The Best Seafood Near Le Petit Pali Laguna Beach, by the Record

1. Eater The 38 Essential Orange County Restaurants

A raw bar seafood spot a short walk from the actual ocean, which feels right. Inside it's sunny, a little loud, and decorated like someone who actually likes the beach rather than someone staging it. Half the menu is oysters, clams, and lobster, and the staff will talk you through it without making you feel slow. The cooking keeps things clean and confident, letting good fish be good fish.
