Malibu Seafood!
My favorite place in all of Southern California for fish and chips and where I stop EVERY time I go to the beach! Big honking chunks of mild sweet white fish in the perfect batter fried to dark golden crispy Nirvana with hearty steak fries and homemade tartar sauce.
This little road side shack and fish market on an otherwise empty stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu between Pepperdine University and Zuma Beach is always packed with locals and celebrities and regular folks and the lucky hungry tourist that happened to stop for lunch.
The fish is superb and absoulutely try the deep fried oysters! There are other “healthier” choices like grilled fish and a salad or two but I’ve never had them. I can’t imagine being there and not getting the two piece basket with a cup of perhaps the best clam chowder south of Seattle.

PS: That giant Mediterranean mansion surrounded by a like a 1,000 palm trees just up the street: Cher’s house. But don’t go bothering her!
