My mom and I really loved the food here. We had the dozen oysters to start! They were fresh and…read moreslightly sweet The track taco was super yummy. This is their award winning taco! I enjoyed the big, juicy pieces of shrimp and the mango slaw on top. Would definitely get this one again! We also shared the fish and chips - beer battered cod. I liked how the breading wasn't thick and it remained crispy!! Also, it didn't feel heavy or too oily at all. The fish inside was moist. The coleslaw that came with it was good too and it was a little sweet. I didn't like the tartar sauce that much and honestly didn't feel like the fish needed it because it already had good flavor. Service was great! The person who took our order was very nice. Very casual place! Can't wait to come back and try other items

I didn't even know about this restaurant/market - Blue Water - and was brought here by my friends…read morewho reside in this metro area. Since I tend to always ask for Italian or Greek food, I felt it was only right for me to acquiesce to what they wanted to eat that night. Blue Water sits about halfway between Old Town and Little Italy on the side of I-5 opposite from the international airport. There are other restaurants clustered in these few blocks that are also popular. If you are willing to walk a few blocks, you can take the trolley here. One orders at the counter and the food is then brought out to you via a placard with a number you put on your table. The service at Blue Water was unremarkable, but, since there was a constant line, you can't expect them to fawn over you. The prices vary, but, for the more "exclusive" slabs of fish, they run a little on the higher side. The interior has woodsy and somewhat seaside nautical decor. It might also take a little bit of work to find a table owing to its popularity. I will eat seafood, and like some types of seafood very much, but I'd say I don't care for more than half of the seafood out there. Here, they feature many types of seafood, all of which are fresh and you can peruse all the glass cases displaying it. Coming from the kitchen, there are some themed and nuanced presentations of it. I didn't need an entire fish market. I just order pieces of fish that can be presented like a piece of steak and, hopefully, with as little cartilage as possible. Similarly, I also like some smaller fish made to look that way, such as trout. I'm not a big fan of shellfish and don't eat clams, mussels, calamari, and others, but do like shrimp and scallops. They seem to put together some nice platters with scallops. I will also eat lobster, but have probably done so less than what one can count on two hands. If someone wants to treat me to the latter, I'm in. The three platters delivered to the table were enjoyed with my friends hosting me here enjoying the food more than I did. To keep things simple, I ordered a trio of fish tacos. They were fairly good. My friends liked their dishes more than I did. I typically wonder if I'm going astray when I'm not giving a business a rating that's in line with the herd. Three stars does indeed mean that a place is fine and Blue Water is fine. I might be doing this because of the service, the pricing of some items such that you wouldn't want to add much on, and the overall appeal of my selected dish. However, since there are many other four and five star reviews, and if you really like fish, Blue Water will most likely be reliable for you.

Really miss the old way things used to be. i'm gonna have to try tunaville or go back to point Loma. I also miss the old people they used to employ. But mostly it sucks that now you see fish out there when it shouldn't be out there anymore and just weird tail pieces left and it's not trimmed very well and there's not a lot of variety. Why go to the East Coast for Atlantic Farmed Salmon? Why keep weird pieces of the local fisherman's catch out there that make the whole thing seem like a bad deal?

There's a lot very close by but parking is $8 ($5 if you get validation by making a $10 purchase in one of the shops at Seaport Village). A lot was sold out by the time we got there so I would recommend coming early in the morning. They had fishmongers scaling and cleaning fish off the pier and a wide array of fresh fish by the pound (prices were very affordable). When we were there, there was one "cooked foods" booth with clam chowder, ceviche, fish and chips, uni hand rolls, etc. Prices were fair but the line was long so we opted to skip it. Much of the menu was sold out by that time anyway. Food looked decent based on what I saw others eating. Overall it's worth a stop if you're in the area, want to do some shopping at Seaport Village, can find parking, etc. Otherwise I'm not sure it's worth a trip per se.

SO GOOD!!! Only bought fresh raw fish, did not try any of the cooked food, but what I got was all…read moreexcellent. If you do buy a whole fish and don't want to clean and gut it yourself, there is a stall at the very end of the pier that will do it for you for about $1/lb (up to $20/fish). I bought a big slab of bigeye tuna (4lbs), and some smaller (but still large) filets of ono and halibut (maybe 3 lbs each?), and 3 rock crabs (2 female,1 male -- loved that I could choose crab sex). Total cost of the fish was $76, and the crabs were $13. For that amount of fish, I think it's really great. I prepared the tuna as tataki and poke. I checked with the seller than the fish had been frozen on the fishing vessel to kill parasites so it was good to go. INSANELY delicious. If I were hosting a big party, I would absolutely go for a whole fish. The whole halibuts were about 7-14 lbs each (for $13/lb) and the whole tunas were about 20 lbs each (for $3/lb!!!) in Dec 2024.

Sitting is both inside and outside. We ordered several tacos, grilled sword fish, halibut, (2) yellow tail and shrimp. We also ordered a halibut sandwich. We sat in the patio outside. Beautiful outdoor sitting. We waited about 10-15min for our food. Wow their tacos were big!!!. The size of the fish were huge and they packed the shrimp on the taco as well. The fish and shrimp were grilled to perfection. It was moist and tender. The cabbage, red onion, tomato and sauce gave it a nice crunch in every bite. Adding a hot sauce elevated the flavors and it was hard to stop eating. The fish sandwich was also huge and grilled perfectly. My hubby could not stop raving how delicious it is. This meal was worth the wait! It is one of the best, freshest seafood I have had in awhile. It was just yummy and my favorite word, "amazingly delicious". As always we were stuffed!!!
