My bestie came to visit it me and work and took me out to lunch and since my office a block away we went to Point Loma Fish Shop. I had only ever ordered chowder before so I was really excited to eat in the restaurant. He ordered the fish and chips and an order of their Fish Shop shrimp and I ordered fried shrimp and chips along with some fountain drinks, then we went to our seats. It was lunch time and we were really lucky because they started picking up as we got our food, which came out soooo quickly. My shrimps were huge, like woah, so tender and juicy and the batter is perfect. The chips are really nice seasoned and perfectly crisp. The tartar sauce is so good, the chunky dill (I think) make it so fresh and the cocktail sauce was so good, does it have a little bit of bbq because it doesn't taste like your average cocktail sauce! I did taste some of Edi's Fish Shop shimp and the seasoning blackened on the shrimp and it was delicious, so good. Since I work really close I will definitely come back because I want to try their shrimp ceviche next. I can't wait to come back! read more

Order at counter, pay, number on table and they bring you your food. Clam chowder a little under seasoned otherwise good flavor, hard to find any clams, potato chunks were on larger side, onion rings ok, Salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly. About $45 included tax and tip. Very little staff interaction, most of them stood at front counter and talked to each other, after food was dropped of you are pretty much on your own. Greeted upon entry. No thank you or interaction when leaving. If you want to order and be left alone this may be for you. Probably going to pick another restaurant tomorrow for dinner. read more

This place never disappoints! Went a little before 12 on Saturday for lunch. They fill up quickly. Fish and chips are the clear favorite but we loved everything else too! Onion rings were crispy and light. My sister wanted a 2nd order of coconut shrimp. Open seating, loved be able to people watch. Bathrooms were spotless as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

I've been here a few times. It's always okay. It's a bit pricey for the food and being counter service. The deal for oysters on Thursdays is what gets me there but often sold out of a several types of oyster. One thing I love about it here is $5 corkage fee! read more

Point Loma Fish Shop - Oysters - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

Always a great meal when I get lunch there. You're going to spend $20+, but it's for seafood, so I guess that helps justify the price tag. You order at the counter upon entering, then go and find a seat. They bring your food out and also clear your table, but drinks (if purchased) are up to you. When there's a line to order, it moves slow. Very small parking lot, if I recall correctly. I do like that they have al-fresco dining, so you can look out over the sidewalk/street and enjoy the beachy vibe. read more

The coconut shrimp here is so good; crispy, light and generous! Had the oyster shooter and spicy it was! Service is friendly, efficient and attentive. It's very beach casual and you order at the counter. Full bar too! Unfortunately their onion rings need rethinking by the chef! The oil is not hot enough so they come greasy and under seasoned. Just awful. Very comfortable vibe here and a local favorite on the Penninsula. read more

Came in to point loma seafood with my cousin for lunch after visiting my uncle in a nearby assisted living facility. My cousin ordered the fish platter, I had a sourdough bread bowl of clam chowder and a small shrimp plate. Lots of food, everything served hot,and tasted good. Ordered at the counter and paid for our lunch. Then our number was called after about 10 minutes, back to the counter to pick up our tray. It was a nice day so we sat at an outside table to eat. Next to San Diego bay and adjacent to point loma Sportfishing landing. Prices were a little high but not astronomical by any means. I'll return. read more

My husband got the fish and chips and clam chowder. Between my 2 daughters, shrimp ceviche, elote tacos, calamari and spicy Dorado taco. My tacos were lacking fish and had lots of toppings. The clam chowder wad creamy and delicious. The shrimp ceviche was great! read more

I've been to the Fish Shop twice so far and loved both visits. It's a dog friendly spot where locals and nearby base sailors enjoy food and drinks. Street parking in and around the neighborhood makes it easy to find a place to square away the vehicle. Orders are placed and paid upfront. The items will be brought over to the table. It can get extremely busy over the weekends and other typical peak hours. I found visiting off peak hours on a Tuesday best. There will be Taco Tuesday deals and it's far less crowded if visited before 5pm. The service quality can vary depending on who is working that day as with anywhere you go and eat. I loved the Fish Shop shrimps that was marinated in savory seasoning. I am glad I ordered it with a side salad because it made for a far more filling meal. The onion rings were melt in the mouth but crispy kind aka my favorite kind!! The clam chowder was a bit chalky and lumpy for my liking, but many others love them. I am looking forward to revisiting in the future. read more

The Mahi mahi sandwich on sourdough was the standout. Get both the garlic butter and fish shop seasoning. The mac salad and onion rings were both surprisingly delicious and definitely worth ordering on the side. They also have a solid selection of adult beverages, which makes it a nice place to unwind if that's your thing. Definitely recommend grabbing a table outside if you can as it's perfect for people-watching while you eat. read more

Friendly casual place for you to get your fish cravings met. I recommend the plate which you get to pick your seasoning and 2 sides. Service is friendly and laid back. Nice and clean with outdoor patio that is dog friendly. There are heaters in the patio for warmth. Food is pretty great with good portions and good meat quality. Fish were grilled very well. I highly recommend you get clam chowder, too! 5/5 just for chowder alone and it's a huge bowl, too. read more

Great fish tacos! It's a cute spot and a really fun location. They have a nice selection of beer. Would totally return!

Craving some really good fish and chips, this spot delivers! The fish pieces were HUGE, tasted fresh, and were perfectly crispy. Plenty of seating on the wrap around patio was also a nice touch, gives off that laid back vibe. Not to mention service was super fast and friendly. Definitely one of those places you'll want to come back to whenever you're in the mood for solid seafood. read more

We ate here twice during our vacation in SD. The food is flavorful and it's a nice place. We had eaten at another restaurant on a pier and their food had no seasoning, among other negative things and, even though it has higher ratings, was not nearly as good as here and Point Loma's portions are a bit better. We will come back here. read more

Yum. Service is friendly and fast and their food is amazing. I'm not a big sea food or fish person in general, but I love the mahi mahi here! I ordered the Elote taco and some fries and they were amazing. Fries are fresh! Taco is stuffed to the brim and mahi mahi tasted perfect. Ambiance is casual and relaxed. I love coming here and chatting with the friendly staff members! They have tvs to entertain yourself with sports. Today it's baseball and golf! read more

They have plenty of TV's to watch sports. The bar has three big screens! They have taco Tuesday specials and on Thursday they have oyster specials and cocktail shrimp. They have a parking lot behind their establishment but they also have street parking which wasn't hard to find a spot. They have spritzer which are delicious. I'd say most cocktails are around 14/15 bucks beers are like 8-10 bucks they also have wine. . They have pitchers special too. Their kids menu is a good portion in case you're not too hungry but want something to munch on while watching some football. Plenty of bars to go to in the area.

We went for a late lunch. I ordered a cajun shrimp taco and a blackened sea bass taco. The shrimp was good, but the sea bass taco was phenomenal. My friend ordered a teriyaki mahi mahi taco and a chipotle swordfish taco. He said both were good, but he couldn't stop raving about the the swordfish taco. It's a drive for us to get there, but it was worth it and we definitely will be back to try other tacos and seafood items. read more

THE FISH SHOP Located in the beautiful neighborhood of Point Loma . Only 5 minutes away from the San Diego airport. This local gem did not disappoint. We tried the shrimp civeche and it was so fresh and delicious. 100/10 I'll be getting it again next time, it's a must. I also tried the pineapple express taco, it was featuring perfectly grilled mahi mahi and the pineapple habenero flavoring with a touch of coconut was a exciting burst of flavors! PS, the service was fast & the food came out fresh! Vibes were 10/10 read more

Mitch's was closed apparently due to some grease fire. SO wanted fish / shrimp n chips. First day in town so just came here. Parking is a bit off as we parked on the street near some residential area. Place is on the corner. Open atmosphere. Orders are done at the entrance and it's seat yourself. Friendly staff. Clam Chowder - Rich and thick. One day hopefully I am this rich n thick. Not a whole lot of clam or potatoes however. Very tasty though. Yellowtail grilled w lemon garlic butter sauce - Well the lemon butter sauce wasn't really present on the fish. However the yellowtail grill and flavor was bomb. The fish wasnt dry and the flavor was fresh and delicious. The wild rice was meh. Fluffy but lacked any flavor. Even the grain flavor. Definitely felt healthy. Onion rings are perfectly cooked and delicious crisp and flavor. Shrimp and Chips - Fries were good. Lots of chips. Shrimp while huge and not overcooked the batter was amazing. Some of the shrimps weren't fully cooked all the way so the batter on the inside part was mush. This was on about 2-3 shrimps out of 8-10. Clam chowder is good and make sure they cook your shrimp. Grilled yellowtail was delicious. read more

Point Loma Fish Shop - Yellowtail Plate w Wild Mixed Grain Rice and Onion Rings Clam Chowder Bowl Shrimp and Chips - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

Way too expensive for the portion sizes. The poke bowl is $22 for a few bites. I would give them a good rating if they lowered their prices.

I came here for first time Sunday July 20, 2025, to meet a MeetUp group. When I arrived, the items on the menu were SO EXPENSIVE, I told other people in line, how expensive the items were. You see I eat at California Fish Grill with this same group, where the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are huge. I attached a picture of fried catfish on top of sweet potato fries and big helping of kale and chia seed cole slaw. I feel the prices for the fish here at Point Loma Fish shop were so expensive, that the only thing I could bring myself to order, was the clam chowder. The cashier showed me the bowl that it would be served in, and said the chowder was thick and delicious. It cost $12.25 for a bowl. But when it arrived they only filled the bowl 2/3 full, about 12 oz. I told her to fill the bowl, but she said it was "weighed" for fixed portions, and I couldn't get anymore. California Fish Grill 12 oz clam chowder is $7.99, 3 piece fish and chips with 2 sides is $13.50, or $10.95 for 2 pieces. Sides are generous portions. The Pt Loma clams were only tiny specs, and I didn't like the taste of the chowder. Not rich enough. Someone at my table said, "How's the clam chowder". I immediately stood up and said " I paid $13.20 for it and I DON'T LIKE IT AND I AM TAKING IT BACK TO GET MY MONEY BACK !" I got up from the table and took it back to the cashier, who also brings you your food to your table. It took 4 days to get my $13.20 credit back to y credit card. She rung up the refund as "Cust bad " (words on receipt) . I decided to get the smoked salmon belly taco, which cost $7.50. The salmon taco was mediocre, but was made much better when I asked her to bring me more avocado sauce, which I used as a salad dressing inside my taco. When I looked at the portions of the Plates that the other people in my group ordered, their portions were really puny. I can't believe they got such small pieces for $23. I only have California Fish Grill to compare with in my mind, and I have returned to California Fish Grill repeatedly, and I am treating my next door neighbors to eat there, cos they like fish places. They have never been to California Fish Grill. I see other Yelpers commented like on May 10, 2025 about the tiny portions at this Pt Loma Fish Shop, describing their portion as a "tiny sample" that cost $20. The Pt Loma Fish Shop doesn't have any catfish. But look at this picture below, of the Fried Catfish with choice of 2 sides that you get at California Fish Grill for $15.95. When I had eaten half of the fish someone came in late, and saw my half and exclaimed "Oh that's a BIG piece" when it was only half of what was served, and I told her I ate half already. I made two meals out of my California Fish Grill $15.95 order. At California Fish Grill, Fish and Chip Plate with two generous sides is only $10.95, and 3 piece Plate is $13.95, but at Pt Loma Fish Shop, Fish and Chips cost over $23 not including tax !!! Serving size does not look worth even $13.95 to MEEEEE. The reason why I am not giving my Pt. Loma experience 1 star, is the cashier was accommodating about the refund which took 4 days to post on my bank statement. She was civil and not rude, and did tell me that it would take a long time. Look at this picture below, of the Fried Catfish with choice of 2 sides that you get at California Fish Grill for $15.95 CFG sides are not served in a tiny ramekin, either! It's a big pile! I take one half the side for another meal. The CFG cook made the mistake of putting the fish fillet on top of newly fried sweet potato fries, which made the fries all soggy. But they made me another batch and put it in a bowl. I give CFG 5 stars at each location I eat at. I first discovered California Fish Grill when they gave Yelp Eliters a free entree, and I have been ordering the fried catfish plate ever since. See picture below. read more

Great menu options with plenty to choose from. Shrimp ceviche was delicious and the mahi mahi taco was fantastic. They also had a firecracker shrimp taco special for 4th of July which was great. The shrimp has the Fish Shop special seasoning on it and it made me want more. Friendly staff ready to answer questions and help you out if you need. Not great parking so be prepared for street parking. But they do have a small space right behind the restaurant but it's a one way small entry so you will have to back out. They have a shrimp seafood boil bag special that I am excited to go back and try one day. read more

Been here a few times the first was great. The second was okay. The third was definitely not okay. The third trip the food was so bad. I thought it was extremely dirty as my fish and chips came out very, very dark, not overcooked just from dirty oil. French fries were extremely soggy for the fryer not to be a temp. My clam chowder was Old liquid, very little clams and potatoes and very thin. My wife had a crab cake sandwich and onion rings and you could tell the onion rings were fried in the same deep fryer as the fish because they were very dark as in dirty oil. To top that the wife got up in the middle of it and got extremely sick. This place used to be good but no longer. I asked for a sign of coleslawor. I think couple dollars $6 for a side of coleslaw. Unbelievable. Not visit this place ever again read more

What a find!!! This is the pearl in the oyster! We sat at the bar and Farah was both our server, bartender and manager. This place is order at the register and they will bring it to you. The shrimp ceviche is some of the best I have ever had. It was fresh, perfect balance of flavors and so delicious! We had a blackened mahi sandwich and it was fantastic! The fries are thin and crispy, so yummy and addictive. We also had a redfish taco and a shrimp taco. Both were delicious, had a colorful presentation and were a large serving. This place is fun, wonderful when the windows are open and the breeze blows through. Farah was a delight to talk to. She makes a great Bloody Mary and cooked a shrimp fresh to top it off. This place is lucky to have such a positive employee. read more

Upon returning the food was again excellent, but I was the payer this time and noticed the starting suggested tip is 18%, and it includes tipping on the sales tax. Quick-serve places like this should have 10% as the starting level as the only service provided is the food being brought to the table. The inflated prices of late automatically increase the tip, so for me, it's a custom tip of 5% if the POS screen starts at 18%. read more

Came here for $1.25 oyster night on Thursday! Really solid and fresh oysters. The ladies behind the counter were really nice and answered questions we had about the menu. You walk in, order at the counter and they give you a number to take with you to your table. They bring you your order and that's it. A pretty straightforward establishment! Parking is around the corner and we had no issues finding any spots. We've come once before and had their fish and chips, fish tacos and their shrimp plates. I recommend the fish and chips read more

Lovely place, good food. I would have gladly given five stars, but for one thing: the woman at the cash register (although very nice) had one-inch acrylic nails. Yukk. It doesn't matter that she's not the chef; it's the fact that she's around food with those talons. The owner needs to set some stricter hygiene standards. read more

Easy parking, order at the counter and pick a seat, the staff will bring your food to you. Open air seating, which is nice option to have in the summer. The crabcake I ordered was good, and the horseradish remoulade was delicious. Not a big fan of it coming out on a few pieces of meh lettuce however. The miss for me was the onion rings, they were huge and in an almost hush puppy batter that was really thick in some spots and nicely crisp in others, but oily. Fish stew was delicious. read more

Escaping the drywall dust of a home remodel, we walked from our Airbnb and found exactly what a neighborhood joint should be: Point Loma Fish Shop. This place doesn't just have a "vibe", it drips with the kind of unpretentious local culture you can't manufacture. Highlights of the Experience: The Guidance: Mel greeted us and acted as our culinary advisor, breaking down the menu and the "local favorites" with genuine passion. The Service: Lorena served us with a warmth that made us feel right at home, even while our actual home was a construction zone. The Food: Fresh, honest, and perfectly prepared. Whether you're here for the Spicy Dorado Tacos or a custom fresh catch plate, they deliver. As a small business owner, I recognize the grind it takes to deliver this level of product and service consistently. It's more than just a meal; it's inspiring to see another business hit the mark so creatively. The Bottom Line: If you're in Point Loma, sit down, listen to the locals, and eat the fish. This is the heart of San Diego. read more
