    King salmon--made excellent sushi
    Melody E.

    First time going and what a treat! I mentioned I was making sushi and he brought out a huge king salmon! Replaced my tail piece with a primo piece. Sushi was excellent. Will be back on the regular! Thank you so much

    Rick with an amazingly delicious salmon filet!

    I see that the salmon is wild, what about the other fish and seafood? Is the shrimp farmed or wild caught?

    Everything is wild.

    I was just a little girl when I got hooked on their smoked salmon & now I go as a weekly staple for my house.

    My first time and it was absolutely delicious . . …read more Caleb is only 25 but he is truly a Master Sushi Chef. I was very impressed and it was the freshest sushi in all of Ojai. I ordered the sushi salad and it was perfect.

Ten years later we gave Sea Fresh another try, no changes. Thrity+ years later, I brought my parent's. They aren't Sushi people but love Fish & Chips. We all ordered this, swapped a Caesar salad for the house salad. Great choice! Seriously some of the best Fish & Chips we've had, (I was a commercial fisherman in AK). I've had lots of Fish & Chips in my life. BTW salad was good as well. My issue is the Sushi. I ordered 2 simple rolls of Sushi & they weren't edible. I tried one piece of each roll, spit them into my napkin. I've had better 2 day old gas station sushi. I will definitely will go back for the Fish & Chips. Our server was great, even took the Sushi off the bill. I won't name them, I don't want any trouble for them removing item's. There is a great Sushi place in Ojai. I'm sure I can't name them, but they're not on Main Street. Last issue is the fishy smell when you walk in. Fresh fish should not smell fishy!! It should smell Sea Fresh! I wonder if this is why the name was chosen?

You don't need anything else but just a spoon or chopsticks since they're so delicate. Price: $18.95 + tax per sea urchin. As of April 2026. Also try the prepacked halibut ceviche $18.95/lb or ahi poke salad $25.95/lb. You can just get a small container for like $8. Parking is $3.50/hour on the main harbor, in front of the water. If you're lucky you can score free parking right before entering the lot.

We went specifically for fresh live uni, but unfortunately they did not get any in that day. So I would suggest calling first before heading over if you are very rigid in what you are ordering. The fresh uni is SO popular so best to double check first. However, if you do snag their fresh uni, it's more than $10 less than another place I won't mention on Stearns Wharf - that's a big win! We ended up getting a whole lot of cod to munch on instead. We got a whole pound's worth of smoked black cod - half candy flavored and half savory flavored for $32 with tax & tip. Absolutely loved them both and prices seemed great for such well flavored, fresh fish. We liked the candy a touch more than the savory but enjoyed both. Staff was pleasant enough, plus they have a bench outside that we sat at for a few minutes to eat. I'd love to go back in the future and try their acclaimed live uni~!

    Super happy that we have a seafood city in the 805. I have been on the late train of checking this…read morespot out but finally made it in today for a grocery run. I'd been doing Instacart orders from them but first time physically inside this weekend to check them out. The inside was super super clean. Major points there! In the time I was shopping around they had plenty of staff working, floors being mopped and all of the aisles were well organized and pretty. This market is a pretty standard Asian goods focused grocery store. I found about 85% of what I wanted here. I wish they had a premium sushi section and some more Hawaiian imported goods (aside from juices and sauces) but otherwise I was able to find everything I was looking for. Their hot bar is also solid. A wide selection of items to pick and I felt the pricing was reasonable. Actually throughout the whole store the prices are good compared to other grocery stores right now. I had a full bag of items for $50, good luck elsewhere getting those kinds of prices. I didn't have too much of an interaction with the staff while there, but again, lots of people working and keeping this spot in tip top shape. Also the woman working the register who checked me out was very nice. A great supermarket and I'll definitely be back more often now since checking them out.

    I've been to Seafood City multiple times, but one Saturday night was for their Late Night Madness…read moreevent. My friend and I arrived at 8pm, checked into the event with a free ticket she downloaded from another app (I unfortunately for got the name of the app). It was pretty busy already with folks enjoying the DJ's tunes, filipino food and overall vibes. I bought the traditional Halo halo dessert (see my pic) and it was decent. Through out the night there was free gifts, contests and lots of dancing. Overall fun family event to enjoy. Seafood City is located in a strip mall. Lots of free parking. I occasionally shop here for speciality asian items that I couldn't find at Island Pacific. Prices are a bit steeper here. Service is decent here, for both the food court and supermarket.

We held out on eating out and this was so worth it, just perfect and quality. Future birthdays and family gatherings will be here! First day we got happy hour oysters, uni, crab claw, fish and chips, bowl of chowder. Oysters were so fresh and delicious. Uni was remarkably sweet and creamy and sea fresh. Perfect fry on the fish and fries complemented raw plate. Chowder also delicious. Everything came out quickly and looked so good I didn't know where to start! We came back the next day as part of our staycation:) we got some more oysters because why not! lobster roll was the highlight, buttery roll and packed full of lobster. Calamari was great, loved the addition of fried peppers. Fish market really has their fry nailed down. Albacore crudo was good but our least favorite, would have preferred a more delicate marinade over the soy chili crunch and will likely order sashimi next time instead The guy helping us out at the cashier was super welcoming. Service was friendly and no frills just the way we like it! Thanks for the fun time out!

The folks working there were friendly and welcoming. The fish displays had good variety and the diver scallops were HUGEEEEEE. Ordered to eat in: lobster roll, fish and chips, bowl of chowder, and a side Caesar. Came out to just under $70...felt pricey. When the food came out, the lobster roll was a fair size, chowder was generous, the fish and chip was HUUUUGGGEE. The side salad was a generous portion, worthy of being an entree size. The food was good, outside seating allowed our furbaby got to hang out with us. Help yourself water, and they had a dog bowl, bonus points! We'll come back next time we are in town to visit family.
