Featured Spot of the Week: Santa Barbara Shellfish Company

On Wednesdays at Marina Beach Motel, we pick a local business or attraction as our featured spot of the week. We do this to support our neighbors and to provide our guests with a guide for where to go during their stay in Santa Barbara. This week we’re featuring a local favorite and a must-try when it comes to fresh-caught seafood: Santa Barbara Shellfish Company.

Santa Barbara Shellfish Company is located on the famous Stearns Wharf, and has been there for nearly four decades. It started out as a simple wholesale fish market and grew into a full-blown restaurant with a variety of dishes and friendly staff.

Their atmosphere is casual and fun, great for families and even dates. They serve a wide variety of seafood dishes, so no one will go home hungry! People typically come here for lunch, but they’re also open for dinner. Plus they have a dog friendly patio, so your furry friend doesn’t feel left out during your meal.

It’s a truly unique little spot and it’s well-loved by locals and tourists alike. So come visit this gem during your next visit to Santa Barbara. You’ll be glad you did! And if you’re still looking for a place to stay, book a room at Marina Beach Motel today.
