Established in 2003, King’s Fish House is Carlsbad’s choice for seafood.

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.

    We’ve been going to Kings since they opened. Love the remodel a few years back. It’s much more robust and solid. Rich textures. The food is delicious. Service was spot on. Not too much, not too little. Very relaxing. Our go to for a nice seafood dinner.

    The food is unique and truly amazing, I had been in a couple of months before and couldn't stop thinking about the Pork Porterhouse! Our server Kaden was fantastic and he added to the fun of the evening. He was so attentive and really heard what we like and had great food and wine suggestions. We were celebrating a special occasion and he made the celebration even more special! Jazzie at the bar made us delicious drinks and was so fun and engaging. We will come back just to sit at the bar and enjoy her company! Natalia was terrific, so welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed our conversation with her! Overall, a delicious, fun and memorable evening. We will be back very soon! Teryl Jackson
