The welcoming and clean store also features specialty items from Southeast Asia that are challenging to find elsewhere, such as fresh lemongrass, Miso, Asian pasta, fish sauce, red, green, yellow curries, tofu, and fresh vegetables and extensive choice of spices, oils, (malt, rice) vinegars, etc. OMG, I almost forgot all of the home made fresh fish dressings and dips prepared by the owner. My favorite is her tartar sauce (the best) coupled by their Capeadora deep fried Curvino, Mero or Blanco. What a feast and treat. For some reason the fish I buy here always tastes so much better than any purchased from The Black Fish Market. Captain Cortez es una apuesta confiable y segura para todos sus gustos de mariscos. Todo está siempre fresco, sobre montones de hielo fresco todo el día, se deshilacha perfectamente de las escamas y se cocina con una consistencia tierna y rica en sabor, nunca blanda o demasiado sospechosa. La tienda acogedora y limpia también presenta artículos especiales del sudeste asiático que son difíciles de encontrar en otros lugares, como limoncillo fresco, miso, pasta asiática, salsa de pescado, curry rojo, verde, amarillo, tofu y verduras frescas y una amplia variedad de especias, aceites, vinagres (malta, arroz), etc. Dios mío, casi me olvido de todos los aderezos y salsas de pescado fresco hechos en casa preparados por el propietario. Mi favorita es su salsa tártara (la mejor) junto con su Capeadora frita Curvino, Mero o Blanco. Qué fiesta y trato. Por alguna razón, el pescado que compro aquí siempre sabe mucho mejor que cualquiera comprado en The Black Fish Market.

We were honestly blown away by the quality of the fish. We tried the tuna poke, and it was so fresh and delicious. It actually tasted even better than it looked! It looked like a smaller portion at first, but it really wasn't and ended up being very satisfying. We also got the seabass sandwich, which was fantastic. If we were locals, I could definitely see us getting this often. Last but not least, we tried the octopus, which was cooked wonderfully. We really liked that this was such a casual spot, and the person taking our order was so nice and helpful, especially for a newbie like me who wasn't familiar with the menu. We'll definitely be back next time we're visiting San Diego and would absolutely recommend giving this place a try!

The menu is a little hard to read/understand if you don't speak spanish but I just looked things up on my phone before ordering. Our tour guide recommended we stop in here, so I don't have any other local eateries to compare it to, but we had a delicious meal here and would recommend if you are a birria fan.
