I am pretty sure this article isn't entirely accurate. I think Phil's was in Moss Landing since 1982. It's too bad it won't be on the beach anymore. Sometimes you could spot a whale, but if you were outside you had to defend your food against seagulls. But this place has an amazingly large menu, and includes artichoke cupcakes for dessert. I am glad it survived.

Phil - responsible for my seafood habit in the late 80’s. Interesting guy and he can cook too.

Castroville is mostly Mexican restaurants. Hopefully the locals will warm to seafood.

Castroville used to have the Central Texas BBQ in the late ‘80’s when I was at Ft Ord. Excellent.

I used to work at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. I quit in 2000, left CA and never went back.

MBARI had moved Phil’s original shak on the Moss Landing beach across the street to the bay side. They moved the entire building. Guess they decided to move him again.
