White Seabass

Looking to sample some regional delicacies? Local white seabass and their related species are some of the best that local waters have to offer. Unfairly compared to Chilean seabass, which isn’t even a bass at all, white seabass is both light and flaky in texture and rich in flavor.

Highly prized, white seabass have been native to the area for millions of years and commercially fished since the late 1890’s. Sportfishing, using hook and line, and more recently spearfishing, are popular ways to catch this saltwater treat that can range up to a record 93 lbs!

Favorite Seafood Dining and Cocktails

Both the Santa Barbara and Ventura Brophy Bros Seafood Restaurant locations have a fun, lively atmosphere with beautiful views of the ocean and harbor, and in Santa Barbara the mountains too. Choose your spot - sit at the full length bars facing the views and the clam bar, grab a window and lean in, or sit at a table inside or out. Wherever you choose to park yourselves, you'll be thrilled by our sustainable seafood, clam chowder and fresh crusty sourdough bread! A daily Fresh Fish menu is served along with seafood appetizers, with a special menu in the downstairs Bar in Santa Barbara.
