    Great value. The seabass grilled fish tacos are enough to come back for. I had those, a grilled shrimp taco, and a shrimp ceviche tostada for $21. The tostada is a huge portion. I'm going to add this place to my weekly.

    Great fried fish tacos!! Would eat this everyday if I could. They're also friendly and sweet!

    Delicious fish tacos, 3 for under $10 on Taco Tuesday! Great value and good service. Friendly staff and cute outdoor seating if you want to enjoy patio dinning. I took mine togo as I am local.

    Free fish soup. Excellent fried fish taco on flour and fried shrimp taco. Ceviche was not great.

    If you ever had Moriscos Nine Seas Seafood/Ocean 97 you know that food truck is the best. I was so sad when I found out they closed. Every time I visited SD, it was my go to place. Luckily with some research I found Seafood La 57 that basically had an identical menu. I took my boyfriend and friends to come try and it was just as delicious as I remember. We ordered fish tacos with a flour tortilla and the Loca Tostada. The fish tacos are amazing! Crispy, moist, and tender. Might be the best fish tacos I've had! The Loca Tostada is perfect for you if you love seafood. The portions are great and the seafood is so fresh. I really can't recommend this place more. We got our food pretty quickly too. You get a complimentary soup while you wait for your food. A perfect casual place to eat with friends and family. It is a food truck, but there's a covered area where you can eat while standing.

    Great delicious fast and easy. Love it. Out to go to sea food Bomb bomb recommend it

    2 fish tacos and 1 shrimp taco on flour tortillas!

    I was spending the day in San Diego, but was heading back up to OC relatively early so I decided to…read moregrab a late lunch in lieu of dinner. I had been to SD twice before and wanted to check out somewhere I hadn't been. Enter Blue Water - the reviews and pics looks great, and the weather called for seafood, so I decided to head here and check it out. This Blue Water is located on India St in Mission Hills, though they have another location in Ocean Beach. Parking can be a little tricky, as there is no parking lot they are on a main road close to a split in a residential area. The interior is pretty spacious - the fish market is towards the front, and the ordering counter is in the back. Seating is spread out between the main area where the market is, a side room, and outdoors in the front. Decor and aesthetics are casual - very seafood restaurant-esque with straightforward design. The foot traffic set up so you order first and then find a table before they serve your meal to you. The menu is extensive - they have a large selection of fish that can be prepared several ways. It's a little overwhelming to take in, but there was no pressure for us to order; if there's a line all the more time to explore. I ultimately decided to get their mini shrimp tacos - these were served on a corn tortilla and topped with cabbage, tomatoes, onions, white sauce, and cheddar cheese with a side of tomatillo sauce. The tacos were great - super fresh, they didn't skimp on the shrimp, and all the flavors and textures worked really well together. I also ordered a cup of NE clam chowder which was good - not the best one I've had but for being in Southern California it held its own. Service was good - I'm seeing reviews of long lines but I think I came at the right time; there are barely a line to order and my meal was served shortly after that. Overall, Blue Water is a yes - I had a great experience here and wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in SD.

    Service is terrible. We have a baby and asked for a high chair, which was provided. But after I…read moresettled the baby and everything away, they asked us to move because we hadn't ordered, even though my sister was nearly halfway through the line, and there were multiple empty tables. The worst part is, it wasn't even polite when they asked us. All the employees were giving us attitude for something they didn't tell us when we arrived, nor when they gave us the high chair. They want all four of us to stand in line instead of sitting at the empty tables. They seriously need training on customer service, at least to show empathy, sincerity and apologize to customers. I guess they don't care because we're Asian and believe they don't need our business here.

    We were instantly drawn to Pete's because of the dog friendly patio. There are about 6 tables on…read morethe very small patio, and on a Thursday during lunchtime all but 2 were taken. You'll have to park about a quarter mile away and potentially in a neighborhood because there is no parking on the street where Pete's is. I was sold on the crab roll as I'm not a really big fan of lobster. We also opted for the fish and shrimp. The crab roll is a stand out on its own. It had very great flavor and was fresh. I didn't mind the thick piece of bread that it came on, but I found myself just eating the crab itself. The fish and shrimp were actually quite nice and fresh. The shrimp was better than the fish in terms of seasoning. The fish was in desperate need of any type of seasoning. It was extremely plain. A dash of salt, or your favorite dipping sauce perhaps. I did find it interesting that the fish and shrimp plate did not come with a lemon. The fries were not too bad and reminded me a bit of In-N-Out fries when they've been in the bag for five minutes longer than they should and become soggy. They aren't bad, just would have preferred them to be crispier. The patio is covered and although it's small and the tables can feel close to each other the area still nice. For these two dishes, we spent $58.

    10/5 Stars! Pete…read moreSeafood in North Park absolutely blew me away. The lobster roll is $36, but honestly, it feels like you're getting the meat from two full lobsters packed into one roll. They do not skimp on portions, and every bite was loaded with fresh, flavorful lobster. We also ordered the fried scallops, and they were incredible--perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. The fish and chips absolutely slapped too. Fresh fish, great crunch, and done exactly right. What impressed me most was the value. Seafood isn't cheap, but the portions and quality here make every dollar worth it. You leave feeling like you got your money's worth and then some. If you're in North Park and love seafood, Pete Seafood is a must-try. Great food, generous portions, and overall an amazing experience. I'll definitely be back.

    We visited on a Monday for the AYCE option and had a great experience. Since we arrived right at…read moreopening, parking was easy and we were seated right away. Our server was very attentive, which was especially nice since we were among the first customers there. A few things to note: there is a 90-minute dining limit, and everyone at the table shares the same seafood bag, so your group will need to agree on one sauce flavor per round. We only made it through two rounds, but everything we ordered was delicious. The fries were crispy, and the mussels, shrimp, and clams were all meaty. The sauce was flavorful and complemented the seafood well. We finished the meal with the fried Oreo and ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending. We'd definitely come back again for the AYCE experience!

Half of the shrimp and crawfish we had were dead, so the taste and texture wasn't there. The clams and mussels were very sandy. The sauce was good but medium spice didn't have any kick at all but the next flavor was "atomic" which is very intimidating (I regret not trying the next level up though). Plus the service was slow and parking is terrible. My favorite items were the lemon pepper wings, quail eggs, and Cajun fries though lol

Despite the restaurant being busy, we never felt any lag in service at all. The seafood? I'll start with the good. My brother enjoyed his sea bass, and my dad enjoyed his Alaskan cod. Both thought the portions were a little small for the price, but they liked their meals. The cioppino, on the other hand, was probably one of the worst I've ever had. The broth was oddly sour, and nearly all of the shellfish was overcooked. I almost spit the calamari out. It was that bad. The shrimp was good, and the chunks of fish were decent, but overall this dish was a huge miss. At almost $50, it's hard to justify. They either need to go back to the drawing board or take it off the menu. The standout was the daily cherry sorbet. WOW. Easily some of the best sorbet I've ever had. One random thing: whatever linen they use sheds everywhere. I loved how soft it felt until I walked outside and realized I was covered in lint. Would I come back? No. That said, it was still a lovely dinner with family. The ambiance was nice, and the service was genuinely exceptional. If you're coming for the hospitality, you'll probably leave happy. If you're coming for the cioppino, I'd strongly recommend ordering something else.
