Santa Monica Seafood closed its Costa Mesa market and cafe, saying goodbye in a social media post on Feb. 19.
For decades, the popular market and cafe was a go-to for all types of fresh seafood, from fish fillet to oysters to lobsters. Its cafe served some classic favorites including clam chowder, lobster rolls, crab cakes and fish and chips. A favorite on-the-go market snack featured brown-sugar-candied smoked salmon.
“For almost 30 years, we’ve served Costa Mesa. As we close our doors at this location, our hearts are filled with gratitude for your support throughout the years,” the company wrote. “This isn’t goodbye, it’s see you soon. We’d love to welcome you at our Santa Monica location.”
The closure at 154 E. 17th St. stunned longtime fans.
“Horrible news,” wrote Jennifer West. “This was by far more convenient than Santa Monica. This was the only place I respected to get seafood.”
The company, which has a Santa Monica store and headquarters 52 miles from Costa Mesa, could not be reached for comment on the closure.
Commenters on social media offered a tip to gift-card recipients: Use the company’s overnight shipping service rather than driving to Santa Monica. Users will need to create an account to set up seafood shipments.
That Santa Monica store, for those interested in making the trek, is at 1000 Wilshire Blvd., about 10 blocks from the beach and the 10 freeway.
In 2010 the company expanded the location in Costa Mesa, enlarging its cafe, oyster bar and deli section. The café sold items ranging from cioppino to sautéed scallops to oysters on the shell.
