Outdoor seafood dining with an ocean view? Neptune's Net has that and more (specifically, beer). We're talking shrimp plates, fish and chips, oysters, clams, whatever. If it swims, they deep-fry it. And the New England-style clam chowder here is better than naked Twister.

Health freaks can get steamed seafood as well. Live crabs, lobsters, shrimp and clams are ripe for the pickin' in Neptune's giant holding tanks. Fresh corn on the cob makes a fine, if slightly odd, complement.

As for drinks, they've got beer in many varieties. The multitudes of hard-core bikers who gather here prefer Bud, Coors and other tasteless American pilsners. But Neptune's offers some fine yuppie beers, too, including the great, locally brewed Firestone Ale.

So fire up that open-pipe hog and get ready for an oceanside seafood feast that won't even set you back a sawbuck.

Warning: This joint is quite a ways up the coast, so the restroom facilities are portable and best avoided.
Directions: Just north of the Ventura County line on Pacific Coast Highway
