The Fish Market - San Diego

Had an absolutely wonderful lunch here. Got the outdoor seating right next to the water, watched the boats tool around the bay. Food was fantastic! Fresh, well prepared sea food, perfect amount of seasoning. Our server was happy and very prompt with drinks and all our meal items. Would absolutely try again!

We had a great dinner on a Sunday night. It was spacious and looked like a classic diner. The bartender was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu was diverse. The food was amazing. It took a little while, but the flavor in the seafood plater was amazing 👏. We had a good time in San Diego. We will be back soon.

The swordfish was amazing! Noemmy was our waitress and she was amazing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Fish Market in San Diego is a fantastic spot for seafood lovers! One of the best parts about dining here is the option to sit right on the water, offering beautiful views of the bay and a relaxing atmosphere. The fresh seafood is top-notch—I highly recommend the clam chowder and the grilled fish. The menu is varied with plenty of choices, from oysters to crab, and everything is prepared with care. The service is friendly and efficient, and the outdoor seating makes it a perfect place to enjoy a meal while watching the boats go by. Whether you’re visiting or a local, The Fish Market is a must-visit for great seafood and unbeatable views!

I went to San Diego on a business trip and wanted to try out the Fish Market as I heard good things about it and I will say I was not disappointed! My husband and I enjoyed the beach view, food was good, and our server was super friendly. We ended up getting the Fried Calamari (We LOVED IT) and Octopus for appetizers- both very delicious!! For drinks we got the Strawberry Bliss & Lavender Lemonade Mocktails. We enjoyed both as they were fresh and went well with the food. As of entrees we got the Grilled Salmon with Pink Peppercorn Sauce & Fish and Shrimp Yellow Curry. The salmon was so good! Definitely enjoyed it and the curry was good but I personally don’t prefer curry as much. Just wanted to give it a try and it was still good. Overall definitely would recommend!

Awesome service, food and atmosphere! From the hostess to our server, we were treated with kindness and exceptional professionalism the entire visit. The kitchen staff did an excellent job. We had the king crab legs, tuna melt, Rockefeller oysters and the kids had the linguine; everything was excellent! The Rockefeller oysters ruined me forever; these are a must try! Samantha was our server…she went out of her way to make our visit memorable, and just an overall enjoyable experience. I really appreciated that. Thank you Samantha and everyone at the Fish Market for making our last dinner in San Diego an awesome one! Next time we’re in town, we’ll definitely see you all again!

If you're visiting San Diego, The Fish Market is an absolute must! Located right by the sea, it's the perfect spot for tourists looking to enjoy a scenic dining experience 🌊. However, if you're after something more local and off-the-beaten-path, this might not be the place for you. To fully enjoy your visit, I highly recommend making a reservation to secure a table with a sea view. The ambiance is worth it, though it’s not a cheap spot, it’s definitely worth the splurge 💸. We started our meal with the crab cakes, which were perfect for sharing and truly the star of the menu 🌟. Next, we tried the New England clam chowder. It was nice—not the best I've had, but still quite enjoyable. The crispy fish tacos, however, were spectacular, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked 🌮. The shrimp salad sandwich was okay, but we felt we should have chosen something else; the bread wasn’t particularly special. For parties of four or more, I highly recommend trying the fish n' chips and crab. These dishes are great for sharing and will leave everyone satisfied 🦀🍟. Valet parking is available and recommended to make your visit hassle-free 🚗. Overall, The Fish Market offers a fantastic dining experience, especially for tourists wanting to soak in the beautiful San Diego views. With its delectable seafood and stunning location, it’s a place you’ll want to visit at least once during your stay 🌅🍽️.

Fantastic food, great location, incredible views of Navel ships while you eat, excellent service (Looking at you Scott). We truly enjoyed our meal, especially after a full day of walking and being a tourist. Highly recommend stopping here after touri g the USS Midway and see the VJ Kiss in Time Square Statue, along with a Statue memorial to Bob Hope..an epic meal to end an epic day.

This was a good meal however some food was great some not as much. I enjoyed Jacqueline my server as she was professional and while busy she checked often and made sure I enjoyed my meal. The ceviche was very good and I enjoyed my tuna hand roll. I should have stopped however I ordered the red curry mussels and sadly two were very gritty and sandy. Ugh not a favorite. The views are stellar and it’s very clean. Heaters outside help when there is a breeze. Great area to walk around after dinner. The market has great fresh items to take home and cook! I would come here again and try dinner

Haven't had some good seafood in a long time and glad my cousin chose to place to celebrate my aunt's birthday. It got busy towards the end of the night and service was still great and quick. My boys enjoyed their calamari, chicken strips with fries and i most specially enjoyed the famous crab cioppino. Gosh it was filled with all sorts of seafood.... Tasted very fresh and the sauce was so delicious and flavorful. I also got a taste of the swordfish which was very tender and perfect with the white dip it came with. Creme brûlée for desserts and it was a perfectly made custard coz I finished it. This place is very spacious and I love their cute little fish market at the front of their fresh catch.

The Fish Market is a solid spot we've visited multiple times with family. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, with a great selection of seafood to choose from. One thing to keep in mind is that it's a bit touristy and can get busy, so there might be a wait, especially during peak hours. Parking can be tough, but thankfully they offer valet service, which is a lifesaver in this busy area. All of their waiters are very friendly, so I enjoyed the service. Some of their dishes are great while others can be hit or miss. We've tried some of the different grilled fish and sometimes it's cooked perfectly but other times it is dry or feels like it has been sitting at the pass for a bit. We really enjoy the fish and chips, raw oysters, and octopus. The view is a nice bonus, especially if you can get a table by the water--it really adds to the experience. Overall, The Fish Market is a reliable choice for fresh seafood, though expect it to be busy, especially given its popularity with tourists.

One of the many places that has the overlook of the harbor and the bay one of the many places that has historical areas that is the Fish Market located over near the Aircraft Carrier. The Harbor Drive stretch is one that is located over near the entrance of Seaport Village the walk that takes you past the fish processing building . Harbor drive is one of the many that you walk along the sidewalk and sit and enjoy the many ships that come and go from the harbor to enjoy the evening and the Ambiance going to do ner and afterwards. The Fish Market is the one restaurant where you see the many signs in the parking lot reserved for commercial fisherman for the food you can smell when you come in the front door. Fish Market has the East Coast feel to it of the red color to the wood roof the upstairs deck they use from time to time. The food at the restaurant is one that has many tastes from the shark to swordfish and the familiar area of fish and chips. Going to the fish market for dinner the restaurant seemed more casual then more of the stylish the servers were dressed In uniforms for the food was very good. For the service was of first come first serve in seating to see yesterday there was no one at the front going to the happy hour host not to be seen . The evenings they have are more of the front staff and to help those coming for the dinner hours for the reservations they have trouble seating with commercial and those that call in. For the food and drinks menu are very good for most of the dishes they range from the $15.00 mark to the $24.00 for many that come for lunch prices are lower. For the many historical statues and monuments make the Harbor drive park one of the greatest places with remodel coming you may see new things coming . As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the many areas of the Embarcadero and the Harbor Drive area you will be seeing many new changes and new construction. For the pier area is one of the many historical areas of San Diego Calif.

The Fish Market is located on the harbor. There are patio tables and lots of indoor tables. We made a reservation for 4:30 p.m. so we could watch the sun set over the water. It was a beautiful sight. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and checked on us periodically but wasn't pushy. Food was amazing!! We ordered a tuna poki appetizer. I ordered the scallops, with veggies and rice pilaf. My S.O. ordered the grilled lobster with green beans and scalloped potatoes. Last we ordered the pumpkin cheesecake. All of the food was fresh and delicious! I would definitely return!

Every year we eat here and it is always a wonderful experience. We choose to sit outside to enjoy the weather and the views, so sometimes there is more of a wait for a table even if you have a reservation. My husband and I always like to take our time enjoying our meal, and our servers never rush us. We start with tuna sashimi, then move on to a cup of chowder before our entrees. His Swordfish was perfectly cooked and my crab legs were succulent! He loves to finish off with the snickerdoodle dessert and I, the mousse. Another year gone, until next!!!

The crispy baby octopus was delicious! Fish and chips were good too, but the appetizer def stole the show. Service was friendly and the weather was amazing for outside seating on the back deck.

We got away for the weekend and decided to eat dinner here over looking part of the bay! We both had Clam Chowder and I ordered the crusted Calamari! My wife had the Clams! For dessert we shared a crème brûlée! Our server was great and she continued to check up on us to make sure all is good! You can't beat the view which is amazing!!

We were just walking around by Harbor Dr and decided to stop by for happy hour only. Drinks were fine and had the $2 oysters which was a good deal. Staff was nice but there was beef between them during shift change and it was noticeable.... other than the drama make sure to get a reservation if you wan a nice seat other than the bar area

Dined outside on a Friday evening and loved the fresh seafood and cozy water view. I started off with a lavender lemonade which was tasty, fresh, and even incouded lavender garnish! My colleague and I shared the caesar salad and salt and pepper calamari - FYI the pepper means bell pepper, not black pepper. The calamari was delicious especially paired with the different sauces. We were quite hungry and already started to feel full after appetizers. For my entree, I went with the cioppino. My colleague had the sea bass paired with au gratin potatoes and green beans. Everything was delicious. Great service - friendly and attentive, from the host to the servers. Would love to come back and try more dishes - it was so hard to choose!

Ahoy mateys! So, me and me crew decided to drop anchor at The Fish Market, all hyped up 'cause we heard they had some righteous Seabass on the menu. As Captain 619, I was stoked to try it out. But shiver me timbers, when we asked our waiter about the Seabass, he straight-up told us it wasn't up to snuff and a lot of folks had been complaining about it. Bummer, dude. I ended up settling for the swordfish steak, and let me tell ya, it was a total washout - dry as the desert. And me two lovely ladies went for the Cod, but there was no thrill there either. Sadly, this joint just didn't measure up to the swell reviews. The Fish Market left me feeling like I should've sailed on to another spot. Arrr, better luck next time, me hearties.

The view is amazing but the food was okay. Ordered the swordfish tacos and although it was seasoned well it was okay.

Wonderful serving sizes and a nice atmosphere and setting. Love being by the harbor and seeing the big ships. Service was attentive and good enough for our visit.

The wait staff was great, we were seated quickly at a table with a great view of the water, unfortunately the patio was full. My party have a 1/2 dozen oysters, crab spinach and artichoke dip, crab cakes and a Cesar salad. I wouldn't order the raw oysters again, but the crab spinach and artichoke dip was really good. We have a few different cocktails, none of them memorable but they all served their purpose.

I discovered a gift card that I had. So my friend + decided to use it. We sat outside on the deck.Even locals love looking at the water + North Island. Plus it was cute when one of the smaller excursion boat went by. And a passenger barked like a Seal. Both of us went with the Fish + Chips, only difference I went with a split order one piece of Cod + 3 Prawns. She ordered the full Prawn order. I would recommend the Fish + Chips either way it was a good meal. I wasn't crazy about the Tarter sauce or my Mai Tais. And I apologize for my photos. The view is outstanding and so was the service.

Wow!! What a place. We decided to catch their happy hour (shortly after we already had lunch, whoops!) I'm so happy we did because I loved it! Friendly staff and we were sat quickly. I loved the Bloody Mary, oysters and the view!! Wow I gave 4 stars because the flag pole outside had a Black Lives Matter and Pride flag. However you lean politically, BLM has proved to be a money laundering organization. It's inappropriate in my opinion.

Wonderful for lunch, not as crowded as it is for dinner. BTW the crowds are there because this is an excellent place to dine. Food, service, view, all are outstanding. I have loved this place for many years and my new lady friend shares my feelings. Great place.

Pricey place but we really enjoyed our time here. Parking: $15 valet for 3 hours was nice and easy Reservation: made reso for outdoor seating on OpenTable just two days before our reservation date. Also very simple Service: server was very friendly and attentive Food: we liked everything we got! Cioppino was massive. Clam linguine was nicely seasoned and the pasta was not overcooked. Fish plate was not dry and was very tasty. View: amazing

We were in the area for a wedding and stopped here on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch. First - what a gorgeous location! There's so much to see around this area make sure you save some time for it. It wasn't too busy when we got there but we had to wait 5-10 minutes to get seated. It was worth the wait though. The food was delicious, fresh and so uniquely prepared. We ordered a variety of seafood dishes and were not disappointed in anything. The starter sourdough bread was amazing, and the cocktails were delightful.

First time at The Fish Market. Parking was simple. There were several places opening up along Harbor Boulevard as we drove along. We arrived at 8:40 on a Saturday night and it was a 10 min wait. Our server greeted us in about 10 mins. My wife got a clam and mussel combo and a Chardonnay whilst I got the fish and chips plus an iced tea. We also added a prawn cocktail for an app. In total it came to $106.13. Our dinners actually took so long to arrive that our waiter brought us some sourdough and butter after about 15 mins. The bread was fantastic but that was pretty much the end of the good part of the experience. About 10 mins after the bread arrived, our app and dinners arrived. The prawn cocktail was served in a stemmed dish on a plate. The moment we moved it, the whole thing tipped over, landing on my wife and the floor. We flagged down our server for help and he returned with gloves and a dish towel to wipe up the edge of the table, and then said: "I'll bring you another one", leaving the prawns on the floor for the evening. Our next prawn cocktail arrived about 20 mins later but we just ate it from a distance, without moving it. The entrees were no improvement in the experience. My fish was thickly battered, very under seasoned and fell apart each time I dipped into the tartar sauce. The sauce itself was very off tasting as well. I would not order it again. My wife's bowl of clams and mussels were good but nothing spectacular. Overall, we were disappointed with the service and the food. To top off the disappointment, our server charged us for both of the prawn cocktails, which were $19.95 each. If he had said: "Would you like to order another?" or something similar, it would've made more sense. I wish we had chosen a different restaurant.

Our large party was seated on the patio over the water, which was perfect. We all enjoyed ourselves and had fantastic food. Did I mention the sourdough bread?? Devine. The clam chowder was amazing. The salmon with pink peppercorn sauce, potatoes and green beans, was delicious. Our waitress was fantastic and took care of our every need.

Amazing views of ocean and great patio seats right on the water. Fish so fresh and delicious

The view from the outdoor table was delightful as was the staff. The menu provided ample options but was clearly designed to capture maximum revenue. The chef wasted little time and effort in creating and preparing our entrees which were mediocre at best. After spending $70 (tax & tip included) for lunch to dine on a rare tuna sandwich and a 4 oz piece of grilled sea bass, which included subpar sides of zucchini and au gratin potatoes, we left disappointed. My wife succinctly concluded: "we won't be back here again."

Beautiful view! Delicious food! Nice servers! Thanks to this place for the amazing experience!

I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday and was very impressed. We were seated right away outside on the water. The service was great and the food was amazing. We ordered the combo oysters, fish and chips, and the prawn linguine. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. I highly recommend and would eat here again. The view was stunning and it was so cool to watch the boats and jets go by.

Had the fish and chips and there were Devine. Stephanie was a superb waitress absolutely lovely and attentive she is a keeper.

The view was nice, plenty of room. The food was very good. Service was good. The fish and chips didn't cost too much but they also didn't give you enough. They were very accommodating because they fried the fish with regular batter not beer batter (husband requested, so thank you!) The Rainbow trout was excellent.

Great service, delicious food! Love being able to just sit near the ocean enjoying the views and food!

While in San Diego for a friend's graduation we are here. We had water view which was really nice an calming. Food was fresh and service was excellent. I ordered one of their Mocktails and their sea bass entree.

The bay view with outdoor seating was the primary reason we dined here. We enjoyed looking at the setting sun over the water. My fish and shrimp curry was okay but convinced me that I am not a fan of curry. Service was decent. My son loved his clam chowder and my wife loved her halibut. If I dine here again, I will order something different.

I debated between 3 and 4 stars but ultimately decided on 3. My husband and I were visiting San Diego celebrating our 20th anniversary and happened to see this place when visiting the USS Midway. First of all the service was amazing. I wish I would have got our severs name. She was awesome! Sometimes when you order an appetizer the timing is off and it comes to close to food but this was not the case. Our drinks came out first which was perfect, then our appetizer (we for the artichoke crab dip), and then perfectly timed by our food. The crab and artichoke dip was really good...like delicious! With that said, we were both up all night not well and this was one of the only things we shared all day... not saying anything for sure but ‍. My husband got the New York and added prawns. The steak was really good, the prawns were so salty they almost made you pucker when eating them. I ordered the crispy fish tacos. I wanted to love them so much. They were so crispy, but had no flavor. The pinto beans that came with it were FANTASTIC, this coming from someone who doesn't like pinto beans. I will be googling a copycat recipe for sure lol. We finished the evening with the creme brûlée and it was absolutely perfect.

I would like to start by saying it is such a beautiful day here today in San Diego. It is about 75° for the nice breeze blowing and the best time to go down near the water. So I decided to do just that I figured I wanted to have some seafood, but I needed to go ahead and get a workout in before so as usual called my buddy Tim and asked him if he would like to join me for the midway tour and to go to the fish market for lunch.. there was no hesitation and yes and I said OK. Set it up Saturday. Be here at 9:30. We'll head out to the Embarcadero. The midway was awesome, but that's another review. Highly recommended for those of you have not been. We arrived right at the perfect time because the fish market opens at 11 to our surprise. It was already pretty busy in the parking lot was full but after driving around a couple times, we found a great spot and headed in be seated. It is a beautiful ambience and experience once you walked through the doors and you see all the glass windows in the water all around you immediately when you walk in you notice the seafood case where they have the most beautiful looking fish that you could possibly ever wanna cook. We were seated immediately with no hesitation with at least two or three smiling faces to greet us at the hostess station.. we definitely needed some water so we got a couple of waters with lemon and asked for a couple minutes to go ahead and look over the menu. I had already decided what I wanted, and that was the Caesar salad and I was going to get the crab Cioppino, decided that the cioppino looked great as well and that he would go ahead and order that but instead of the salad, he decided on a bloody Mary. Service was so unbelievably pleasant and our waitresses name or server was Dolce, she was responsive, very communicative, funny, and right on point. Her opinion was that it was a great choice and then we would not be disappointed. The bread came to follow, which was warm, soft crusty on the outside and the ball of butter just melted over it to tantalize your taste buds just by looking at it. It was so good in fact that I suggested that we get another round of bread prior to the milk arriving. It wasn't long after I said that that all the sudden my Caesar salad came that was beautiful on the plate and as tasteful as anyone that I have ever had, it was crisp. It was fresh. It was cold croutons for very tasty. Romain lettuce was cut perfectly. The dressing was insane and the cheese was perfect. As I ate the salad and my friend and I chatted the next thing that arrived to my surprise was two beautiful dishes, served on these plates with cloth napkins with These oven ready dishes that with one look made my mouth water. It was beautiful as it was to smell as it was to look at. I was really surprised because my friend had never had it and he was like I can't believe that he goes you ordered that right thing. I said, I think that you're going to really enjoy this. You could see the clams, muscles, crab, octopus, and a beautifully done to perfection linguine lay on the bottom. In all of its glory, all of that was put in a beautiful marinara sauce that the aroma just filled the whole table and everything around us. I honestly had to wipe my mouth because it was watering so much. I told her server I said this looks beautiful and I can tell already just by the smell it is going to be heavenly. The conversation by this time stopped because we both could not wait to dig in to taste this amazing looking dish and as amazing as it looked, it was most amazing in flavor And a velvety texture. The first taste had to be with a spoon because you wanted to capture the first seafood item and the marinara sauce at the same time with a piece of crusty bread comes with it in your hand so that you can have that to follow as soon as you have, had your first bite. It was a heavenly dish was so well appreciated that my friend could not believe it and kept thanking me over and over for bringing him there. I asked him about his drink and he said it was wonderful, and I was surprised with the jumbo that came along with it, which looked fabulous as well, and he said it tasted just as it looked. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who loves seafood who also loves the water and be able to sit inside or outside and enjoy the beautiful seafood that this restaurant has to offer. We decided that we cannot wait to come back and enjoy another dish that they have on their menu and enjoy the ambience quality of staff, excellence and quality of food.

On October 18th my elderly Mother dined at The Fish Market . She, along with her 2 elderly friends had lunch together. They paid separately. My Mom's bill was $70.58. She left a $10 tip and put it on her card. When she received her credit card bill, she was surprised to discover that the tip amount was changed from $10 to $30. Giving the staff a 43% tip. She is on a fixed income so she keeps detailed records. I don't like places that take advantage of the elderly and I hope that this is not a pattern of scaming seniors.

This was a fantastic meal! Our server Ellis did a great job taking care of us! We got a table by the window and Ellis was quick to take our drink order. We started with a leche de tigre ceviche. It was amazing!!! So fresh and crisp! It would be a great meal all by itself. I had the garlic prawn linguine for dinner, it came out quick, but we had plenty of time to soak in the amazing views. The prawns were delicious and cooked to perfection! I wish I would have had room to try dessert! Great location, fantastic service, great food!

The Fish Market is one of the few restaurants within walking distance of the USS Midway museum. It's a huge restaurant and includes an actual seafood counter at the front for all you home cooks. Lunch service was friendly but the food overall was just AOK. My grilled California Halibut was super dry, and unfortunately only the rice and Asian Green Beans stood out in terms of flavor. My son's Chicken Teriyaki had zero sweetness and was very salty, almost like pure oyster sauce. Plus, the chicken was dry. Wife's prawns linguine looked OK, but was definitely on the rich side. Good thing about the restaurant is the view outside - you can see the USS Midway from a new angle along with other boats passing along. There's also the famous statue of a sailor kissing his beau, and the Bob Hope honorary statue garden.

I definitely wanna review this place on a night where it is less busy. My family and I went there during Fourth of July and it was extremely busy and the service was a little bit slow. They apologized immensely because of the slow service and we just dealt with it. The meal itself was really good and we had an opportunity to watch the fireworks.

We were seated at the best corner booth overlooking the bay with a view of Coronado north island just after sunset. Beautiful view. Everyone who worked there was lovely and accommodating as a group of six showed up without a reservation, hungry and thirsty! The wine selection was limited just ok. Full cocktail bar. The seafood was fresh, cooked and seasoned to perfection. We appreciated they had options for the non seafood eaters in our party!

The Fish Market restaurant sits on San Diego harbor, near the USS Midway aircraft carrier. We were fortunate enough to be able to sit in the glass closed deck, which has a front row seat to the activities on the harbor (sailboats, yachts & Navy boats racing back & forth). The Fish Market restaurant offers fresh caught fish for your dinning. I indulged into a perfectly cooked Swordfish steak. This was the best Swordfish steak that I ever had, tasty & moist. The hit of the meal was the blistered asian green beans which had a slight hint of chili sauce, muy deliciouso! The finishing touch came from the Key Lime Pie, which actually had lime flavor. Excellente! Great meal and a nice rest bit from the heat of the USS Midway flight deck.

Can't beat the venue so gorgeous with the setting of the ocean and the aircraft carrier in the background. However, the food quality here has really slipped. The oysters Rockefeller was great . Duckets bucket used to be an ample amount of shellfish and their substitution. I would say what they used to provide. . The sourdough bread remains great . Good section of beer on tap and wine. My fish, which was halibut , was overcooked, which considering the restaurant is a fish market speaks to that some retraining on cooking time needs to be reassessed. Scallop potatoes used to be a star here but now taste like their premade with Velveeta or less quality cheese... We also ordered the cioppino my husband liked it. I thought that crab was mushy and tasteless. Seasoning was Pretty good. Pasta not al dente. Service was fairly attentive, but my husband did not have a work and it took some time to rectify ... Attention to some details I think that the experience can be improved .

The food is mediocre. The best thing we had was the warm sourdough bread service and the veggie sides, though the sides were inconsistent. Mine were.charred, while my companion's were outright burnt. Portion sizes are small for the cost, and taste is a bit bland, with the exception of said veggie sides. Come for the view though! That is the main draw of this place, imho. Just don't expect too much from the food

The food was impeccable. As an appetizer the Salt & Pepper Calamari was so tasty. As a main entree, the Dungeness Crab Ciopinno had a tremendous taste and flavor, unbelievable. Our waitress recommended dessert. We had a Snickerdoodle with Vanilla Ice Cream & Carmel/Chocolate drizzled on top. To die for, yum. Service was at another level. Our waitress, WENDY, was so special. Very sincere & honest. She has a gift to communicate with her patrons. She made our 40th wedding anniversary very memorable. As far as ambiance, we could not have asked for any much more. Sun setting, on the waterfront, sailboats and powerboats cutting through the water. Just great. What an evening !!!

I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant with beautiful views of the water on a Saturday evening with 12 other ladies. We were seated at an outdoor corner table with heated lamps for the chilly evening and serviced by Michelle. Michelle did a fantastic job taking care of us. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the crab and shrimp artichoke dip with pita chips to start and the fish and shrimp yellow curry entree. I washed it down with hot green tea. The portion sizes were perfect and enough to share with others. When I return to San Diego, I will return to The Fish Market to try other dishes on the menu. Parking is available for a fee except on holidays. Since we dined here on Veterans Day, parking was FREE.

When you crave seafood- and you get to be surprised with coming to a great seafood spot ! The place was delicious. The seafood was delicious and fresh. The service was ok - I feel like that might need a bit of work. Outside seating for full experience is a must ! The weather was warm and cool breeze -there is heaters outside so its perfect. Getting a variety of seafood is best to get a taste different seafoods. I love the freshness of the seafood- that is what gives this well deserved stars!

Great location near the marina and the famous statue of a sailor kissing his girl upon the return from war. We came for dinner as a group and the service started off excellent by the host and waiter but dropped off as the evening went on. Not sure if it was because he got busy or he became disinterested since the gratuity would automatically be added due to the size of our group. The atmosphere is notable since it's on the water but the main floor is pretty standard with wood tables - nothing special. Our food, however was delicious and I suppose that the most important thing. I had the swordfish Cajun style and it was to die for. Moist and juicy with just the right amount of Cajun spices. Others had the scallops, tuna, and other types of seafood and no one had complaints about the food or the sides that come with the meal. We also ordered calamari appetizers and this were also tasty. The more upscale version of the restaurant upstairs has a better atmosphere but given we had been out all day we didn't want to go change before dinner so chose the main floor. Definitely worth visiting for the food and I recommend the swordfish.

We were seated quickly at a high top table right next to the bar.Not very comfortable but not the end of the world. People standing at the bar about 3 inches from us were very loud and that wasn't pleasant. Server was nice and attentive. Cocktails were perfect. The star was the choppino. It was outstanding. Crab legs, clams, mussels and shrimp in a flavorful tomato based broth. I was worried I wouldn't like the noodles in it but I loved them. Am amazing meal.

Mandy was an amazing server 10/10 Mandy provided my friend and I the best service. She recommended the halibut as it was fresh and caught some hours ago. Mannn, that was a great call. The view was stunning and the sunset brought me to literal tears (maybe that was the 4 White Linen martinis I had). Either way, an amazing time and the fresh seafood was hot and scrumptious!! The halibut melted in my mouth. The crab legs were perfect too. First time for everything and everything was great. Thank you Mandy!!

Incredible seafood for reasonable prices. I'm not sure why the ratings are lower for this place on Yelp. I would highly recommend reservations, however my husband and I walked up at 6:30p on a Friday and only had a 20min wait. We shared the New England clam chowder and garlic cheese bread with crab- both were incredible and very heavy on the seafood. My husband had the garlic prawn linguini (super garlicky and delicious) and I had the Dungeness crab ciopoino- again very heavy on the seafood and so delicious! It was also a massive portion- two people could share it. This place is a don't miss- you can come casual or dress nicer. The service is great and the food is so fresh and just WOW. It was a memorable meal for our last night in San Diego.

Ok spot for some good seafood. I am not a huge fan of the fish market; I am not sure what it is exactly. For this review, I want to give a 3.5 and have the option to go 3 or 4 and went 3. Something is missing about this place. The food is ok, the menu is ok, the place is nice, location is cool service is ok. It just feels more like a red lobster than a Lionfish. This is for a visit on a Saturday around noon. No reservations so we were lucky to get right in. Parking isn't possible but seems like valet is the way to go. I was walking around seaport village, so it wasn't an issue. The interior of this location is very nice and huge. And it is right on the water, so the views are nice. Customer service was ok. Long waits between seeing our server. She got the order right and the food came out fairly quickly. But after that it was one check on us then 30 minutes? Then we needed the bill and to-go boxes that took another 20 minutes? Seemed a little long and also not super friendly. Just there to get us food and go to her next table. By all means I don't mean that she was rude. She just was all business. We ordered the fish and chips, grilled artichoke and fish tacos. I tried something besides my usual seafood cioppino. The menu didn't seem to have a lot of options, it is a decently sized menu, but nothing really stood out. Typically, I am torn between 2 or 3 items, this time I couldn't find something I wanted except the artichoke. Fish and chips - The fish was cooked/fried perfectly. Nice crispy, light breading on a light flavorful fish. It was a legit fish and chips. Grilled artichoke - The artichoke was cooked well. The aioli was ok. Not bad. Fish tacos - The fish was very fried, in a good way. The fish was ok. The toppings we not helpful in making it taste well. The coleslaw lacked any flavor, the salsa tasted like tomatoes, the cheese and sour cream? Was missing flavor. I would not order these again. So overall the food was good but not great. I probably will not go back, until I forget this experience, in a few years, and go try it again.

Amazing place love everything about it. Always the place of choice when in San Diego. Good food, good service, good service.

Returned for a special dinner and they did not disappoint. It was a wonderful meal, the food delicious and service spot on. Thanks to management for constantly improving their menu.
