Sea Harvest Restaurant & Fish Market - Monterey, California

If you're going to the coast, you've got to have seafood, right? Well, this place will check that box without breaking the bank and it's delicious and enjoyable besides.

The bright and airy seating area together with the big patio and fresh fish counter make this a very easy place to just pop in that appeals equally to tourists and locals. The atmosphere is unequivocally casual but clean and not at all cheap-feeling. The decorations are fun and quirky. There are numerous options for how to have your fish prepared and every one I tried was pretty good.

It can be tough to get something fresh from the water without spending half a week's paycheck but this restaurant has you covered. Delicious fish. I'll definitely be back.

A great find while exploring Cannery row. The staff recommended and pointed out fresh local fish from the case. We started with the prawn cocktail with 8 huge prawns and tangy cocktail sauce for $13, such a deal. The grilled Cajun rockfish and grilled garlic and butter sole were cooked perfectly and flavorful. We had the fish platter served with steamed broccoli, carrots and yellow squash on a bed of rice for $26. The clam chowder is creamy and rich, a bit fishy for my palate but my dining partner loved it. We sat outside in a charming patio decorated with planters and pots of succulents and flowers. Highly recommend the s off the beaten path fish market.

Service was fine, cute outdoor seating area with umbrellas right by the aquarium. Food was good, nothing great. I enjoyed the fish and chips. The clam chowder was heavy on potatoes, would have loved more clam and the bread bowl was definitely not worth the extra money. Get a cup or bowl of soup and order a side of the garlic bread. They don’t toast or butter the bread bowl so it’s just the chowder in a somewhat stale loaf of bread. The garlic bread is actually the same bread but toasted and buttered! I did really like their coleslaw too.

One of the best fish shops I have eaten in awhile. The fish from the fish and chips are fresh. What blew me away more was the Prawns! The prawns were so fresh and springy, I absolutely loved them.

Had a great experience at Sea Harvest. Staff were friendly, seafood kebab was delicious. I wish they could serve us on regular plates just to create less garbage and protect the environment. Thanks

Excellent. Good food and good prices. I highly recommend. I got the seafood sampler and clam chowder.
I really liked the prawns/shrimp. (Note: you order up front and then take your food to your table.)

Food was so fresh and the service was quick! The oysters were not fishy or sandy at all! It tasted so clean and delicious! Fish and chips were the best i've had! The location is great if youre going to the aquarium bc we parked in the parking garage.
