Normita’s Surf City Taco. Hole in the wall spot. Fish tacos are served fried. They are big and it’s cash only.
I also like Bear Flag Fish Co in Pacific City. Their fish tacos, ceviche and guppy plates for kids are what we get.

Sonny’s for Italian, south of Nicks for overly expensive Americanized but delicious food, Pedro’s for cheap fast food, fishermen’s for on the pier/total sc vibes. Dana point for Gianas!! Now hikes, Laguna beach has amazing hikes!! I suggest those more than sc. but the beach trail is pretty.

Satoshi is my favorite. My gf and I eat there a ton and order postmates also. Always super fresh fish (I've worked on fishing boats for 20 years if that means anything) and nice service..the salmon is always so fresh and buttery. Highly recommend!

Calico fish house on PCH has great seafood food and large patio seating. They don’t have water views, however.

The closest one to campus is Pho Ovilia, which is next to the 99cent store. The same plaza as five guys and yoshinoya. Personally I'm not a big fan of their pho so if you're looking for convenience this is the spot.
Another one is next to Honda-ya next to target on Yorbalinda and placentia. its…

Captain Jacks in Sunset Beach for crab legs. Not in HB, but San Pedro Fish Market in Long Beach has a view of the harbor, outdoor seating, fresh fish, etc. And also not in HB, Water Grill across from South Coast Plaza is a higher end seafood spot with amazing food.

Best grilled: Baja Fish Tacos near CHOC
Ensenada-style: Ensenada’s Surf n’ Turf near CSUF

Ok I am going to suggest Mariscos Los Corales
The one in Huntington Beach is on Palmdale off of Warner. They have two other trucks and the one in Santa Ana on Pine Ave is the best (Their fish filets are bigger).
Beware the green salsa they serve with it is very spicy.
