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

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

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

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 !!

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!

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 !

🌅✌️This seems like a far away💎 hidden gem but it's Definitely Worth the find!! 🦀The Dungeness crab 🦀 was prepared perfectly and had lots of warm Cajun spiced dipping butter that filled the larger body shell! 🤤Tastiest, juiciest lumps of crab meat that I've had in a very long time!! I chose the Rice pilaf on the side 😵‍💫😵I really want to go back! 😋🦀 The salad bowls are humongous! The food here is really yummy 😊 plus the fish market 🐟 gives you plenty of take home options ✌️🌅🦀🐟

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.

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.

This is what the lobster rolls look like now vs a year ago im the other picture... They added celery as a filler and took away the amount of lobster they had before. And they also changed the fries to be thicker cut. Same price, less lobster... The aoli was good though.

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.

There have been a couple of changes! The food is always fried well. Today I saw new staff, so thankful !!! The new girl is friendly and very welcoming. I held off on reviewing because I had interacted with some not so friendly staff a few weeks back. The friend fish combo is great as always.

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.

This was the second time I've gone in since the new owner took over. The inside has a nice refresh and is much more comfortable to dine in. There's also a patio area with tables and umbrellas. We opted for outside today! I got the first and chips lunch special and my husband isn't a big seafood lover, so he opted for the burger. The burger was a tick patty and good sized. The chowder was delicious, creamy and tasty with that warmth of comfort. The fish was cooked to perfection. Nice and crisp on the outside with just the right amount of breading while the fish was tender and moist on the inside! They also have a daily happy hour. I think I need to make this more of a regular spot now! If you haven't been in awhile, the new owner has made some really great changes and you can find him there working the bar as well!

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.

The staff is really friendly here. It looks like they made some improvements for the dining experience like a brand new bartending station with happy hour etc. The problem is the actual fish market. I used to live near there and I often would buy fresh fish from there. They had a beautiful fish case packed with ice and lots of fresh fish. I went in there to buy some fish last Saturday. They had a few measly pieces of dried up fish on plates with upside down half chafers and no ice. I asked the attendant why it looked that way. He said that it's easier to keep a cold if there's no ice in the ice case... Huh!? Every butcher and fish Market and I mean ever pax ice in their ice well cold cases to display their meat and fish. It does not make it colder to take the ice out. What it does do is cut down on labor because that ice has to be purged and the Cold Case has to be dried out and thoroughly cleaned every night I asked them to get some halibut from the back because what was in the case looked really dried out. She grabbed a piece from the back and I took it to prepare it. To my disappointment the fish appeared to have been frozen and defrosted. It was not fresh like their fish used to be. It was a bit dry subsequently. The price wasn't bad but honestly I would have paid another $5 a pound to have it be fresh and not pre-frozen and thawed. I was a little bit disappointed this time around and I hope that they can get their quality back up to what it needs to be. This area of California has a standard of really high quality seafood that is mostly locally caught

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!

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

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very happy I ended up here today. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and welcoming. I was thanked for coming in. Super yummy steamed clams "sauteed" on their menu. Sat outside where their tables and chairs are conveniently situated out the back door. Beautiful view.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Fishermen's Catch has been hiding right in plain sight from me all these years. This restaurant has delicious seafood and friendly staff, I'm sorry I didn't try it sooner but safe to say I'll be back! Located in the busy restaurant packed shopping center in Oxnard I hadn't realized this place was here as it kind of blends in with the others. Found them on Yelp and was really craving some seafood with a harbor vibe and I knew I had to make a stop here. If you want easy in and out then come right at opening. I came at 11:15am and it was pretty dead inside. I heard them say after 12pm they start getting super busy and that was definitely accurate. I like a more intimate quiet setting so coming early was perfect for me. You order at a counter and if your eating inside they give you a number and bring your food to you. I also heard them say that while they have outdoor seating overlooking the harbor, if you eat outside they pack it to go. I opted for inside so I could have a more formal dining experience. The inside isn't too big but had plenty of seating from booths to tables. The menu is also impressively large. You'll surely find something for everyone here but of course they'll be known for their seafood dishes. The gal taking my order behind the counter was super friendly. She helped me navigate the menu and gave me good suggestions. She told me their teriyaki sauce was really good so even though I didn't want a full Asian flavored dish, I did substitute rice for my fries so I could try it out. Anyways - back to service. Everyone here is super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. 5/5 for positive vibes and helpful people. The man running the plates out looked to maybe be the manager and he was super nice. The food and drinks are where it's at though! Everything was good and I would totally get these dishes again. Watermelon Cucumber Margarita: 4/5. Please note this isn't a traditional looking or tasting margarita but it hit the spot. Almost reminded me of a watermelon seltzer but it was refreshing and a good size. Add the tajin rim and its perfection. Clam Chowder: 4/5. Another solid bite. Its not the best clam chowder I've had in the area but it totally hit the spot. More potato bites then usual but it gave the chowder a nice thickness and it was tasty. Popcorn Shrimp: 5/5. The best fried popcorn shrimp that ive had in a very long time. Its nostalgic reminding me of my childhood, super fresh and crunchy. Also was really impressed with the portion size. A good value and was just a super tasty dish. Also note Im a sauce gal and their sauces here are primo! Loved the tartar sauce and their teriyaki sauce. Super good! Lastly, the prices were super reasonable. Where can you get a cocktail, an appetizer, and a main dish consisting of seafood for $30? I found it to be a great value & adding on the stellar food, atmosphere, and service, this spot is an easy 5 stars on Yelp.

I've been eating at Fisherman's Catch for years and its been more hit than miss. Lately, it's been a bit of a disappointment. I ordered 2 piece halibut with onion rings and a cup of clam chowder. The fish and onion rings were overcooked and very dry, the cup of chowder was small for $9. If this had been the 1st time, things happen I get it, but this was the 3rd time in a few months. Guess it's time to find a new spot.
