    O SEA — a seafood restaurant of time and place in the historic Plaza district of Old Towne Orange, recently recognized by the Los Angeles Times as the Best Seafood Restaurant in Orange County and by Wine Spectator Magazine with an Award of Excellence. Something fun, something different, something fresh — O SEA is where seafood is headed. Think salmon ceviche in coconut leche de tigre, tuna poke in gochujang dressing, crispy oaxacan hot shrimp, west coast oysters on the half with thai red curry and tajin’d lime.
    Responsibly-procured, best-in-class products, served consistently and at a value, with deeply craveable and seasonal flavors — welcome to O SEA.

    Established in 1998, King’s Fish House is Orange’s choice for seafood. Located at the Stadium Promenade and minutes away from Angels Stadium and the Honda Center, King’s Fish House features a large selection of fresh oysters, seasonal catches, sushi and live shellfish, including lobster and crab, on a menu that changes daily.
    We’ve been in restaurants a little while – three generations, to be precise. A long time ago, we embarked on a road trip in search of the ultimate seafood experience. We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.
    Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.
    Come gather with us, celebrate, relax and enjoy a seafood dining experience of high quality, comfort, service and value.
