Going to the Santa Barbara Seafood Festival for me was the equivilant of Murray going to a Shoe Sale Festival. Hardly my idea of paradise, but thoroughly enjoyed by Murray.
It was a rare cloudy day here in paradise, but its nice to see that clouds to make an occasional appearance.

I think this might be Seafood as fresh as it gets. You pick out your Crab, Lobster (small lobsters were about 3lbs), or Muscles... There were a few other items available too. But this covered most of it.
Lobster $16/lb, Crab $2.50/lb, Mussels $4/LB.
You then decide if you want it prepared to eat now, or take home. For a $3 fee they do whatever needs to be done, and pop the lobsters into these boiling pots.

Half an hour later, your nubmer is called, and there you have it, fresh Lobster.
However, Murray decided that he couldn't eat 3lbs of fresh lobster to himself (wimp!). So he had himself a half lobster, and BBQed Albacore. He says they were delicious. I can't speak for the seafood, but the bread and salad was a little ordinary.

The Albacore and Lobster wasn't enough, so that was followed up by a quick 6 doz natural oysters, shucked right there in front of us, and a couple of bowls of clam chowder.
It wasn't all bad for me though, I did have a bowl of brownie, strawberries and cream. Then of course Murray needed to go home for a nap after all that seafood... so I went shopping and had many successes at Lucky and Anthropologie.
A good day for all :)
