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.

    Amazing fresh seafood which is flown in daily. Miso Chilean Sea Bass and Alaskan Halibut were off the charts! Great service and a fun bustling atmosphere!

    Overall it was an ok experience. Both our fish dishes had zero salt including the sides. However the fish was fresh. The Lobster roll was good. The service was great and the ambiance was great. It was too expensive and not enough flavor in our food.

    We have been searching for a reliable place for delicious shrimp and finally found it. The food, service, and atmosphere was spectacular. We will be returning as this has become our go to seafood spot now.

    Visited King's Fish House when I visited the San Diego area 3 years ago. Saved it in my favorites and dined there again recently. It didn't disappoint!!! The food and service was amazing. Will keep it on my favorite list and recommend to others who are looking for great seafood dining options in the San Diego area.
