12 Best Places for Seafood in San Diego | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set in a low-slung modern building in La Jolla, bright and airy El Pescador has a case stocked with the day's freshest catch, as well as long communal tables for those who wish to stay and eat. The menu is focused on seafood, most of which can be selected from the case and prepared to your liking—grilled, fried, in a sandwich or “burro” (burrito), or in a salad. The sea bass sandwich with a draft beer is a classic pairing, but you can't go wrong with a traditional San Diego favorite: shrimp tacos. You'll see everyone from tourists to casual locals still decked out in their board shorts. There's an overwhelming post-playa vibe, and the pace and ease of diners reflect that—whether they actually came straight from the beach or want to feel like they did." - Archana Ram
