"There is no better weekend decision than pulling off Pacific Coast Highway as signage for Malibu Seafood draws impossibly nearer in the foreground. The seafood shack has delighted hikers, roadtrip-weary travelers, and beach-goers since it opened in 1972. Here, find all the seafood stand favorites: deep-fried seafood plates, which, beyond the fish and shrimp standard, features clam strips, squid, and oysters; fish sandwiches topped with vinegary coleslaw; grilled seafood platters with proteins like freshly caught halibut, swordfish, and Ahi tuna served alongside crispy crinkle-cut French fries, steaming rice pilaf, or a butter-slathered baked potato. All can be enjoyed from the its tiered patio set-up, which provides ample views of the Pacific Ocean before it. *Malibu Seafood is reopening Friday, January 17." - Eater Staff
