BEHIND EVERY GREAT SEAFOOD RESTAURANT IS A WAREHOUSE STOCKED WITH FRESH SEAFOOD.
The Fishery Restaurant & Market is located just a few blocks from the ocean in North Pacific Beach.
The restaurant menu reflects ‘coastal cuisine’ with a simple yet serious focus on the best our coastal fisheries and local farms have to offer. The passion that drives Chef Mike Reidy is evidenced by flavors that can only be achieved using ingredients at their peak of seasonality and freshness.
The Fishery was awarded the prestigious Award of Excellence for its Wine List from Wine Spectator in 2018- Present. Our wine list is inspired by the great wines of Europe and their American counterparts and we strive to showcase real, natural, food friendly-wines with a sense of place.

The Fishery Market showcases fresh fish, prepared seafood, salads, sauces and marinades.

    This was a wonderful dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious and our waitress Sarah was kind, welcoming, informative and professional. The portions were somewhat small and the price was high, but overall we had a great experience!

    The tataki was truly fabulous. The swordchop I felt could use a little more sauce or pizzazz. It was good, but tasted healthy probably because it was.

    Delicious food and excellent service. I would strongly recommend this delightful restaurant. I had the macadamia nut crusted halibut and it was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed eating in the patio. The inside is small and a bit loud.
