7. Red Lobster

Judy and I dined at Red Lobster last night, and something happened that simply blew me away. I'd ordered a steamed lobster, which arrived with an extra touch of kindness and caring attached...the shell had already been cracked in strategic areas, making it SO MUCH EASIER to open up and capture the lobster meat. I can't remember anyone doing that for me before!Also, we ordered the side dish of baked/smashed potato with lobster and shrimp topping, and took it home. It was a yummy and generous lunch today.
6. Fish and Chips
Reviewed By Smudge R
Tucked away in Salinas is this gem of an eatery that serves up the most perfect fish and chips ever. They have a great varied menu, but I can never stray away from ordering the fish & chips. This is quality hand-battered fish that is fried perfectly every time i've been here. Service is super fast and friendly. The restrooms are always clean and tidy. One would think that better fish & chips would be found by the coast, i.e., Santa Cruz, but the bonus goes to Salinas. Who knew?
5. Pacific Grill Restaurant
Reviewed By dapinca
Amazing fresh seafood, very generous portions and reasonable prices. Not even a wait on a Saturday evening. Tried a house special of prawns, scallops and crab fettucine. Husband tried the kebob with swordfish, prawn, salmon and scallop. Whew. Both dishes were loaded with seafood. Lovely harbor view and can see seals playing along the shore. Forget the competition down the highway; this has better service, seating, and food quality. They do close at 8 pm on Saturday so plan accordingly.

California Coastal Cuisine - with three dining environments that are anchored by a central, experiential oyster bar and live-fire kitchen. The menu is fresh, local, simple and high quality.

The good oysters are fantastic but pricey 3.25 per oyster, grilled octopus, one of the best Iâve ever had perfectly grilled and seasoned. The pork chop thick juicy, very good. Now the bad had a $45 veggie pasta special that was very poorly seasoned, couldnât eat it, no one at our table liked it. The service was very slow and unattentive.We were served apps with no plates, had to wait 20 min. to order drinks and they were 1/4 full, there were plenty of bodies around, just not our table I guess, pricey, but anything from the wood grill worth it.
3. Sea Harvest Fish Market & Restaurant

I ordered the fish sandwich. Ratio of bread to fish was 4:1 at best. Why such thick bread? Made the whole sandwich very very dry and the fish was lost. Skimpy on the lettuce and tomato when this sandwich craved moisture. I ended up using the dips from our appetizer to try and moisten the sandwich. So then I tried to eat the fish just on its own and forget the bread but the fish badly needed seasoning. The restaurant is no longer called Sea Harvest so perhaps that is the issue here. We took a survey around the table and everyone had the same response. Mediocre. Hope the owners read this and do something about the food. So disappointing because the location is terrific.

My wife and I discovered this wonderful gem years ago while on a coastal road trip and we've made a point of going by EVERY TIME we're even close. Everything on the menu is delicious and surprising. Fish and seafood is always fresh. My highest recommendations to get to this place asap.
