If you have a chance, visit, pick your seafood of choice (rock crab, shrimp, lobster, spider crab, fish & chips, clam chowder) and eat there in the Fisherman Wharf or bring it home to fully enjoy the deliciousness!!

Unfortunately, I m writing this bc I found out today, this place will permanently close July 6th, 2026. This is the only place left open in this worn out area. The people working there said, the old buildings will be demolished and they will build something else. Too bad they will not return. So if you have a chance, go visit before it happens. This place is delicious and worth the 1.5 hrs from where we live.

Nothing overly fancy, just good, fresh food done right. We usually come here to purchase fresh crabs, and so far we've always been happy with them. The crabs have been delicious, and the male crabs were especially large. The only downside has been the customer service on some visits. We've occasionally had to wait quite a while to get fresh or live crabs, and during our last experience, the staff seemed a bit irritated for some reason. Despite that, the quality of the crabs has kept us coming back. Overall, good seafood, great crabs, and we'll likely continue stopping by when we're in the area.

I've always liked Fishermen's Catch, dating back to the pre-Covid days. They do seafood well, and…read moretheir prices are fair. I've only ever eaten to-go from here so I can't honestly speak to the ambiance of the joint-- though it seems nice when I pick up my food. The service has always been top notch and I'm sure we will continue to eat Fishermen's Catch for years to come

Looking for somewhere to eat fish and chips passing through Oxnard and this did not disappoint!…read moreLove that they have family bucket of fish and chips and had the Dodger game on. The fish was FRESH. Perfectly crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Also got burgers for the kids and hush puppies. The kids burgers were cooked nicely, not dry. Everything was made to order so expect a small wait but very worth it. Service was friendly and very casual spot with really good food. Stop in and give it a try!

For over 25 years, this spot has remained a "go to" in the community, and we love seeing these old school treasures continue to thrive. From the moment you walk in, you get those nostalgic, old-school vibes. Loved all of the decor and pictures of fisherman throughout the place. The service here was awesome. Super friendly and welcoming, and the gentleman at the register gave great recommendations. He knew the menu well and was able to help me out with some suggestions. Honestly, the menu is so extensive it was hard to choose, but here's what I went with: Fish & Chips (2 piece plate): 5/5. The batter was light yet perfectly crispy, not overly heavy, and the fish itself was fresh, flaky, and high quality. Paired with a solid tartar sauce, this is a must order dish. The French fries were classic and I loved their coleslaw. Grilled Thresher Shark Plate: 4.5/5. This one was a standout for me given how hard it is to find shark on menus nowadays. I actually grew up eating shark, so this felt super nostalgic. The staff highly recommended it, and I'm so glad I listened. The grilled shark was mild, tender, and full of flavor thanks to their delicious balsamic glaze marinade. If you've ever been curious about trying shark, this is the place to do it. I'll be back again for this soon. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying and the best part? It doesn't break the bank. Prices were reasonable and portions were generous. Definitely check them out if you haven't already, a great old school restaurant in Oxnard.

Dinner that weekend was quiet with a couple other tables occupied. The wall showcasing the generations of Otani's in Oxnard was a good read while we waited for our order. A large white board was the menu. Lots of options to pick from. However with the variety we ordered the food was just ok with the grilled snapper and fries being the stand outs. The fried fish seemed a bit too oily, the tempura batter too thick on the vegetables and the clam chowder needed more flavor. Given the years in business, I was hoping for more from the food.

Not bad, just different. It didn't like it was a happy place. We immediately were seated, looked over the menu and decided. My wife had a BLT, the bacon looked like it had been sitting out, not a fresh appearance at all. She said it had a lack luster flavor, I ordered the traditional breakfast with sausage links, scrambled eggs, hash browns and toast. Everything other than the hash browns were luke warm. Sausage appeared to have been sitting out as well, didn't seem freshly cooked. Something we usually do prior to trying different places, we look over their reviews, like I said we tried this place on a whim. We learned our lesson, with this one. It's seems like it's trying to be a bar that serves food, instead of a restaurant with a bar.

We started off with the warm, delicious bread & let me tell you -- Simplicity has never tasted better! Next, we dove in with the Happy Hour Oyster selections & stuck with those majority of the time.. Delicious! Shucked wonderfully! To allow us to explore a bit more of the menu, we had crab cakes alongside our oysters... Wonderful! They're also served on top of a small sized salad that allows for a light freshness when taking a break from the oysters. The service... Exceptional! Of course one waiter is assigned to you, but throughout your time, multiple servers to stop by to make sure you're not waiting for long if anything is needed! The environment is beautiful! Very fitting for downtown Ventura, but also not taking away from knowing that your very close to the ocean! Overall -- Amazing!
