Established in 2000, King’s Fish House is San Diego’s choice for seafood. Located in Mission Valley on Camino De La Reina, 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.

    King’s Fish House in Mission Valley delivered a solid seafood experience with a few standout moments. The food overall was good and exactly what you’d expect from a classic fish house, with no extreme highs or lows. The beer-battered fish stood out with a rich beer flavor in the crispy, golden batter, and the pieces were generously sized. The biggest surprise? The Brussels sprouts! Not something you’d typically expect at a seafood spot, but they were unexpectedly delicious. If you’re looking for a dependable seafood meal with a few pleasant twists, King’s Fish House is a great choice!

    The grilled whole fish was awesome but the cold platter was disappointing and expensive ( just previously frozen shellfish that had no flavor) Service was great and friendly.

    There is a wide variety of seafood, all prepared well with an abundance of sides to choose from, and delicious sourdough bread. The booths leave something to be desired- the tables should be movable to let guests in and out, and the fans make the restaurant drafty and uncomfortable- maybe the servers don’t notice because they’re moving back and forth through the dining room, getting exercise. The servers were wonderful- pleasant and attentive. The food was yummy- and that is why we come back here over and over.

    We have been going to King's Fish House for years. It is our go to place for fish that is always fresh and prepared well. Today I was there with an old friend for lunch--we specifically chose Kings because it is quiet enough to talk and we never feel like we are being rushed. There is a large parking lot and it is free. There is a large seafood selection including really good sushi rolls. (There are also some good non-fish options as well.) One of my favorite items is the trout almondine which comes with 2 sides. It is also possible to request that the fish and chips be done with panko crumbs instead of the beer batter--which is much lighter but still delicious. We shared the bread pudding for dessert which was plenty for 2 people.

    We frequently dine at Kings Fish House in Mission Valley and always enjoy our time there. The food is good, the wait staff is pleasant, and we enjoy the atmosphere. This time we ate on the patio with heat lamps, which was quieter than the inside. We were warm.
