It was such good fresh seafood! Great prices and fast service. I had a king crab salad(perfection!) that came with a clam chowder. My friend and I shared the fried oysters. And he let me try his fried scallop sandwich which was insanely delicious.

Great food & market, across from the beach. Fish & chips are unbeatable. We also had clam chowder and a real crab salad. All very tasty. All fresh. Reasonable prices. Rustic style dining. Parking can be a challenge if you go normal eating hours, but not impossible. Restroom behind the building.
Best seafood!

It was raining on that day we went to get lunch from here. You order in the small store and go to the closed seating area beside the store for dining. Fish and chips were crispy but lacked any seasoning, the shrimps were yum, and paired well with pilaf.

Malibu Seafood, October 5, 2025 My daughter’s sister said you got to try this place so we decided to & why not if you’re coming out to Malibu, CA for the beach ️ or just enjoying a drive up & down the PCH you can’t go wrong especially if you ❤️ seafood! Malibu Seafood is so Awesome! With so many different kinds of seafood to choose from as you can see on their menu plus other stuff also like different kinds of bread to eat with their clam chowder sourdough bread or a bagel or a baguette for later & OMG! The “Fish & Chips” are to die for they are so freaking good perfectly battered & the french fries just have that amazing taste to them also plus the clam chowder & the shrimp tacos ! So no matter what you order you can’t go wrong! Please don’t forget the extra tartar sauce & the malt vinegar or the ketchup or the hot sauce ️ some people enjoy that & the butter . Note: the outside eating areas can get very busy to find a table but you can & I ❤️ the “No Dogs” sign but you still see them there! L L! The view is breath taking of the ocean & you can see the PCH right there as you eat it’s so beautiful. Thank You to everyone here at Malibu Seafood for making our first time here a very wonderful & exciting day with all of the food & the smell of fresh seafood & the sights & sounds of people enjoying life & just eating & making everlasting memories. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’s & %+ for the service & for the food & everything else. Great Job Y’all!!!

Fish tacos were pretty good but not great. (My October 2025 spooky video review goes more in depth).
The TLDW: It’s shredded fish not whole fish and salsa wasn’t as spicy as I would prefer.
They seem to be liked, if not loved, by many as there was a line literally out the door and around the side.
I will be going back and will update the review once I get a chance to see if their score goes up or down.
Overall score: 4.25 out of 5
Recommend to try: Yes
Affordability: 2 tacos plus a drink = approximately $18
So a bit higher than what I would like but considering the area it’s reasonable and definitely better than just getting McDonald’s, etc. & more than likely better for you.

Awesome fried seafood! The fish and chips and the fried shrimp were both excellent. The patio seating with ocean views really adds to the coastal vibe. This is a must-visit spot when you’re in Malibu.

Long time visiter, first time reviewer. Wish I had tried the Potato Salad sooner! Malibu Seafood has always met our expectations. We were there between the New Year’s holiday week on a Tuesday and had an issue with our meal. I must say that I was thoroughly impressed by the management’s reaction to resolve. Will continue our tradition of returning to this staple each time we visit Point Dume.

Must-visit local seafood restaurant and market on the PCH in Malibu. A bit of a line but well worth the wait! Outdoor picnic-table seating with an ocean view. Lots of menu options including prep method (fried, grilled, salads) and portion size (i.e., you can choose number of pieces of fish for the fish fry).

Food was Fresh and Service was fast even though the line was pretty long, worth the wait , price was very affordable, I definitely recommend this place, the view was amazing.

Really excellent basic fish shack kinda place. The seafood, however, is excellent. Great laid back vibe, welcoming staff. A tradition.
Update: just had one of my best meals in LA here. Fresh grilled corvina, Cole slaw and fries. Extremely simple but each element was perfect and they all worked together. Pro tip: if the MS specials board says fresh grilled anything, order the anything. The freshest fish goes from the docks to the specials board . Oh, and their tartare sauce is more like aoli.
