Best Seafood Restaurant
Monterey’s Fish House
2114 Del Monte Ave., Monterey

Monterey’s Fish House knows how to keep the crowd hooked (often in a line outside the door), like a one-ring circus – seafood. This beloved local treasure has deep roots in Monterey’s fishing and restaurant scene, which the menu celebrates with fresh seafood prepared simply but deliciously on an oak-fired grill or in traditional seafood pasta dishes. This is the kind of place that does one thing and does it well. Sure, you will find a Cesar salad and some garlic bread, but this menu puts seafood center ring.
