"I'm reporting that Pacific Catch, a well-established Bay Area “West Coast Fish House” with 11 locations, is expanding into Southern California with its first San Diego restaurant at Westfield UTC as part of the new development at the former Sears site near the intersection of Towne Centre Drive and La Jolla Village Drive. The chain is a member of Seafood Watch and the James Beard Smart Catch programs and emphasizes both wild-caught and sustainably-raised seafood via a “wave to table” menu that ranges from sushi, poke, and ceviche to tacos, burgers, and grilled fish plates. Currently scheduled for an early summer opening, the Westfield UTC outpost will feature three different outdoor dining patios and an open-air cocktail bar. Pacific Catch is actively looking for more locations in San Diego County and, according to Steve Kelly, the company’s VP of Marketing, plans to open three locations in the area." - Candice Woo
