Santa Monica Seafood, and Favorite Seafood Sources of Los Angeles

Santa Monica Seafood is the source of premium fish for some of Los Angeles' greatest restaurants, and local gourmets since 1939. Family pride, four generations of involvement with international fisheries, and respect for the environment shows in their commitment to sustainability, and is proven by their involvement in a number of wild and farmed certifying agencies. Santa Monica seafood understands that honoring the Seas, and being environmentally conscious is an ongoing process of increasing awareness, and making the necessary changes in all aspects of their business to be 'green'. They support the Seafood Choices Alliance, and recently became involved with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Sustainable Seafood Initiative.
Please support Santa Monica Seafoods dedication to the environment by purchasing seafoods marked sustainable, or ask the friendly and knowledgeable staff to help with your selections.

Ultra premium sushi chefs keep their sources secret, but the sources are clustered downtown in the wholesale district, 3rd to 7th streets, and Los Angeles to Alameda. To find these secret sources start early, like 4a.m., and note the whsl district is in and around skid row, so bring some blankets or anything else you would like to donate to those less fortunate, consider it an offering to the fish gods and goddess'.
