I liked this chowder, it wasn't thick or starchy like what some seafood restaurants serve. There was also a good ratio of clams and potatoes.
You can order 1, 2 or 3 pieces of fish. I've had many a fish and chips in my life and I have to say that this was definitely up on my list of favorites. The breading was fried to a golden brown perfection and crunchy on the outside. Each piece of cod was large and the fish was soft, flaky and delicate. Usually frying a fish can mask the piece of fish, but you could tell that the cod was very fresh. The fries were also good despite not being my favorite skinny fries. I thought the prices were very reasonable. The 1 piece and fries was only $5.75 while the 3 pieces was $11.50.
Visually, this wasn't what I was expecting. They looked like jalepeno poppers instead of oysters.
The burger patty was made with ground tuna and spice (it's not served as a seared tuna filet). The patty was well seasoned and juicy. The tomato slices and lettuce were fresh and not sweated, although there was a touch too much mayo. This is a delicious alternative to a fried seafood dish.
Malibu Seafood was the perfect lunch spot after a surf down the street. The location is pretty awesome with the gorgeous views of the ocean and a picnic area where you can catch some rays. It's really not that far from the Westside when there aren't any accidents on the 405 (18 miles from Brentwood) and is the perfect weekend afternoon stop on your drive along the coast. The seafood was fresh and reasonably priced. The fish and chips were excellent, and BYOB rocks! If you're looking for the quintessential SoCal beach meal, Malibu Seafood is the place for you. If you're in need of some awesome grub after a day out in the ocean, look no further. Or if you're looking for something comforting after getting stitched up by the doctor, you won't be disappointed.
Hits: BYOB, fish and chips, prices
