"Located at the end of the 1,942-foot-long Oceanside Pier — the longest on the West Coast — the Brine Box operates out of a 109-square-foot kiosk with some nearby bench seating, and its mobile-focused menu was created by Jessica and Davin Waite. Inspired by an English "chippy" but decidedly San Diegan in execution, the menu adheres to the Waite’s zero-waste, sustainable seafood approach: local halibut is beer-battered for their fish and chips served with crispy fries and classic mushy peas; a seared fish of the day tops the “sea-animal fries” made in the style of In-N-Out; salads are offered with seared garlic-ponzu albacore or sustainably-farmed jumbo prawns grilled and tossed in Korean barbecue sauce; there’s also a Spam, egg, and cheese sandwich on a milk bread bun with anchovy aioli, plus raw fish dishes, vegan options, and frequent specials featuring seasonal catch from area waters." - Candice Woo
