Santa Barbara Shellfish Company

What a pleasant surprise! We randomly stopped in this place without any prior info. It's a cozy place but you are not there for the scenery, except the pleasant views of the ocean surrounding you.
I had the crab cakes which were delicious. Being from the east coast in used to less filling in them but there were still delicious. You won't be disappointed. My wife had the oyster shooters...we'll just say I will be happy tonight, she kept ordering more and more. Men, good place to take the ladies. Hahaha
Now that box crab ????...not only was huge, it was awesome! Loved every bite & left no evidence.
I would easily suggest going.

I've lived on the ocean most of my life and it's safe it say this is one of the best places to get fresh seafood. Its a fairly small location so bring a fishing pole for the wait. If you sit at the counter you can watch the chefs cook. I also like the tanks they have to hold the all of the live crabs, lobsters, and other goodies. They also have outdoor seating which is nice on sunny days. Definitely a must stop location.

Delicious spot on the water, with a great view and great staff. We loved the local wine and sea food, and loved watching the chef cooking! Will definitely return.

There was about a 20 minutes wait for a table indoors. We got a table facing the water which was nice. We got the 1.5lb Maine lobster and the Crab Louie salad. Both were delicious, especially the lobster. Special mention to the croutons in the Crab Louie salad. They tasted fresh and of bread unlike the boxed croutons usually found in salads. Overall, a good experience in terms of food and service.

My crab cakes and clam chowder was good. Ciopopino was way too spicy for my taste which turned me off. Lobster roll was fresh but bland. Staff friendly and helpful with order and popular. Great spot. Will try different items next time.
