This is a small diner with a large reputation for the freshness of its seafood. While most seafood restaurants in the area serve crab legs, this one has fresh, live Dungeness crab inhabitating a glass tank in the restaurant window. Just the thing for anyone is adept with a crab-cracking mallet. Nothing fancy in decor or furnishings but great seafood! From the restaurant web page:
Welcome to Santa Barbara's elite family of award-winning oceanfront seafood restaurants. The Santa Barbara Shellfish Company family began on Stearn's Wharf in 1980. Originating as a fresh seafood wholesale operation, we began experimenting with some different cooking ideas. A popular place for lunch, The Shellfish Company specializes in steamed crab, local lobster and ridgeback shrimp.
