The Fish Market: Fresh Seafood Dining with a Stunning Ocean View in San Diego

The hostess at the entrance make you feel like they are doing you a favor and without education, but the waiters at the table are really friendly and give you nice advice about the dishes and drinks. The local oysters are really fresh, I just didn’t understand the ketchup they give you. BUT the octopus is another level of flavor, top tier, and the fried calamari with the sweet and sour sauce was a great combination. I will totally return everytime I’m in San Diego.

Unexpectedly great! Great restaurant and fish market ( lower level) . The food was way better than expected. We went after touring the Midway and just wanted to sit and eat and thought this might be a tourist trap. We were soooo wrong. Decent prices and food was great. We had the Fish and Chips and NE Clam Chowder as well as swordfish tacos and one person got a burger which he says was really good. Friendly and attentive staff. Parking is limited as is most of the area.

We came for a late lunch/early dinner and were easily seated outside by the water. We chose this restaurant as it seemed to have more fresh fish and gf options than others nearby. The setting was gorgeous on the water (but got really hot too). Service was good. Food was yummy too. The fish and shrimp ceviche was on point. The swordfish was tasty but a little tougher than we like. The poke bowl had good flavor. We’d come again.

Went here for my birthday weekend 2-14 and this restaurant is beautiful! Our table was overlooking the water. We could see cruising boats,people surfing,jet skiing and just enjoying the scenery. The food unfortunately very mediocre. But I would definitely go back again because of the breath taking scenery and the hospitality by the manager- didn't get her name but she was a lovely African American woman. She walked from table to table smiling and making sure everyone had everything that they needed. She put that extra classy touch to my first time experience here.

Although this is more like a tourist attraction nearby the museum, but their foods were very good, and we got live music in the evening so the atmosphere was lovely. The service is top notch and the waiters also let us know the happy hour offers. Parking is also easy, right outside of the restaurant. We will definitely come back again.

Lovely restaurant that overlooks the waterfront! I chose outdoor seating and we were actually above the water, not just on land! I could see the ocean through the cracks in the floorboards. There was a great view with the evening sun and boats on the water. The server was kind and the food was great. I’m glad they have so many seafood options since it is a restaurant by the sea. Definitely would visit again

As San Diego natives, my partner and I have always been eyeing Fish Market and we finally got the chance to eat at the restaurant. We had a reservation at 6 pm on a Monday night. We requested to be seated outside and our request was granted! For food we ended up starting with the Oysters Rockefeller which came with 4 (creamy spinach, artichoke hearts, romano cheese). This was the first time trying this dish, it was solid but probably won't order it again. For our main course we got the Fish and Chips but the combo with both Battered Cod and Battered Shrimp. The fries were super crispy as well. The cod was nice and flaky as well! We also got the Grilled Salmon with Pink Peppercorn Sauce (herbed potatoes, grilled asparagus, pepperonata). This was ok, the Salmon a bit overcooked but the rest of the dish was delightful. Also the food took an unusually long amount of time, not too sure what was going on there. Overall solid view, solid food and nice servers.

With an incredible view of the ocean especially at sunset and being in such close proximity to some impressively sized boats this restaurant provided both fantastic tastes and a memorable experience! The prices are great especially for the amount served and compared to other seafood restaurants on the water! The sourdough bread and rice were incredibly flavourful which was a pleasant surprise, we couldn’t get enough! Their fish had great texture, taste and were perfectly battered! I loved that each table outside had their own heat tower behind each chair to keep us warm against the ocean breeze! The staff were also super nice and accommodating! I highly recommend sitting outside or near a window for a unique viewing experience! We saw many boats, planes and sea life while dining!
