   The food was delicious—perfectly cooked and truly gourmet. The service was swift and attentive, and our waitress was knowledgeable and helpful with our food selection. The restaurant is clearly a popular spot, as it was packed during our visit.

   Shae was our server and made great recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed, and she brought great energy to our experience. We had the Toro sashimi, Chicory Salad, Mussels with lemongrass/ green curry (yum), and a delicious king salmon dish.

   A Culinary Experience to Remember at The Fishery Hands down, this was the best meal I’ve had in years! I’ve been meaning to return to The Fishery for a while, and after last night’s meal, it’s officially on my must-visit list. As a self-proclaimed foodie who dines out about three times a week, I have high standards when it comes to quality ingredients and exceptional flavors—The Fishery did not disappoint. The experience started with the House Salad, which was light, refreshing, and impeccably balanced with a bright, herby vinaigrette—the perfect palate cleanser. Then came the Crab Cake appetizer, and wow. Crisp and golden on the outside, unbelievably tender and moist inside, packed with real, high-quality crab. So many crab cakes are dry, rubbery, or loaded with fillers—not here. The sauce drizzled on top was unique and unexpected, a delightful contrast to the typical remoulade. Even the delicate garnish of shaved fennel leaves showed the kitchen’s attention to detail. For my main dish, I ordered the Alaskan Halibut, and I’m already dreaming about my leftovers. The fish was macadamia nut-crusted, seared to perfection—golden and crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender inside. It rested in a luxurious, herby crème fraîche butter sauce that elevated every bite. It’s rare to find a restaurant that truly values quality ingredients and executes them so flawlessly. From start to finish, every detail was on point. My palate can’t wait for my next dining adventure here—this place is an absolute gem! Tamara Renee

   We had an amazing dinner at The Fishery. Our server, Ian, was lovely and knowledgeable about the menu and just overall so welcoming. The oysters were delicious and we had the clams and scallops! One of the best meals we’ve come across. Will definitely be back when in San Diego again.

   Great service, high quality seafood, impecable cooking and casual but nice atmosphere. The prices are fairly high but reflective of quality and quantity. Do yourself a favor a give them a try. Start with lunch if you want lower prices.

    The fish was on the fishy side and had lots of bones left in the fillet.
