Los Angeles has been a revered food hub for generations. Unlike most major cities in the U.S. which expanded outwards from a single epicenter (ie. downtown), Los Angeles developed outwards from a series of peripheries. Far more than Downtown, these distinct neighborhoods contributed significantly to the physical pattern of development in Los Angeles (Gabbert 2015). Malibu, California is one of the most physically secluded fragments of the greater Los Angeles area, a city notorious for standardizing discontinuity and dis-integration (Coquery-Vidrovitch 2000, 1686). Each separate neighborhood, together creating Los Angeles, is characterized by a unique but dynamic identity. Among these observable identities is food. This paper focuses on seafood foodways, domestically as well as globally, through the lens of Malibu Seafood Market and Patio Cafe (Malibu Seafood), a popular seafood restaurant and market which has been apart of Malibu since the early 1970’s. The dynamics of Malibu Seafood Market and Patio Cafe are in many ways reflective of the greater seafood industry. Therefore, through Malibu Seafood Market and Patio Cafe, we can uncover what current factors contribute to seafood supply and demand, and in response policies can be rendered more effective. Predictions surrounding the future of the seafood industry will enhance the sustainability of our current seafood model. Ultimately, implementing more enterprising policies will help with the continuation of our ocean’s species, confer the longevity of the seafood industry and selfishly, satiate the masses for longer with more delicious and nutritious food items.
