Low gps was not helpful in finding this restaurant. But, it's easy to spot the sign. I ordered a mahi corn tortilla taco and a jumbo shrimp taco online for pick up and it was ready quickly. I'm glad because it was the best taco ever. It was my first time and I look forward to coming back.

Awesome ambiance. Food is absolutely delicious, the Clam Chowder soup is insane! but some items are a bit pricey but worth it, like the elote taco. No sit down service, order at counter and they will bring your food to you.

Very cute place with good patio and the seaside town vibe:):). Lovvvve it! The fish dishes are fresh and delicious!! I was at Fish 101 yesterday and they are at the cheaper end but Fish shop is definitely of better quality!

Soooo yummy 😃😋 i came here because of the reviews about the onion rings and they are soooo good 😋😋❤️ even as i was eating i got five people asking about the onion rings 😂❤️. But also their fish shop shrimp was the best seasoning , at first i didn't know if Cajun and brown sugar would work but it was soo delicious because the brown sugar was the crispy bits on the shrimp 😋😋❤️ and the clam chowder was delicious too , i wish that was a bigger portion 🤣❤️ this place is soo inviting and clean and trash cans everywhere so there is no trash on the ground 😎 i like that they have indoor seating and outdoor seating 😎 the staff was beyond friendly and helpful ❤️🥰 their restrooms are really clean for being so small . The only thing that is a little trouble is the parking lot ...... One side is good and the other side is too small for a truck or van , i saw some parked there and was like whoaa how are they going to get out 😮🤷 there is also street parking too .

I had the daily catch Fish n Chips. The batter is super light and crispy, and the fish melted like butter. Great beers on tap, bottles available, and wines. A lo line formed, but the wait after is short, and food comes out hot. Lots of outdoor seating with heat lamps for the cooler days, plenty of indoor seating as well. Staff was quick and friendly. Everyone had a smile despite how busy they were.

My brother-in-law recommended this place. I was excited for the fresh fish. As you walk into the Fish Shop some fish is exposed for you to see. We all ordered different things. We all loved it except my mom. She was looking forward to eating fresh fish. The fish stew was way too spicy for her and for me, but it didn't say so anywhere. We ended up sharing some food with my mom because it is rare that she says she can't eat something. I had the sea bass, My side dishes came, but my sea bass they forgot to add it but they brought it ourlt pretty quickly. It was cooked perfectly. My daughter had 2 different tacos with the lobster and scallops made to perfection (she won't stop talking about how good they were). My husband isn't a fish person so he went with fish and chips. My brother-in-law's family had another variety and they were kind enough to let us taste their dishes.

Delicious chef’s choice special today, The mahi mahi taco with guacamole was sensational. The portion was just right with fresh fish and perfect flavors.

Great little fish joint. Our table has a good mix of dishes. We had a salmon plate, fish and chips, swordfish and lobster tacos, and a couple other things. All of the food tastes great and we were all satisfied with portion sizes and quality of the food. Unfortunately, I ended up with food poisoning. Can't be sure it was from this place, but that's the last meal I had before.

Solid 4 star place. You order at the counter and have a wide variety of seafood, seasoning/sauces, and sides. We tried the mahi mahi, snapper, and shrimp- all well seasoned and grilled. A little pricey but 1. It’s seafood and 2. They are large portions for the seafood plates- good sized piece of fish and the salad, fries, and onion rings came in huge portions. It’s seat yourself with picnic table, bar, and normal table seating. The second half of the restaurant is open air but they have nice heaters above you. They have a decent selection of wines and beers as well. Good for various size parties but like all order at the counter places, seating depends on the time of day you come and eat.

Food was good for sure. Visiting from out of town and I wanted to bring my family over to try something local, and this won out the competition based on others' reviews. The service was so-so as it felt more of a fast casual restaurant akin to a Panera than a sit down restaurant. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but that's what it's like. Overall, if I'm in the area again, I might go here again.

Marcus Choi

Great spot for fish tacos and plenty of options. Service was great and plenty of seating. The flavors were good but not amazing. The corn tortillas were thick and hearty but not fresh. The Taco Stand down the street serves authentic Mexican tacos and this place served more “gringo” versions. 6 pieces of shrimp seemed too little. Very flavorful.

We were brought to this restaurant by locals who visit it often. It certainly met expectations. As you enter, you walk up to the order counter, where there are about 10 choices of fish displayed in an iced chilled, glass cooler. Once you choose your preference and sides, your meal is brought to the table when ready. Service is very fast, food is well prepared, staff is courteous. I chose the halibut, grilled, with lemon butter. There are several options for sauces. The restaurant is dog friendly! Our group of 8 had no problem with seating. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food actually tasted really good!!! Especially the coleslaw, which was fresh and flavorful not mayo based but the fish and chips platter was disappointing. The portion of fish was tiny, more like a few fish sticks than a full filet, and it wasn’t cheap. Since it’s breaded, you’re getting even less actual fish than it looks like. For the price, I expected much better portions. I wouldn’t go back on purpose.

We didn't have a great experience at Encinitas Fish Shop, no other way to put it. I didn't like the long line/wait, my partner had to endure, just to place our food order. While she was doing that, I mosied over to the bar area. The person behind the counter was friendly & quick to serve me. She poured a perfect pour of my Societe Pupil IPA, which was the only beer on tap here, that interested me, from their 10 or so, draft beer choices. I then chose a table, out on the front patio, to sit. There are 2 fairly sizable dining rooms inside the restaurant, plus a long rectangular patio space, with quite a few tables, out front. It was nice, sunny afternoon, so I chose this outdoor area, to eat our lunch. I'd finished perhaps a third of my beer, when my partner arrived at our table. She was clearly frazzled at the long wait, to order. First food to come out, was a large order of their Onion Rings-an impressive mountain of plump, golden brown rings, which unfortunately, were hardly lukewarm. Also arriving, was a bowl of their Clam Chowder, my better half ordered. This soup was nowhere near hot, either. Both of these were sent back. The person delivering the food apologized &, told us he'd remedy the situation. It took quite awhile, to get the hot, improved versions of each dish. You'd think they'd put a rush on these, considering the circumstances. In the meantime, a server brought out my Fish & Chips. There were 4 finger-size round pieces of fish, that had a crisp breading, & were fried just right, with moist & tasty fish inside. The French fries, on the other hand, weren't hot, at all. So, 3 out of 4 foods we ordered, arrived to our table in an unappetizing, not-even-warm state. I didn't send the fries back, since the re-done Onion Rings & Clam Chowder showed up then, & I wanted to try the hot version of the rings. There was just too much breading on these attractive-looking onion rings. The texture, where the breading was the thickest, created an almost soggy-feeling bite. These rings, for the most part, weren't crisp at all, like onion rings are, at their very best. The Clam Chowder was at least hot this time, but nothing special, flavor-wise. The chowder needed more and larger pieces of clams, more spices, more flavor of the sea, & more & larger potato chunks, would've also improved this chowder. We had a disappointing lunch here. I'm not sure, if I'll come back.

Had some fish tacos and my friend had the sea bass plate. Her kid had the kids meal of coconut shrimp and we shared the onion rings. All and all, it was a fine meal. Nice staff. You order at the counter.

Microwave magic :/. My fish came cold the other two dishes were great I let them know they brought out the same fish microwaved zero flavor from veggies rice or fish. Would have preferred a refund or to bae it remain properly, but ahi was decent and chowder wasn’t bad.

Keep walking. Not fresh. Not good. So many better options. Cole slaw nasty, flavorless and limp like it was old af. Mahi sandwich was so dry, tough and overcooked. service is lame. Try harder.
