| overview of Malibu Seafood cafe in Malibu, California |
Founded in 1972, Malibu Seafood is owned and
operated by commercial fishermen. The
owners have been quoted as saying, “The reason we don’t serve breakfast is
we’re out catching lunch.” Watch for the
street-side sign and be ready to make a quick exit into the free parking
area.

Nicknamed the hut” by locals, this
modest spot serves fresh local fish prepared to order. Fish and chips and ground ahi burgers are popular,
and prices are fair. Get in line, order
at the counter inside, pick up at the window outside, and select a seat at an
ocean-view picnic table. Or take it to go
for a picnic on the beach.

But
be careful here with parking. Some free parking
is provided, but on the east side there is a marked private lot that requires
payment. Also, on the street in front,
signs greatly restrict parking. Be sure
to read them carefully. Recently, I was
so excited to find an empty spot within easy reach of the cafe that I failed to
check the signage. That short-lived joy
cost me $63.
