Santa Monica Pier Off The Hook Seafood Festival

Published on October 2, 2024

Off the Hook is an annual seafood festival held on the Santa Monica Pier in late summer. The event takes place on a Sunday afternoon and guests enjoy seafood dishes from over a dozen local  restaurants. There is also live music, games, and a hosted bar. This ticketed event raises money for Heal the Bay and provides guests with an opportunity to learn about enjoying sustainable seafood.

 

Enjoy tastings from Westside favorites such as The Lobster, Santa Monica Seafood, Blue Plate Oysterette, Raphael Lunetta’s Marelle, Michael’s Santa Monica, Crudo e Nudo, Sushi Roku, Blue Ribbon Sushi, BOA, Gladstones, The Albright, The Surfing Fox, Tiato, Santa Monica Whaler, and Killer Shrimp. Guests can try as many dishes as they like from each restaurant.

 

In addition to enjoying all of the tasty seafood bites, guests can listen to live music, participate in nautical themed games, take photos with a mermaid, and watch seafood masters go shell-to-knife in the annual Oyster Shucking Competition.

 

Tickets go on sale about a month before the event and start at just $40 for advanced purchase. All tickets include all-you-can eat during the event. VIP tickets are available for early access, an exclusive lounge, and selections from the bar. Buy tickets online at www.offthehookseafoodfest.com.

 

Proceeds from tickets sales for Off the Hook benefit Heal the Bay, an environmental nonprofit dedicated to making the beaches, rivers, and streams of Greater Los Angeles clean and healthy.
