They still serve fan favorites like the Lobsticle on a stick (half a South Atlantic lobster tail, skewered, grilled and brushed with melted butter); lobster quesadillas with cold water rock lobster, shrimp, spice, mascarpone and melted jack cheese; and the Spicy Lobster-Shrimp Grinder with rock lobster, shrimp, green apple, lemon, and creamy habanero sauce.
Foodies claim that SlapFish's seared fish taco is the best in the business, with avocado-herb spread, marinated cabbage, pickled red onion and toasted garlic.
Other must-try dishes include fresh-shucked Carlsbad Oysters, and Slapfish and chips with flake white fish, crispy potatoes, and shallot vinegar; and Michael Harris' Gambas a la Plancha, with organic shrimp seared in a cast iron skillet with garlic and butter. (Harris won SlapFish's Facebook recipe challenge contest, and not only does he have bragging rights, but he can order the item free for life!)
SlapFish is in the Newland Center at 19696 Beach Blvd. The eatery is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. For more information, call (714) 963-3900 or visit slapfishsocal.com/index.html.

Film Fest to shine spotlight on O.C.
With Orange County's roots in the surf wear and action gear industry, it's fitting that the Newport Beach Film Fest would lead the country in action sports cinema events. The incredible NBFF Action Sports Film Series will screen 19 films from around the world that tell compelling stories of surfing, stand up paddle surfing, paddle boarding, skateboarding, skiing, snowboarding, motocross and other extreme sports from a historical, physical, and emotional perspective.
