $50.04 with tips
We’re looking forward to trying the seafood they’re offering because of the great reviews from Google Maps. However, overall, we’re not so pleased with the flavor. Especially with the battered fish, you can’t taste the flavor of the fish apart from the fact that it’s deep-fried. The sauces helped to elevate the flavor. The fries were good except for the potato chips. We thought what we ordered was too pricey in terms of quality. The ambiance was great, and the service was all right.

This is the second visit to Kanaloa Seafood that I’ve done and both times the food is incredible and very fresh .
Laid back no frills outdoor patio with umbrellas for a quick stop while enjoying the freshly made tacos .
This time I chose the Korean Salmon tacos with a refreshing slaw and a very good aioli with kimchi. The salmon is nicely cooked or braised (?) in the sauce making this a desirable taco . Last time I got the swordfish tacos which were equally amazing .
Parking can be a bit tricky but if you go around the block a couple times something opens up .
Will definitely be back here when I’m back to Santa Barbara .

Popped in for a quick lunch while I was on the road. The classic oysters were delicious, really next level. Salmon burger was also solid, just a bit dry for my taste. Regardless, it was a great meal and the service was pleasant and fast!

On our ride on PCH, stoped at Santa Barbara for recharge.
Find this nice place. We loved food ! Oysters were delicious!! Fresh and tasty! Freshest we had in a long time! Poke and tacos exceptional
Clam chowder soup just pass… I don’t think there is any clams in it. Potato and what ever else but no sea creatures in it .

Group order of Fish and Chips, Salmon Club, Half + Half Poke, and Crispy Fish Tacos. The battered fish in the fish and chips were the best battered fish I’ve had. The batter is not overdone and the fish retains it’s original appearance inside, the meat clings together really well. The same fish is also found in the crispy fish tacos. The side of chips (fries) are also part of the Salmon Club which have a very good potato consistency inside and a crisp exterior fry. The salmon in the sandwich was very hearty and you can see the quality of the salmon in presentation. The Half + Half Poke was also a good choice, the tuna was especially smooth and soft. Parking here may be a bit rough on site but fortunately there is street parking nearby and a shopping center parking lot across the street.

What a great find during our recent trip to SB! This place is just of the beaten path of Lower State Street, but ABSOLUTELY worth the slight detour. The food is FRESH – probably the best Poke Bowl I’ve ever had, and their Fish Tacos live up to the hype and awards!

Very high quality seafood both prepared (vgood fish tacos, great poke bowls) and unprepared to cook at home in my experience. Inside is very basic, outside is fine.
