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.

    We arrived early for our reservation. They tried to seat us in an undesirable area of the outside space but were persuaded to seat us at a vacant ideally located booth. We are regular visitors to King's and invariably select the Alaskan Sand Dabs. They were up to the expected level of flavor and crispness. An enormous baked potato and spinach completed my meal. My companion enjoyed the same selection with carrots replacing spinach. Service was prompt and friendly. Most of the time noise from neighboring tables was unobtrusive. All in all an enjoyable meal.

    We had an excellent dinner. Our server was very attentive and especially kind and accommodating to our children. The food hit the spot. It exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be returning as I am already craving the food and wanting to try other items on the menu.

    Maine lobster was great, as were the sides. We did not have a booth in the area we requested in the reservation. The table was near two doors that let in cold air every time they were opened.

    Overall, a good experience. The only thing it lacks is a committed staff to the vision of the restaurant.
