The food is amazing. The blackened halibut is very tender and very savory. My hubby had 2 servings of it because it was sooo good. I had the fish & chips with cod. Delicious. The clam chowder delicious as well. Very fair price for the quality. Highly recommend it. read more

Great Poke bowl. I appreciate the different temperatures and textures. Staff seem happy too! Great view of the ocean.

Every time I come visit family I like to come to this restaurant because I have a lot of fond memories here. There isn't a bad view in the restaurant and now they have the brewery on the second floor (separate company). I got a fig and rum cocktail that was delicious and I enjoyed all the seafood like always. A bit on the pricier side. read more

If you're a fan of perfectly crispy, flavorful fish and chips, Eric Ericsson's Fish Co. is a must-visit. The jalapeño beer batter on the fish was absolutely incredible--light, crisp, and just the right amount of heat to make every bite memorable. The fish itself was tender and fresh, and the fries were golden perfection. I also tried the clam chowder, and it was equally impressive--rich, creamy, and packed with clams without being overly heavy. The atmosphere is relaxed with a great coastal vibe, and the service was warm and friendly. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. read more

Spent the day in Ventura and finished the day here on the pier. Best part of visiting Ventura is all the fresh seafood so we had to take advantage of that while we were here. We ordered the Ceviche and I ended up buying a pullover from the gift shop. Cool place! read more

Perhaps the best clam chowder in Ventura county. The view from the deck over the harbor is tremendous, especially during just before and after sunset. The reverse happy hour specials are a great value. In spite of being a very busy, hopping place the wait is very reasonable. read more

Overpriced, lousy seafood stew and halibut frozen and overcooked, would not recommend ever...the tuna poke looked very very old...

I really enjoyed my visit, the weather was perfect. The view was so beautiful and relaxing. The restaurant itself was very chill, it's wasnt super loud. Which is a huge plus for me. There's in & outdoor seating, so you can bring your fur babies here too. The food was ready in a really good time. It was super delicious and we left very satisfied. Everyone working had smiles & was super nice. Honestly 10/10 for us. read more

Good tasting, clam chowder & fish and chips . Service was great Located on the pier great day and nice breeze from the beach. I would definitely be coming back to try some different entrees on their menu. read more

Beachside/ pier vibe of course. Casual. Clean. A huge plus is having a changing table in the women's bathroom. Not sure about men's bathroom. You order at the cashier and food it brought out to you. Overall vibe was friendly. We got there a few minutes before official opening. But they let me use the bathroom to change the baby. Food was delicious for the most part. The fish (cod) and chips in jalapeño beer batter was very good! We got it with a side of sweet potato fries. We also had the shrimp/crab quesadilla which was different but couldn't taste the shrimp and crab as much as hoped. We also tried the calamari which seemed dry and maybe stale. Overall good! And we hope to try some of their other items such as the poke bowl! read more

Fish and Chips, absolutely amazing. Got a fryer boat for 2 and for $30 it was great. It came with fish, shrimp, calamari and fries. We got jalapeño batter and it was a surprise of flavor. The location is right on the pier with great views and a great vibe. You wouldn't know this place existed if you didn't walk the pier. The service was non-existent. The reason for leaving a tip when your order is because you expect some sort of service. It's unfortunate that they almost force you to leave a tip since it starts at 15% and they don't do anything but take your order. You pick up your own food, drinks, silverware, condiments, and bust/clean your own table.... The food truly saves this place, but please DO NOT LEAVE A TIP since there is no service. read more

We decided to stop by this spot for lunch as we were in the area for a different event. It wasn't too busy, we ordered our meals at the counter and were given a buzzer to notify us of when our order was ready. The clam chowder was delicious and very rich and creamy. Honestly a bowl itself is good enough as a meal. We ordered the quesadilla appetizer but honestly I wasn't a fan if it being served wet. We also got a side of sweet potato fries which wet perfectly crisped. I would definitely come back, but skip the wet sauce drenched quesadillas. read more

We were aimlessly driving around the coast in Oxnard with no destination. Until 4pm rolled around and I decided it was gin & tonic time. So I did what I usually do: I looked on Yelp. Searched for a restaurant/bar on the water and this place came up. 9 miles from where we were. So, off we drove. This place is right on the Ventura pier. We were there in a jiffy. The afternoon was grey, neither warm nor cold. The restaurant is big, with windows all around looking out at the ocean. There are also tables outside with a view of the water, beach and the pier. As it turns out, it was Happy Hour. We got a round of drinks along with the fried platter and a ceviche. Friendly bartender, friendly faces at the seafood counter too. The fried platter was really good. Piping hot and crispy and generous. The ceviche was good, not great. I went back to the bar and got one of their craft cocktails, rum with figs, lime and rosemary. Extremely delicious. Just a great place to enjoy an afternoon. read more

This place is an order at the counter and self serve place. The food is not bad but it's really a hassle to have to get back in line any time you want something else. Another drink? back in line! dessert? Back in line! It's really kills the enjoyment and vibe. Basically it's a glorified cafeteria with nice views. Not a place I would go back to or recommend. read more

I was going upstairs to Madewest and wanted some food. I had my little one as well who needed to eat. It wasn't to busy when we went. It was during the week day around 2ish. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. Once you order you can take a seat anywhere. They do have their own bar. Since I was going upstairs to MadeWest I didn't see what types of beer and drinks they offered. Their menu looks good. Has a variety of items. I got their kids chicken tenders and can't remember if it was their popcorn shrimp or beer battered shrimp I got. Order came out fairly quickly which was nice since the little one was hungry. I forgot to inform them to prepare the order to go, but it wasn't a problem. They have boxes and togo items ready for anyone to easily grab. Everything was really good and crunchy how I like. The shrimp came with your typical cocktail sauce which was really good. Chicken tenders came with ranch which was nice to also use on the shrimp. Overall, it's a nice place. Good menu items. I enjoyed what I got. I would come back. read more

Quite good, but not great. Good chowder, fish sandwich was fresh with good flavor. Salads are fresh and nicely prepared but dressings are not great. Obviously the view is better than the food. read more

This place is a gem. First the practical: park in the pier lot, grab a ticket and save it for 4 hours free parking WITH VALIDATION from restaurant. We did forget at the end and had to run back. The ocean views are incredible. There are many tables outside both upstairs and downstairs. The made west bar is upstairs and they have full liquor and beer menu. The food menu is wonderful, includes all fresh seafood options as well as burgers and chicken sandwiches with the best crispiest fries. My ahi tuna tacos with veggies and crema were delicious and fresh. My husband's shrimp po boy was amazing and spicy. We loved everything. I highly recommend this wonderful Ventura local spot. I am sure it gets crowded in the summer but in winter it was a breeze to order and plenty of tables. read more

Beautiful seafood shack on the water - affordable, delicious, and a good date spot. Kind of random, but the napkins were the nicest quality napkins I've seen at a seafood shack. Service was quick and very friendly. We ordered the clam chowder bread bowl and blackened shrimp tacos. Clam chowder was super tasty! Very creamy and nice large chunks of clam. Also, the bread bowl is a great size for how much you get and tasted high quality. These tacos were absolutely enormous and stuffed with shrimp, cabbage, and salsa. I loved the kick and consistency of the salsa - not too runny nor too chunky and went down easy with bites of shrimp. I wish the tacos were separated on two pieces of parchment however, because the salsa did leave a bit of liquid and kinda destroyed the structural integrity of the second taco, which is why 4 stars. The shrimp also tasted great, wasn't overcooked, but I think it'd taste better fried, so I'll try that next time. read more

If you're there on a weekend, be prepared to wait in a long line to order. This is an order at a counter and pick up when your buzzer buzzes. You find your own table and it's very casual. There is a separate walk up bar inside, for drinks. I had fish and chips and my friend has fish tacos. We sat outside on the pier and it was a beautiful, sunny, breezy day. Heavenly! Totally will go back! read more

First time there. The clam chowder was yummy. Lots of clams. The seared tuna sandwich and the poke tacos were excellent. And best of all, right on the beach. read more

This is a really wonderful place to go after a long day at the fairgrounds or on the beach. The fish is so incredibly fresh which is exactly what I want while eating and looking onto the beach. The calamari had an absolutely wonderful texture and so did the fries. The brussel sprouts were maybe overly seasoned with gochujang so it really because "gochujang with a side of brussel sprouts." I'm an avid poke lover so my rating of poke may be more hardcore than others. I think it's a great dish if you want to try poke or are looking to get into the world of raw fish. But as for taste, the sauce does all the flavor, everything else is plain so I'm really just tasting an overwhelming amount of siracha. I wouldn't buy this again and I'm a bit disappointed by it. I really wish I had bought the pasta or a burger instead. But my overall experience besides some of these dishes were wonderful. The view is incredible and the staff makes it really easy and fast to order. Would come here again but would definitely try something else. read more

The food is great and the service is good. Love looking out at the beach. I wasn't quite thrilled that it wasn't like a real sit down restaurant. You had to order food and then go pick it up. You went to another part to order and pick up your drink. It wasn't like that about 10 years ago. read more

First, I thought it was called Beach House Fish lol. SERVICE It deserves a 3 but due to cleanliness and ease of parking (parking lot walking distance) and being inside which helps when cold out, I moved it to a 4. Staff were great, beautiful views, and there'a another spot/bar upstairs. FOOD My food was horrible and I personally don't see myself returning. However, my two friends really enjoyed their clam chowder and margarita so that pushed it to a 4. I had the beer battered jalapeno flavored chicken which was a disappointment. It lacked portion size and flavor. I didn't taste anything and am confused on why people are enjoying it. I wished I ate chowder, but the crab legs were fine. WELL I'm not returning, but it was a nice outing with friends. It too was a place I wanted to try out for some time and glad I finally did. read more

Had a Sunday lunch here for Mother's Day. There was a very long line, but I believe that was due to it being Mother's Day. We waited in line for around 20 minutes and then another 15 minutes for our food to come out. The wait was understandable due to the day. The food was amazing. The have a jalapeño batter for the fish and chips and it was great. Added some extra spice to the meal. The steamer bowl as well was very great with the crab being the star of the show. The restaurant is a little loud, but there is plenty of seating and if you want a quieter area to sit, the upstairs outside section is a good option. It was a little windy, but if you have a jacket you will be okay. Great time! read more

The line was long, I almost walked away. We ordered shrimp and chips, clam chowder and the elote taco. Also got a couple of skinny Cadillacs. The shrimp was a solid 10. The cocktail sauce was good, fries were mediocre and the chowder was very good. Bartender did a nice job with the drinks. We were not disappointed. read more

Tried the swordfish this trip, it was outstanding. Service continues to be friendly and excellent.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Thursday night for dinner. We decided to go inside and sit down rather than order at the more casual taco shack outside. I ordered a bowl of the caldo de pescado and my boyfriend ordered the grilled Mahi fish tacos. The soup was a little oily, but it did come with a few nice pieces of fish. The fish tacos were huge and a bit hard to eat. We ordered the calamari to share, which was very good. The service was just okay. Even if you dine indoors, you still go up to the counter to order. Great view of the pier, though. read more

Everything tasted fresh as expected. They gave us a buzzer for our order once it was ready so we didn't have to wait near the counter for it . Took our food upstairs to made west to sit in their nice balcony area. We ordered: Ahi tacos were very meaty! Yumm! Oysters were fresh Ceviche and chips were good I was very confused with their name as were so many other reviewers I've seen. Their menu says Eric Ericssons. Food was fresh but the flavors were ok.

I ordered the Fryer boat basket ($30), which is suitable for two people, and I agree. It included five deep-fried shrimp, three cod fish sticks, a basket full of fries, and half a basket of calamari, lemon, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. I liked the seasoning of the calamari, and it was cooked pretty well. I wish the French fries had the same seasoning as the calamari. The problem was that the food was very oily. This makes you feel very full more quickly. The seating area has excellent views of the ocean and the shore. However, the upstairs seating is reserved for those who purchase an alcoholic beverage from the bar on the first floor. It is a cafeteria-style eatery. With a wall of sauces such as mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, Tabasco, and siracha. The parking lot is a short walk from the pier but at $10. read more

Great seafood place on the Ventura Pier. Keep in mind the place is actually on the pier and has no visual signage from the beach or street. You order food at the counter and there is a separate bar to order alcoholic drinks. Both the food cashier and bartender were very friendly. When you pay at the counter, the screen will ask you to leave a tip automatically popping up with options starting at 15%, 18%, then 20%. It is becoming extremely common for fast casual counter service restaurants to request a tip at the same percentages of sit down restaurants. The counter service here was extremely friendly, yet as a customer being asked to leave an extra tip, usually there is extra service. At this place, you seat yourself, get the food yourself, bus the table yourself, and not one employee stopped by the table. So I'm not really sure what the extra tip is for since there was no extra service. My friend and I split the Fryers Basket for $30 and it was delicious and a great value. We chose the Jalapeño batter which was excellent and gave it a kick but not too spicy. The fish was extremely fresh and crispy on the outside and flaky and soft on the inside. We sat outside and it was a great view, although a little overcast chilly with the marine layer. I definitely recommend this place and only took away one star because of the automatic tip request on the pay screen when no workers ever stepped in front of the counter to provide any extra service. read more

On Sat Dec 14th I visited this restaurant along with my wife and a friend. Naturally I had my beloved Steamer Bowl and somehow my wedding band ended up falling from my finger into the bowl. I only realized it happened a little later, already on my way back home in LA. My wife called the restaurant and a girl answered the phone explaining they were busy at that time with a large party, but they would check it later and call back if found. We were both sure it was lost, because once you have leftovers from shellfish, we assume you just toss it away. I was beyond sad... we got this band on our 20th anniversary... it is really special. For our surprise, next day we were watching TV and my wife noticed she had a missing call with a message. She called back and it was Rob... St Rob... he heard the metallic clink, found the ring, hold it and called us. We couldn't believe it. We hopped in the car and headed up immediately. That was beyond amazing. After thanking him a lot, I tried giving him a little token of our appreciation which he strongly refused saying he was just doing what he supposed to do. I really can't thank him enough for this classy lesson of how friendly and caring customer service can be. And OF COURSE we will continue returning... after all... I LOVE my bowl... read more

You're coming here for the views. For food look elsewhere. The snapper tacos look beautiful but that's all that can be said in the positive. They are 75% salsa with nearly no snapper.

I really hope manage reads reviews and tastes the food that's coming out because this is was very disappointing. read more
