Description:
WEST LOS ANGELES. This understated spot doesn't even have its name on the sign – look instead for a rustic sketch of a fish. The minimalist interior features simple table and bar seating in order to place focus on the exquisite food. In fact, presentation of some of the city's freshest seafood is so breathtaking that diners have been known to comment that they didn't know whether to eat it or frame it. Try octopus carpaccio, broiled prawns, or fabulously fresh sashimi. Order a Kirin beer to highlight the flavors. |

Description:
BEVERLY HILLS. Bon Appetit meets Town & Country at this trendy Euro-Asian seafood restaurant and bar. A two-level re-enactment of a Vietnamese dinner club, it's where beautiful people meet beautiful food. Dungeness crab with An's secret garlic sauce or sake-simmered crab will make you salivate on the spot. Garlic noodles are justifiably famous, and every Asian tapas is carefully prepared and presented. For dessert, try the Music Box or the special trio of sorbets – they're a perfect ending to a memorable meal. The trendier you look, the better your table. |

Description:
WEST HOLLYWOOD. This casual, kosher spot is popular with the lunch crowd, who mainly carry out delicious, simply-grilled fish dishes. Generous portions of tuna, trout, and salmon arrive with hot, fresh fries on the side (or rice pilaf, for a healthier choice). Salads topped with grilled fish filets come with a sweet honey-dijon dressing. Sides include cole slaw and baked potatoes. A great choice for a quick, healthy, and cheap meal. |

Description:
MELROSE. Only the freshest seafood makes its way to Providence's coveted tables. This charming New American spot serves a mixture of hot selections and raw, cold ones – both excellent, according to regulars. Start with an indulgent appetizer of foie gras sauté served with braised quince and port wine before feasting on dishes like lobster with cinnamon-scented butternut squash or New Zealand tai snapper accompanied by a compote of vine-ripened tomatoes. Lunch selections – offered only on Friday – are on the lighter side, but the quality of the seafood remains excellent. |

Description:
HOLLYWOOD. East Coast-style seafood travels west to this hip, casual restaurant. Oysters, clams, and crab cakes are stars of the dinner menu – try Dungeness crab with black rice and spicy coconut sauce or a half-pound of deliciously fresh peel-and-eat shrimp. If you're more into turf than surf, the "Pug Burger" – bacon, avocado, and blue cheese – has your name on it. Lunch and Sunday brunch also bring crowds to the tiny spot, so make reservations early. If the weather permits, take a seat on the laid-back patio. |

Description:
Malibu locals flock to this casual joint – right off the famed PCH – to sample classic West Coast comfort food on the oceanfront patio. The concept is simple: just step up to the counter and place your order for fish taquitos, classic fish-n-chips, peel-and-eat shrimp, or fresh Maine lobster. A market-style atmosphere pervades, which is appropriate since the place doubles as a real fish and seafood market. Patrons expecting white linens and fine china should prepare themselves for a slightly more casual affair – yes, those are picnic tables. The BYO policy is a lifesaver for folks who can't imagine calamari without a good white wine. |
