A little bit coastal and a whole lot of a party, Christopher Tompkins’s former seafood pop-up is now tucked into the back corner of Malibu Village, where lines form daily just before opening with hungry day-trippers hoping to score some of the city’s best East Coast-style seafood. The casual, open-air atmosphere is the perfect setting to grab a beer and one of our favorite lobster rolls in town (available warm and buttered or chilled with a thin sheen of mayo). Sustainably farmed oysters come freshly shucked and sourced from around the globe, while heartier specials hit the grill: buttery, herbed-up razor clams; panko breadcrumb-dusted blue crab cakes; a meaty burger with shio kombu. Good luck not ordering the whole menu every visit. When a beach day’s not in the cards, you can also find Broad Street inside Downtown’s Grand Central Market and at Smorgasburg LA every Sunday.
