Established in 2003, King’s Fish House is Carlsbad’s choice for seafood. Located just across from the Carlsbad Premium outlets and LEGOLAND, King’s Fish House features a large selection of fresh oysters, seasonal catches, sushi and live shellfish, including lobster and crab, on a menu that changes daily.

We’ve been in restaurants a little while – three generations, to be precise. A long time ago, we embarked on a road trip in search of the ultimate seafood experience. We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.

Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.

Come gather with us, celebrate, relax and enjoy a seafood dining experience of high quality, comfort, service and value.

The hostesses provided a friendly greeting and sat us immediately. Our server was attentive and acknowledged that we were celebrating a birthday. The fish was fresh and delicious. I would recommend the macadamia nut Halibut. It was delicious and my first time trying it.

During rush hour, the wait time for a table was 15 minutes, and the bar was slightly behind on getting drinks out. Our first visit during mid-week was faster service vs. Friday. Food came out "luke-warm" but was very tasty. Overall, my family and I give this restaurant a solid three stars.

We had Kevin as our server last night and he was such a nice person and was so attentive to our needs. My boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary and he gave us a dessert on the house. I come to kings quite often and I’ve never had a bad experience here !

Long time Customer of Kings in Carlsbad since 2002. This was the 1st time that we were disappointed. The Cocktails were very weak and I order a double. My son ordered a Royal Flush, it was all ice 2 sips and gone barely any alcohol. I always order the Sand Dabs because they are usually the best, this time overcooked and tough very unusual. My wife ordered the Seven Seas can’t spell the real name but it was like a Wrestling Match, trying to peal the shrimp and forget about cracking the crab. We left very disappointed and think our Kings run just ended.
