From its humble beginning at a sardine factory, Phil’s Fish Market and Eatery in Moss Landing has become one of the must-visit seafood restaurants in Monterey. For more than 30 years, owner Phil DeGironimo has been dishing up a menu of overflowing seafood options, from fresh fish plates to pasta dishes. The house specialty is Phil’s world-famous cioppino, an Italian-America fish stew with clams, mussels, white fish, calamari, Dungeness crab, prawns and scallops. Served in a tomato broth on linguine with a side of fresh sourdough bread, fans pack the indoor and outdoor seating to relish this iconic taste of Monterey.
