We're All About Family
Taking the bait from their fathers who started building restaurants together in 1945, King’s Seafood Company was founded by cousins Sam and Jeff King. Based in Southern California, our family owned and operated company is committed to the community, leveraging nearly 80 years of strong relationships to source from local fishermen and lobstermen. Stewards of the ocean and dedicated to our Guests, we exclusively handpick, cut and supply the highest quality product available to our own restaurants through King’s Seafood Distribution Company.
Today, we own and operate six unique restaurant brands across five states in 23 locations. This includes King’s Fish House (12), Water Grill (7), Pier Burger and three steakhouses: 555 East, Lou & Mickey’s and Meat On Ocean. All offer iconic dining experiences in great locations with menus that change daily.
What Do We Think About Seafood?
We're convinced that wild fisheries are unable to meet the world’s growing demand for nutritious seafood.
We're financing scientific studies to help improve the understanding of the magnitude of the problem and possible solutions.
We're working with various stakeholders (from ocean science to seafood business to government) to better define “sustainability” in terms that respect the diversity of our Guests’ interests and priorities.
We're promoting aquaculture as the most responsible option for supplying the population with abundant, affordable, wholesome fish.
