Quality Seafood@Redondo Beach ★★★

Fresh Live Seafood. My goto place for fresh Uni. Its spines were still moving. Usually sold out later in the day on Sundays. BTW, Cherrystone Clams are the new Oysters (at least for me). Blue Crab is inexpensive - nice, sweet, and small. You can borrow a wooden hammer from the counter to crack open the crab with a $3 refundable deposit.

Live Uni about $35

Hinoki & The Bird@Century City ★★★

Fantastic New American Restaurant. By celeb Chef David Myers from Comme Ça & Chef Kuniko Yagi from Top Chef. Flavorful Asian fusion blend w/ herbs like thai basil lemon grass. Great food & quality. The dishes came out really fast. Definitely try their revolutionary signature black Lobster Roll. Pumpkin Toast with its texture and the goat cheese accent is just simply delicious. Refreshing cocktail mixes and surprising Rice Cream to end. Such a delightful experience.

Enterprise Seafood Co@Santa Monica ★★★

Great Seafood. Love their Ahi Poke. Scallops in the Scallop Risotto tasted like it's missing some salt, but if you eat it with the risotto at the same time, then it would taste great. Mussels were fatty and great. Lobster Bisque was yum yum. Went with a $15 for $30 Groupon.

Scallop Risotto $23.95
prime pan-seared sea scallops served over a creamy seasonal vegetable risotto

Traditional Hawaiian Ahi Poke $9.95

Fresh Steamed Mussels $12.95

Hamptons@Manhattan Beach ★★★

Delicious Seafood by the Beach Area. Went here w/ a Groupon. The beer flight is such a steal, you can to taste 4 beers for only $8. I had the waitress pick some nice & sweet ones for me. They turned out really good. For the Amagansett Lobster Roll, you get to pick to have it served hot (butter) or cold (mayo). I had it cold, but I think served hot will be much better than cold. Well, next time!
