Sourcing the Coast: Sourcing California Seafood

Sourcing seafood along the California coast is a daily journey of respect for the ocean. We believe that a chef's responsibility goes beyond the kitchen doors and directly onto the boats of our local fishermen. By working directly with dayboat captains in Santa Barbara and Monterey, we receive snapper, black cod, and rockfish that were swimming in the Pacific less than 24 hours prior.

This direct relationship ensures absolute quality and freshness. When fish is sourced sustainably and cooked immediately, its flavor is clean, delicate, and vibrant. We need very little seasoning—just a light sear, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a drizzle of premium olive oil to let the natural sweetness of the sea shine through.

Our commitment to seasonal seafood means our menu adapts to what the ocean yields. By respecting catch limits and supporting sustainable fishing practices, we ensure that our dining experiences are not only delicious but also preserve California's marine life for generations to come.
