My good friends turned me onto this place after visiting them at a local farmers market in Hollywood. I live in Moorpark and was happy to find this place has a brick-and-mortar less than 15 minutes from my house. They have a really good selection of sushi, great fish and it's always fun to grab some and do homemade sushi days nights. read more

West Coast Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Simi Valley, California

This place is phenomenal!!! I was craving sushi but really wanted to try making my own, plus I wanted some of my favorites (halibut and yellowtail) which can get very expensive at a sushi restaurant. I found this place and drove 20 minutes and it was beyond worth it. The owner helped me pick out pieces and amounts and trimmed them up for me beautifully, and even threw in a free small piece for me to try! The place was clean and none of the fish smelled fishy at all, crazy fresh!! I ended up getting tuna, salmon, halibut, yellowtail, and scallop. I bought way too much but it was still far cheaper than going out to sushi. I had a blast making the dishes and sauces!!! Thank you sooo much! read more

The reason why I think the fishes are way over expansive because they are not wild caught, the salmons esp the King salmon. they say is wild caught but found out 2 years later, have always been farm raised. because on their website says wild caught fish and did not mention farm raised, when asking before paying they said wild caught. also display does not say farm raised. read more

Holy cow! This place rocks! 10/10 Kind and helpful staff, beautiful pieces of fresh fish. Made sushi with my fiancée and took home a 1/2 lb of Salmon, Tuna and Yellow Tail. We felt spoiled rotten it was so damn good. I believe the person who helped us out was Ramsey. He was awesome and helped us get exactly what we needed for a special dinner in. Will be back again and again. read more

West Coast Seafood - Tuna sashimi - Seafood Markets Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Open Thursday-Sunday so you have to plan accordingly. The selection of fish is outstanding. Lots of sushi grade options. All the fish is fresh. It's pricey but it's worth it. The whole Dungeness crabs are to die for. They also have cleaned crab meat for sale. They have caviar. read more

In a strip mall off the suburban sprawl of Simi Valley lies a place where the sea still speaks--a stark, spotless shrine to all things scaled and sacred. West Coast Seafood is no glossy supermarket display. No piped-in music. No baskets of faux lemons for effect. Just shimmering glass cases filled with the ocean's finest offerings and a crew of expert fishmongers who handle tuna the way a violinist handles a Stradivarius. Marilyn, the captain of this salty vessel, has been at the helm for decades. Kind, sharp, and deeply respected, she's the type of person who can tell you whether today's king salmon came from Alaska or your imagination. Hamachi? Yes. King salmon? Naturally. Mussels, clams, oysters? Yes, yes, and oh-my-God yes. But let's not mince words: the ahi is what dreams are made of. Ruby red. Pristine. The kind of fish that makes you question every prior decision not to eat fish today. I take mine just barely seared--kissed by flame, sliced like velvet--and serve it with a mound of jasmine rice and a crisp slaw, as though I've earned it after a long voyage across the Pacific. West Coast Seafood is no-frills. But it doesn't need frills. It has Marilyn. It has freshness. It has ahi that could convert the unconverted. This is Simi's hidden coastline. And it's worth anchoring for. read more

I know I'm over the moon because where I live doesn't have fish of this quality, combined with the fact they've been in business since the year I was born (that tidbit sent a wave of glee down my spine!), tells me they that have maintained a level of unparalleled quality for all this time. The brick and mortar store is only open Thursday-Sunday, but they hit up several farmer's markets, from Ventura to Long Beach. I was hoping they do the Wilson Park Saturday market as I'm often in Torrance on weekends, but they did mention they're at Redondo Beach. I'll Google to see when that one is. Anyway, we knew we wanted to eat everything raw so we asked what they had that day that was sashimi-grade. We got scallops and salmon, everything being wild caught. Both were buttery, melt-in-my-mouth delicious and worth every penny. Easily the best scallops I've ever had. For the worst, check out my Coasterra review. :) I saw a lady put in an order for fish; the daughter of the owner calling around to family members at the farmers markets to ensure they could hold the fish for the customer. I loved learning that it's a family-run business! The shop itself was much tinier than expected. But, if you don't see something, you can ask about it because they might have it in the freezer. And everything, I mean everything was spotlessly clean. That amazed me because I used to work at a 99 Ranch and I remember there being blood on the cutting boards and I'd even come home with fish-stained clothes. In a sea of box-chain and over-priced speciality grocers in the area, this fish shop is a true gem. I'm all for supporting small businesses and I look forward to supporting them in the future. Pros: - friendly - quality and freshness - lots of parking - Cons: - limited days open - not in Oceanside :) read more

West Coast Seafood - Sashimi grade, wild caught salmon and scallops! So fresh! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Bring your credit card . Inflation has greatly hit seafood markets. 1# of large scallops (12-16/lb ) and 2 Each Giant Crab legs $191 . For NYE dinner for 4 , just the seafood . Hoping it's the crowning jewel of my dinner . Update: As it turned out it was the crowning jewel of dinner the crab legs were so delicious and nothing had a "fishy" odor when i opened the packages or the shells . Extremely fresh fish comes at a hefty price but it was worth it. Thankfully the weather cooperated and we grilled the scallops . We will return as the service was excellent , you are greeted when you walk in the door by a lovely lady who helped pack my crab legs and the gentleman who helped me was also great . read more

If you love seafood, you have got to stop by and see Marilyn! There is nothing out here in California that can compare to the seafood she sells. The very best! If you like smoked salmon, locks, or Chilean sea bass, or jumbo shrimp and salmon check out her store or find her at one of the Los Angeles farmers markets. read more

Friendly and informative staff. Very clean facility and fresh fish. A+. I can in looking for rainbow trout. They were sold out. I ended up getting a striped bass for my dinner. read more

Their brick-and-mortar store is open Thursday-Sunday however they can be found at multiple farmer's markets around LA. I had the pleasure of dealing with them at the West Hollywood farmer's market (Mondays, 9am-2pm). They wowed me in every regard. SERVICE: They were efficient and friendly. They also really hooked me up. I didn't notice that they had a $20 credit card minimum so I was scrambling to find the cash for my $11 purchase. I had $9 left in my wallet (after buying a few other items at the market). They told me to just "pay them next week." Even after I told them that I don't live in the area, they let me have the fish for $9. It was really nice of them and I will be sure to pay them back the $2 next time I encounter them. PRODUCT: Fantastic quality. I bought a little over a pound of Alaskan cod. Cooked it with butter, herbs, and a little bit of flour on each side. It came out so delicious that I almost couldn't believe that I cooked it myself. It flaked in large, robust chunks. The texture and flavor were just perfect. SELECTION/PRICES: They had a large menu of fish and seafood. Good seafood is not cheap but they offered a few specials/deals including items that were $8-10 per pound. I highly recommend this business! Excellent product, fair prices, and fantastic service. read more

I've had a lot of food and a lot of fish in my life.. but the fish from West Coast Seafood is the best fish I've ever had! Marilyn is such a nice person and every one working there is so kind and has a great energy about them! But the fish is beyond amazing and I recommended it to every one! Thank you West Coast Seafood read more

We love, love, love this place! We go every weekend for fresh, excellent quality fish and it they have a great variety. They get everything whole and filet in house. Also will try to get any special requests you have. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!! (Picture shows variety of what rotates through their store!) read more

Update: the staff is always friendly here, and the seafood is still very fresh! Yes, the prices are going to cost more per pound than the most commonly known warehouse, but I can definitely taste the difference. They also sell sushi-grade fish, and the fish smells fresh and "not fishy". In the case you're not local to here, they also sell at a lot of local farmer's market too. Tip - call ahead to find out what they have before you stop by! They only open Thurs-Sun. read more

Superb Fish Quality.... We usually get the Crab and Shrimp. The smoked Salmon lox are the best I have ever had. It is worth the drive from the valley to Simi for fresh fish. Just don't forget - they are only open Thursday thru Sunday. They sell fish at a few Farmers Markets too. read more

We drive from Santa Clarita to Simi Valley just to get seafood from these guys. They are knowledgeable and friendly, and their fish is top notch. Everything we've purchased from them was delicious. Good fish isn't cheap, but these guys are priced fairly (for excellent fish) and I also got sand dabs from them for a REALLY affordable price and they were excellent. Bottom line: we love these guys and will drive however long we need to in order to get their fish. Great recommendations on how to cook and more - just ask! read more

They have an excellent selection of fresh sashimi quality fish. They are very service oriented and friendly. We have always been very happy with our purchase. read more

We go to West Coast literally every week for their yellow tail, and it is always amazing. Sushi grade, cut perfectly. The service is great and they let you call ahead to reserve cuts. Highly recommend!!! Best fish in Simi!! read more

Picked up some Yellow tail from the Santa Clarita farmers market for Poke bowl...wow wow wow...incredibly fresh. Buttery and beautiful flavor exactly what we were looking for! Also pick up some snow crab salad which was a great impulse buy. read more

I've been buying fresh fish here for a few years and it is always a fantastic experience. Friendly staff, great quality fish, and I always ask for the recommendation of the house. Also, if you love salmon half as much as I do, this is the place! read more

Love this place! They don't have labels or prices listed, but will tell you how much something is if you ask. Everything is super fresh and sashimi/sushi grade has others have mentioned. The family that runs the place is really nice and friendly and helpful. I have been to similar shops were they refuse to sell under 1 pound of fish or cut the fish for you into smaller pieces. No such problems here; they were very accommodating. I paid around $20 a pound for Alaskan King salmon both times I came here which is a super reasonable price for the freshness and quality (and actually cheaper to what you'll find for this kind of stuff elsewhere, at least in my experience). The salmon was wild-caught Alaskan salmon so you are getting sustainable fish, supporting fishermen and family owned businesses, and know you aren't getting any weird additions in your fish.The fish is so good that I just seared the salmon with a little bit of salt and it didn't need to add much else. I also bought scallops here a few years ago and they were the best scallops I have ever had. They are only open Friday-Sunday (they sell at farmer's markets on other days) and for now just have mostly fresh fish and a few prepared things like crab salad and lox. They also sell wine and beer. I was told they would start selling more cooked items in the spring so that is definitely something to check out once they start that. read more

Still waiting for this place to become a restaurant. Right now it's just a fish store. They had some pre-prepared stuff to buy and eat, but nothing they'd cook. The lady behind the counter was super nice, and explained all the reasons they weren't a restaurant. Apparently they're waiting on the Board of Health to inspect. Nice lady, nice place. When it's a restaurant I'll review again. Totally gonna go back. read more

West Coast Seafood - Restaurant still "soon" - Seafood Markets Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Best fresh fish in Simi and the best fish I've ever eaten. Marilyn's restaurant is excellent as well. Absolutely huge, sharable portions perfectly cooked. They don't have a huge selection. What's available is the freshest of fresh. Prices are a bit higher than other places but it is well worth it! Patronize both the fish market and restaurant. We need to keep her in business! read more

I was there today and the guy serving the food was so incredibly rude and impatient with a customer in line. It was not the way you treat customers and I will never be returning. I would give them zero stars but this review won't let you post it if you don't at least give one star. ZERO stars for this restaurant! read more

Fish fresh and delicious, but prices inexplicably high. $45/pound for swordfish at Hollywood farmer's market when Glendale's Fish King has the same high-quality fish (skin off, bloodline removed) for $26/pound. Or, for even lower prices, try wholesaler Universal Seafood in N. Hollywood if you can buy in quantity. Pristine fish, shellfish (Maine lobster) & special orders for 40% of what you'll pay at West Coast. read more

Was at the farmer's market and the employee was very rude to another customer patiently waiting in line. The employee would continuously help everyone around the customer despite her being there first. Would recommend spending your money somewhere else where they show kindness and respect to everyone. read more

Craving some oysters so I yelp'ed my local seafood shop and found this sweet hidden gem. Didn't feel shucking them so the dude at the shop recommend the oysters that had already been shucked and pre-packaged. Went with his advice and wow were they great!

Sweet people. Well priced. They take their fish seriously, as do I. Clean. Generous. Delicious.

Nice people & the seafood is good. But the business is disrespectful to the people of Simi Valley Valley. We only get fish that is leftover from their other business concerns. So you end up with few selections. Today they are supposed to be open at 11. No one showed up and they might be open at 3. How can anyone plan? It's truly a shame. You can believe what you want to believe about your store's performance. I can tell you I used to go every weekend but because of supply problems stopped. To think I go the grocery store over you gives you an idea of your lack of concern for your customers. If that is your business model that's fine but never say you service your Simi Valley customers first because that is a flat out lie. Downgraded to 1 star because the owner clearly fails to accept the truth regarding this store. If your lucky enough to find them open and have any product consider yourself lucky. Again this is a shame because the fish is good & the people are nice. Except whoever is responding to this review probably calling the shots. They are clearly in denial! Because Marylin would never respond this way. read more

I've been buying seafood from here for about ten months now. I've bought octopus that was extremely fresh and tender.

The fish is so fresh every time I go in and the crew is very professional and Knowledgeable.
