Monterey Bay's Bounty: Seafood to Savor This Fall

Fall along the Monterey coast brings a different kind of harvest -- one that comes from the sea. As waters cool and the season shifts, Monterey Bay offers some of the freshest, most flavorful seafood of the year. At Montrio, this bounty inspires our autumn menu.

The Season's Best from the Bay

Monterey Bay is home to one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the world. In fall, the changing water temperatures bring different species to peak availability.

• Dungeness Crab -- Rich, sweet, and iconic to the Central Coast
• Pacific Halibut -- Delicate and flaky, perfect for fall preparations
• Day-Boat Scallops -- Sweet and tender, seared to golden perfection
• Local Oysters -- Plump and briny from the cooler waters

Sustainability at the Core

Every seafood dish at Montrio reflects our commitment to responsible sourcing. We follow the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch guidelines and partner with local fisheries that share our values.
