Malibu & Pacific Palisades


Since the '80s, this rambling shanty has been reeling them in for fresh fish and seafood. Order at the counter (simply grilled, blackened, fried etc) with sides such as fries, slaw and Cajun rice then grab a picnic table on the deck, or a booth by the window, for views across PCH to the ocean.
