Sometimes, simple is best -- especially so for L.A., where food is often gussied up with sauces, foams, gelees and mousses (which is at least one restaurant's downfall.) Oh yea, plus that fact that basic meals are easy on the budget too. And that's exactly what I sought after when I had to do some weekend business near Pepperdine U., which I doubled into a half-day trip to explore Malibu.

We set out for Malibu on Saturday around 11:30 and made great time heading out the 101 and over the brilliant Kanan Dune Rd with amazing views of the Pacific as we sped down towards PCH. We wanted to eat before hitting the beach and I knew Greg would love Malibu Seafood so we parked across the street and dodged traffic as we ran across the street to wait in line. I ordered the Seafood Combo which is a fried basket of the greatest hits: fish, scallops, oysters, shrimp and fries. All were excellent but I thought the best was the fish which was perfectly moist and flakey. Sara had a fried fish and a fish taco which she loved; Greg had the fried shrimp which he also loved. We had a nice view of the Pacific from our covered picnic table on one of the lower dining patios. I hope to make it out to the 'bu again soon and next time I'm ordering the two-piece fish basket and calling it a day. Oh, the beach was amazing too and I even got in the water for the first time this year. Lovely afternoon.
