Sea Salt Fish Grill

When you’re steps away from the Pacific, there’s something that just feels right about dining on the ocean’s bounty. Sea Salt Fish Grill in Santa Monica delivers exactly that—fresh, no-fuss seafood at prices that won’t make you wince. This casual counter-service spot has carved out a niche as the neighborhood go-to for quick, quality fish without the white-tablecloth markup.

The menu covers all the coastal classics you’d expect. Fish and chips come out hot and crispy, poke bowls offer a lighter option packed with fresh flavors, and the fish tacos hit that perfect balance of seasoned fish and bright toppings. But the real move here is the grilled fish plate—a simple combination of expertly cooked fish alongside rice and vegetables that manages to feel both wholesome and satisfying.

This is the kind of place where you order at the counter, grab a number, and settle into a relaxed meal without any pretense. It’s ideal for a solo lunch break when you want something better than a sad desk salad, or for a quick bite during a day spent exploring the Santa Monica area. The vibe is decidedly casual—think beach town energy rather than date-night ambiance.

If you’re looking for an affordable seafood option that prioritizes fresh flavors over fancy presentations, Sea Salt Fish Grill delivers. It won’t change your life, but it will leave you satisfied and ready to continue your day by the coast.
