The Fish Market

Went for anniversary early dinner. Our server "Sully" was amazing!! Her recommendations were spot on, with my blackened hokkaido scallops and my hubbys grilled ahi tuna. Even the sides she recommended went perfect with our main dishes. Very friendly yet subtle, making us feel VIP from start to end! Even brought us sweets on the house and wished us happy anniversary! Great servers are hard to find these days. The Fish Market always delivers with great food, awesome view, and amazing hospitality!! Thank you for a memorable anniversary dinner!!!

We visited this place twice during our visit to San Diego. We were pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food and the quality of service. We recommend choosing a table outside by the water, it is very cozy. It is nice to watch the yachts sailing by and the seagulls flying. As for the food itself, it was simply excellent! The crab, octopus and oysters looked amazing on the plate, drooling instantly.

I came with family members here. Waited ~30 minutes for an outside table as the view is phenomenal. If I wanted to sit inside, there was immediate availability. We ordered the calamari and baked oysters for appetizers, both were fantastic, 10/10. For the main entrees, you choose between fresh catch (wide variety, one way of cooking only, which is grilling, and two sides of your choice with it) or a speciality plate. We got the garlic prawn linguine, which was good, 9/10. We also got two plates of halibut (fresh catch), which was a good 8/10. I just wish they offer different ways of cooking. For example, if you sear the halibut in garlic butter, it would taste better than grilling. Not sure why they don’t allow different ways of cooking 🙁, but it is a little disappointing. Overall, I would recommend the restaurant. Good food and amazing atmosphere.

Glad we got this spot while visiting San Diego. It's right by the USS midway and seaport village so can be busy. You can make reservations online for outdoor or indoor seating. We made reservations for 7 at 7 pm about an hour and half ahead of time. It was fairly busy for a weekday night. Service was very good. Also worth noting that the children's menu had activities that did a great job entertaining my three kids (ages 9, 9, 11). Never commented on this in a review but it was much more than just a coloring sheet and was challenging enough and kept the interest of older kids. Highly appreciated! Wanted to get some sea food while in town. Our waitress, Sam, was knowledgeable and gave good info to make an informed decision. Tried the fish/prawns and chips which made it a more reasonable portion than the fish and chips. Go that route if you want lots of fish! I tried the Alaska halibut which was fresh as the season just started in early April. This was grilled and the veggies and green beans were great as well. I tried the key lime pie for dessert and highly recommend with a fresh Graham cracker crust and a couple fresh berries on the side.

Had an amazing lunch at The Fish Market in San Diego! We grabbed drinks and shared some appetizers, and everything was so fresh and delicious. The oysters were incredibly fresh and briny. The calamari was crispy and perfectly seasoned, not greasy at all. And the crab cakes? Easily some of the best I’ve had. Pair that with the beautiful waterfront views and a chilled glass of white wine, and it made for the perfect afternoon. Service was warm and attentive, and the whole vibe was relaxed and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!”

The food Looks better than it tastes, It’s still pretty good but both meals were a bit bland, but the Calamari was great though. Perfect even, and the sauces were amazing! Coupled with the view made it a good lunch. I give it 8 out of 10

First time having mahi mahi and man I was impressed. Food smacks, I even tried the crab cakes and I ain’t ever eat them before. Them crab cakes we bussin. There au gratin could be cheesier, but it complimented the mahi mahi. My wife had some shrimp and avocado sandwich and she loved it, but I encourage yall to try this spot. Right off the coast, views of the water were stunning. Would definitely go again.

I walk in, 90% of the tables were empty, the host asks my name, eating in or out (it was raining 🤷🏼‍♂️), then my phone number, I said no.🤷🏼‍♂️ I was about to just walk out right then. More employees than customers. Price was way to high for portions and quality. We go to the USS Midway often and decided to give this place a try, I doubt we'll go again. So little fish and shrimp in the curry. Like maybe 4 bites of fish and 6 shrimp the size of a quarter for $24.50. Nope, not worth it. Curry without any spice was kind of odd. Fish, chips (fries), and coleslaw for $26, it was good, but more like $18 value. For over $50 for 2, just 2 meals as we prefer water with lime, is just to much. If there were more fish/shrimp (or bigger shrimp) and more flavor/spice in the curry I could see being back. Maybe 3 pieces of fish with the chips for that price. It is a free market and I'll spend my money where I feel it is worth it. If you respond with saying to email you, I'll drop it to a 1 star. If your response actually addresses my issues as it was prepared wrong or something like that, I may try it again.
