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.

    Food was very good. Enjoyed the oysters, fish and chips and salmon. Ambience was great on the outside patio. Seated promptly. Service was rushed although it was not super crowded.

    We were there for lunch and had made a reservation on open table and got right in. Two of us had the grilled shrimp and scallops and they were delicious. What we really appreciated was the servers (Erica’s) effort at providing excellent service and accommodating our request on the sides as French Fries and salad were not listed as options but she provided them as requested. Over all very good food and great service in a fun environment.

    Usually a favorite of ours. Fish was a bit undercooked tonight. Service was marginal to disappointing. Bread and chowder was best part of dinner.

    Our family of 6 ( 4 children) and 2 adults enjoyed our meal outside on the patio. We had 4 kids meals, 2 appetizers ( edamame and calamari) and 2 adult entrees, 2 iced teas, plus desserts ( 4 kids sundaes which is just a squirt of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup on a scoop of ice cream) butter cake and a bread pudding. For $200 before tip. My kids wished the portions of the shrimp, salmon and fish and chips were a bit larger, they were still hungry after their meals. The Mac and cheese eater brought some home.. All in all a great experience for a birthday celebration.

    The reason why I scored low on the value is because we got such a tiny portion of a fish. It used to be a lot bigger and just shop that it was that small. I think maybe 4 ounces 4 to 5 ounces for dinner price of $34.

    The waiter spilled oily dressing on my pants. He brought club soda for me to clean them but the stains didn’t come out. No offer was made to take anything off the bill or give a coupon for next time. I’ve worked on the stains and don’t think they’ll come out.
