Enjoy Sensational Seafood in Santa Barbara

Just off of Santa Barbara’s shores is a hotbed of some of the most coveted seafood along the Western seaboard.

The Santa Barbara Channel creates the perfect place for uni (sea urchin), abalone, crab, lobster and a variety of other fish. Fishermen bring in their catches daily, unloading on the docks in the Harbor along Santa Barbara’s Waterfront, just down the road from Stearns Wharf and many local advocacy groups and environmental stewardship programs promote sustainable seafood harvesting practices.

Make the most of your seafood soiree in Santa Barbara with a stop at the Santa Barbara Harbor and Stearns Wharf where you’ll find authentic fish ‘n chips-style dining. Follow that up with a visit to State Street. Many downtown restaurants specialize in California coastal cuisine, from traditional dishes to contemporary flavor fusion.
