The Reel Inn is a Malibu institution, serving seriously fresh fish for decades (since 1986, actually) from its shack-like spot on Pacific Coast Highway. In fact, it doubles as a fish market for locals who prefer to grill their own scallops, shrimp, Ahi tuna or any of the numerous other shellfish and seafood on offer here. But most people prefer to let The Reel Inn do the cooking, choosing from the changeable chalkboard menus that always include fried fish dishes, fish tacos, fish quesadillas and seafood pasta. Be sure to find a spot on the patio to settle in for your down-home fish dinner, for it is a convivial place; and be sure to grab a pitcher of beer, glass of wine or cocktail inside before you begin, for even though The Reel Inn looks like a shack, it's got all the amenities you need for a delicious, casual meal.
