Editorial Review for Neptune's Net – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
This glorified roadside shack is situated alongside Malibu's picturesque Pacific Coast Highway. On weekends, Harleys rumble in, deploying wind-weathered bikers and the women who love them. The rest of the crowd is a mix of surfers, L.A. professionals and wide-eyed tourists. All gather at wooden tables that tell a scrawled history of love affairs and unspoken crushes.
The Food
Skip the lines for fried fish and pick your lobsters, crabs, clams and shrimp from the live wells. In 10 minutes, your selection will be steamed or boiled, cracked and laid out on paper plates with small cups of melted butter. The New England clam chowder, thick with tender cubes of potato and sweet chunks of clam, is simply stellar. By the time you're done, your table will be covered in napkins, your stomach will be stuffed and you'll be stumbling to the beach to pass out.

This is no doubt some of the best seafood you will find in the area. Yes, you do have venture out of LA county, and yes, you will mix and mingle with a surly crew of bikers and soldiers on leave from Point Magoo, but it's all worth it. The freshest seafood you'll find anywhere (as you pick it out while it's still moving) and all of it prepared with a greasy spoon's touch for taste. Not to mention a great view and outdoor seating that's really hard to beat. There's a reason you see paparazzi shots of stars pulling up outside this place.
Pros: You won't find better seafood with a cooler atmosphere
Cons: No cons, unless you mind sharing a table with ex-Hell's Angels

I went there after a day at the beach, and I had a blast. We ordered calamari, fried shrimp, and fish tacos, and everything tasted really good. I wish I would've gotten the clam chowder. Someone at a booth nearby had it, and it looked delicious. I liked the casual, beachy vibe, and the service was quick.
Pros: Fun place
Cons: Super busy
