SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD. PACIFIC FLAVORS. WESTCOAST STYLE.
Pacific Catch is a WestCoast Fish House dedicated to delivering high quality sustainable seafood with a unique perspective. The menu explores styles and ingredients found throughout the Pacific. We also offer a variety of Fresh Catch specials highlighting specific regions in the Pacific and seasonal offerings.
Ocean friendly restaurant:
As a proud partner of the Surfrider Foundation, we believe and support efforts towards the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves and beaches. We’ve made a commitment to reduce our plastic footprint and brought in disposable, compostable eating utensils and straws. We also recycle our fryer oil into bio fuel and compost all food waste and employ green building techniques in our new locations, including LED light bulbs, hand dryers, aerators on faucets, water-saving toilets and drought resistant landscaping.
Responsible sourcing commitment:
As a member of the Seafood Watch program, we are committed to sourcing seafood from Environmentally Responsible Sources as defined by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We believe wild caught and responsibly raised seafood fits beautifully on the same menu, as one ensures the life of the other.
Joint industry efforts:
Through our James Beard Smart Catch partnership, we have a chance to use our sourcing program to support industry efforts to maintain healthy, sustainable food sources for now and for future generations.
