    North Shore Garlic Shrimp
    Edward S.

    Seasurf is a chill spot for solid seafood in a beach city, offering seafood tacos, fish plates, and poke. Cioppino: The massive bowl contains a generous variety of seafood treasures. You'll be amazed by the quantity and quality of the butterflied shrimp, cherry stone clams, and little bay scallops. The near dozen mussels are sweet and plump. The squid is springy and tender. In addition, they have a bouncy fettuccine egg pasta that soaks up all the flavor of the broth and a crispy, pillowy garlic butter toast. North Shore Garlic Shrimp: It's been a while since I've had the real deal at the source, but this stacks up. They give you seven massive butterflied shrimp. The shell is extra crispy, thin, and smothered in a sticky garlic butter sauce. The flavors and textures are so good that I ended up eating the shrimp, shell and all. The sauce with black and white sesame seeds is so good with the firm sticky rice. The mac salad is also on point. What pushes this plate over the edge is the addition of two pickles, cucumbers and pink onions, for an acidic bite to counter all the delicious richness. Parking: There's a big lot connected to the restaurant, but it only has about a dozen spots. However, there's a lot of street parking in the neighborhood.

    Fish and Chips!
    Jonathan B.

    Awesome seafood spot near the beach! Fish and Chips again, who would have thought? Light and crispy, but this place uses the same batter on their fries, what a gamechanger! More surface area = more crunchy fish/fries! The line was super long, usually a good sign. Nice beach vibes, I'll definitely be back!

    Causal with lots of outdoor seating. Fresh oysters with some you can get on happy hour special! The sea bass was amazing and fish and chips the best we've ever had! I tried one of each of the oysters and wow!!! Delicious! Favorite was the garlic shrimp!!! The shell was left on but wasn't bad to eat. That's where all the flavor was so it had to be done!

    Busy spot during lunch but the wait wasn't too long. You order first at the counter and you're given a number and seat yourself. We opted to sit outside as it was nice out. The portion sizes are large. Food was flavored well. For the poke bowl, the rice to protein ratio was off as had too much rice. Plus only a few pieces of uni. I like that they have non alcoholic beer available

    Loved the Fish Tacos! We stopped on our way to San Diego. I got the Classic Fish Tacos and my wife tried the grilled. Both were amazing with lots of flavor. The chips and salsa were also very good. The service was good and there is plenty of patio seating. Parking is another story. There is limited parking in the lot, so park where you can find it around the restaurant. Overall a great place to dine.

    Oh man, did that ever hit the spot! I ordered the grilled fish tacos and they were some of the best I've ever had. The portions I thought were very generous. Service was friendly and prompt. If you get here around the lunch hour parking is next to impossible and once you do find it, be prepared to walk and to wait. It's a hotspot and worth the wait. I'm looking forward to returning. It's a nice place to stop and break up the drive on the way from LA to SD.

    I came here on Memorial Day for the happy hour! I love the happy deals here ESPECIALLY the oysters! The oysters tasted really fresh and were sweet. I also really liked the ceviche as well. Definitely a great spot to grab a bite to eat. The workers were all super helpful and friendly! Inside it is a little smaller so if you have a big group at peak hour it might be hard to find a table.

    calm chowder
    Mihoka F.

    The Boulder and I rolled in on a suspiciously perfect Monday afternoon--clear skies, good vibes, and my dog in tow (a true critic.. of me). My tall Sequoia of a date did the classic awkward shuffle at the front like, "hi, can the dog come through to the patio without causing a federal incident?" The guy we asked looked like we had just asked him to solve climate change (bc he was a customer...), but he very politely redirected us to the cashier, who was lovely. So: Kindness: 10/10. Confusion: also 10/10. ~Balance~ Now the food. The Boulder orders a fish burrito. I go for the chimichurri salmon bowl with quinoa because I, too, enjoy pretending I have my life together. BUT. The boulder also then orders clam chowder--a surprise, a moment of elation, but at the same time... skeptical? Sir? I have lamented over my favorite chowder like a woman waiting for her husband to come back from battle. Were your ears too high in elevation for my voice to reach? ANYWAYS. Let's talk about the clam chowder, because this is where things get serious. I have grown up eating clam chowder in Santa Cruz (my hometown, my birthplace, my origins). I have known greatness (shoutout to Stagnaro Bros., the downstairs fish market). So when I tell you I approached this chowder with standards, I need you to understand the weight of that statement. I put my spoon in. It did not sink. At that moment, I knew. This was not soup. This was a lifestyle. A structural entity. And it was GOOD. Creamy, thick, unapologetically clam-forward. Not quite Santa Cruz enlightenment, clouds-parting-angels-singing, but honestly? Strong contender. We're talking solid top 4-5 chowders of my life, and I do not say that lightly. Now, my salmon bowl? Good. Respectable. Salmon = crispy, quinoa = doing quinoa things (why is it always slightly annoying to eat??). Chimichurri good. The fish burrito (from my observational research + dog validation panel): packed, flaky, generous. My dog approved, which frankly is the highest honor available. Overall: Great food, great vibes, excellent chowder, and quality time with the Tall Sequoia Boulder Man™ on a random Monday. Plus points--chips looked fried on site :D

    North shore garlic shrimp, lobster pomodoro, poke nachos & classic fish taco
    sophie d.

    We LOVE Seasurf! It was our first time at this specific location and the amazing quality & flavor remained the same. We got there right when they opened and it was a little busy but our food still came out quick. It was our first time trying the lobster pomodoro pasta and it was so delicious & fresh. My absolute favorite is their north shore garlic shrimp plate, hands down 10/10 every time. Every single thing on this plate is packed with flavor, down to the pickled veggies and mac salad, it is a must have!

    Beer and decore
    Coleen S.

    Loved the salmon rice greens combo so much I may never eat salmon anywhere else again. They bring your food to you either in the back or on the front street. Very casual. Seaside decore. There was a short line but the kind, warm staff moved it along.

    Ann V.

    It was my first time at this laid-back and casual seafood eatery. Luckily, it was HH. I placed my order at the front counter then sat down until the server brought my food. There was a good menu selection with decent prices. I appreciated that the staff were helpful and friendly. The service was pretty quick too. And WOWEE, my classic fish tacos and corn elote were absolutely delicious! I'm definitely coming back!! Highly recommend to the Yelp Community :-)

    Beer on happy hour

    Amazing as always! Love the vibe on the patio. Everything is always yummy and fresh!! We got the poke nachos, calamari, and salmon bowl. 10/10! Will always keep coming back here.

    Found myself in San Clemente on a sunny Saturday afternoon with a buddy and was craving seafood. Locals raved about Seasurf fish so naturally we needed to check them out. There was a long line out the door at 12:15 pm which was a promising sign. I ordered a half dozen fresh Oysters along with the Hawaiian North Shore Garlic shrimp. The oysters were fresh and delicious. There was a hiccup with my shrimp order and it ended up taking 30 minutes for my food to come after I flagged this to the staff. This was unfortunate but they did offer me a complimentary soda after I requested this due to the inconvenience. The dish itself was very good. The shrimp was tender and flavorful and I did feel like I was back in Hawaii. Just a note, there is a sweetness to the dish that was unique as I was used to more of a garlic butter flavor base. It was still delicious. Overall this was a fun experience and glad I got to try Seasurf.

    A cute little spot in San Clemente, this place embodies everything I imagine in a beach city gem…read more The Nachos are hefty in both portions and flavor. Everything worked well together, and omg that Cheese pull. What this place IS, IS because of the details. The setup, the décor, the AMAZING workers and how cheery and helpful they were... the cucumber/lemon water, the samples of yogurt while you wait, and the hot sauce options, all make for an enjoyable experience. Good food can be found anywhere, but when you pair that with an atmosphere that is both soothing, welcoming, and charming... you've got a home run. Oh speaking of details? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE MUSIC? I don't know if it's like this everyday but the oldies playing ties everything together. Summers here have got to be magical that hit on beach city nostalgia.

Dining tables inside, but most sit in the small outdoor patio tucked neatly into the front corner of this cafe; ideal for sunny days and people-watching.

Sweet, creamy, and citrusy with a subtle tang that nailed the nostalgic creamsicle flavor. Highly recommend! THE PARKING. Street parking was available nearby, but we had to pay attention to the posted time limits because it seemed a little complicated (to me, at least). THE VERDICT. Loved the orange creamsicle shake, but I also spotted a date shake on the menu, which only means another visit is needed!

Grilled fish tacos - very fresh and good. I think there was a sauce but these were dry. It needed more sauce and some salsa. Mind you the quality was there, so I had no problem eating them. But they were a bit bland honestly. 10/10 friendly service 10/10 easability if ordering and seating. 9/10 Food This will become one of our favorite family spots no doubt. Thank you Coastal Cowboy for caring enough to be seed oil free and health conscious with your cuisine.
