Fresh from the sea
to your table.
Fresh and Local
The Fish Market serves only the freshest catches from waters near, far and everywhere in between. Seafood is our passion, freshness is our mission, and quality is our commitment.
Seafood
Our simple grilled fish made us famous, and that’s just a fraction of our menu. Find a familiar favorite, or let one of our “menu masters” offer recommendations based on your preferences for flavor, preparation and pairing.
Oysters
Freshly Shucked Oysters have been a part of our menu since opening in 1976, and that will never change. Check out our menus by location to view today's species and appellations. Oyster newcomer? Oysters Rockefeller might be the right first bite for you!
Scratch Desserts
Our kitchen teams do more than just savory - they bake too! Every dessert served is made in house from our own classic recipes, from key lime pie to chocolate mousse. Truly, save some room.
Retail Market
Every one of our restaurants has a retail market showcasing the seafood we serve on our menu. Order any menu item to go, shop for fresh fish to prepare at home, or grab a box of ready-to-eat smoked salmon. And don’t be shy about asking our experts for cooking tips!
Find Your
Fish Market
Whether you’re in Northern or Southern California, there’s a Fish Market nearby. Our focus on quality and service has helped us grow from a single restaurant in Palo Alto to four locations, including our waterfront flagship in Downtown San Diego.
Our Story
In 1976, a sport fisherman, business partner, boat captain and gourmet chef joined forces to open The Fish Market. With a pure love of seafood and a single goal in mind, they went on to build one of California’s most beloved seafood institutions.
Fishery & Retail Market
Because freshness is so important to us, we own and operate our own seafood processing and distribution facility, Farallon Fisheries. Our guests can take part in our commitment to high-quality seafood not only by dining with us, but also by shopping at our retail markets. Located in the front of each restaurant location, our skilled ‘marketeers’ assist guests in selecting seafood straight from local boats and fisheries.
Community
The success of our restaurants is dependent on the success of the communities in which we operate. We endeavor to give back year round by donating gift cards to or serving Fish Market classics at charity fundraisers, through our quarterly Giving Sips program and more.
