Popped in for a quick lunch while I was on the road. The classic oysters were delicious, really next level. Salmon burger was also solid, just a bit dry for my taste. Regardless, it was a great meal and the service was pleasant and fast!

Good fish tacos, quick service. Order at the counter. Had the swordfish jerk tacos and fried fish. My 3 year old enjoyed her fish taco also.

Group order of Fish and Chips, Salmon Club, Half + Half Poke, and Crispy Fish Tacos. The battered fish in the fish and chips were the best battered fish I’ve had. The batter is not overdone and the fish retains it’s original appearance inside, the meat clings together really well. The same fish is also found in the crispy fish tacos. The side of chips (fries) are also part of the Salmon Club which have a very good potato consistency inside and a crisp exterior fry. The salmon in the sandwich was very hearty and you can see the quality of the salmon in presentation. The Half + Half Poke was also a good choice, the tuna was especially smooth and soft. Parking here may be a bit rough on site but fortunately there is street parking nearby and a shopping center parking lot across the street.

We loved Kanaloa. We came by after visiting the SB Mission. They have fresh seafood and amazing service. I adored my tacos and my partner loved his mussels. They had several good beer options. This place was VERY clean. Like absurdly clean. Thank you for a wonderful meal and afternoon!

Special place in Santa Barbara. Eat there or buy from wonderful fresh, local, frozen or other items to take home for dinner! The wild King Salmon was perfect. Sand dabs are fun too!

Was in the mood for seafood and none of the sushi options close by had great menus so I opted for some poke. Chose the half and half which was tuna and salmon. The portion is huge and I definitely left stuffed. Also tried the fried fish taco which was tasty. Me and partner sat outside and it was nice. Not too busy, not loud but not dead. I liked that it was on a parallel street to the main State street. Very cool that it doubles as a seafood market for locals.

The Crispy Fish tacos here are super delicious of perfect crispness and fresh flavors of the sea and land …pico de gallo salsa with pineapple for me the aioli sauce could of been just a tad spicier but the lady added a 6 premium order of oysters to enjoy and guess what…I added horseradish from the oysters on to my last fish taco and boy was that a tremendous explosion of spicy flavors…perfectly I’d say!! Oysters were delivered quickly and deliciously enjoyed paired with a Maui Pineapple Mana wheat beer…Because of the nice hot climate I asked for a cup of ice to poor my beer in and seriously….Happy combination I’d say!! So if you’re in the Santa Barbara area looking for great fresh seafood…Kanaloa Seafood is where you’d like to go…they do have parking lot., but if there isn’t any there not to worry there’s plenty of parking around corner or down street to local parking lots…prices very reasonable. Staff here very polite and place is super clean…there’s seating indoors and outdoor patio dining oh and a super from me to having clean bathrooms…that’s a plus being my first time eating here and enjoy their food…I’ll definitely come again and enjoy their fish burgers which looked amazing too…well next time ❤️

Was looking for some chowder bread bowls and Kanaloa showed up. I’m happy I stopped by cause the coconut shrimp was so tasty. It was accompanied by a mango sauce, sounds weird, but worked wonderfully. The chowder bread bowl was bomb, and I ate it so fast I forgot to take a picture, lol.
