We normally make the drive to the Encinitas location. We saw that this opened closer to us in Oceanside and figured it would be the same. We were excited to share a fish n chips and an order of shrimp and chips. Unfortunately, the flavor was missing from the fish and the size of the fish was much smaller. Pretty disappointed and we will be making the drive back to Encinitas next time we want some fish n chips. read more

This place is a gem. Fantastic shrimp and fish tacos. Great staff, friendly service and very clean. Can't wait to come back and make this one of my first stills to eat at. Highly recommended. read more

We had Fish and chips the fish was fresh and tasty. We enjoyed our meal. Definitely worth a visit.

Of the 3 dishes we ordered, each one had problems. Fish and chips was probably the worst.

Oysters were good on happy hour. Calamari was tasty but a small portion for a $16.50 appetizer. Only 2 draft beers available for happy hour pints/pitchers. Lots of seating inside and outside. read more

Great fresh fish! Taco's are excellent and clam chowder was superb! Good prices and excellent fresh food!

Food was great! Portions were enough that we could split a cup of soup and an entree.

The food was fantastic. Our orders were ready quickly. There was a nice variety of options for seafood. They also had an extensive kids menu for picky eaters. Ordering can be intimidating the way the menu is presented, but there's no way around that other than preparing ahead of time. Seating can be hard. We arrived early (5) and got lucky. We willl def return read more

Great food ,great quality service and I recommend this place if you like seafood you need go try this place on cost high way in Oceanside ca read more

Food was great-awesome flavor. Service was excellent. Definitely coming back soon. Recommend to try tacos- big portions and great flavors

Great spot for some beer and fish tacos!! Was told they have great specials in Thursdays $5 shrimp cocktails!! My shrimp and fish tacos were delicious almost gave them 5 stars but because they didn't have a spicy house salsa for my tacos I held back. Maybe next time I'm in town they will have some. The service is normal. And it's a happening place with a crowd and a great spot!! read more

The oysters are PERFECT, the service FAST! They have a very large selection of draft beers!

Finally! Long awaited. I've been going to the Encinitas locale for years & this one is around the corner. The menu is great. I've never had anything disappoint. My go to: coconut shrimp, fish shop chowder and the Dorado, but you can't go wrong. Full bar, local craft brew and great staff. The building they took over is prime. Great setup for indoor, bar, outdoor shaded, outdoor patio, it has it all. read more

Was really good! Just like the Encinitas location. A little spendy that's why 4 stars.

Been twice. I ordered my yellowtail medium rare and the first time it was perfect, the second time it was too cooked. The salads are huge and full of extra good ingredients like capers. The fries are good. Service is adequate. Liked eating at the bar at my second visit. Quiet enough and friendly. read more

I love seafood. Here it was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the Fish Shop Shrimp and Crab Cake! Friendly servers and nice atmosphere. read more

This place has a cool ambience, outdoor seating , a few big screens to watch any sports . Spicy oyster shooter is good ,the fish and chip ehhh . Kinda blah, and way over priced drinks . read more

First time there but not our last. Everything we had was great. Elote Taco craveable!! Highly recommend!

My husband and I went into Fish Shop a couple of days after it opened. We realized that this company has other nearby locations and figured those looked good so we would give it a shot. When walking in, the restaurant is bright and airy and very spacious. You order at the stand and pick your own seat. Everyone who worked there was very nice, gave us warm greetings, explained the process, and checked on us regularly. The menu has lots of food and drink options (cocktails, wine, beer on tap). We ordered the fish n' chips, a small side of onion rings, and the spicy dorado taco (came to ~$39 not including tip). The price seemed a little steep at first, but when we got the food they were big helpings. We enjoyed the fish n' chips the most, including the yummy tartar sauce it came with! The taco was also pretty good, I just wished it had more spicy aïoli in it to give it a little more creaminess/heat (I'm a sauce girl). The onion wings were good, but they were our least favorite. They had just a little too much batter versus onion and weren't salty enough for our taste. All in all, we still ate all we could and still took leftover home. The atmosphere is really cool. Nice to be close to the beach, you can feel the sun and breeze through the big open windows, and there are televisions everywhere (with sound!!!) if you are looking to catch a game. We will definitely be back and look forward to trying more meals here. read more

We love having a local fish shop in our neighborhood. Great food and great service. Enjoy!

Food was great. A couple of orders of fish and chips and some clam chowder. Fish was nice and thick and the coating was just enough. Held together great and didn't separate when you bit into it. Clam chowder was tasty. read more

Awesome service from everyone and the food is delicious. We try to go on Thursday for oyster happy hour. Have not been disappointed all the times we go. Definitely will return. read more

This place is hands-down the best fish shop in all of the Oceanside. Parking can be a little tricky. Make sure you get the fish stop seasoning and definitely try one of their tacos. read more

The food was really good, a little expensive but I can look past that, the service was alright I had to ask for utensils.

Fish shop shrimp mfer's! Drink some beers in the sun and chow down! You will not regret

What an awesome place! We took the train down from OC for a nice day trip and had seen a FB reel as to how good the food was. Mel, our server, was amazing, so cheerful and upbeat and the grilled shrimp (get it with the Fish Shop seasoning) was delish! We're getting a jar to take home, it was that good!! read more

Staff A. Ambiance Aminus, street traffic and auto shop noise outside patio. Service was Prompt, good delivery, a bit rushed didn't confirm order unless asked. Food:Great size Seabass taco and quality Slaw. Lobsters taco lacked the lobster abundance, skimpy, too much cabbage, too little lobster. ok sauce Will re-eval next visit. Nice bar. read more

Food was perfect I had the spicy dorado taco with a spicy peach margarita absolutely perfect! The service was great! The bartender was incredibly attentive and helpful, he made the best drinks Ambience was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this spot if you are looking for fresh fish and spectacular drinks! read more

Fish Shop - Seafood Near Me - Oceanside, California

Let me start by saying that I love to eat good fish and chips. Had a craving for fish and chips and wanted to venture out and find a different place. Found Oceanside Fish Shop conveniently located on Coast Highway. I was promptly greeted. Ordered fish and chips, shrimp and chips, fish tacos, beer, and a margarita. You order with the cashier and they will bring the food to your table. Food arrived fresh and hot. I like that the batter was not too heavy. It was a good ratio of fish to batter. The margarita was yummy. The vibe was chill...perfect place to meet with friends and family. I will definitely be going back. I recommend coming here to eat. read more

We came here last night and everything was awesome! My husband got the swordfish platter which was INSANELY GOOD! And I got two lobster tacos and I was really excited for them, but I feel like it lacked flavors we also got an elote taco and that was really great as well. All around a great vibe, it's very nice and chill inside. Plenty of seating. Will definitely be back again to try other items on the menu! read more

Clam chowder in a bread bowl was excellent. Would definitely go back and have again or try something else.

What a great place! This was our second visit. Fish tacos, an albacore sandwich, and onion rings. It's casual, not excessive with pricing, and really delicious! We are ready to go back. Like soon! read more

Food was very good! Ordering was incredibly slow and the news a line form it's gets slower.

It's was OK clam chowder was a C sparse clam and flavor. Poke bowl was delicious asked for side of garlic bread it was white toast with butter (little disappointing) read more

Food was yummy! I had a shrimp taco - tacos are big, glad I only got one. Hubby had yellowtail sandwich, fries, fish chowder. He loved it all. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely check this place out. Nice outdoor patio in addition to the inside seating read more

Service was amazing despite them having a line out the door! Went for Thursday oyster night and tried a variety all of which were very fresh and tasty. Also got the shrimp and chips and was a great size portion! Definitely coming back soon read more

Been wanting to try this place since the've opened. The order process is not executed well, and the taking of phone orders at the same time (all being done by the same person), is completely inefficient. We were not in a hurry, but it was a bit ridiculous how long it took. We never got our order in, and ended up walking across the street to LTH. We'll try it again in a couple weeks, but based on other reviews...not going to set my expectations too high. read more

Great food, fresh ingredients. We had tacos and red snapper with garlic butter marinated with side of mixed grain rice and coleslaw. Friendly crew. Not very loud environment. read more

Cool little spot, grab some day time beers with some fish and chips with a breeze on your face. Food sometimes good and sometimes good enough but always a good vibe! read more

Finally tried the fish and chips. The fish was pretty good. Fries were nothing special. With tax and tip, I paid $26. Would have been nice to have coleslaw. Also, no parking. Had to circle 5 times and wait for someone to leave. Might return, but no hurry. read more
