Castroville, United States
Phil's Fish Market & Eatery
Phil's Fish Market & Eatery in Castroville, California, occupies a particular niche along the Central Coast: a working-market format where the catch comes off local boats and lands on the plate the same day. The room is loud, unpretentious, and large, drawing both agricultural workers from the surrounding artichoke fields and weekend visitors from the Bay Area. It operates as one of Monterey County's more direct arguments for eating close to the source.
