Seafood lovers can eat their fill of dungeness crabs and lobster at the Water Grill in Santa Monica and Downtown LA, and King’s Fish House in Long Beach and Calabasas.
Caught directly in the oceans off the California coast, these delicacies are offered in different dishes in both restaurant locations.
This year’s commercial fishing season in Northern California has been delayed somewhat by the risk of whales getting caught in fishing lines. In late December, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife gave the okay to resume fishing after surveys found the whales were out of harm’s way.
The Water Grill highlights the seasonal crustaceans in a variety of starters and main dishes, including live wild California dungeness crabs steamed and served with pulled butter and homemade coleslaw, and live local lobster charcoal grilled and served with homemade coleslaw.
King’s Fish House serves live wild California Dungeness crabs steamed and served with salted butter and a choice of two side dishes, plus live local charcoal grilled lobsters and served with pulled butter.
In addition to seasonal crab and lobster, Water Grill Santa Monica offers a variety of entrees including clam soup, calamari, fish tacos, crab cakes, clams, oysters, clams, squid, and sushi. For main courses, guests can choose from a wide variety of oysters, chilled shellfish such as jumbo crab claws, clams, Mexican prawns, clams and red sea urchins. Their shellfish platters are perfect for large groups and feature an impressive tower of seafood.
Main courses also include fish and chips, halibut collar, mahi mahi, wild bigeye tuna, king salmon, Chilean sea bass, and a delicious cioppino.
Carnivores can enjoy a variety of chargrilled steaks.
The Santa Monica location offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and also has a large outdoor deck for al fresco dining.
