Best Clam Chowder Anywhere! 10/16/2008

I surprised my husband yesterday with a trip out to Half Moon Bay for his birthday. After a relaxing horseback ride on the beach, I took him to lunch at the Princeton Seafood Company restaurant on Pillar Point. This was our first visit to this restaurant, but it won't be our last! What a pleasant surprise for both of us! The hostess greeted us warmly, and seated us immediately. Our server, Melissa, was prompt, cheerful and attentive. We started our meal with oysters on the half shell, which were the freshest and most delicious oysters we have ever had (& we have them often!) The perfectly seasoned homemade New England style clam chowder was the best we've ever eaten (east or west coast). My husband ordered fish and chips and I had the fried calamari. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Marty (the owner) took the time to meet & talk with us during the busy lunchtime, and made us feel very welcome. The ambiance was clean, casual and comfortable. The menu offered a nice variety and was reasonably priced. The ample portions were more than adequate: We took home leftovers, & skipped dinner. We live in San Jose, & usually go to Santa Cruz when dining out for seafood, as we are very picky about having only fresh seafood; but we think driving the extra few minutes is definitely worth the trip over to Half Moon Bay for a great meal at the Princeton Seafood Company restaurant. Not at all pretentious, just a really nice down-to-earth place to eat. Pros: Excellent Food and Service. more

Clam chowder rocks! 3/14/2008

The food is great, and so is the atmosphere! I would definitely recommend this place. Their clam chowder is the best I have ever tasted, anywhere, period. My best hint? Sign up for their e-club--they give you these awesome coupons. more

Great customer service 9/14/2006

Seafood was very fresh. They pulled crab from the market even though they did not have it on the menu. The wait staff was very friendly. more

Owner Message
  • In 1979, Mary and Marty Botham moved to California to start Princeton Seafood Company. Beginning as a fish wholesale business, they quickly expanded to sell mouth-watering fish & chips, clam chowder, and other traditional dishes alongside the full service seafood market. Thirty years later, the restaurant menu still uses the award-winning clam chowder recipe that Marty's Mom created. But the menu today reflects local tastes, with an emphasis on fresh, healthy meals prepared in an authentic California style. Grilled fish selections, paired with flavorful vegetables and pastas, are fresh-off-the-boat, mainly sourced from local fishermen right here in Half Moon Bay. Dedicated to the community, Mary and Marty open their doors to many non-profits and educational events. Schoolchildren are welcomed several times a year to learn how restaurants work, and how seafood makes it from boat to kitchen to table. Every month, Princeton Seafood Co sponsors Cool Harbor Nights where they partner with a local non-profit in a 50/50 drawing that brings in much-needed funds. The Bothams welcome you to enjoy all the attractions of Pillar Point Harbor and the Half Moon Bay Coastside, and of course, the fine food at Princeton Seafood Company market and restaurant.
