Visiting Point Loma Seafoods in San Diego is somewhat akin to going to a fish market and having them making it into a meal for you right there. It’s very different than a typical seafood restaurant, since it truly is a fish market with big glass counters full of fish. They just offer cooked versions of the fish, too.
I have loved Point Loma Seafoods San Diego location for years. We typically stop here on our way into San Diego. My favourite thing to eat here is a decadent large shrimp cocktail. I’d take it outside to sit on the picnic benches. Years ago they also had a covered patio, in case it rained.
This time we brought a group with us. It had been way too long since we’d been here. I was so surprised at the “grown up” renovations, fancy parking scheme and additions that I thought I was in the wrong place!
Tables are available both outside and inside. There are even umbrellas on the tables outside. And a whole new indoor seating area.
Indeed, I was reassured when I walked in. Lovely saltwater scent and glass cases of fresh fish. They’ve added a sushi chef station now. All in all, it’s much the same, with improvements.
They have both hot and cold food, including a great clam chowder, fresh sourdough bread and homemade tartar sauce. The menu shows what’s fresh. And they have the freshest, best quality fish I’ve ever seen in a fish market.
You may be looking at that menu for a while. It’s tough to choose! They’ve also expanded their beer menu, and we were happy to see a great selection of craft beer.
So, we ordered the beer first.
Before or after dining, you can take a walk along the water. The salt air, the boats, and even the seagulls make for a slice of California we miss when we’re in Toronto.
