company description

It all began with Thos Carson and his father fishing and life revolving around the boat, BearFlag I, and a desire to start something using fresh sustainable seafood. Our doors opened in 2007 and the customers haven’t stopped coming since. Our flagship location opened in Newport Beach and we have since opened locations in Huntington Beach and Newport Coast in addition to our sister restaurants Wild Taco and Circle Hook. Our desire to provide our customers with the freshest seafood and amazing customer service is still as strong as it was on day one. We pride ourselves on employing the local kids and some of those kids have now been with us for years advancing in their careers with us. We love what we do and our employees and customers that make it all possible. “there’s nothing better than going out in nature, harvesting food with your own hands, and providing it to the people you love”.
