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 had trout and sea bass and both were excellent. Server was great and helpful. For our anniversary a free dessert was offered to share- we chose bread pudding and enjoyed every morsel! We went at 430 on a Monday and the restaurant was very quiet. It was a perfect anniversary meal. I think this will now be our "go to" restaurant!

    Met friends for late lunch. Good fish & chips, chowder and seafood salad. Consistently reliable although a bit pricey.

    From the moment we walked in, until the moment we left, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The KFH family sat us in our favorite booth, and one of our favorite servers (Alex) greeted us shortly after. Our wine was uncorked (there is no corkage fee at KFH), and we made our choices from an extensive menu. Great food, great service, and a great ambiance made the nighr.

    Overall good for a chain seafood restaurant. Kind of a cross between a sports bar and a fish house. We had Cioppino and macadamia crusted sea bass - both were good but not the freshest. Service was very good and price point was ok.
