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.

    I ordered the whole fish. It was very dry, no flavor and full of tiny little bones that was not edible. We come here often, but this time it was not up to par.  I order St. James oysters they were tiny and not much inside the shelves. nobody checked on our table and no refills on our drinks. Could’ve been because it was Father’s Day and they were very busy. Of all the times we’ve gone this was the most disappointing on a normal day. I would’ve given them 100% 10 poi ts

    We go here about 3 or 4 times a year. The food is always excellent and the price is resonable. Our waiter was very attentive and the food arrived promptly.

    5 pm Friday dinner for 2. Great time to get personal service and timely food prep. Oyster to start were exceptional. Entree halibut was 1 1/2 inch thick steak, perfectly prepared and served with two sides. Grilled shrimp entree was like eating king prawn size shrimp. Price point was reasonable. Perfect date.

    I really enjoyed the soft-shell crab this time since it is only available at certain times of the year. I ordered it prepared Piccata style with Israeli cous cous and greens. It was delicious. My husband always has the seared tuna which he loves.
