    Swordfish Wrap COASTAL
    Jillian C.

    The Fish District is my favorite place to go when I want swordfish; it's so good! I also trued their battered fish and fries - the fish wasn't greasy and the fries were perfectly seasoned! I also love their sauces - my favorites were the Caper and Tarter sauces. They even make them fresh in-house. This place is super cute if you want to eat inside the restaurant or even outside on their patio.

    I stopped by on a random Thursday and was seriously impressed. The place wasn't too busy, but everything was spotless. My order came out in about five minutes, neatly packed and ready to go. The battered fish was the real standout--crispy on the outside, perfectly fried, and tender, flaky cod on the inside. Exactly what you hope for when you're craving fish and chips. Absolutely delicious. Great service and I liked the clean ambiance.

    Fish District is conveniently located in the heart of Carmel Mountain in the same plaza surrounded by In N Out, Costco, and Home Depot. Parking is plentiful and easy. I was excited to try their catch of the day plate. Plates come with a seafood option and two sides. I ordered the salmon catch of the day along with rice and asparagus. The presentation was on point. Salmon was juicy, and flavorful with nice char flavor from the grill without being overwhelming. The asparagus was executed beautifully, well seasoned and not overcooked. For $17.50 the portion size was a touch small for the price but it did satisfy my craving. Drinks and condiments are self-serve and they bring the food out to you. I would definitely come back for their catch of the day plate.

    I enjoyed the combo box ($17.50) which came with one piece of deep fried cod, three deep fried shrimp, fries, and three different sauces on the side (caper sauce, house-made sriracha, and cocktail sauce). Everything was crispy and delicious. I would have liked one more piece of cod, and would have given up two shrimps for that! The catch of the day plate is a great deal ($18.50). It's served with two sides and grilled ciabatta bread. We chose the salmon with rice and asparagus. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was quite juicy. One of my friends got the blackened ahi bowl ($15) which comes with blackened seared ahi tuna, rice, lettuce-cabbage mix, and tomato. It was pretty tasty but a smaller portion. Another friend got the poké bowl ($15.50) with salmon, nori, seaweed salad, cucumber, ginger, and sesame seeds. She liked it, but also felt it was a small portion. In terms of ordering, you can order at the counter or order through your phone. My friends ordered through their phone, while we ordered at the counter. They actually got their food first. I like how there is a lot of parking, and that it's easy to get a table inside. This restaurant is a good option when you are craving seafood, and you want to be seated right away.

    You can tell everything was made to order. Poke bowl was a little too saucy, but still good. Portobello fries, fish and chips with a generous portion of the caper sauce were perfectly fried. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you later in the evening there is no battle for parking and Costco is nearby if you want to gamet gas afterwards

    POKE & CHIPS, PORTOBELLO "FRIES", COMBO BOX CATCH OF THE DAY PLATE. Loved everything- portobello fries is a must every time

    Got the clam chowder and it's not too bad. Great in a punch but missing a little something. Overall the chowder did have tons clams so I can't complain there! The service was quick and friendly. And appreciated that there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It definitely has the quick bite ambiance.

    Some of the freshest seafood you can find in Carmel Mountain. Always super friendly staff working, and they have TVs inside as well as a great outdoor seating area, which has umbrellas

    Poke tacos
    Christi S.

    A bit inconsistent, been here a dozen times and sometimes whatever I get is good, and sometimes it isn't. However, I do quite enjoy the poke tacos. The shells are light and crisp, they go well with the poke. The fish and chips are a banger as well. Sometimes the fish are not so fresh, but then again, it's a hit or a miss. Poke bowls are okay here, however poke tacos are much more satisfying in my opinion. It comes with two choices of sauce that you can drizzle over the fish, which are complete bangers. I've gotten the plates before and I do not think they are good, they're a bit too bland and under seasoned. If it's your first time, fish and chips def wouldn't disappoint.

    Bruh, Fish District was pretty good. That calamari was not overcooked, a little salty but after squeezing them lemons it became zesty for sure. Now those fish sticks tho, it's crispy with the triple Y are you so good. I also had the mahi tacos and not sorry for not having any pics cause it was already in my belly!

    Very delicious fish n chips place. Was at a local appointment and saw this place with pretty great reviews. Was hoping for halibut fish n chips or haddock which they only had cod so I went with that. Food was served hot & fresh and no complaints at all, the coleslaw was to my liking and so were the sweet potato fries. Will for sure return.

    Our experience was pretty good. Found this place on our way home from San Diego. Great customer service and the food was good. My husband ordered the fish and chips and enjoyed his food but said there was nothing major to rave about. I had the poke bowl and it was also good. I got it with the original sauce and I feel like the sauce was decent. Everything in my bowl was fresh. What we both really enjoyed was the soda machine which had soda that was made with out any high fructose syrup. So we tried some of the sodas and really enjoyed them.

    I found my new favorite fish & chips spot!! I didn't know about this place until my bf brought me here and I can't believe I haven't had their fish and chips until now. It's tucked away in the corner between the At Home plaza and the plaza with Marshalls. Parking is easily accessible even on the weekend. The restaurant wasn't too busy during the early afternoon and food was served quickly! We ordered the 3 piece fish & chips and the combo that included shrimp & fish. The way the fried seafood is battered is so delicious! The fish & shrimp were crispy, not oily, tender and juicy! I find it difficult to get good fried shrimp these days and fish district's shrimp was not only big but also deveined and not overcooked! The fries are also yummy! Medium thickness and still crispy. The fish & chips came with tartar sauce and the combo came with cocktail sauce (amazing flavor), sriracha mayo (I think), & tartar sauce. They're generous with the sauce & fries portions! Both items were around $17 and left me feeling satisfied.

I liked that they were welcoming and dog friendly. Our party had two dogs. Our party was provided with 3 tables. I tried a couple of cocktails. First, I had the cocktail of the month which was a blueberry version of mint julep. I liked the flavor, but it was much too sweet for me. I then looked over the menu. Most of the specialty cocktails sounded really seeet. I enlisted the help of our server to try to come up with something less sweet. I decided on the Pretty in Pink. Again, it had a good flavor, but was still too sweet. For food, a lot of things sounded good. I chose the artichoke piccata.. It was really good. The artichokes were very tender and slightly breaded in a delicious, delicate piccata sauce. I liked our server. She worked had to serve our large party. She had a positive attitude. One of the food runners did not. When she mispronounced the name of one of the members of our party, we were not sure who ordered it. She visibly rolled her eyes and said she was just going to leave the plate and let us figure it out. All in all, we had a very nice time.I liked the atmosphere and my food. The cocktails, however, were not my favorite. They let us all have separate checks. It has a positive family and dog friendly atmosphere.
