Fishermen's Catch

Been a while since we were last here, my husband got the shrimp poor boy and I got the fried seafood, the calamari were drenched in oil, for shrimp and fish the batter was really thick, food tasted just ok to me

Came in and got seated, the atmosphere was very nice and the music playing was awesome as well, laid back tunes and cool decor all over the walls as well as flatscreens, they also have a great happy hour menu with lots of good options Got the mahi mahi tacos and they hit the spot! Very tender and definitely worth a try. Got the calamari and it was also very good! Services was great as well, they also have a super nice outdoor patio as well, highly recommend this spot for good seafood

Surprised I haven't reviewed here yet. Hidden gem restaurant, they just remodeled and now have large tv. The food was incredible and the staff are as sweet as pie. Atmosphere was perfect. 5/5

My lunch today involved the Fisherman Combo Basket! But this wasn't just a basket; it was a tiny, deep-fried treasure chest. The fish was so flaky, it practically dissolved in my mouth And the shrimp? They were plump little flavor bombs, each one a tiny explosion of joy from the ocean. My only regrets were that the basket wasn't bottomless and I didn't order the strawberry shortcake for dessert. Will definitely be back !

Been coming here for years. Cool spot for a quick lunch with a friendly staff. I usually grab a seafood plate or fish tacos.

What a little gem! This restaurant is absolutely fabulous. Let me start with the incredibly hospitable service. I wish I knew the name of the gentleman who served us because he truly deserves a personal shoutout—he was phenomenal! So kind and considerate, he made sure we felt right at home, provided excellent food recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect, from the seating arrangement to the cutlery. The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh and mouthwatering delicious. We enjoyed a steaming bowl of clam chowder; loaded bacon and cheese burger with crispy fries; and a grilled, juicy salmon plate accompanied by flavorful veggies and coleslaw. Every dish was bursting with flavor and well worth the price. The wait time was short, and the interior was lovely. If you’re in the area, please come and try this restaurant—you won’t regret it!

Best service ever! Even though you order at the counter, they bring you your food and anything else.

First of all, seeing the plates pass me through the kitchen maid me want everything I seen.. I got the Mermaid plate I wasn't disappointed.. The cod was flaky, and the shrimp was perfect 👌 Clam chowder is wholesome chunky and steaming ♨️ hot !! The cream Brielle 😋 hit the spot.. What a great lunch ... Next time we are in town we will come back !!

This has been a family favorite for a while, but sadly ever since the renovation, I am not sure if new owners or cooks or what, but honestly food is not the same. Shrimp batter changed. Cod batter and even the calamari were not the same. People there are wonderful although as busy as they are I think they are a bit understaffed. We had to walk out once because we waited almost 30 minutes and no one took our order. We love the place so we went back, food was a little disappointing. I think if they had more staff they could slow down a bit and maybe qualify could be better and please go back to original recepies. After todays meal not sure we want to go back. I couldn't even eat my food.

Great place, greaf food! We had the fish and chips, and watched the Dodger game on one of the many TV's. The owners personally came by to check on us during our meal. We will be back!!

On a total whim we came here for lunch since we were walking around the Channel Islands Harbor which is behind the Seabridge Marketplace. Service from the moment we walked in was phenomenal, warmly greeted. We took some time to look at the menu and our cashier/server was great at answering our questions. I ordered the coconut shrimp and my parents had the lunch specials. The place was clean...even though it is a seafood place, the place didn't smell "fishy". We sat in a booth and the food was brought to us fairly quickly. The coconut shrimp was by far the best coconut shrimp I have ever had and the orange sauce that accompanied it was phenomenal!!!! We all enjoyed our meal, the portions of the lunch special were perfect and the prices were reasonable. There was another worker there that thanked us for choosing the Fisherman's Catch and asked if we needed anything else. He was also so friendly. He was cleaning and getting utensils ready. I suspected he was the owner and on our way out I asked him if he was, he answered yes. I don't think he was friendly just because he was the owner, his way of being seemed to come naturally. I let him know that we really liked our food and that the coconut shrimp were the best! He told me that he isn't really a fan of coconut shrimp but that he enjoys these because of the orange sauce. Perfect, low key restaurant that I highly recommend! Plus, bathrooms were clean. Parking is a plentiful since this restaurant is located in a shopping center. AND before or after your meal, you can enjoy a super nice walk along the Harbor. Great little relaxing place.

Food was OK. No real thrills and the pricing was a bit high. For $9.50 I was expecting more than I got from the fish taco. Shrimp were a bit over seasoned / salty on the Caser Salad with also was a little heavily dressed. Their clam chowder is unique in a good way. It was the best part. Margarita seemed a bit light on the booze.

I'm with a large group and we are rehearsing at a local school about 15 minutes away. We were looking at places to get good seafood and this came up as highly rated. We were short on time and ordered quick items so we could grab a bite to eat and then head back to work. The waitress was very nice and quickly got our orders. I got a bread bowl and clam chowder. The bread had a really cool design on top and had the right amount of sponge and chewiness for the sourdough. The soup was less desired and tasted like it didn't have much seasoning in it. There were good amounts of clam and potato, but the cream was the most powerful part of the soup. Seems like a very popular place and it's located really conveniently next to the water. Will try it again in the future.

First time to visit this place, and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered clam chowder, Captain's combo, and Cod fish and chips plus sides of bread and cajun corn. We enjoyed our orders but was underwhelmed with the clam chowder. Customer service was good- Caitlyn was attentive and warm. There is also ample parking.

We got the Bread bowl Clam chowder, onion rings & cod which was absolutely amazing. It's rare to get clam chowder with no bacon. Super happy with chunks of clam & potato's in every bite! Def. Coming back tomorrow for lunch.

I really looking forward to eating here for dinner, but sadly it missed the mark for me. Service was great and attentive. I give my meal a one star rating. I ordered the shrimp po'boy with fries and honestly... I was extremely disappointed. The description made it sound amazing, but what I got was super underwhelming, especially for a $20 meal. Hoping it was just an off day, but the flavors were very bland and the portion didn't really justify the price. I might give it another try some other day, but maybe stay away from the shrimp po'boy. The space is in a plaza next to The Coffee Bean. I love the seating area in the back of the shop where you can take your food outside and enjoy the view of the ocean! If you're out there at 7-8ish like I was, you'd get to watch the sunset too!

There are many things to like about Fishermen's Catch, but their Mahi Mahi fish taco is fantastic. Grilled, not fried, perfectly seasoned, and the chipotle sauce is delicious. I'm a fan of fish racos, and this is the best I've had in the 805. The restaurant has a nice casual vibe, as befits a place in Channel Islands Harbor.

Stopped in after not coming here for a couple years and was pretty disappointed. The fish and chips went up in price significantly, but down in portion. I got a three piece fish and chips and though my pieces of fish looked sizable, it was mostly batter. The actual fish was maybe 2"x 1" chunks. Others in our party who ordered the same thing had the same experience. The coconut shrimp is like 5 tiny shrimp- mostly breading again. I would not order this The Cole slaw now has fruit in it. We got two orders of calamari- both were extremely overcooked and rubbery. When we mentioned it to the gentleman who brought the entrees over he just said "oh,sorry" I know seafood is typically more costly at restaurants but for 3 people, we spent a fortune and left feeling like we had to stop at jack in the box on the way home

What a little gem! This restaurant is absolutely fabulous. Surprised there are any negative reviews ... Let me start with the incredibly hospitable service. I wish I knew the name of the gentleman who served us because he truly deserves a personal shoutout--he was phenomenal! So kind and considerate, he made sure we felt right at home, provided excellent food recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect, from the seating arrangement to the cutlery. The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh and mouthwatering delicious. We enjoyed a steaming bowl of clam chowder; a loaded bacon and cheese burger with crispy fries; and a grilled, juicy salmon plate accompanied by flavorful veggies and coleslaw. Every dish was bursting with flavor and well worth the price. The wait time was short, and the interior was lovely with a view of the canals outside. If you're in the area, please come and try this restaurant--you won't regret it!

Followed a review! This place was excellent!!! Not fancy the food was delicious. Clam Chowder bowl, Beer batter fish ( Cod)and Chips were all great choices. It all started with Mahi Mahi street tacos on the happy hour menu with cold beer. I want to go back Mas tacos cold have ate dozen and few more coldies! Either way if you're near by I recommend happy or just a meal. Great service, Great View, Great Food!!!

Our first time here and the fact that it was Mother's Day was probably not helpful. We waited about 20 mins to get a waitress to take our drink order. We both ordered fish and chips, I had the cod my wife had the halibut. The food was ok honestly for the prices it was ok, the chips were so so the fish was also so so. Overall we may or may not go back the first impression was a miss.

Service was ok . Cashier was semi friendly . The man that brought our food... not so much . My friend asked for the hot sauce and he just pointed. No words were exchanged, he just planted the calm chowders . He then came back and said , " your number" and we gave it to him. Counter service . You get a number and pick a seat. .Quick and easy. Place looks like it needs a bit of TLC or they may be painting . I loved loved loved the calm chowder there 5/5 . It's my new fave as others are a bit watery and I don't like the flavor. I used to love Lure's in Ventura but the recipe changed. The service wasn't the best so an overall 3.5, rounded to a 4 for me. Service is extremely important to me . I work hard for my money and want to spend it where I feel comfortable/welcomed :) Just some notes as this area gets a lot of tourists . I'll be back hoping service will get better.

You order at the counter, you get a number, and the food is brought to you. The waiter who served our food was excellent and attentive.

I gave the shrimp po' boy sandwich a try, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. It was pretty dry and lacked flavor. The bread was super toasted, I didn't even want to risk scratching the roof of my mouth. You're better off just ordering the fried shrimp on its own. Service was okay, nothing too special.

Salad was not fresh at all. Soggy greens. I asked them to replace it but they said this is the kind of salad they have. I asked them to refund me but they refused. The fish and chips didn't taste fresh too. There were mosquitoes and flies where we ate... I usually enjoy coming here but they have really changed and deteriorated. Not coming back here.

The food is great even if you're not a fish eater! Their burger is so good and the waffle fries are amazing. It's very fun when they have bands. The staff are very helpful and the service is great. Great happy hour specials

Food was great! The outside gives the impression of takeout food so I wasn't super excited when we arrived. Once the food came out, I was pleasantly surprised. I had the Cajun grilled tilapia and it was fantastic. I got all vegetables and they were excellent as well. My husband got the fish and chips and it's not beer battered fish. It's more of a crusty type. He said it was really good. It just lacked some seasoning. The service was mediocre. There was a language barrier and she just didn't look happy with her job. Maybe having a bad night? Either way I would go back.

Warning! The online menu is wrong, items and prices are incorrect The food at FC is delicious! We ordered the Sailor's Linguine, angel hair pasta, the Mahi Mahi plate, and a full order of calamari. Everyone was very happy with their food. Again, the online menu needs to be corrected.

Delicious seafood and a beautiful view of the harbor. Fisherman's catch caught my eye when staying in the area for a vacation. As you walk in, you can see the tanks for crab. Fisherman's catch uses fresh seafood for their meals. My husband and I ordered the calamari, Cajun crab and the jambalaya pasta. The calamari was crispy and delicious. The Cajun crab was a huge portion that came with rice pilaf, butter, and some mixed veggies. It was so good. The jambalaya with some fresh squeezed lemon flavorful. I would order these three items again. This restaurant has a wine bar and serves a variety of alcoholic drinks. I would eat here again.

As you can see from the sheer size, they don't skimp on the lobster. This lobster roll was huge. Huge buttery chunks of lobster. The fries were good also, but that wasn't my star player!LOL It comes on a bed of cabbage or lettuce I cannot remember. And they have aioli drizzled on top. You can either sit inside or sit outside there's lots of patio chairs outside to sit on the Harbor.

Food is always great here ! I ordered the fish and chip combo and it was a very generous amount of food. The food had a great texture, that is my focus when ordering fried seafood. My friend ordered the Cajun corn, I was not biggest fan of it - first thing I try from here that I do not rave about. Service is very attentive and prompt. If you want a nice quiet dinner with excellent sea food then really check it outs

Food is great we come over for the Dallas Cowboys training camp almost every year and we keep going to this place. It's great but the prices keeps going higher. I guess that comes with inflation but it's beautiful. It's at a waterfront. Area

Overall: Although they remodeled Fishermen's Catch to be more inviting, the food quality and customer service has worsened. I used to come to Fisherman's Catch on a regular basis, but it is clear to say I will not return. The minute I sat down at the table, it was so difficult to focus on conversation or on the menu when the owner continued to pour himself wine, argue with a server on which tables to serve, and loudly talk to other customers on the other side of the restaurant. When the waitress came to place our order, it was very clear she was checked out. She didn't verify what I ordered, provide context in terms of what was out of stock, or even provide similar suggestions. I ended up ordering the grilled salmon plate with a side of brown rice and house salad. The salmon portion was extremely small, overcooked, and unseasoned. The brown rice was unseasoned and undercooked. It didn't matter how much salt, pepper, or tartar sauce I used, the fish was dry. To top it all off, the water was disgusting!! It was not cold and the water tasted like it was from the faucet. It doesn't matter if the staff had a rough night. We all have rough days at work, but when you compromise good quality food and half-ass your job, that's where the problem lies.

While traveling for business I found the Fishermans Catch on Yelp! It was great! I ordered from there happy hour menu and my fish and chips were wonderful! Loved every bite. However the real star was their clam chowder. It was so good and so tasty! I can't wait to go back and have it again.

Our family was looking for a place to grab an early dinner shortly after checking in to our hotel in Oxnard. They wanted seafood specifically and I can across this place on my search that looked decent. Everyone here were all so nice and friendly which I appreciate so much! The menu was very easy to look through, and to our surprised we arrived 30 minutes before happy hour ended. My family tends to eat very small portions so the Happy Hour menu was perfect for them. We put in our order, and was hardly waited before our food was ready. This was great because we were all getting hungry. Two of my family members ordered the Mahi Mahi fish tacos and said they were delicious. I had the Ahi Tuna which I will say was a very small portion even though I ordered from the regular menu versus happy hour. I had to order another item off the Happy Hour menu which I'm glad I did because I also got to try the Fish N Chips which was delicious.

I don't think it was very tasty. Food came out pretty quick. Nice view of the bay outside. I got things to go. Breading was a bit dense. Fries weren't good. Tartar sauce had Dijon mustard in it. Not a fresh tasting combo, in my opinion. Clam chowder was too thick for me. Probably alright if you get a small one(cup size). Rice pilaf was okay, but pretty buttery. Veggies were pretty good. Grilled halibut was okay. The grilled plate was the best thing. I think it all tasted super average, though. Did not match the high price. I think it's a one and done for me. Can't really recommend this spot. Oh well.

Fisherman'Catch is very good. Grilled fish dishes were great. Only reason not a 5 was they changed the clam chowder recipe. It use to be great now it's too salty and has too many potatoes.

We have been to this restaurant due to the ambient, especially enjoying sunset and dinner at the outside patio. This vibe is kind of gone to the extent. Not sure because of the landlord or agreement between restaurants. The service ladies are nice. The food here are less fresh compared to the past. The cod in the fried fish is not fresh. TO fish and chip is much better. The grill items are not as good as CA fish grill. Our original order catfish sandwich was muddy smell and served with hair, which they replaced with Tilapia sandwich. Tilapia was not fresh either. The grill salmon was very smelly. The fired calamari was not properly battered. The restaurant was upgraded with modern attire. The food does not reflect the upgrade or even close to the past (last August 2024 was the best.) Not sure if my family would come back.

I haven't been here in a while and for the most part I feel like things are the same. The one thing that was very noticeable was the amount of food you get in the captain's combo. My family and I would always have felt overs and now the ports are not as generous as they used to be. With that being said the flavors are still there! Everything is delicious and perfectly cooked. They have an amazing clam chowder that is so creamy and delicious! They also have fountain drinks, wine, beer or micheladas. I had a michelada and it was great. The service is always great. All of their employees are always friendly. When you get there you have to order your food first, they give you a number and then sit down, they'll bring your food and drinks to you. The seating is comfortable and the tables are large. The restaurant has plenty of seating inside or outside. Oh! And you can also purchase fresh seafood for here! My kids love watching their lobster tank. Once you are done eating you can go outside and take a nice walk around the harbor. This place is a definite a favorite of mine.

Had an amazing bowl of clam chowder. So yummy! It was just as good as it looked in the pic. Isaac was super helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Made our way to Oxnard to get fresh strawberries and grab lunch. This is our second time at Fisherman's Catch. First experience was great! It was hopping and with full of energetic service. The place must be under new ownership. When we parked, it took us a while to locate since it seems they downsized their space and can hardly see the faded sign. The indoor space is small, and dark, tables not picked up or cleaned. The customer service was poor, no smiles or greeting. We ordered dungeness crab and fish and chips. The fish and chips were somewhat decent but lacked a bit of seasoning. The dungeness was terrible loaded with garlic masking the fishy taste of the crab. This is the first time I've eaten dungeness with no natural sweetness. Costco dungeness is fresher and better tasting for half the price. Overall a disappointing lunch.

Went here for lunch. The food was excellent as was the service. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The price was very reasonable and the ambiance was nice and relaxing. Highly recommend!! Ron and Mary C

Worst fish and clam chowder I have ever had and wayyyyy over priced for what you get. We will not eat here again

Absolutely delicious! The happy hour hit the spot! Great beer and good selections. The ahi tuna was great with the fried cod and calamari! Those shrimps though is what I can't stop thinking of. Tasty food, great portions and very friendly waitress. Close to the beach and they appear to sell seafood to cook at home as well. The ocean port is a beautiful view outside.

We ordered the calamari, caesar salad, chowder, and clams for appetizer. My son also ordered a chowder but in a bread bowl which arrived after most of us were done with dinner. Our main dishes included Linguine, Lobster Roll, Po'Boy, Fish and Chips and Salmon. No one could get half past their dishes. Most didn't taste fresh. The corn my daughter was served was old and dry. Replaced by equally dry rice. 2 stars is for the service which was kind and excellent. Sadly the food was not what we expected.

Loved it!! Food was excellent! Service was awesome! We went to celebrate our anniversary dinner! Couldn't have had a better meal

The service was great! In-door and outdoor dinning with a full bar. We had the clam chowder in a bread bowl, coconut Shrimp and the pop corn shrimp. The prices are great too! They also have happy menu. Everything was very good! I'd definitely come back .

Closing an hour before actual closing time. I didn't even get to try this place when I drove out of my way only to find out they were closing. When I asked one of the female employees she said "yeah we're closed." How is this even possible especially on a Saturday?

Tucked hidden away in a small plaza is this wonderful spot!! They are quick to bring out to your table and it taste fresh as if they just caught your fish. The staff there are very friendly. The food is delicious. We ordered crispy fish and chips, hot clam chowder in a fresh sour dough bowl, and some crab cakes with coleslaw dressed with pineapple chunks- YUMMM! They have seating inside and out with a great view. I wish I took pics but I'll just have to go back. Enjoy!!

Fishermen's Catch describes itself as a harbor-side seafood spot with a fresh fish counter and patio seating. Known for its New England Clam Chowder, the establishment also features the Captain's Combo, Oysters, Fried Fish Taco, Lobster Roll, Alaskan Codfish, Fried Calamari, Crab Cakes, Coconut Shrimp, and Popcorn Shrimp. The ambiance is casual and friendly with outdoor seating. There is an ADA-compliant main entrance, with accessible parking near the entrance. Tipping is always optional. Fishermen's Catch is owned and operated by an Italian fishing family--the Guglielmos--that dates back three generations. The father-son team both own their own fishing boats. They specialize in catching fresh white sea bass, local halibut, crabs and lobsters. The family starts its fishing day very early in the morning to help ensure catching the best fish. The Guglielmos opened Fishermen's Catch to bring fresh, affordable fish to the public. They purchase the fish they don't catch from high-quality vendors. The family's unofficial motto is, "If we don't eat it, we won't sell it!" Oscar G. said, "Our first time here and the fact that it was Mothers' Day probably wasn't helpful," Oscar continued."....The chips were so-so, and the fish was also so-so....The first impression was a miss." Tina S. very much enjoyed the service on her first trip. "The servce was very good," she said. "Caitlyn was attentive and warm." However, Tina added, "We enjoyed our orders, but were underwhelmed by the clam chowder." "The waiter who served our food was excellent and attentive," commented Victoria V. Fishermen's Catch is located at 1185 S. Victoria Ave., Oxnard. Bon Appetit!

Not as good as sea fresh , the soup was all potato's you could eat it with a fork and fish was really greasy. I would not go back

I got half calamari and I was in disbelief with the portion I got. To make it worse I didn't get any sauces except for ketchup when I had specifically requested tartar sauce.

Second time here in about 6 years and remembered why I had not been back. I ordered a fish and shrimp combo with chips. The breading on both was so thick and tasted burnt like the oil was old. The fish and shrimp tasted about the same. I had to peel off the breading to make it edible. The restaurant itself was nice as was the cashier at the counter. I will not be going back. I'll stick with Andrea's or brophy brothers.

Fisherman's cat is a great place for seafood. It's located on the waterside of the harbor. The food is delicious. My favorite is the fish tacos on taco Tuesday. You are welcomed with a smile when you come in. There's a beautiful mirror on the wall of the harbor. Also they have a fish market so you can prepare some delicious fish at home.

This building looks very unassuming from the outside. Looking at pictures would've made me guess that it was located in a strip mall. Inside they have a nice display of fresh seafood. We ordered half grilled calamari, aguachiles, and I had a corvina plate for myself with grilled veggies and garlic bread. The order took around 15 minutes to get. The grilled calamari option is pretty cool. Most restaurants only have fried calamari. I don't like shrimp typically, but the aguachiles were pretty good and I liked it a lot. For my main plait, my garlic bread had a very nice char to it but my veggies felt more steamed than grilled. The corvina is basically a sea bass and tasted like one (good). The tartar sauce is also a nice touch A few annoying things included the lack of napkins at the table, a bone in my fish, and a shrimp tail in my aguachiles. Despite this, I still enjoyed eating here and would recommend this spot for seafood fans nearby.

Been coming to the fisherman's catcher since day one with my family when fresh seafood is on the menu. This is the place to be. My mother was visiting from out of town. Seafood was on the menu and we headed to the fisherman's catch off Victoria. We entered at 6:30 PM. I was approached by a gentleman by the name of Gabrielle.. yes, I made sure I got this fella's name. He stated we closed. You can't come in anymore. We're done for the day. I was shocked the way he approached me as if he was pushing me away. Obviously, he's not the owner I've never encountered any of this behavior before everybody always greets me with a smile and very excellent customer service. There was a younger gal and she apologized. Yes we are. We're sorry we're closed. Promptly the cook by the name of Maria overheard what was going on and she told both of them we don't close yet we close at 7:30 and if it's busy, we have to help them out. The gentleman frowned and approached her and said some words to her. I soon noticed what was going on these teenagers in a rush to leave. With no concern to customer service. They asked me to sit down and they will take my order I did as they told me, but I was feeling some type of way. I wasn't feeling it anymore I felt as if I didn't belong there. I still move forward with it and try to brush it off, but there was a knot in my throat that wasn't getting undone they served as our drinks. My wife's class had a bad taste and that's when I pulled the trigger and said we gotta leave this place. I wasn't trusting these people to feed me anymore. I am not the one to be leaving bad reviews. I myself run a business and my corporate drives and customer satisfaction. We help everyone if you catch us in our shop at closing time we will help you no matter what or make sure you're taking care of. I will delete this bad review and make it a positive if the owner reaches out to me and not asking for anything in return, I just want to make sure he knows what's going on when he's not there but the positive of this review is the cook. She made me feel comfortable and apologize for them and she know what they done was wrong. You have too bad apples, greeting your guest, but you have a bright red apple cooking for your guests. Please take care of her. She's your eyes and ears when you're not there and let her know. I truly appreciate her and I will come back.

So I have eaten at this place for years and loved it,but the past 2 times have not. One time we ate in and waited an hour and 1/2 for our meal. The 2nd time we did take out. Waited almost an hour. Then when I got home I was behond disappointed in the quality of my meal. I have always loved there coconut shrimp ,the best, but tonight I got what looked like coconut chicken fingers(and they were expensive) . So sad to say we will not be going back. So sad to bad because we live so close and like I said before we have gone for years. I am leaving a photo of my husbands regular fried shrimp and one of my finger coconut shrimps.
