Pier 8 Seafood

You get to go in & pick out what fresh seafood that you want. Fish, shrimp, etc. and they cook it right there & bring it out to you. Everything is fresh & delicious! I also loved the patio outside being able to eat out by the water.

First and foremost, Pier 8 Seafood, is a fish market and an eating establishment second. You walk up to a large selection of various species of fresh fish and shrimp. You may purchase your choice(s) for take home to cook yourself or for a small extra amount they will fry the whole fish or fry/boil the shrimp for you. Sides are a choice of french fries or onion rings. With a couple of beers the meal was great. A choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Staff was helpful and friendly. A good choice if you are in the area. Oh yes, we had a red snapper and fries. Yum

this is a MUST stop for tourist looking for fresh seafood. the parking is tight but there is additional parking across the street. you pick your seafood and how you want it cooked. they sell beer no wine and soft drinks. you cant bring any outside drinks or food. I absolutely love the taste and freshness

I'm so glad I came to this place. I've been living in the bay area for some time and longed for a "you buy, we fry" fish place like the ones they have in Los Angeles. This place didn't disappoint. They have a variety of fresh catch, ranging from catfish, red fish, red snapper, and various sizes of shrimp, all displayed for the customer to choose. They also have fresh scallops, squid, frogs legs and oysters. You pick what you want and they fry it for you. You can also take the raw seafood home and cook it yourself. No need for that because their method of cooking is perfection. You can also get sides with your seafood. There's plenty of family style seating inside and on the patios outside as well. The staff is accommodating and friendly, and will make sure you have everything you need for a casual dining experience. This place is a gold mine. 5 stars!!!
