Thursday 4:00 pm oyster night! It's one of the best kept secrets. $1.25 per oyster, served with cocktail sauce, horseradish, and a shallot vinaigrette! If you have not tried it, you are missing out! Pro tip: get here early!! They sell out quickly. read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally got the chance to stop by! I ordered half a dozen of oysters, ahi tuna sandwhich on white bread & add avocado, and my bf got the red snapper plate w/ white rice and veggies. Everything tasted great and fresh but my favorite was definitely the oyster!! They also have oyster night on Thursdays for $1.25. Lots of seating and they have their own little parking lot (gets filled quick). Definitely will be back again! read more

We ordered online and picked up at the allocated time 4:17.. we live up the hill so we're home by 4:25. My husband had a grilled Seabass taco on a corn tortilla. The tortilla was not just cold it hadn't been cooked/warmed and the fish was just barely warm. I had a halibut taco the same problem, cold. Neither tacos had any flavor and we didn't even bother to eat the second ones we ordered. We love to support local small businesses but we were very disappointed and we paid over $50 for four tacos.. Back to Taco Surf for us! read more

I remember waiting in a long line after dinner to try this fish taco. It was fresh and flavorful, but I think the length of the lines set my expectations too high. Good thing I had great company! Limited seating so we had to stakeout for people leaving and then try to save seats. I probably take it for granted that we are in California with all the seafood and the best tacos. Worth a try if you can find out what time will avoid the crowds! read more

I absolutely love the fish house shrimp. It's my favorite thing here. The clam chowder here that they juggge up and call fish house chowder is delicious as well. It is very sparce inside, you get in line, order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Great beer selection too. One can sit inside at one of the metal picnic tables or outside on the patio. It's a great family place too. Go! Yum! read more

Walked over for a catchup with a friend. Always seen this spot but finally decided to try it out. Menu is extensive and lots of variations you can try. We opted to eat light so just had a taco each and grabbed a bottle of wine to share. The outdoor seating was refreshing to kick off the summer. Dog friendly and I believe they even have their own small parking lot available. read more

Love PB Fish Shop! Our favorite stop to SD. The food is so fresh and always the best. We love the Pineapple Express taco, shrimp taco and their delicious clam chowder. Any fish choice is top notch. The service is fast and food is delivered quick. While you wait you can sit inside and watch the latest games or take in the SD sun in their patio seating. read more

We happened upon this space and aside from very limited parking lot (lots of street parking available) this was a great spot!! There are so many spots to sit, inside, outside, lots of umbrellas and awnings for the outside seats. The benches inside are comfy too. We ordered from counter, they give you a number and then they bring the food to you. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I asked lots of questions and the lady taking our order was happy to answer them and make suggestions. Which I appreciated for our first time here. Picking the tacos may seem overwhelming, but just pick combos with your heart! Haha. My favorite was the salmon with teriyaki glaze. I Also did shrimp with garlic rub (i think) both on corn tortillas. The toppings that come with them and added avocado (extra $1.50) made them all so yummy. This place is a must try if you are in the area, for sure. Beers were good too! Restroom was very clean and well stocked. read more

Found this gem on Tik tok!! I am so glad I picked this spot for fish tacos! Starters: A dozen oysters - it was soooo good and fresh. Clam Chowder - 4/5, I wish it was a bit hotter temperature wise. I got two tacos ~ Spicy dorado taco: I liked the combination in this one! The fish was really fresh. 4/5 Elote taco: The workers recommended this one so I was super excited to try it as I like elote. I didn't like the toppings on this one.. so I ended up just eating the fish and picking at the toppings. 3/5. I can't wait to come back here for my next trip to SD. read more

Excellent selections of fresh fish prepared in many different wonderful ways either prepared as tacos, a salad or a plate. Love the fish and chips for big pieces of fish with some nice fries. Tacos are lovely. My son likes the spicy El Dorado. My husband loved the taco with halibut. We like the fish shop chowder that has the sausage in it. Great choice of beers on tap! I've also gotten the Seabass before, which is lovely. Service is good and quick. Tuesdays are popular with oysters and they're featuring shrimp boils as well. Great ambience with lots of seating outside dogs are welcome.... read more

Arrived and placed my order just before the line went out the door around 1230. Ordered fish n chips and a grilled mahi mahi taco. You find a seat in their large indoor or outdoor patio and the food comes to you piping hot. The food was great. Known for the fish tacos but the fish n chips was righteous! read more

3/9/26 Came on a Monday evening, and their parking lot was mostly filled because it's so small. I'd imagine that weekends must be terrible finding street parking or getting stuck in that tiny parking lot. They have plenty of indoor/outdoor seating with string lights providing a nice fisherman-esque environment. I came excited for fish tacos based on the great reviews, but left ever so slightly disappointed. Elote Taco, Flour (7/10) - This one worked well! Regarding fish, this place does not skimp! Each bite offers a generous bite of their grilled Mahi Mahi. However, this better be expected when you're paying $7+ per taco - Corn, cheese, and dressing on this taco was really good, and really enjoyable. It's definitely an American-twist on fish tacos, but enjoyable. TKO Taco, Flour (4/10) - Didn't enjoy this taco, would NOT recommend. - Great fish portions as expected, but this one just felt...very boring. The white sauce was boring, cabbage was boring, all the flavors just did not stand out. Maybe this taco is meant to emphasize the fish flavor? - This is probably a "standard fish taco," but at the price, this was super underwhelming. Feel like Rubios tastes better than this. Halibut Taco, Flour (7/10, seasonal/fresh catch of day) - Halibut was delicious! Meat was super tender, soft, and enjoyable - Not sure what sauce/toppings they used, but I just remember it was really good, and would recommend this Overall: Elote Taco + Halibut (seasonal) Tacos were good and recommended. Flour tortillas work well too. Would NOT recommend TKO. Parking lot is small, get ready for street parking. read more

One of my favorite places for a casual lunch or dinner. You can order any fish with a variety of marinades served as a plate, salad, sandwich, tacos, etc. I really like the mahi sandwich with teriyaki sauce. And of course they have great fried seafood and chowder. They also serve a variety of tap beers and wine. And a large patio outside with picnic tables is dog friendly. read more

We were in town we for a conference and this place was recommended to us. You order at the counter and they will bring the food out to you. There are a few tables inside but even more seating outside. The whole restaurant had a airy vibe. The fish and chips comes with 4-2oz pieces of fish, perfectly fried. I was full after 2 pieces but I ate all 4 pieces anyway. The fries were so good also that I couldn't stop eating. read more

A go to place for my husband and I in Pacific Beach! We absolutely LOVE their ceviche!!! We like to get it mixed so we get mahi mahi and shrimp in it. That is a must whenever we go here. There's always a good amount of the shrimp and mahi mahi in it with all the other ingredients mixing together perfectly. I also really love their fresh chips! The Tko taco is one of my favorites and my husband loves the fish shop shrimp. Service has always been great here! It can get busy and the line to order can get long, but it never has taken too long for us to get our food. There is SO much outdoor seating here which we love as well as quite a bit of indoor seating (there's a lot more outdoor). You get a table buzzer for them to know where to bring your food out to and have a designated place to put it on each table which is neat. They have water cups you can ask for if you are staying inside or outside they have a water cooler area as well as a spot with to-go containers, napkins, utensils, etc. It is always very clean and organized inside and outside. They also have a loyalty program which is neat! My husband and I love coming here to get the mixed ceviche as well as trying other delicious menu items. They also will have daily specials and you are able to buy fresh fish to take home to cook yourself. We really love this fish shop and their fresh tasty food! Highly recommend! read more

Came on a friday night. There was a bit of a line but nothing too bad. Enjoyed the drinks and the food we had for the night. The loaded fries were really good and would get again, great sauce. The yellowfin taco was just okay. Swordfish taco was great, I recommend it. Got both tacos with the fishshop seasoning and thinking it may of been better to get two different seasonings for each taco instead. Nice chill place to hang out for some food and drinks down in PB! read more

We had a nice lunch at the Fish Shop in PB, and it was fantastic! I chose a Salmon Taco on a corn tortilla with the chipotle glaze. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the glaze was exactly as described on the menu, a sweet and smoky glaze with a medium spice. Becky went with the Jumbo Shrimp Taco with garlic butter marinade in a flour tortilla. It too was a delicious taco. Both were dressed very well with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, mixed cheeses and house cilantro white sauce. Just enough to compliment the fish, not obscure it. To round out our plates we ordered the jasmine rice, fries, coleslaw and macaroni salad. (Two sides per plate). They all hit. Fries were hot and crispy, the rice was excellent fluffy and light, creamy coleslaw and really good mac salad. Service at the outdoor patio bar was great. We loved the Fish Shop in Encinitas, now we love the PB location also. read more

Started coming here years ago based on recommendations from local friends. Now we stop every time we're in San Diego. Never disappoints. Visited twice on our 3 day weekend as getting fresh seafood in our home town is rare. Tonight we had a couple mahi tacos, clam chowder, and fish shop sandwich. Everything was great. Thursday night was shrimp scampi 5/$5- great deal. See ya next time we're in town. read more

Wow! We came here on a whim and ordered two tacos, one slipper lobster and one sea bass, along with ceviche made with a mix of shrimp and fish. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. The staff were super nice and friendly, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in San Diego! read more

Had a great time at the Fish Shop. Surprisingly, the restaurant wasn't too full for a Friday night so we only had to wait in a short line to order. There isn't much seating available inside so we got a table in the extended outdoor area which was spacious and comfortable with the heated lamps. I love how many options there are on the menu and there are plenty of specials throughout the week. We opted for a couple of tacos, the Halibut fish and chips (Fry-day special) and some sides of macaroni salad and clam chowder. Our only problem was that the macaroni salad was dry so it wouldn't be something we order again. However, everything else was great. The fish and chips were so big and the breading was so crispy, tasted amazing with the tartar sauce and malt vinegar. I can't wait to come again and explore the menu more. read more

Was craving some fish and chips and on the recommendation of a friend stopped by the PB Fish Shop to try their fish and chips. Since it was a Friday, they were having a special on it with red snapper as the fish. The shop had a long line and was half way filled up but service was quick and easy. You line up and order and then grab a table and they bring the food to you. My food arrived in five minutes and was delicious. A lightly breaded red snapper with a heaping of fries. The fish was cooked perfectly and was moist and flaky. The fries were ok but nothing to write home about. Overall a great spot for fish in all forms, from plate to sandwich form. read more

Honestly, trash. The calamari was super dry and over fried. Had no flavor. Same with the coconut shrimp. The shrimp cocktail was the SADDEST shrimp cocktail I have ever seen. And didn't even come with cocktail sauce. Brown lettuce underneath and the shrimp were mealy. SO. BAD. The ahi poke was mushy and definitely not fresh. Oysters were okay. Kinda hard to mess up. Bloody Mary was terrible. It had something in there that was carbonated/effervescence. Idk if the mix fermented or what. But also no bueno. In addition to the black and old olive they put in it. Clam chowder was decent. But over all, terrible experience. Idk how this place has such rave reviews. read more

Been way too many years since the last time I was here. The dedicated parking lot is long gone. Replaced with outdoor seating. Park your vehicle across the street at the side lot of CVS and run like you are playing a real life game of Frogger. If you are indecisive, look at the menu posted outside and then get in line. There is a high probability of changing your mind the longer you wait in line. That is what happened to me. I walked in with one thing in mind and by the time I got to the front of the line, my order was different. You place your order at the register, find a seat and it is brought to you. They have these high tech trackers located throughout the restaurant so they know where you are. Pretty cool. When I got to the register, I knew I had to get the Thursday special of 5 shrimp cocktail for $5. The shrimp were fresh. The cocktail sauce was spicier than expected. I also got the Elote taco on a corn tortilla with avocado added. When it arrived, it was much bigger than a traditional fish taco. Extremely messy. The fish wasn't quite was I was hoping for. It was a little on the dry side but the corn and avocado helped to save it. The last item on my tasting menu was the coconut shrimp. I enjoyed this the best out of everything I ate. It was very tasty. The coconut coated the shrimp well and didn't overpower it. The dipping sauce was good compliment. 4 shrimp come in an order. A small serving of jasmine rice also came with it. It was fine but I didn't really eat it. I miss not really interacting with the wait staff but they kept the tables clean and clear for new customers. I sat outside on the patio along bar like seating facing the street so I could people watch as I was dining solo. Really enjoyed my experience more with the great upbeat alternative music being played - Two Door Cinema Club, Hozier, Glass Animals, Foster the People I had to ask and found out that it was a handcrafted Spotify playlist - Oatmeal by Amy Lauren. read more

Just got to SD from Vegas and wanted a quick bite that was dog friendly. Upon arriving there was a sign saying no dogs allowed inside. So I had my bf wait outside while i ordered the food and drinks except i had to keep walking back out to ask him questions about his order. The lady there, super sweet said we can bring my dog inside and also sit inside. I was super happy. (Mind you my dog is a little Maltese/Poodle mix) We ordered the fish n chips & Poki bowl. Both were absolutely delicious and quick to come out. Super fresh. Customer service was amazing and the staff were just super friendly. Would recommend eating here :) read more

It's all about their incredibly fresh fish. You know this place is good based on the line continually snaking out the restaurant and through the patio! We came for tacos around 7:00 pm on a Thursday and the line to order wrapped halfway around the building. Despite the long queue, things moved fairly quickly (~30 min before we ordered at the counter). I appreciated that the servers will occasionally come down the line to see if anyone needs a libation while they wait! We ordered the Ceviche and Spicy Dorado Taco (mahi mahi) and both were outstanding. Honestly, I wish we were hungrier because everything coming out of the kitchen looked good! Will definitely be returning to sample my way through their tacos. read more

Grew up eating fresh fish and fish tacos in Mex all my life. Forgot to take a picture of the tacos but while they aren't traditional toppings they still were very tasty. The highlight of my multiple visits is always the clam chowder. It's flavorful, filling and perfectly seasoned. The fish and chips were great, even better that they weren't greasy. The salmon sandwich was ok, though I felt it needed some kind of aoli to not taste dry. Not a bad dish though, may just be my own preference. Plenty of space to sit. Very SoCal surf shack vibes. Not much parking, the spots they did have seems to be blocked off, but there is some in the neighborhood behind. Waiters were nice, no objections. They managed well despite the heavy lunch traffic. So far one of my fave fish places in SD. read more

Pacific Beach Fish Shop has easily become one of my top spots in San Diego. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this place is a must for fresh, flavorful seafood in a laid-back beach setting. The standout? Their Thursday oyster happy hour! From 4PM to close, they serve up $1.25 oysters that are insanely fresh and perfectly shucked. I came with a few friends, and we ended up ordering dozens--no regrets. Pair them with a one of their rotating local beers, and you're in coastal heaven. Beyond the oysters, the whole menu is a win. The casual, dog-friendly patio adds to the charm, and the staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable. It's the kind of place where you can come in flip-flops and relax. Pro tip: Get there early on Thursdays--the line gets long and those oysters go fast! read more

They have great deals on oyster days, and the oysters were really fresh and delicious. We also enjoyed the clam chowder and ceviche. Unfortunately, the fish taco, fish & chips, and ahi poke weren't my favorites. However, I didn't like the ordering style.

We ordered to-go and they were quite quick with their service. I ordered a fish taco and a clam chowder bowl. Honestly the fish taco was pretty standard. I wouldn't say it was the most impressive thing I ate, but it was bountiful of the tomato's and lettuce. The clam chowder though was really good! It was hearty and thick, very flavorful as well. That made me so full. Luckily there's a small parking lot in the back and plenty of seating around. Nice restaurant to grab fish tacos and more. read more
