Line Cook/Prep Cook

Seaview Crab Company is looking for a reliable, hardworking, versatile Line Cook / Prep Cook to join our kitchen team. This is a hands-on position in a fast-paced seafood operation where every day can look a little different. We need someone who is willing to jump in wherever they are needed—from prepping fresh seafood and ingredients to working the line during a busy service.

The ideal candidate is a team player with no ego, a strong work ethic, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. You don't have to know everything on day one, but you do need to be willing to learn, take direction, work hard, and continually improve.

Seafood experience is a major plus, but we're willing to train the right person. A good attitude, reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to work well with others are just as important as experience.

At Seaview, we take pride in serving high-quality seafood to our customers and supporting one another as a team. If you're someone who works hard, learns quickly, takes pride in your work, and isn't afraid to jump in and help wherever needed, we'd like to meet you.

• Work efficiently and remain composed during high-volume and high-pressure service periods
• Help with opening, closing, cleaning, stocking, and other daily kitchen responsibilities
• Be willing to step into different roles and assist other team members when needed
• Identify and communicate shortages, quality concerns, equipment issues, or other problems to kitchen leadership
• Follow direction from kitchen leadership and contribute to a positive, respectful work environment
• Maintain a professional attitude and take pride in representing Seaview Crab Company

What We're Looking For

• Reliable and dependable — shows up on time, prepared, and ready to work
• Versatile — comfortable moving between prep, different stations, and other kitchen responsibilities as business needs change
• Quick learner — able to learn recipes, procedures, stations, and new skills quickly
• Strong under pressure — can maintain focus, quality, and a good attitude during busy services
• Team-oriented — understands that a successful kitchen requires everyone to work together
• No ego — willing to take direction, accept feedback, help others, and do whatever job needs to be done
• Hardworking — willing to stay productive throughout the shift and contribute beyond the minimum requirements
• Detail-oriented — understands that consistency, portioning, cleanliness, and food quality matter
• Good communicator — communicates clearly and respectfully with the kitchen team and leadership
• Adaptable — comfortable in an environment where priorities can change quickly
• Food and seafood focused — genuine interest in food is important; seafood knowledge or experience is a strong plus
• Safety-minded — understands the importance of proper knife handling, equipment operation, sanitation, and food safety

Experience

• Previous line cook, prep cook, restaurant, or commercial kitchen experience is preferred but not required
• Seafood preparation or restaurant seafood experience is a strong plus
• Experience working multiple stations in a high-volume kitchen is preferred
• Basic knife skills and familiarity with commercial kitchen equipment are beneficial
• Food safety knowledge or ServSafe certification is a plus
• We are willing to train the right person who demonstrates a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and willingness to learn

The Right Fit for Seaview
