"Since 1951, folks in search of fresh, well-prepared seafood have headed to this bright-red former bank building. Also a fish market, the Crab Cooker has a casual atmosphere of humble wooden tables, uncomplicated smoked and grilled preparations, and meticu..."

"The sister restaurant to Tustin Field's Crab Cooker, this casual fish market is so good that, according to legend, even President Nixon once stopped by---and was told to wait in line along with everybody else. In addition to several fresh fish selections,..."
