Best fish markets in California: find options near you

We just had a very good dinner at The Fish Market, but the highlight was our server Jorge. Super knowledgeable and polite, kind, attentive, the kind of waiter you want when you go for dinner anywhere but almost never get. We also got to sit outside with an incredible view. We thought the food prices were fair, not extortionary, especially considering the location and how nice the restaurant was inside and out. Great food, freaking incredible service, and an awesome view. 👌

The Fish Market is not the place you go for a plate decorated with three edible flowers and a mysterious foam that requires a glossary. You come here for fresh seafood, honest cooking, hearty portions, and a beautiful harbor view. I started with the Maryland-style crab cakes with house Cajun remoulade, and they were very tasty: juicy, flavorful, filling, and thankfully more crab cake than breadcrumb-based identity crisis. For the main course, I had the wild day boat sea scallops with fried green beans and coleslaw. The scallops were super fresh, generously portioned, and worked really well with the crunchy green beans and creamy-crisp slaw. Simple and balanced. For dessert, I had the key lime pie. It was rich and enjoyable, though my only small complaint is that it leaned a bit too heavily on condensed milk. Still, a pleasant finish to a very satisfying meal.

One of the best (affordable) waterfront meals I’ve ever had. We asked to sit outside and ended up sitting right on the edge of the water with an insane view of the bay! Our server was very kind and helpful. We ordered the fish tacos and the poke bowl. The tacos were full of flavor with big pieces of fresh-tasting fish. Also the French fries were notably tasty. The poke bowl was perfect too. No notes! We left very full and content and enjoyed a walk on the waterfront afterwards. Side note – happy hour only applies to those seated at the bar! You can find some really good deals there. Highly recommend stopping by the Fish Market for some delicious seafood and amazing views!

Dining at The Fish Market in San Diego was an unforgettable experience. Nestled along the beautiful waterfront, the restaurant offers breathtaking harbor views that create the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The food was absolutely outstanding. Our table enjoyed several incredible dishes, including the flavorful Curry Shrimp and Chicken, the perfectly prepared Salmon with Pink Peppercorn, and the Crunchy Octopus. Each dish was beautifully presented, expertly prepared, and packed with fresh, delicious flavors. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service provided by our server, Noemy V. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was perfect. Her professionalism, warm personality, and attention to detail made us feel welcomed from start to finish. Noemy V is truly a five-star server and a shining example of outstanding customer service. If you’re looking for amazing seafood, spectacular waterfront views, and top-notch hospitality, The Fish Market in San Diego is a must-visit destination. Between the wonderful food and the exceptional service from Noemy V, this was a dining experience we will remember for a long time. #WhoisCoachCarter

Had an amazing experience at The Fish Market on the San Diego waterfront. The location alone is worth the visit — sitting right on the harbor with views of the boats, the bay, and the nearby USS Midway makes it feel like a classic Southern California experience. The atmosphere was lively but still relaxing, especially around sunset. The seafood tasted incredibly fresh. The clam chowder was rich and flavorful, the grilled fish was perfectly cooked, and the cioppino was packed with seafood. Portions were generous and the menu had plenty of options whether you want sushi, oysters, or a full seafood dinner. Service was friendly and moved surprisingly fast considering how busy the restaurant gets. Prices were actually fair for a waterfront seafood restaurant in such a prime tourist area. You’re definitely paying for quality and location, but it didn’t feel overpriced compared to many other harbor restaurants. One of the best parts is how close it is to so many San Diego attractions. After dinner, it’s easy to walk along the Embarcadero, visit Seaport Village, check out the USS Midway Museum, or just enjoy the harbor views. It’s the kind of place that feels like part restaurant, part San Diego attraction itself. If you’re visiting San Diego and want great seafood with beautiful scenery and classic waterfront vibes, The Fish Market – San Diego is absolutely worth a stop.

Absolutely loved it. We got oysters Rockefeller, steamed clams and mussels, artichoke dip and then pasta dishes. One salmon one shrimp and both were great, but we forgot to take a picture. Espresso martini and then I forgot what the other one was, but it was one of the specials on the menu. Everything was delicious and the service was also great.

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.

This place is a solid 10/10 across the board! The food is incredibly fresh, and the prices are very reasonable considering the quality you're getting. The facility was spotless and the service was top-notch-everyone was friendly and efficient. Quick Tip: If you're sitting outside, just a heads-up to be careful with the bench on the right side (visible in the photos). It feels a bit unstable, so just watch out before sitting down to avoid any accidents! Overall, an amazing spot for classic seafood. I'II definitely be coming back!

Delicious, fresh & well worth the drive & traffic! A colleague of mine wanted to take me out for lunch, & we decided on this spot with no regrets! The line was ridiculously long but it was worth the wait. The menu is a little pricey for fast food, but again, its fresh! I'll definitely be back !

Syncopated Pandemonium! Expect a line, but it moves quickly and is more than worth the wait. It ain't cheap, but it ain't "fast food" either. Excellent quality, good portions, and possibly the best seafood you'll get from a hole in the wall! Fashion District is nanny, so make a day of it, you won't regret it!

This is our first time at Fishman's Outlet and Fish Market in downtown L.A. Friends were telling me if you want to try fresh seafood and buy it got to the Fisherman's Outlet in downtown L.A.. After shopping at the flower district we headed to the Fisherman's Outlet for lunch it took us couple of minutes to get there to the restaurant. The restaurant is a historic landmark in downtown. We walk in the restaurant it was busy but not that busy we look at the menu display very thing is fresh seafood including they have a seafood market next door selling fresh fish. My wife and I decided to order the fish combo with shrimp and we choice rice instead of fries two drink and carrot cake. It took couple of minutes to get our order we went outside and grab a table and we sit to enjoy our seafood meal. The fish was amazing good it was tender and fresh and the shrimp were good including the sauces come with the meal. The rice pretty good also. The carrots cake was good also.

This place has been here as long as i can remember. The menu is simple. They are usually fast getting the food out. I do enjoy their fish and shrimp plate with rice. Its a good portioned meal. Definitely getting what you paid for. I frequent this place often.

Pricey, not cheap The food was good. Expect a long line.

I stopped by here with me and my partner after seeing this place on tik tok. It seems to be an older establishment and I like trying older establishments in Los Angeles but this was just not worth it to me. First the line was extremely long, I'm talking standing no benches nothing to rest upon and my poor BF was standing in that line for over 45 minutes. He graciously allowed me to stay seated at one of the benches because I wouldn't have been able to stand that long. Now he having experienced more of it up close told me that it was primarily due to customers not the people who worked there themselves. However I find that has no excuse if you know your customers are mainly like this then you should make accommodations to be more efficient. I'm sorry I still just find no reason that's the only way to get this food is to call in or stand in a 45-minute line in 2026. And then by the time he ordered it was still another 10-minute wait to get the actual food, overall making it a little over an hour from time of arrival in line to actually putting a piece of food in my mouth. We finally got the food and honestly it was just okay. The better didn't have that much seasoning. It wasn't fried crispy as we normally like our fish. The rice was just plain, I didn't try the fries, he said they were ok. The tastiest thing on the menu was the Char-Broil giant shrimp, now that is something worth going to this place for but not worth standing in that line for. We will not be back

This place has one of the best Poke Bowls in Fresno. They have regular Salmon and Tuna, spicy Salmon and spicy Tuna, or you can do a half and half. I always go with the spicy Salmon Poke Bowl with everything on it. It's $18.99 for a spicy Poke Bowl but they are not greedy with the portions, they hook it up. This place never disappoints me.

This place has a lot going for it! 50% fresh sushi – Marked down for a quick sale at the end of the day. In the pre-made cooler A surprisingly affordable (and very casual) Japanese counter grill serving a variety of Asian and Western made to order A full fish market, and lots of Japanese, Asian, and other specialty foods. And the icing on the cake is the friendly staff. Thanks!

I am rating it a three because I don't live here. My cousin says only place she will buy her fish. They dod have hood selection, prices were decent and had a variety of shrimp/seafood. They had a large section of different meat Jerry like elk and ostrich. Can't wait to try. A small restaurant that was busy so food must have been good.

Gotta go early for fresh sushi- the take out is good all day. Fridays for clam chowder. Good fast and local service. Super tasty food and good portions. The market is clean and organized. Seafood is fresh

Absolutely loved this store the marketplace has everything Japanese Chinese Thai Vietnamese Filipino Hawaiian wonderful store to shopping you can be best cooking world but if you don't have the right product it just doesn't taste like it should they were very courteous very helpful Vee the manager is fantastic

Central Fish is very nostalgic for me. I grew up coming here with family from an hour away. On this day I ordered the salmon nuggets which according to them is a popular item. It was very delicious. I have to agree with that statement. It is breaded lightly and fried. The breading was thin and the nuggets were juicy considering its fish. It was not dry at all. Then I ordered the veggie tempura to top it off and it was very good. Fried to order. I will be back and I will recommend this place. From what I can tell the made daily fresh sushi looked very good.

It was busy, understandable. My order was fish and chips, white meat teriyaki bowl w/ tempura vegetables and a side of tempura vegetables. Missing one of the tempura vegetables.

We've been coming here for years, and IMO the quality and prices here are far better than Tokyo Central in Emeryville. The fish and sashimi are much fresher as well. They also have a great selection of riceballs and bento boxes for lunch.

Came to purchase sushi grade fish. Fresh fish. You can ask for them to put it on ice for the ride home. People there so nice! Came with my 4 year old niece. One of the workers gave me Japanese cracker snack for her. My niece loved it!

Fantastic selection of fish, sushi, sashimi (sold in single person portions or cut off a chunk of fish), Asian vegetables, spices, fish cakes, you name it… service is prompt and friendly, the produce are fresh, attractive and appetising.

Amazing selection of fish and sashimi among other Japanese goods. (Fresh Asian Veggies, Frozen Gyoza, A5 Jap Wagyu, Oysters, Noodles) I love going here to pick up high quality sashimi for a sushi dinner at home for ~$100 (feeding 5 people) and that’s with A LOT of sashimi per person. It’s a small shop, but most of what you need for Japanese and/or oriental cuisine.

I am from Maine. We don't have fish market like this. In fact, we don't even have Japanese stores. It is so hard to find a good Japanese cuisine in Maine. This place is absolutely amazing! I strongly recommend everyone. They have sushi, sashimi, and delicious Japanese food and the price is excellent!

If you're looking to make your own sushi, sashimi, or poke, and want to pick up some delicious Japanese snacks, groceries, and ready to eat food as well, the Tokyo Fish Market is a stop you need to make when you're in Berkeley. The fish here is consistently fresh, and while it may seem expensive, the quality makes it absolutely worth the cost and it's still cheaper than dining out. The market is fairly cramped and small, but it's chock full of everything you'd need to make an exquisite dinner. The fish mongers are knowledgeable and friendly, and while the line can get super long, it also moves very quickly. All of the food I've purchased there is fresh and the service is friendly. It's a great stop for when we're in the mood for some fresh sushi.

This is my Go To place for shopping seafood and Japanese groceries. They have variety of sakes here. Staff here are also friendly and helpful. They cut and clean the fish for you to your request. Prepare ice for you as well. They seafood quality is the best. I love frozen hamachi kama from the freezer and they pork slice meat. They do have chicken teriyaki that can be re-heat up and taste good. Pork cutlet which is pork rib eye also have very good quality as well. Japanese snacks are also offered here as well.

The food and service were exceptional. We enjoyed a late lunch outdoors on a sunny day with a great view of the marina. Our server Kayla was amazing. We loved our meals. You can personally select fresh seafood for your or order off the menu. Parking is free.

This restaurant is geared towards groups with their platter options but they do have menu options for a couple. They have a "make your own" type of meal where you choose your protein, preparation style(choice of 3) and you get two sides. There are plenty of protein options including crab and lobster, shrimp, prawns, swordfish, and other fish options. They offer platters on the smaller size as well and they have sides you can order to compliment your platter. I had their popular shrimp platter which comes with veggies (potatoes, onions and bell peppers) and garlic bread. If you are a couple you can order this as well as side orders (white rice, red potatoes, street corn) and if you add a salad soup or appetizer it can be enough for two people.

Great seafood casual dining..near harbor so you get the sea vibe…fresh great tasting seafood…the trays are the best value for your money with whole lobster n whole fried tilapia…cajun seasoned shrimp n sausage n potatoes n serves 4 people good. Wish they added some corn on cob without having to pay extra because tray is 150.00 so adding the corn isn't costly but would make tray more appealing n more of the cajun feel. Potatoes are tiny bites wish they were whole…overrall you would enjoy the food if ur a seafood lover. Now their specialty hot sauces are amazing n I bought some to take home. Kids menu offered fried shrimp n cheeseburger. My husband got the swordfish plate. 40$ kinda pricey for the portion but it was fresh n tasty. Wish they offered better side options than just fries n salsa.

The staff is friendly, kind and welcoming. We love the original San Pedro location but enjoy this location so much more! We love and definitely enjoy coming back to this restaurant. Plenty of parking and lots to do in the area.

Food was good/okay! Visited the first time on a weekend. Made a reservation. There was some confusion near us between the servers that was distracting. Everything was just okay. Server was attentive food was okay also. Looking to really move this place. I’ll give them another shot probably.

This shrimp tray never disappoints. We went on a very busy weekend so the service was a bit slow but overall the food quality and atmosphere were great. You also have the option to hand select your fish on the first floor. Pretty neat place.

6/17/2026 = 1:20PM = 5 Star = 1st time here and we really enjoy it, the food was good , the view is great . We can visit again soon.

We came to Santa Monica Seafood for a birthday dinner, and it couldn't have been a better choice. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. The oysters and salmon were especially memorable—about as fresh as seafood gets. We ended up ordering far more than we probably should have, but it gave us a chance to sample a good cross-section of the menu. We started with a half dozen oysters and the mussels before moving on to the branzino, cioppino, and Yukon potatoes. Everything was excellent, and the portions were generous enough that we brought more than half of our entrées home for another meal. I'd only been to the seafood market once before, but this dinner reminded me that there's much more to this place than buying fresh fish. Since I work nearby, I've already decided to make Friday stops part of my routine so I can pick up fresh seafood for dinner on the way home. Would we come back? Absolutely. Whether you're looking for an outstanding seafood meal or fresh fish to take home, Santa Monica Seafood is well worth the visit. If you found this review helpful, give it a like so it can help others discover one of LA's best seafood spots.

What an incredible dining experience from beginning to end. We hadn’t booked, but the lovely lady at the door welcomed us with a smile and kept us updated while we waited for a table. We only waited about 20 minutes, and she regularly let us know how much longer it would be, which we really appreciated. Once we were seated, our waiter was friendly, attentive and efficient. He took our drinks and food order promptly and made us feel very welcome. We started with a Caesar salad and a fresh crab meat starter, and both were absolutely delicious. The quality and freshness were exceptional. For our mains, my husband had the famous Cioppino, which was packed with fresh seafood and full of flavour. I had the sea bass, and without exaggeration, it was the best sea bass I have ever eaten. Perfectly cooked with crispy skin and beautifully balanced flavours. Every dish was outstanding, and you could really taste the freshness and quality of the seafood. If I lived in Santa Monica, I would be here all the time. This was one of the best meals of our California trip and a restaurant we would recommend without hesitation. Five stars all the way!

Delicious and fresh seafood! We ate the sit down cafe inside and I had the ahi tuna. It came with a heap of mashed potatoes and asparagus. The tuna was perfectly seared and so tender. At first it didn’t look like much food but it turned out to be more filling than I thought. Definitely worth the stop for some fresh seafood! You’ll have to find street parking and walk a few blocks to get here.

Feast For Your Eyes And Your Belly. The epitome of freshness and variety I have seen this company on the shelves in supermarkets pre-packed items. I had no idea that the store location was in Santa Monica and you could walk in there and it felt like an exhibition or a museum displayed with excellence. Everything was in its place. They had so many varieties. They had inside seating they had a bar they had a fresh section with really different varieties of seafood and they had prepackage goods section . It’s a treat for the eyeballs and a treat for your belly. I ordered the fish and chips. I am from England so my scrutiny was high. I was not disappointed. The fish was super fresh and the crispy coated batter was freaking Yum Yum. Yum Yum. The chips aka fries were good too. It brought back nostalgia of being in London and being able to go into a fish and chip shop, so for me the visit was completely lovely and I will be back. It is now added to my list of yummy eateries.

THE best seafood market in LA, and fun fact the have a restaurant and oysters bar inside. You can’t beat the quality of this market and it’s the perfect on stop shop as the have a small wine, cheese, and produce section. We stopped in for caviar for our Oscar party and they were very helpful with us making a selection. I’ve been to the restaurant side a few time and have never been disappointed with the meals. Always something fresh and delicious to try.

I had a wonderful experience at this fish market. Everything was incredibly fresh with a great selection of seafood. Place was clean and well organized. I also loved that you can eat there on site — the freshest oysters and delicious fish, all incredibly high quality and full of flavor. Prices were fair, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone who loves fish and seafood.

Absolutely unreal seafood experience. From the second you walk in, you can tell this place is the real deal. The freshness, quality, atmosphere, and attention to detail are on another level. Easily some of the best seafood I’ve had anywhere in the country. The oyster bar was phenomenal, the fish tasted like it came off the boat an hour ago, and everything was prepared perfectly without trying too hard. This isn’t one of those trendy "Instagram seafood" spots — this is a legit seafood institution that’s been mastering the craft for decades. The market side alone is worth the visit. Walking through the cases of fresh fish, shellfish, sauces, and specialty items feels like Disneyland for seafood lovers. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re anywhere near Santa Monica and appreciate high-quality seafood, do yourself a favor and go here immediately. Absolute gem of a place. 10/10! Since 1939, the market has built a reputation around high-quality seafood and sustainable sourcing, which really comes through in the experience. 

Fish King has been in business it seems forever. We love the place. It has the best service. I think it is family owned and Joe is great. The entire staff is great. They know everything about their fish and even the things they sell that you want to use to make your fish. The place is always clean and fresh smelling. The prices are very fair. The wait for service is never long. They have the best salmon and white fish around. They clearly get fresh fish daily. We have never had a bad experience. They even have a place to eat and they make prepared food for you. It is wonderful. Parking is easy and the staff is the best so have fun and go there. You will not be disappointed.

Really wanted to pick up some fish so I finally made the drive here. Picked up sablefish and branzino. Detoured at the poke. Normally I buy sashimi grade fish and make my own sauce but wanted to try theirs. Got salmon, hamachi and tuna. Spent more than I intended but I got a good amount of food so it will last me over a week. They had small selection of sauces you could pick up for your fishes as well. Butcher was friendly and patient. Will definitely be back.

I ordered their grilled trout with steamed veggies & sweet potato fries. Everything was perfectly average. Fries were a little soggy, but that tends to happen with pick up orders. I would definitely recommend the trout. It was well cooked and not over-seasones, you just got to watch out for bones. Over all, a serviceable, decently priced lunch.

We had the grilled shrimp, and fish tacos and they were really good! The fried scallops were good, but the fried shrimp and scallops batter was excessive and over cooked. Taste great! Too much batter, but still a 4/5 would return. Great selection, cooked fresh, definitely will go back

Amazing market and restaurant offering very fresh seafood and poultry. We went for lunch but the market had lots of fresh and high quality items. The food was also amazing, you order at the counter and there are two main seating areas. The swordfish was the best I have ever had, and the poke bowl was delicious. The sides were really great but I wish the portions were bigger. The swordfish wad perfectly cooked and did not taste fishy at all. The staff are very helpful and friendly, working hard and fast to serve up amazing food.

The is a real local's place. You can tell that from the time you open the door. They have an extensive fresh fish selection that you can take home and chef yourself. Or, if you're like me, you can get something freshly prepared by the pros at this place. I got a poke combo plate and a side of crab cakes. The poke was solid. Better than any "pineapple/corn" BYOB poke spot, but not the best I've had in LA. The crab cakes were excellent though! Thick, plump, filled with real actual crab. Super filling too I recommend this place. I imagine the fresh grilled + fried fish may be even better than the poke.

For many years, my family and I have consistently visited Fish King, enjoying sushi, poke, and more. We have been satisfied for years, continuing despite rising costs because it’s been a favorite. We’ve never complained and always valued the remarkable food. Yet now, it is deeply upsetting. I spend over $100 for a meal, and the manager argues over a side of spicy mayo and ginger. When I ask, he tells us, "Sorry, but everything is expensive right now, but here you go, this time you can have an exception!" I remember previously, there was only one time when something wasn’t right, and I asked them to fix it. The same manager gave me faces, as if I do this every time. I’m a longtime loyal customer, and that was the only time I ever complained. Yet he acts as if I do this on purpose. I honestly wonder why they have him as a manager. I believe a manager should handle things smoothly and ensure customers are happy. All these years, we never complained. We never felt bad or mistreated. I don’t know what changed, whether it’s a new owner or new rules, but it is truly disappointing. I sincerely hope the policies are reconsidered to ensure loyal customers are treated respectfully. We never felt this way before. This is disheartening, that after spending over $100, I am told to pay cents. The issue is not the money. If I can spend $200 or more, it is negligible. However, it is the principle. The service has deteriorated so much that it feels as if customer care is no longer a priority. I hope that whoever instituted these rules takes this feedback seriously. I did not mean to write this to complain or put anyone in trouble. This review comes only out of frustration, because a place like Fish King that’s been out there for so many years, and customers who are expecting things to remain respectfully the same, it is very disappointing to feel disrespected and not valued. I mean, it doesn’t matter if it’s a loyal customer or someone new. We always share how much we love this place with new people. The point is the principle and care.

Seafood City Cerritos is more than just a grocery store, it’s basically a little piece of Filipino life in one building. From the moment you walk in, it’s busy, lively, and full of energy. You’ve got Grill City serving hot food, Red Ribbon right there for pastries and desserts (dangerous, in the best way), and aisles packed with all the Filipino snacks, ingredients, and pantry staples you didn’t even realize you missed until you saw them again. The seafood and meat sections are solid, lots of whole fish, cuts for grilling, and a great frozen section with marinated meats and ready-to-cook Filipino dishes. It’s the kind of place where you come in for "just one thing" and leave with two extra bags and a craving for something you didn’t plan on cooking. Is it fancy? No. Is it practical, well-stocked, and full of heart? Absolutely. It feels like a community hub as much as a supermarket. If you’re Filipino or love Filipino food, this place is a must.

Excellent experience. Ronnie in produce took the time to help us select a jack fruit using true expertise. And the price was only .99/lb… much cheaper than in Arizona. Thanks Ronnie!!!

Great Asian/Filipino supermarket that has a lot going for it. It has its own bakery shop inside (Red Ribbon) and a fast food place to eat. That place serves very good rice dishes and delicacies at a very reasonable price. The supermarket itself boast a variety of items, Asian/Filipino snacks, drinks, condiments, great selection of meat, vegetables, seafood and fruits. This is a fun place to get your groceries.

This is a Filipino Supermarket nestled on Norwalk Blvd a shy away from the 91 freeway. Within this supermarket are two food courts. Grill City to where you can pick any combination meals from Pork, Beef, Chicken and Fish. It has BBQ stall to where they cook either Pork, Chicken and Fish that you can include in your combination orders. All combinations have rice for those rice eaters. They do have a lot of choices cooked the Filipino way. The other one is Red Ribbon it is a bakery serving sumptuous Filipino cakes and pastries. The parking is great at night as it is bright and is spaced a car and a half away from each slot so you don't need to worry about people hitting your car side panel and ding it. There's lots of disabled slots as well. Did I mention that this place is close to Bank of America and Polly's Pies?

Seafood city-Norwalk do better! I purchased pompano I had it cleaned and cut. When I got home, there was missing pieces. So next time, never na magpa cut ng isda!!

Coming here make me spent a lot of money haha lots of good products!

If you some Filipino grocery item, this is place to visit. Lots of different selection ranging from produce, meat, seafoods and many more. Just a heads up when showing, check the dates of the item before buying because some of items is either expired or about to expire. Other than that, customer service was great as always.

I read so many reviews and was told to get here early. I HIGHLY recommend this. We came around 3pm and it took us close to an hour to order and probably a bit longer to get our entire order. We were a big party too. We had lobster rolls, mussels, chicken strips, fries, flounder and a few other things. It’s nice to eat along the boardwalk and beach at Redondo. The food was good. Very fresh. I would also recommend to the restaurant to give the cocktail, tartar sauce, and ketchup in the main line instead of at the drink bar. Too many lines! Otherwise, the parking garage is convenient and so is the walk to or from beach! Last, there was a really nice man who is a photographer and got our group picture. It was pretty epic.

I wanna give a special thank you to Brock, who works at the oyster section. His service was unbelievable he was attentive, professional, and really made our day, such a nice person . I had a great experience at this place. The food was good everything looked fresh, tasted delicious, and I really enjoyed the overall quality. For the price, it was definitely a good value. The atmosphere was also very nice. The only issue we had was with the fried calamari and anchovies it seemed like the inside was not cleaned at all, which made it a little unusual. I’m not sure if that is how it is normally prepared or if it was just missed that time, but it’s something that could be improved. Overall, I would recommend this place and I look forward to coming back.

It's always a pleasure coming to visit the redondo pier. It's nostalgic and relaxing. But I always have to make sure to grab some food from this place. Ever since I was a kid I remember this was the plave to eat when you come to the pier. I'm 34 now and it's still great quality seeverything. Classic clam chowder bread bowl always hits everytime. Everything was delicious. The steamed class and muscles, and also the smoked salmon and fried calamari. So good! Definitely come for the food and he vibe! It does get packed on the weekend and it is hard to find a table. But the weekdays are calm.

Atmosphere. It is what it is. Wasn’t expecting much. Supposed to look the way it does. There for the food, not the ambiance. Food was decent. Lots of fresh fish and shellfish to choose from. While there. Fresh Santa Barbara male/female crab was being put into the ranks. Can’t get any fresher than that. Three ways to have your fish cooked. Grilled, fried or steamed. Fresh crawfish. Not many places in California have fresh crawfish. Frozen yes, fresh no. That was a great option. Garlic parm fries. Very good. If you like your fires, slightly crispy like me, let the cook know. My son loved the lobster roll. We were there early. Good thing. By 11:30am, started to get very busy and food wait times were becoming longer than usual.

We had such a great time here! It’s nothing fancy at all, but that exactly what makes the vibe special. We got a huge plate of mussels and couldn’t stop eating. A lot of people had told me to come here. This is genuinely one of those places you just have to go to like a real local gem. Don’t expect white tablecloths, but do expect really really good food. 100% recommending this to everyone!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Kye is an excellent server. She explained all dishes we were interested in. The sand dab was excellent but needed more sauce. The calamari was the best!!! The scallops and shrimp was very good. The sauce not very flavorful and the bacon was not crispy or even cooked very well.

What use to be a lively, clean, fresh, fun atmosphere has become old, stale, worn and boring. I rarely will get too critical of an old personal favorite however yesterday was a "gastronomical " nightmare. Mrs. B ordered the halibut. The Halibut was what the kids call DAF. No moist flakes of Halibut Goodness!! The roasted veggies were raw with burn marks not Roasted. Service was good and when I spoke with the manager she offered to replace the Halibut which we appreciated and found to be much much better the second time. I ordered the Cioppino one of my favorite seafood stews/soups. A California original, i assumed (my mistake) a CALIFORNIA INSTITUTION like FISH MARKET could get it right. Sadly I could not recommend nor do i believe i will ever give it another try or not….. sad thought.

The scallop was absolutely delicious. It paired perfectly with the coleslaw and the lemon herb rice. Not only was it flavorful, but it was also easy on the stomach. I'd definitely order this again next time.

Excellent. Food hit. Surprised by the octopus. Dessert hit. Drinks were good as well. Danielle was my server and she was fantastic! Pictures are of the octopus, halibut, chocolate mousse

I was craving harpoon swordfish. The meat was tender and sweet and It was cooked perfectly 👌I had potatoes augrautin and grilled vegetables with a cocktail. My daughter had the little neck clams in garlic sauce, great for dipping the bread in.

The Fish Market is a beautiful and well-kept restaurant park in Solana Beach that feels peaceful and welcoming from the moment you arrive. It’s a great spot for families, with plenty of tables and 2 televisions near the bar to watch the WORLD CUP 2026. The food is priced high for a small grilled salmon with 4 asparagus it was $50 and more of a lunch portion. They have sea bass, clam chowder and a fully stocked bar. Our waiter was nice and friendly but it was slow and we still had to wait for 45 minutes for 4 entrees. I’d still comeback again just wish the food was made faster. Maybe they’re a bit understaffed but it was worth going in a Sunday. It’s walking distance to Del Mar heights and the Del Mar beach, Del Mar fair was open as well.

Same as it has always been! Quality food with great service. And atmosphere. They are updating the dining rooms and remodeling looks great. Try the au gratin potatoes… Best I've ever had. And the sourdough bread too!
