Seafood kitchen + Oakland staple

alaMar

A seafood destination shaped by family recipes, Cajun roots, Mediterranean memory, and Oakland hospitality.

01 · The kitchen

Seafood through Nelson’s two-decade culinary journey.

alaMar carries Nelson German’s personal lens on seafood: the food he grew up around, the dishes his mother and grandmother cooked, and the technique gathered from years of travel, restaurants, and service.

02 · The flavor

Cajun food with Mediterranean roots and Dominican soul.

The restaurant looks at the Mediterranean foundations of Cajun cooking through a contemporary Oakland frame, bringing together Spanish, French, Italian, and Caribbean influences in a generous, seafood-forward room.
