Seafood Restaurants in California
When Guy Fieri cruises along California’s stunning coastline, he knows the Golden State serves up some of the freshest catches in the country. From 2009 to 2023, the Mayor of Flavortown has featured 17 seafood destinations across California on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, with 15 still dishing out their ocean-fresh creations today. These aren’t your average fish joints—they’re averaging an impressive 4.5-star rating from devoted fans who keep coming back for more.
Los Angeles leads the pack with four featured spots, while San Francisco, San Diego, and Monterey each boast multiple Triple D appearances. Among the standouts, Café Rolle in Sacramento tops the charts with a stellar 4.8-star rating, while San Diego’s Bluewater Seafood Market & Grill and Blue Water Seafood follow close behind. Whether it’s perfectly grilled fish tacos, buttery cioppino, or creative seafood fusion, these California gems prove that when it comes to fruits of the sea, the West Coast does it best.
