Experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean combined with world-class dining on historic Cannery Row, just a short walk from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The newly renovated Fish Hopper, housed in an original sardine cannery building, offers spectacular views of the stunning Monterey Bay from every table, including our heated outdoor patio. The Fish Hopper specializes in fresh, sustainable seafood, certified Angus beef, pastas, and live shellfish. Our seafood is either locally caught or shipped in fresh daily, and our produce is locally grown in the Salinas Valley. Some favorites include fresh Monterey Bay abalone, macadamia-crusted halibut, our famous “Tomahawk Chop” bone-in rib eye, and fresh Dungeness crab. Start your meal with our award-winning clam chowder, and indulge in one of our many exotic cocktail creations or a selection from our extensive wine collection. While enjoying your delicious meal, you can watch sea otters at play and even catch a glimpse of the occasional whale.

    Great meal, even better service. Emily was terrific. Good portions, food was tasty and hot, except the soup, which was a bit less hot. Great views and ambience as well. Perfect evening.

    I had an awesome first-time experience here! The only dining option available to me on OT was an indoor table but I was actually seated on the heated porch area overlooking the water, which was amazing. Service was prompt and friendly, food was fresh and delicious.

    Went on a holiday late afternoon. Food was good but not great. Over priced for what you get. Noise level was high. There are too many other resturants in the area that are better so I won't be back.
