Though it's a good six miles from the ocean, The Original Fish Company seems like it should be sitting on a pier. The family-owned fresh seafood market and restaurant is Los Alamitos' finest dining establishment. Enjoy a top-notch meal of fresh fish or shellfish (flown in daily and prepared as you like – mesquite-broiled, fried, surf and turf). The abundant menu has all your favorites, from New England clam chowder ($6.95 bowl, $3.95 cup) to Australian lobster tail ($38.95 for 10-12 ozs.) and you can watch the cooks in the glass-encased kitchen right at the restaurant entry. Excellent, varied wine and beer selection. (Iris Yokoi, SqueezeOC)
