Escape to Barbara's Fishtrap, a Coastal Gem
Nestled along the rugged California coast at Pillar Point Harbor, Barbara’s Fishtrap has been serving fresh, honest seafood for over five decades. Family-owned and proudly local, we’ve built our name on simple recipes, generous portions, and flavors that capture the soul of the sea.
From our golden-crispy fish and chips to rich, homemade clam chowder and daily-caught specials, every dish tells the story of the ocean just beyond our door. Whether you’re craving a seaside lunch or a sunset dinner, our harbor-front patio offers the perfect place to relax, watch the boats roll in, and savor the coastal breeze.
Come as you are, stay as long as you like, and taste why generations of locals and travelers alike call Barbara’s Fishtrap a true Half Moon Bay icon.
Good food. Great views. Always from the heart of the coast.
