Andria's Seafood Restaurant and Fish Market sits right in Ventura Harbor Village, where you can pull up a chair at their outdoor seating with your dog and watch the boats while you eat. The fish and chips here are their signature dish—crispy, generous portions that taste like they know what they’re doing with fresh seafood. Their homemade clam chowder is thick and rich, the kind you can actually taste the ocean in.

The restaurant operates as both a casual dining spot and a working fish market, so you can eat there or grab fresh fish to cook at home. Everything leans toward locally sourced ingredients, which means what’s available changes with what’s actually in season. You’ll see locals mixing with tourists, and the whole vibe is genuinely laid-back—the kind of place where a dog at the next table doesn’t turn any heads.

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, which honestly makes sense given the harbor location. The seating area catches good light in the afternoon, and there’s usually some breeze coming off the water. If you’re planning to bring your dog, just make sure they’re comfortable around other diners and the casual restaurant bustle.

The market side is worth exploring even if you’re not cooking that night. You can see what the fishmongers are working with and ask questions about what’s fresh. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t feel touristy even though it’s in a tourist area—people are there because they actually want fresh seafood, not because it’s on an Instagram list.

If you’re in Ventura and want straightforward seafood without pretense, this is a solid choice. The harbor views are free, the dog company is welcome, and the food delivers on what it promises.
