Fishing With Dynamite

Fishing With Dynamite is a beloved seafood restaurant at 1148 Manhattan Avenue in Manhattan Beach, CA, created by Chef David LeFevre as a tribute to summers on Virginia's Eastern Shore and SoCal's vibrant beach communities. The cheerful, intimate 32-seat space is anchored by a lively oyster bar and a menu that blends classic "old school" seafood fare with globally inspired "new school" dishes. The restaurant has earned serious accolades, including "Best Oyster Bar" from Los Angeles Magazine, three years on OpenTable's 100 Best Restaurants in America, and a Michelin Plate in 2019. Guests consistently praise the bouillabaisse, raw scallops, and fresh seafood platters.
