Position Title: Seafood Manager / Director
Location: Bodega Bay, CA
Employment Type: Full-Time | Competitive Pay (DOE) + Benefits


Bring the Ocean to Life — Lead a Coastal Seafood Experience

Set against the stunning backdrop of Bodega Bay, this is more than just a job — it’s a chance to build something extraordinary. We’re a beloved, family-owned seafood destination with deep roots in sustainability, hospitality, and culinary creativity. Now, we’re looking for a bold, driven, and imaginative Seafood Manager / Director to help us take our seafood program to the next level.

This is your opportunity to own and elevate everything from our fresh seafood case to a lively oyster bar, while becoming the face of a growing brand that celebrates the bounty of the ocean.


What You’ll Own:

Reimagine the Seafood Case

  • Curate and maintain a beautiful, chef-inspired display that feels more fine market than fish counter

  • Develop exciting value-added products — from crab cakes and poke tacos to seafood skewers and gourmet grab-and-go items

  • Inspire customers to bring home something special, with a goal of turning seafood into a must-stop feature of every visit

  • Use sales data to refine offerings, boost margins, and track your impact

Shine as the Voice of Seafood

  • Be camera-ready: show off your skills on social media, whether filleting a whole fish or talking about where our catch comes from

  • Bring sustainable seafood stories to life for both in-store guests and our online community

  • Teach, lead, and energize the team with your passion and product knowledge

Lead the Oyster Bar

  • Shuck oysters, grill seafood, pour cold beers, and keep the energy up at our bustling outdoor oyster bar

  • Train, supervise, and support the oyster bar team

  • Create a clean, fun, and unforgettable guest experience

Master the Business Side

  • Oversee all seafood ordering, inventory, and quality control

  • Build relationships with local fishermen and direct sources

  • Collaborate on menu innovation, seasonal specials, and operational strategy

  • Help track costs, pricing, and food performance metrics


Who You Are:

  • Skilled in seafood handling, culinary prep, or fish market operations

  • A creative thinker with an eye for display and a love of great food

  • Outgoing, engaging, and confident on camera and with guests

  • A hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, team-first environment

  • Organized, reliable, and ready to drive growth

  • Bonus: You've worked in seafood retail, restaurants, or culinary R&D


Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • Competitive pay (based on experience)

  • Health, dental, and vision benefits

  • 401(k) with employer match

  • Complimentary gym membership

  • Staff discounts

  • A chance to lead a program with real creative freedom and support

  • Work directly with a co-owner who’s spent 30+ years in the seafood world — and is ready to pass the torch


Ready to be the face of something fresh, fun, and full of flavor?
Apply now and help shape the next chapter of a seafood destination on the rise.
