Sea Harvest Fish Market - Carmel

I would like to give this restaurant a five-star rating for everything, but unfortunately, I cannot do so because the main reason for visiting was to enjoy tasty food, which was not the case. We ordered clam chowder that was overly salty with very little seafood, making it inedible for my two children. The calamari and vegetable dish we ordered for the adults was subpar, with the vegetables being decent but the calamari lacking seasoning. The overall dining experience left me feeling disappointed, especially considering the high bill of around $100 for two cups of clam chowder, one calamari and vegetable dish, two beers, and two juice drinks. Additionally, my husband experienced diarrhea just 20 minutes after finishing our meal.

This is a restaurant and meat shop. I liked the decor and staff were busy but definitely helpful. We ordered a sourdough bowl roasted garlic top of clam chowder, a shrimp, combo sandwich, a dozen barbecue oysters, fried calamari, garlic bread for 5, Seabass broiled Cajun style with rice and veggies and salad but didn’t realize the salad was missing until writing this review. lol. In all, this came out to be approximately $150 for my family of 5. This was plenty of food I noticed another review indicated the serving size seemed smaller. I would agree but again my family and I enjoyed everything we were served and will definitely stop by again.

Nice place, delicious food but service wasn’t good. We ordered a ciopino, calamari steak, clam chowder, rice and salad. The seafood was fresh and tasty, rice and salad just regular. The place is beautiful with sea themed decoration and the market. The only thing I didn’t like was the service, the waiters did not offer dessert and just gave us the bill after finishing. They only have one high chair, so not really kid-friendly and not recommendable if you are with more than one young kid and also the bathrooms are outside on the other side of the building. Plenty of parking bc it’s located in a shopping center.

Best clam chowder I have ever had full of clams and rich in flavor! (Not like some other places which are dominantly potato). They also let us order just one oyster for $2.50. We were so grateful because we didn’t have the stomachs for half a dozen oysters but still wanted to experience it. Will definitely return when I am back in Monterey!

It was delicious. I ordered the fried combo with coconut prawns, calamari, and scallops and broiled mahi mahi. However, the portion sizes were surprisingly much smaller than other comparable seafood restaurants.
