Andria's Seafood Restaurant, Seafood restaurant in Ventura Harbor Village, United States.
Andria's Seafood Restaurant is a seafood restaurant in Ventura Harbor Village, sitting directly on the waterfront in Ventura, California. It combines a dining room with an attached fish market where fresh fish and shellfish are sold to take home.
The restaurant opened in 1982 under Michael Wagner and was one of the first businesses to set up in the newly built Ventura Harbor Village. It has remained in the same spot for over 40 years, making it one of the oldest tenants of the harbor area.
The restaurant sits on the water's edge and most tables face the boats docked at the harbor. Eating here gives a clear sense of how close the catch actually is, with fish often coming straight from boats moored just a short walk away.
The restaurant is inside Ventura Harbor Village, which has a large parking area and is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding docks. Weekday visits tend to be quieter since the harbor draws many weekend visitors from the region.
Customers can pick out fresh fish at the attached market and then have it cooked right there in the restaurant, without going to two separate places. This option of choosing your own fish before it is prepared is uncommon along the California coast.
