You'll find some of Southern California's best seafood at Fishing with Dynamite, Chef David LeFevre's tiny jewelbox eatery in Manhattan Beach. With seating for only 35 guests, getting a table can be tough; but the food is definitely worth the wait. Order a tower of seafood from the Raw Bar section of the menu – everything from oysters, Peruvian scallops, sea urchin, king crab legs, lobster and more – and start dipping into the assorted sauces and that may be all you need to be sated. But don't miss the chef's seasonal offerings, especially if the whole New Zealand Tai snapper happens to be listed. It's "First Dibbs!" for a reason, and a crunchy delight. The finger-licking good, plump grilled prawns are soaked in garlic, and save room for the pretzel and chocolate bread pudding served with house made ice cream, a dessert the likes of which you've never tasted.
