Point Loma Fish Shop

Smoked Salmon sandwich with fries ~ delicious! Sit inside and still feel like you are outside, but you can sit outside. Order at the counter, find a seat, and your food will come to you.

Ok so I went two days in a row and got different things. When I went on Saturday it was plenty of seating, great cashier and parking lot is small but there is street parking. If you like oysters get them, if you like clam chowder get it. The onion rings are for sure some of the best I've had and the blackened halibut was good. Today I had the fish house stew it was good but I prefer the clay chowder, the tko taco, the lobster taco and the fish house shrimp that's on the favorites part of the menu were so delicious, food Is fresh, atmosphere is chill, I will definitely be back.

The food was very good. Slipper lobster taco 4/5. Mahi taco 5/5. Ahi taco 4/5. Fish shop clam chowder 5/5. Fries 4/5. Ambiance was very nice with open seating and plenty of sunshine. Very helpful staff. The only drawback is the location is easy to miss and the prices are a bit high. The higher prices do not take away from the portion size so that's nice.

Love this gem in PL! A variety of fresh fish cooked anyway you like! Love the variety & options! The pineapple fish tacos are the bomb 💣 the coconut shrimp with the dipping sauce also bomb 💣 found a new favorite for fresh fish!!

Great Lobster Taco, Bowl of Clam Chowder was a very generous portion - one of the best Clam Chowders I've ever had. They offer Military Discount. Only con is the flies/bugs flying around but being open to the elements don't know if it can be helped. Recommend

10/10 fan of this place from my initial visit approximately two weeks ago. Had some friends in town and I remembered seeing a few casual seafood joints around Point Loma, including this one. Finally got to go and was well pleased. I thought the pricing was reasonable. I did order quite a bit of food for just myself so my family got to try it when I got back home and they were all big fans. Definitely recommend. I also appreciate that besides some beers on tap, they also serve a few cocktails. I definitely recommend this joint and would like to come back some time. I also have to give kudos to the staff for their patience since my friends and I were so caught up in conversation, having not seen each other in awhile, we hadn’t realized we had stayed past closing. The main waitress serving food out front elected to start cleaning first which did give us the chance to realize about a half hour past that the rest of the restaurant was empty. We were definitely a bit embarrassed but appreciate being allowed the time to catch up with each other. Side notes, I appreciated that they went beyond the basic clam chowder for their soup offerings. Now, I did get clam chowder as it’s a personal favorite, but they did also have a fish stew and a clam chowder with sausage listed. (There might have been another? My memory is hazy on this.) I also liked that besides the main schtick of the menu, that seems to be choosing your seafood type and then how you have it served etc, there’s also some prelisted combinations. The friends I was meeting, don’t have seafood often so they were a bit overwhelmed by the options in that section of the menu and they liked being able to choose a combination already preset.

for context, I don’t normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so with their overpriced food that was barely edible. it was made with zero love and care - the clam chowder was so salty that I couldn’t finish it for the first time in my life and I love clam chowder. my husband also got the salmon salad and it was just a basic piece of fish on a very basic garden salad for nearly $30. I think their fried foods might be their only saving grace because it’s the easiest way for anyone to make anything taste good. don’t waste your money here.

Friendly casual dining. Order in the front, pay, and get your number. The staff will bring the food to your table. We ordered the fish and chips, a bowl of clam chowder, and small order of onion rings. The fish was quite delicious and chips was just okay. Chowder was very good with good amount of chopped clams. The onion rings were huge. We left extremely full. Yum.

Escaping the drywall dust of a home remodel, we walked from our Airbnb and found exactly what a neighborhood joint should be: Point Loma Fish Shop. This place doesn't just have a "vibe", it drips with the kind of unpretentious local culture you can't manufacture. Highlights of the Experience: The Guidance: Mel greeted us and acted as our culinary advisor, breaking down the menu and the "local favorites" with genuine passion. The Service: Lorena served us with a warmth that made us feel right at home, even while our actual home was a construction zone. The Food: Fresh, honest, and perfectly prepared. Whether you're here for the Spicy Dorado Tacos or a custom fresh catch plate, they deliver. As a small business owner, I recognize the grind it takes to deliver this level of product and service consistently. It's more than just a meal; it's inspiring to see another business hit the mark so creatively. The Bottom Line: If you're in Point Loma, sit down, listen to the locals, and eat the fish. This is the heart of San Diego.

Lovely place, good food. I would have gladly given five stars, but for one thing: the woman at the cash register (although very nice) had one-inch acrylic nails. Yukk. It doesn't matter that she's not the chef; it's the fact that she's around food with those talons. The owner needs to set some stricter hygiene standards.

We went for a late lunch. I ordered a cajun shrimp taco and a blackened sea bass taco. The shrimp was good, but the sea bass taco was phenomenal. My friend ordered a teriyaki mahi mahi taco and a chipotle swordfish taco. He said both were good, but he couldn't stop raving about the the swordfish taco. It's a drive for us to get there, but it was worth it and we definitely will be back to try other tacos and seafood items.

I've been to the Fish Shop twice so far and loved both visits. It's a dog friendly spot where locals and nearby base sailors enjoy food and drinks. Street parking in and around the neighborhood makes it easy to find a place to square away the vehicle. Orders are placed and paid upfront. The items will be brought over to the table. It can get extremely busy over the weekends and other typical peak hours. I found visiting off peak hours on a Tuesday best. There will be Taco Tuesday deals and it's far less crowded if visited before 5pm. The service quality can vary depending on who is working that day as with anywhere you go and eat. I loved the Fish Shop shrimps that was marinated in savory seasoning. I am glad I ordered it with a side salad because it made for a far more filling meal. The onion rings were melt in the mouth but crispy kind aka my favorite kind!! The clam chowder was a bit chalky and lumpy for my liking, but many others love them. I am looking forward to revisiting in the future.

Friendly casual place for you to get your fish cravings met. I recommend the plate which you get to pick your seasoning and 2 sides. Service is friendly and laid back. Nice and clean with outdoor patio that is dog friendly. There are heaters in the patio for warmth. Food is pretty great with good portions and good meat quality. Fish were grilled very well. I highly recommend you get clam chowder, too! 5/5 just for chowder alone and it's a huge bowl, too.

They have plenty of TV's to watch sports. The bar has three big screens! They have taco Tuesday specials and on Thursday they have oyster specials and cocktail shrimp. They have a parking lot behind their establishment but they also have street parking which wasn't hard to find a spot. They have spritzer which are delicious. I'd say most cocktails are around 14/15 bucks beers are like 8-10 bucks they also have wine. . They have pitchers special too. Their kids menu is a good portion in case you're not too hungry but want something to munch on while watching some football. Plenty of bars to go to in the area. Service was fast and the workers were nice and attentive

The food, the service and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Super friendly and very helpful and the food was incredible.

I came here for first time Sunday July 20, 2025, to meet a MeetUp group. When I arrived, the items on the menu were SO EXPENSIVE, I told other people in line, how expensive the items were. You see I eat at California Fish Grill with this same group, where the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are huge. I attached a picture of fried catfish on top of sweet potato fries and big helping of kale and chia seed cole slaw. I feel the prices for the fish here at Point Loma Fish shop were so expensive, that the only thing I could bring myself to order, was the clam chowder. The cashier showed me the bowl that it would be served in, and said the chowder was thick and delicious. It cost $12.25 for a bowl. But when it arrived they only filled the bowl 2/3 full, about 12 oz. I told her to fill the bowl, but she said it was "weighed" for fixed portions, and I couldn't get anymore. California Fish Grill 12 oz clam chowder is $7.99, 3 piece fish and chips with 2 sides is $13.50, or $10.95 for 2 pieces. Sides are generous portions. The Pt Loma clams were only tiny specs, and I didn't like the taste of the chowder. Not rich enough. Someone at my table said, "How's the clam chowder". I immediately stood up and said " I paid $13.20 for it and I DON'T LIKE IT AND I AM TAKING IT BACK TO GET MY MONEY BACK !" I got up from the table and took it back to the cashier, who also brings you your food to your table. It took 4 days to get my $13.20 credit back to y credit card. She rung up the refund as "Cust bad " (words on receipt) . I decided to get the smoked salmon belly taco, which cost $7.50. The salmon taco was mediocre, but was made much better when I asked her to bring me more avocado sauce, which I used as a salad dressing inside my taco. When I looked at the portions of the Plates that the other people in my group ordered, their portions were really puny. I can't believe they got such small pieces for $23. I only have California Fish Grill to compare with in my mind, and I have returned to California Fish Grill repeatedly, and I am treating my next door neighbors to eat there, cos they like fish places. They have never been to California Fish Grill. I see other Yelpers commented like on May 10, 2025 about the tiny portions at this Pt Loma Fish Shop, describing their portion as a "tiny sample" that cost $20. The Pt Loma Fish Shop doesn't have any catfish. But look at this picture below, of the Fried Catfish with choice of 2 sides that you get at California Fish Grill for $15.95. When I had eaten half of the fish someone came in late, and saw my half and exclaimed "Oh that's a BIG piece" when it was only half of what was served, and I told her I ate half already. I made two meals out of my California Fish Grill $15.95 order. At California Fish Grill, Fish and Chip Plate with two generous sides is only $10.95, and 3 piece Plate is $13.95, but at Pt Loma Fish Shop, Fish and Chips cost over $23 not including tax !!! Serving size does not look worth even $13.95 to MEEEEE. The reason why I am not giving my Pt. Loma experience 1 star, is the cashier was accommodating about the refund which took 4 days to post on my bank statement. She was civil and not rude, and did tell me that it would take a long time. Look at this picture below, of the Fried Catfish with choice of 2 sides that you get at California Fish Grill for $15.95 CFG sides are not served in a tiny ramekin, either! It's a big pile! I take one half the side for another meal. The CFG cook made the mistake of putting the fish fillet on top of newly fried sweet potato fries, which made the fries all soggy. But they made me another batch and put it in a bowl. I give CFG 5 stars at each location I eat at. I first discovered California Fish Grill when they gave Yelp Eliters a free entree, and I have been ordering the fried catfish plate ever since. See picture below.

Yum. Service is friendly and fast and their food is amazing. I'm not a big sea food or fish person in general, but I love the mahi mahi here! I ordered the Elote taco and some fries and they were amazing. Fries are fresh! Taco is stuffed to the brim and mahi mahi tasted perfect. Ambiance is casual and relaxed. I love coming here and chatting with the friendly staff members! They have tvs to entertain yourself with sports. Today it's baseball and golf!

THE FISH SHOP Located in the beautiful neighborhood of Point Loma . Only 5 minutes away from the San Diego airport. This local gem did not disappoint. We tried the shrimp civeche and it was so fresh and delicious. 100/10 I'll be getting it again next time, it's a must. I also tried the pineapple express taco, it was featuring perfectly grilled mahi mahi and the pineapple habenero flavoring with a touch of coconut was a exciting burst of flavors! PS, the service was fast & the food came out fresh! Vibes were 10/10

Came here because I've been craving a bread bowl of clam chowder. Chowder was amazing 10/10 , bloody Maria 100/10, onion rings 8/10, Ahi poke 9/10!!! A must try! Service 7/10 kinda slow but the food is fresh, the girl taking my order seemed like she didn't want to be here. lol Ambiance is nice it's indoor/outdoor 10/10. You must order first and then find a table. Great place for a nice weekend lunch.

The staff was extremely friendly and made us feel valued. The food was fresh and delicious . I will definitely be a regular here .

Mitch's was closed apparently due to some grease fire. SO wanted fish / shrimp n chips. First day in town so just came here. Parking is a bit off as we parked on the street near some residential area. Place is on the corner. Open atmosphere. Orders are done at the entrance and it's seat yourself. Friendly staff. Clam Chowder - Rich and thick. One day hopefully I am this rich n thick. Not a whole lot of clam or potatoes however. Very tasty though. Yellowtail grilled w lemon garlic butter sauce - Well the lemon butter sauce wasn't really present on the fish. However the yellowtail grill and flavor was bomb. The fish wasnt dry and the flavor was fresh and delicious. The wild rice was meh. Fluffy but lacked any flavor. Even the grain flavor. Definitely felt healthy. Onion rings are perfectly cooked and delicious crisp and flavor. Shrimp and Chips - Fries were good. Lots of chips. Shrimp while huge and not overcooked the batter was amazing. Some of the shrimps weren't fully cooked all the way so the batter on the inside part was mush. This was on about 2-3 shrimps out of 8-10. Clam chowder is good and make sure they cook your shrimp. Grilled yellowtail was delicious.

Upon returning the food was again excellent, but I was the payer this time and noticed the starting suggested tip is 18%, and it includes tipping on the sales tax. Quick-serve places like this should have 10% as the starting level as the only service provided is the food being brought to the table. The inflated prices of late automatically increase the tip, so for me, it's a custom tip of 5% if the POS screen starts at 18%.

What a find!!! This is the pearl in the oyster! We sat at the bar and Farah was both our server, bartender and manager. This place is order at the register and they will bring it to you. The shrimp ceviche is some of the best I have ever had. It was fresh, perfect balance of flavors and so delicious! We had a blackened mahi sandwich and it was fantastic! The fries are thin and crispy, so yummy and addictive. We also had a redfish taco and a shrimp taco. Both were delicious, had a colorful presentation and were a large serving. This place is fun, wonderful when the windows are open and the breeze blows through. Farah was a delight to talk to. She makes a great Bloody Mary and cooked a shrimp fresh to top it off. This place is lucky to have such a positive employee.

Great menu options with plenty to choose from. Shrimp ceviche was delicious and the mahi mahi taco was fantastic. They also had a firecracker shrimp taco special for 4th of July which was great. The shrimp has the Fish Shop special seasoning on it and it made me want more. Friendly staff ready to answer questions and help you out if you need. Not great parking so be prepared for street parking. But they do have a small space right behind the restaurant but it's a one way small entry so you will have to back out. They have a shrimp seafood boil bag special that I am excited to go back and try one day.

Can't say enough about this place. Although they sell fresh caught fish of all kinds, I've only gone there to eat. So many options. My favorite is the clam chowder in the bread bowl and the fish and chips. I love the thinly cut French fries. Can't forget their signature tartar sauce.

I've been several Fish Shop locations first time at this one. You order before sitting down. They will provide a number and the food will be delivered to your table. I decided to have fish and chips plus a small bowl of clam chowder. Both were delicious! They always have fresh seafood here. I appreciated the batter to fish ratio was perfect. The clam chowder was really good. Especially on a cool overcast day like we had. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside to enjoy the weather. Staff is nice and restaurant is clean. Definitely would come back again.

The fish shop is mainly known for their oysters and that what I decided to indulge in. I just fully focused on their oysters and got 6 pieces from each of their 4 different kinds. The phantom was my personal favorite but I enjoyed trying them all. The servers were kind and attentive and the restaurant had a variety of different kinds of seating making it a very comfortable experience. I went on a Thursday which is when they have their offer on oysters making it only 1.25 dollars per piece which is pretty unmatched in San Diego. I felt like there was a bit too much flaked shell in my oysters but that is a common issue that comes with shucking oysters. Otherwise it was a good overall experience.

Came here for $1.25 oyster night on Thursday! Really solid and fresh oysters. The ladies behind the counter were really nice and answered questions we had about the menu. You walk in, order at the counter and they give you a number to take with you to your table. They bring you your order and that's it. A pretty straightforward establishment! Parking is around the corner and we had no issues finding any spots. We've come once before and had their fish and chips, fish tacos and their shrimp plates. I recommend the fish and chips

7 pm Sunday: Great place in Point Loma . Located on the corner, spacious with the atmosphere of a local bar n grill. There were quite a few seats available: bar chairs and table seats. The menu looked super complicated at first but after a few minutes I decided on a sea bass plate with salad and fries. The sea bass was fresh and well seasoned, I had it served blackened style with the house seasonings, fish was just a bit well done so lemon juice helped. The other item I tried was the fish n chips. Honestly they looked a bit overcooked and burnt but.... It was still super tasty! Street parking is available and location is just two blocks or so from shelter island area.

Easy parking, order at the counter and pick a seat, the staff will bring your food to you. Open air seating, which is nice option to have in the summer. The crabcake I ordered was good, and the horseradish remoulade was delicious. Not a big fan of it coming out on a few pieces of meh lettuce however. The miss for me was the onion rings, they were huge and in an almost hush puppy batter that was really thick in some spots and nicely crisp in others, but oily. Fish stew was delicious.

First of all, I'll tell you the good my scallops were very good. I had the salad and my husband had the vegetables and the rice jasmine rice. He loved it so I give that five stars. I also ordered calamari and I was very disappointed. The amount they gave me was a joke for $16 and also it was not done was very limp not like I'm used to getting up from them so for that, I have to give one star here is a picture of it after I heated it up and this is what I got.

Great casual and affordable fish restaurant n Point Loma. Plenty of street parking and nice outdoor seating along with some indoor seating if that your things. The line was a bit long, but it moved quickly and we received our dishes shortly after ordering. Great daily beer specials of local brews. Really enjoyed our experience at this location.

Great vibe for a local joint. Menu is very customizable and where else can one substitute fries for salad or rice bowl lol? Dog friendly patio with an awesome selection of local beers on draft. It's mostly self service but they are still very attentive in turning over tables

The fish tacos are decent. I could have gone with one taco instead of two because they are good size. The clam chowder with the andouille is delicious.

Great place to catch a game and eat solid seafood. Things you should know: I. PARKING There's a small, free lot. Easy. II. SERVICE You simply order and pay at the register. They give you a number and bring out your food. The beverages are self-serve. III. QUALITY The tacos taste great! The ceviche? Not-so-good. The avocado wasn't fresh and impossible to cut through. IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of seating for a Sunday evening.

Great local fish. I had the fresh yellowtail with slaw and fries. Super tasty and well prepared Selection of local brews was great too. A lot of the patrons were locals getting takeout (which is always a great sign) Would definitely eat here again

This is where we go directly from the airport! The fresh delicious amazing yummy tasty Fish tacos, salads, chowder & more! The service is always A+ and is locally run.. Wonderful place to have a drink with the friendliest servers! We go several times during our beach trips! If you want the BEST & Biggest fish taco head to the Point Loma Fish Shop.. You too will be a believer.

Uugghh sssooooooo disappointing!! This is my se one time here, the first time me and my husband came for dinner and it was spectacular! A little pricey but very worth it! Today I came and picked up clam chowder, fish n chips, shrimp and chips, and the seafood lumpia. When I walked in I used the restroom before I picked up my order, and to my surprise the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting! Both of the ladies stalls were full of urine all over the floor, toilet paper thrown everywhere and one of the toilets not working at all. There was no toilet paper in one and the trash was over flowing. That should have been my sign to leave and cancel the order. When I got my food it looked like it had just been thrown in the boxes and there was not that much in them. The clam chowder looked crusty on the top and even after stirring it it was really clumpy so it must've been the remains from the bottom of the pot because it was dark. Nothing tasted fresh and for my bill to have came to $100 I am beyond disappointed. It was a waste because we ended up having to go get fast food anyways. I'm sorry but please steer clear! PS: all of this makes me question the cleanliness of the establishment, not only because of the restroom being filthy but also the common areas.

Average experience and OK food. We ordered the Shrimp Ceviche, Fish Shop Shrimp, Mahi Mahi grilled and fried tacos. Shrimp ceviche - it was pretty good but very skimpy amount of shrimp. I had to dig in the bowl to find a bite of shrimp! I doctored it up with lemon juice, Cholula, and ketchup to give it the spicy/sweet flavor. 6/10 due to not enough shrimp in the order. Fish Shop Shrimp - 10/10 best thing we ordered and the chipotle aioli dipping sauce is delicious The tacos - worst thing we ordered. The mahi mahi was extremely dry, even the fried mahi had the same super dry texture. I didn't even eat the grilled one cause it was so bad. Avoid the tacos. Service is fine for a fast casual restaurant but they forgot my order so everyone was done eating by the time I got my food. Then they brought out the wrong order on top of that. I didn't ask for avocado on my tacos and I asked for my fried taco on flour tortilla and it came out on a corn tortilla. I think it ruined the whole taco for me honestly. They were pretty busy so maybe they were flustered in the kitchen? Not sure. But I'm not going to lie I was a bit hungover so it made the experience worse than usual. I'm sure there are better days and I'd come back to maybe try a different fish. Location is in a great spot for a quick outdoor lunch.

Delicious, we had the fish and chips and the fish and light and airy and the breading was perfect. The fires were crispy and delicious. Not our usual stop for lunch but we'll be back.

Expensive food and small portions, especially compared to other fish shops in the area. I ordered a salmon plate and fish and chips. The salmon was delicious, cooked well, and fresh, but for the price I just wish there was more of it! I got two small pieces of fish and for the price I just can't justify getting it again, no matter how delicious it was. The fish and chips were just ok, this was a bigger portion for sure but the fish and fries were both a bit dry. The service was excellent and I love the sports bar ambience there! Overall, the food here is great, but the portion sizes and prices are not the best.

Fantastic food and service. I had the poke bowl and it was delicious. All of their fish is wild except the salmon according to the server. A little pricey, but I would do it again!

Service is really good. Workers are very friendly and go out their way to help you. Open patio with nice tv's to watch your favorite game. Food really surprised me, from the smoke salmon, to the taco dorado and the creamy clam chowder

Over cooked shrimp, has a gas flavor it is so burnt. The got the wrong seasoning on one of my tacos. If you want to charge top dollar for tacos, make really good tacos! This place needs to take a hard look at their operations. Pictures tell the story.

I am a huge fan of this place. The fish is so fresh you might have to smack it. I take the fish home and cook it myself. My only suggestion is find a way to decide who is next for ordering.

To start off, I am not a "Karen" - I don't complain about customer service. I've been in a form of customer service for 23 years - so I'm not a stranger to the ins and outs. I created this account just so I can input a review on this woman as the way she treated my husband and I (and others) really bothered me - I couldn't let it go. The food was pretty good - I ordered a fish plate, grilled Mahi Mahi with veggies and brown rice, the veggies and rice were way better than the fish as the fish was a bit dry, but overall, it was a pleasant lunch. My husband ordered an Elote Taco and loved it. My negative review is all about the lovely lady who "helped" my husband and I yesterday afternoon. We were there December 7th at around 2:05pm a middle-aged lady with brown hair took our order - I wish I got her name. I am almost positive it was a leader of some sort as in the middle of taking our order she stopped and (in my opinion) rudely spoke to a young female worker stating that she has to put a food order in soon as she needed to start breaks..so hence my assumption. To start off my husband and I have been there once about a year ago (other time was perfect) because our lack of experience in ordering food at this establishment, we had a few questions. I started my order with a fish plate, but wanted her opinion into, out of all the fish you offer, which fish she thinks it better grilled..she heavy sighed and said "there all good" really seemed not interested in providing additional assistance. My husband wanted a few tacos, he ordered the Elote and then asked her "what do you recommend I order to have a taco that's like a standard fish taco, like a Rubio's fish taco?" ...again she heavy signed, seemed really annoyed that we had more questions and her response was "I don't know what a Rubio's Fish Taco is" so to prevent further conversation with this charming woman as she seemed very uninterested in helping my husband, he stuck with his one taco. The cherry on top of all this is as we sat down on the patio, my husband and I were discussing how unpleasant she was and that entire experience was - bummed we already paid as we wanted to leave, a woman approached me from another table and said "I'm sorry I was eavesdropping, was she rude to you to?" She went on to explain she was equally as rude to them as well, she stated she was a bit relieved it wasn't just them that had received that attitude. I get it...the general public suck, customer service sometimes sucks..but having the main person you speak to/help you have an attitude, short answers, heavy sighing and acting as if our presence and questions are inconveniencing them isn't a good look. Not that our lack of business will hurt this establishment, nor is that what I want, I want every business to succeed - side note: I always find it funny when a customer sates "you lost me as a customer" like it's going to have any effect the business at all.. But unsure if my husband and I are going to rush back to this place to eat. Or if we do...if she's taking the orders...we will pass.

So happy I found this place! We were in the mood for fish tacos and this spot did not disappoint. It was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon, but we were able to get a table. Street parking was pretty easy in this area. Dogs are allowed on the patio. We ordered a mahi mahi and red snapper fish taco. One with fish shop seasoning and the other with chipotle. It comes with slaw, cheese, and pico on top. I wasn't a huge fan of the Mexican shredded cheese, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. We also got the red snapper plate with garlic butter, onion rings, and macaroni salad. The onion rings are huge! And their batter is different than most onion rings. It's airy and when you bite into it, there's that nice crunch. Their batter is also very flavorful! Macaroni salad was a perfect pair with the fish. Even though it felt like a lot of food, it didn't weigh us down all day and give us a good coma. Pretty light and satisfying! Will come back.

These are the best coconut shrimp! Happy hour is a great value too! Bar and wait staff service is excellent! Love the casual relaxed interior and bar seating too! Great value. Plenty of free parking! Try once and it will become your regular spot!

Upon arrival I was pleased to find parking; this part of town is always tough. We walked up to the front counter and ordered Fish & Chips, Shrimp & Chips, 2 dozen mixed oyster varieties, Calamari, and some drinks. The girl at the counter was very courteous and knowledgeable. We ordered then went and sat down. The place was nicely decorated and clean. I also used the restroom, which was clean as well. Service was great, the food was great, and my experience there was great! No complaints here. Thank you Fish Shop for a job well done!

If you're in San Diego and didn't get seafood or Mexican, did you even go at all? Try out Point Loma Fish Shop to get your seafood fix. A fast casual style restaurant (with the prices of a full service sit down restaurant), you order at the bar and they will bring your food out to you. Two of us ordered a large sampling of things because our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. -Spicy dorado taco: is this the best fish taco I've ever had? No. But it's also not the worst. It was filled with a healthy amount of fish and slaw with a decent sauce. Not sure if it deserves to be called "spicy" but I accept that everyone has a varied tolerance for heat -Onion rings: not too sweet, not too salty. fried to perfection. Order these. A "small" is more like a medium-large and could serve 3-4 people -Shrimp lumpia: I'm Filipina and a pescatarian so I was very excited to see lumpia on the menu that didn't have pork in it. That being said, I would not call this lumpia. It is a tasty shrimp egg roll in a flaky wrapper and served with rice, but that's all. The filling was moist but had no traditional lumpia shanghai flavor -Clam chowder: above average because I could actually see and taste the clams. Get it in a bread bowl, you won't be disappointed Ambience is a cross between a sports restaurant and a beach side bar. Seating is split between indoors and outdoors with a mix of high tops and regular height tables, plus the patio is dog friendly! Parking is on the street but was pretty easy to find a nearby spot on Cañon. Located in a cute, walkable area with nearby coffee shops and small batch ice cream spots.

I always get a scallop taco and then one of the specialty tacos (make sure to look at the specials not listed on the menu board). Fishorizo taco has been a favorite lately. I prefer this location to Pacific Beach because it is less busy. The service is quick and the ambiance is very casual with tv's usually playing a sports game.

Tbh not great. The oysters weren't shucked all the way so I had to rip them out of the shell with a flimsy little plastic fork. The martini had full on ice cubes in it when it's supposed to be strained. The ono was dry as dirt, and the tacos were honestly too big to eat with all the stuff on them so they just fell apart. That said everyone was super nice!

This is the place to get fish tacos. This place looks deceiving, but the seafood is excellent. Most places only serve fried fish, but not this place. They have a great selection. I have a minor issue with ordering at a counter and tipping before I get the food. The place is like a bar that cooks incredible fish. I don't think I would go there for drinks; I would go for the food and have a beer. The restaurant is primarily outside-ish, has little setting, and could get packed. Try the grilled shrimp; it's probably the best I have ever had. I have been there twice and would go back again and again.

Beautiful day to order seafood outside of Point Loma marina. The shrimp was plump and tender and the fries were hot and crispy. Fresh coleslaw rounded out the platter. Seafood sauce, packets of malt vinegar and tartar sauce were available to complement the shrimp, fish and fries. I think the tartar sauce had a hint of Green Goddess dressing which gave it a little kick. The only complaint was bold seagulls and the lemonade machine wasn't functional so Dr. Pepper had to do.

Just left there on a date with my husband. Food was decent. I came to the Fish Shop and ordered a fish plate for about $20. What I got was a tiny piece of fish that looked like half of a filet cut down the middle and was more like a sample than a full meal (was so upset I forgot to take a pic). I asked the cashier if this was normal, and she said it was 8oz but offered to have the manager take a look. I've eaten at the Pacific Beach location multiple times and always received more than enough food to the point sometimes I have a to-go box, so this seemed odd to me. I've even taken out of town guests to the other location and have never had to question the amount of food. The manager walked over and led with, "What's the problem?"--not "How can I help?" or anything remotely welcoming. I'm wondering if I was a different shade if her tone would've been different because it felt like I was bothering her and that she automatically assumed I was a problem. My husband, who is very chill and laid back picked up on her tone as well. That tone alone turned me off. She repeated the same explanation about the weight and offered to remake it. Remake what? If you she says that was 8 oz or whatever their weight is why are we remaking it? I didn't trust a remake, especially after her attitude and the fact that the portion didn't look like $20 worth of food anyway. I left feeling dismissed and unsatisfied. Do better.

I look forward to coming here every thursday when I am in SD because of the $1.25 oysters that start at 4pm. I like this location because there is a decent parking lot and a lot lower key than the PB location- which if I'm not there at that location by 5ish the wait can often be 30+ mins (except recently when an influencer posted this location and oysters were gone within the hour- so get here early!!!!). I love that they have a selection of oysters and they are not tiny, skimpy ones like a lot of HH oyster places. I also appreciate they have a little bio on all the oysters so you know what to expect- and they change oyster selections pretty often. Mignonette is good too- wish they gave more though hehe. My boyfriend and I also always get the clam chowder (he gets the house chowder- which is the same as the clam chowder but with sausage). We also get the HH house lager. Our favorite thursday treat! While I'm glad the influencer boosted customers for this location, hopefully there will still be oysters on thursdays because it can be hard to get out of work and there by 4pm!

Fast and fresh! Order at the counter then have a seat. We had tacos and soup ( fish shop and clam chowder) I had the Pineapple Express taco that was both sweet and spicy. My hubs had the elote taco. Both were very good. Option of flour or corn shell. The chowders were equally good. The fish shop chowder had sausage as well as fish in it. Our food came out fast. Lots of seating inside and on open air patio. Full service bar. Very casual atmosphere and seemed to be frequented by locals.
