Seafood restaurants are a favorite among foodies and seafood lovers alike. And Bluewater Avalon, located on Crescent Avenue in Avalon, is one such restaurant that has been winning hearts since its debut in June 2013. The restaurant boasts of a stunning location with an over-the-water indoor/outdoor facility that once served as the arrival and departure point for the SS Avalon and SS Catalina steamers.

What sets Bluewater Avalon apart from other seafood restaurants is its contemporary Island-influenced fish house that serves up to 40 varieties of fresh fish annually, including local specialties like California spiny lobster, white seabass, and harpooned swordfish (in season). The intimate bayfront bar with a full wine list, wrap-around outdoor dining deck, kid’s menu, and small-plates menu make it an ideal spot for families and friends to enjoy a meal together.

The onsite market at Bluewater Avalon is another highlight where visitors can buy fresh seasonal seafood and shellfish by the pound to cook at home or choose from prepared meals and takeout favorites. Additionally, the restaurant hosts monthly seafood tasting and wine-pairing events on the second Tuesday of every month. These events give local seafood fans an opportunity to learn about the latest fish varieties, meal-planning, preparation, and serving techniques right from the experts.

Bluewater Avalon's commitment to sustainability is also noteworthy as they work directly with fishermen to serve only the freshest seafood certified for sustainability by the Aquarium of the Pacific and Monterey Bay Aquarium. All these factors combined make Bluewater Avalon a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Avalon.
