Founded generations ago by our family of fishing enthusiasts, we have transformed our passion for the ocean into a trusted business committed to quality, sustainability, and community.

Our mission is simple: to bring you the freshest, most responsibly sourced seafood imaginable. We combine traditional harvesting methods with modern sustainability practices to ensure that every fish, crustacean, or shellfish meets our exacting standards. Whether you’re seeking salmon, crab, shrimp, or seasonal specialties, our team is dedicated to providing superior quality while preserving marine life for future generations.
Generations of Expertise: Our family has fished these waters
for decades, perfecting our techniques and building strong local partnerships.
Sustainably Sourced: We follow best practices and regulations
that protect our oceans, ensuring minimal bycatch and healthy marine ecosystems.
Unmatched Freshness: Direct from our boats to your doorstep,
we maintain a cold-chain process that guarantees peak flavor and texture.
Community-Focused Values: By supporting local fishers and
conservation programs, we give back to the waters that have sustained us for so long.
Led by the Charest family, Santa Barbara Live Seafood began as a father-and-son venture dedicated to sharing the bounty of our coastal waters with neighbors and friends. Over time, our small crew expanded—yet we’ve never lost the personal touch and family spirit that defines us. Whether it’s an intimate dinner at home or a full-scale restaurant supply order, our founder and team bring the same passion and expertise to every catch and delivery.
