About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean combined with world-class dining on historic Cannery Row, just a short walk from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The newly renovated Fish Hopper, housed in an original sardine cannery building, offers spectacular views of the stunning Monterey Bay from every table, including our heated outdoor patio. The Fish Hopper specializes in fresh, sustainable seafood, certified Angus beef, pastas, and live shellfish. Our seafood is either locally caught or shipped in fresh daily, and our produce is locally grown in the Salinas Valley. Some favorites include fresh Monterey Bay abalone, macadamia-crusted halibut, our famous “Tomahawk Chop” bone-in rib eye, and fresh Dungeness crab. Start your meal with our award-winning clam chowder, and indulge in one of our many exotic cocktail creations or a selection from our extensive wine collection. While enjoying your delicious meal, you can watch sea otters at play and even catch a glimpse of the occasional whale.

    Visiting our military Grandson and took him for our last night together dinner here. Service was exceptional, views were beautiful and out food exceptional. The sardine appetizer was a must since we were eating on Cannery Row. Our dishes were fish and chips, clam chowder bowl (wow!) and a wonder stuffed sole dish. You must go!

    Great service, lovely view (location is superb), the food was great too. The only reason Iwe don't give it 5* all around is that we found the choice rather limited. But please do not hget this wrong - the quality of the food and the service were great!

    This place was horrible. They want it to be “fine dining” experience. They even have a rude sign in-front saying your kids can’t be load. Even though the whole place is load. Honestly the food is no different than bubba gumps. All looked recently defrosted. My husband took 1 bit of his pasta and the server and nobody even asked us if it was ok. How we liked our food nothing. They asked if we were finished and wanted a box. But never why we didn’t touch a whole bowl of pasta. We won’t be coming back.

    Overly priced for the portions you get. All three of us were still hungry after our entrees. A small bowl of clam chowder was $23!?!?
