When the King brothers branched out from their Long Beach home to the tonier climes of Santa Monica, they knew that their seafood expertise would be tested. The result was this wide-open, simply designed restaurant where the whole point was ultra-fresh fish expertly prepared. While time has taken the cutting-edge diners to newer and more elaborate locations elsewhere, Ocean Avenue Seafood remains the finest in quality. Start with smoked trout, lobster taquitos or wasabi-crusted ahi. Some of the many entrées include Oregon king salmon and sesame-crusted rare ahi in an Asian vinaigrette. There is also a helpful wine list that suggests fish and wine pairings. |
