A Salinas tradition
rooted in the bay

Sea Harbor Fish Market And Restaurant has been a cornerstone of the Salinas seafood community for generations. We source our catch directly from local fishermen who know these waters intimately — from the cold currents of Monterey Bay to the rich estuaries of the Salinas River.

What sets us apart is our dual promise: the market offers the same day's catch you'd find on any restaurant plate, and our kitchen prepares every dish with the same care and respect for the ingredient. Whether you're grabbing fish for dinner at home or sitting down to a full meal, the quality is identical.
