About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Good for groups

Established in 2003, King’s Fish House is Carlsbad’s choice for seafood. Located just across from the Carlsbad Premium outlets and LEGOLAND, King’s Fish House features a large selection of fresh oysters, seasonal catches, sushi and live shellfish, including lobster and crab, on a menu that changes daily.

We’ve been in restaurants a little while – three generations, to be precise. A long time ago, we embarked on a road trip in search of the ultimate seafood experience. We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.

Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.

Come gather with us, celebrate, relax and enjoy a seafood dining experience of high quality, comfort, service and value.

Quality, flavor and quantity not the same as our visit a year ago. Everything was just okay. Nothing standout worth the price tag. Would opt for another restaurant in the area next time we’re craving seafood nearby

this is usually one of our favorite spots but it was a Sat night. Had reservations, thankfully, but very crowded and extremely noisy. had to wait a bit for food after ordering. I get the same thing every single time.. this time there was less than 1/2 of the garlic mashed potatoes. I think maybe they ran out? maybe 2 tablespoons is all. other than that, it was fine. service was great, trout was great. passion fruit ice tea was great.

We ordered two sushi rolls. The sticky rice was mushy. The fish on the other one wasn’t fresh.
