Phil's Fish Market & Eatery

We love driving from the bay for the seafood here. It’s so fresh, and we love the cippiono, oysters, and especially the oyster shooter (with the Bloody Mary and shrimp being a great alternate too). We miss their old awesome location on the beach, but the food is well worth the drive. And yes they’ve had their bar open since mid 2025 despite what Google AI is saying about it being gone.

first visit great find from a travel show. good wine beer menu options. tasty dishes! big servings family style / high recommendation - good menu options good fair prices - can get busy unexpected restaurant type at this town well do enjoy - a bowl size is made for two persons

For better or worse, this location got a bigger space but it does not have the same feel like the old location. The setting between ordering food and drinks is weird and confusing. I noticed that they got lots and lots of items on the menu now, including Seafood Bouillabaisse. I don’t recall having such menu in the old location, we simply just ordered from the big board above the counter. And the menu was just one page, two the most, with one page dedicated to Cioppino. Anyway, We want Cioppino because that is what we remember about Phil. Not anymore. If I remember correctly, the Cioppino from the old location used to be, not as red, yellowish and flavorful. The Cioppino we got this time was red, very tomato-y and was not just alright. I wonder if they took out the saffron and fennel

Always a hit when we go here. Cioppino is a hit here. The halibut and fries were flaky, flavorful wonders. Blue point oysters are great quality. They recently expanded next door for additional inside seating between the outdoor seating and now have a full deli to buy your fresh seafood at the counter like before at the old site. Only sad part i do miss is being able to walk to the beach that used to be right in the backyard of the old site. Otherwise, great food and great people.

Philz’s Fish Market is no longer at Moss Landing. It is now in Castroville CA and the food is still delicious as ever. The Cioppino is one of the best, if not the best dish, to eat here. A big thank you to Crystal at the cash register, she was friendly and helpful:
