Cruise down PCH until you see the billboard of a large, leisure-inclined lobster sporting a Hawaiian shirt and a drink in its claw—that’s when you know you’ve hit Malibu’s fried-fish motherload. This tiny seafood shack and market has been serving some of the area’s freshest fish, clams, crab and squid since 1972. The deep-fried fish and chips is the classic order here, but the grilled tuna, crab salad or steamed clams also hit the spot. Whatever your order, grab it from the window and take a seat on the expansive patio and enjoy the ocean view. Then, grab a raw fillet or a whole fish, some soft-shell crabs or shellfish from the market on your way out. (Your future self will thank you.)
