Our Market, Café and Oyster Bar History Santa Monica Seafood started on the Santa Monica Pier selling the freshest seafood both to restaurants and customers who visited the pier. We may have moved more than once but we still offer our customers great seafood from each of our two Southern California retail locations. Customers can shop in person at our stores, order to dine-in or for take-out, have prepared seafood dishes delivered to their home or office, and place online orders for party platters. You’ll find our current market and café experience a far cry from the old wooden Santa Monica Pier but our commitment to selling the freshest seafood anywhere has never changed.
