About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Healthy
Established in 2000, King’s Fish House is San Diego’s choice for seafood. Located in Mission Valley on Camino De La Reina, 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.

    For me, this is a great neighborhood restaurant. I frequently come here for lunch on Saturdays with friends after our morning workout. It is on the expensive side, but they have wonderful outside seating. The food is very good. The service is good and friendly.

    Food as always was delicious. However, I ordered the scallops and they were very small, and not much to eat for $35. In the past, they were much larger.

    Hostess was very unfriendly and seemed put out. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Fresh fish indeed, but for the money, they could have served the meal hot. It was barely luke warm for all at the table. Can’t help wondering how long it was all sitting in the kitchen (and they were not busy). Disappointing! Ate at the one by the Carlsbad outlet mall a few months ago, and service and food were excellent. I will not be going back! I have an upcoming reservation that will be cancelled.

    First, our sever, Kennith, was excellent. Experienced service professional who paid attention to detail and was providing value add as a service. Not just taking an order and bringing us a meal. This was our first trip to this chain. The seafood we ordered was cooked perfectly and flavorful. We felt the prices were fair enough. Clean and pleasant casual atmosphere. Both wild caught and farm raised options. Key lime pie was authentic!

    My husband and I ordered a dozen oysters to start. The oysters were small and tasteless with a big price. Then we ordered a cup each of New England clam chowder which was soupy and no clams. Recommend not ordering this as you can actually eat it through a straw. Then we shared a Louie salad at. The salad was full of iceberg lettuce, chopped cucumbers and carrots, very little dressing and shrimp. Granted my husband and I shared the salad but one would expect it to be tasty, which it wasn’t. You get a better and more quality salad at the Brigantine which includes romaine lettuce and lots of seafood and vegetables, which my husband and I always share. We’ve decided that the food quality is just not there and have decided not to return. You would think that a fish restaurant would serve the best fish and fresh meals in town, not this one.

    The food is AHMAZING!!! This is our second time dining here and the food does not disappoint. The seafood is fresh and very delicious. The crab cakes are the best ever and the blackened catfish has a Cajun twist to it. Be sure to ge the key lime pie to seal off your dining sensation. The server was very good and polite. Looking forward to our next visit.

    We ate outside and it was quiet enough for conversation. Food and service were great.

    Overall the fish we ordered was good. As well as a few of the sides. I don't recommend ordering the garlic mashed potatoes due to the glue like mess that it was.
