Brine Box

Fish and Chips made from Halibut was my choice at my initial visit to Brine Box. Enjoyed it although they charge 50 cents extra for their tartar sauce. Find a bench and enjoy lunch over the Pacific Ocean!

Visited on Saturday and was served quickly. I had the sea animal fries and they were delicious! The fish and chips, are amazing too. There is little to no seating, so be prepared to eat while walking along the pier or bring chairs to sit and eat on the pier. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again.

Stop what you're doing, walk down the pier, get the spam egg cheese sando. It's all you need in life. SO GOOD

I've been waiting for this place to open! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The food was super fresh and so good! This little gem is right next to the old ruby diner.

I tried the local blue fin tuna sashimi. It was paired with pickled cucumber, yellow beets, zucchini stem, smokey stone fruit glaze, and ogo seaweed. The tuna melted in your mouth and is definitely a must try!

I also had to try the seasonal salad with prawns!
It was a perfect meal for a nice sunny day. The salad had mixed greens, peaches, red onions, cherry tomatoes, and smokey yuzu vinegar dressing.

I loved the prawns, but if I got this again, i would try the albacore. The prawns need to be peeled, which got a little messy. If I had a place to sit and eat, this would definitely be ideal. But the peaches went so well with the shrimp!

All and all the gentlemen was helpful and friendly at the cashier, and the food came quickly. What better way to enjoy the pier than fresh local catch with masterful pairing.

Can't wait to be back! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This newly opened , locally-owned & locally-operated gem is exactly what Oceanside needed at the end of its famous pier.

Next time you take a stroll down to the end of this iconic pier to capture the ocean view, you can now enjoy a little taste of some healthy seafood.

Currently located within the shed next to the old Ruby’s Diner building, this place is perfect for a quick bite on-the-go. You order. To stroll around. Get your food and continue to enjoy the vibes. ❤️

Portions are very good compared to the prices and there is currently nothing on the menu over $20 and that’s amazing considering the quality!

You can find handheld bowls of goodness like, fish & chips, chowder tots, seasonal salad and my favorite, the sea-animal fries! It’s their fun take on In & Outs “animal fries”, but it has fresh fish!

Ingredients are fresh and they also support local and offer fresh-caught fish 😊

Note: There is currently no seating and no restrooms (use the bathrooms provided on the pier prior to the end)

I’m VERY excited to continue supporting this business and I’m even hoping they can take-over the old Ruby’s location and offer Oceanside the dining experience it deserves!

“For Locals, By Locals” is their slogan and there’s NOTHING better than having a locally-owned business at the end of our pier.

This place is a MUST!
