My mom and I really loved the food here. We had the dozen oysters to start! They were fresh and slightly sweet The track taco was super yummy. This is their award winning taco! I enjoyed the big, juicy pieces of shrimp and the mango slaw on top. Would definitely get this one again! We also shared the fish and chips - beer battered cod. I liked how the breading wasn't thick and it remained crispy!! Also, it didn't feel heavy or too oily at all. The fish inside was moist. The coleslaw that came with it was good too and it was a little sweet. I didn't like the tartar sauce that much and honestly didn't feel like the fish needed it because it already had good flavor. Service was great! The person who took our order was very nice. Very casual place! Can't wait to come back and try other items read more

Blue Water - Oysters On The 1/2 Shell - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, and while I understand it was late, the service was completely dismissive. There was still a significant line, but when we finally got to the front, the waitress taking our order wouldn't even look at us. She spent a good portion of our "turn" chatting with another waitress before finally turning to us--still with zero eye contact. We ordered a cioppino, a clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, fish and chips, and a dozen oysters. I noticed she shouted the soup orders back to the kitchen but didn't say a word about the fish and chips. When I specifically asked her if she got the fish and chips, she said "yes," took my card, and sent us to a table. Our soups and oysters arrived after 15 minutes, but another 30 minutes passed with no sign of the rest of the meal. When I followed up with the same waitress to check on the status, she looked at the order and flatly told me there were no fish and chips on there. By that point, the restaurant was already closing. She asked if I still wanted them, but after waiting that long and dealing with that level of indifference, I just said no. Extremely disappointing experience. If you're going to stay open for customers, you should at least provide basic communication and hospitality. I won't be coming back. read more

Blue Water is a great spot when craving seafood. They are fresh plenty of selections .When we visit this place we always get our favorites, Classic Cioppino , and Sauteed Mussels and Clams. Usually, with these 2 bowls of delicious seafood, we also get their Fried Calamari but this time my Wife wanted to try their Homemade New England Clam Chowder Bread Bowl, and she also loves their Bread Chowder. This Blue water in this location never disappoints us, they are generous in portion, and the actual seafood sizes are decent , the food is always good. Staff are also always around to clean the tables or assist customers. Parking on Side streets, some are metered some are not and there's a small portion close by that is a paid parking . read more

The food was good. The poke was very fresh and the tacos were large enough that 2 were filling. The only issue was the wait staff kept moving us after telling is where to sit. I would classify it as "kindly being very bossy " probably would not return but worth a try once read more

1st time and I will be back. Lots of seafood choices to eat there or take with you to go. It's a market and a restaurant. Menu mainly seafood. Kids menu had chicken strips. The place is busy...but that is because it is so good. Worth waiting. Shrimp tacos were filling and so good and had lots of fresh toppings, cheese, avocado, sour cream, carrots which I was skeptical about but now I get it. Unique twist of flavors but delicious so just go with it! All food is made to order. There was also a sign with lots of sauces and garlic butters and lemons to add to your fish. Grouper tacos were so good. Super juicy and moist! No fountain drinks so I just bought an Arizona iced team. There is a fridge near the menus with sodas. There is also a sign with their beer selections. Staff brings you your food and they all were smiling! Which I was impressed with because it was busy! I found a picture on yelp and that is how I ordered! lol It is a busy place, good music playing but a bit on the louder side but good energy! Casual Place. Parking is a bit tough but we found a spot up the block. read more

Dear diary Had been waiting a while to try this place. It was busier than I expected on a Sunday morning. The vibe was super lively and upbeat. Parking is a hassle though, we had to park two blocks away so get there early if you want to park closer. We started with the calm chowder which was more watery than what I like but the flavor was good. Then we had the crab and medium shrimp which was *chef's kiss*. We finished with the red snapper and the Hawaiian wahoo tacos. Those were bigger than you think. Overall the wait was worth the trip there! You should definitely give it a shot. read more

Had a seafood craving so me and my girlfriend decided to give this place a try. Came around lunch time and it was very busy. Line was out the door but it went by pretty fast. You order at the counter and they provide a table for you to sit at. Indoor seating is limited but they have more tables outside. Place was clean despite the crowd of people inside and the staff were very patient and friendly. For food we ordered oysters, clam chowder, tacos, and a shrimp/crab cocktail. Paired everything with a nice barrio lager beer. Oysters were fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend getting a few to start of your meal. The clam chowder was a little on the salty side but not overwhelming. I would still order it again. The shrimp and crab cocktail was my favorite thing we ordered. The shrimp were big and the crab meat was sweet. Fish tacos were decent but nothing crazy. A bit dry so I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall I believe this place is worth coming back. Fresh seafood and great staff. read more

Come to San Diego for great finds on seafood. I met a friend for lunch and he recommended this spot. It is very popular, so plan to wait patiently or arrive after peak lunch or dinner times. Fortunately, we were able to get a corner table on the inside. I had a bowl of Cioppino, it came with a generous portion of mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp and red snapper in a delicious & savory broth with toasted sourdough bread. I was able to take half home for the next day, it's a winner and worth 5 stars for this meal alone! I also ordered a blackened salmon sandwich to go . It was on a French roll and had two slices of salmon on lettuce, tomato, red onions, with tartar sauce. My friend had grilled octopus with a side salad, he shared a portion with me. It was tender, meaty, and seasoned well. Menu highlights: Fried Calamari, Beer-battered fish tacos, Ahi Tuna, Shrimp tacos, Tuna Melt, Grilled fish tacos, Ceviche, Clam Chowder, Chicken tacos (kids menu item). Marinade choices: Blackened, Bronzed (Blackened with brown sugar), Chipotle, Garlic butter, Lemon butter, and Teriyaki. To the right of the entrance is the seafood market, sold by the pound to take home and cook: Ahi Tuna, Halibut, Mahi Mahi, Scallops, Shrimp, Pacific Snapper. Swordfish, and Yellowtail. Bookmark this spot to dine in or take-out. Note, they do not have parking, drive around the block for street parking only. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

I've been coming to Blue Water for over a decade and they never disappoint. The food is flavorful and the seafood is incredibly fresh. When you enter the restaurant, walk up, grab a menu, and check everything out while you wait in line. This way you know what you want when it's time to order. This place gets busy but they operate efficiently so help them help you by being ready! Blue Water is a great place to stop for fresh, local seafood. They have you covered if you're hungry right now or you're having people over for taco Tuesday. They also have a super clean restaurant. Everyone is always busy cleaning or running food. 10/10 recommendation. read more

I have passed by this Blue Water location in the Middletown neighborhood next to the highway numerous times before stopping by recently for dinner. The parking spaces in the adjacent lot seemed to be all dedicated to the neighboring businesses so I found a curbside spot along India St. A large parklet in front of the suite had several tables set up for al fresco dining, but it was empty during my visit. Everyone elected to sit inside the main dining room or in the covered courtyard next to it. There were a couple of refrigerated glass cases to the left when you walked in. It was the market side of the business with lots of fresh seafood on display. I didn't see any customers make purchases in that area as all of us decided to line up to order food/drink from the service counter. A two-sided menu sheet listed plenty of choices. Creating your own grilled fish plate was the featured entry. Sandwiches, salads, tacos, soups, sashimi, seafood cocktails, appetizers, and specials (entrees) were the other categories. I picked a cup of the Homemade Hearty Seafood Soup and the Classic Cioppino for my meal. After paying at the register, a numbered sign was given to me which I took to a table in the courtyard. Within 15 minutes, both items were delivered by a worker. The soup was a tomato-based broth with assorted seafood and vegetables. I believe some type of white fish was the main protein of which there were several chunks in the cup. It was warm and hearty as described. The cashier told me the kitchen was running low on scallops. They would supplement the cioppino with additional clams and mussels in place of the scallops. Shrimp and red snapper were the other components in the bowl of marinara sauce. Three pieces of toasted sourdough came with the order. There were at least a dozen mussels and nearly as many clams. I did notice a few scallops in the mix along with about four pieces each of shrimp and red snapper. For $30, it was a fair price for cioppino given the amount of seafood. I have eaten versions that cost 20 percent more with 20 percent fewer ingredients. read more

After our plane landed in San Diego, even before taking my phone off airplane mode, I had a hankering for seafood! Luckily, I found an old bookmark for Blue Water located just on the other side of the highway from the rent-a-car garage and even got a parking spot right in front of the restaurant! When we walked in, I had a déja vu moment. I recognized the blue awnings, the wall mounted Mahi Mahi & Yellowfin Tuna and the fresh fish in the refrigerated case and realized that we had been here back in 2011 (pre-Yelp Elite), when we came to SD for Comic-Con! We queued up to order our food and the nice server managing the dining room directed us to a table out in the patio area. When your food is ready, the server homes in on your table number stand to deliver the goods. We started by sharing a hearty bowl of thick New England Clam Chowder and the taste brought me 2500 miles back to New England with chunks of clams & potatoes. The seared Black Pepper & Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna was a great tasty appetizer, but could have been an entree because it came with a nice bowl of rice. We also had an assorted trio of seafood tacos, which were sizable enough for the wife & I to share, with a Beer Battered Cod and another with Fried Scallops. The third Scallop & Shrimp Track Taco was big enough to come on its own plate, all dressed up in crema, slaw, onions & avocado. I was jealous of the table next to us because they had 2 gigantic bowls of mussels and the couple were unabashedly slurping up the juicy mollusks with wine & tomato sauce from the shells. I'm drooling just thinking about it, so I gotta make my way back to San Diego really soon! read more

Our family goes here on occasion when we want seafood because they have quite the selection. The portions are enormous! Real bang for your buck in my opinion. I would go early since there's usually a line out the door and parking might be a hassle. The service was quick. They have a display case where if you wanted to, you could buy your seafood by the pound and cook it at home. There's a few seating areas but not much since it's a small place. It could get loud since the freeway is right there. Definitely a must try read more

Stopped by with my wife and sister-in-law for a quick bite and some beers, and it turned out to be a solid choice. The seafood was fresh and well prepared. As someone who's picky about oysters, I was happy to find that they were fresh and tasted great. The fried calamari was crispy and not greasy, and the grilled shrimp was flavorful and nicely cooked. Nothing overcomplicated--just good, fresh seafood done right. Definitely planning to come back to try more items on the menu. read more

One of my favorite places for fish and chips! You get a choice of snapper or cod for fish and chips. My friend usually orders the clam chowder which is delicious! Just tried their calamari the other night and it is lightly fried and perfect since I'm not a big tentacle fan Service is always great and the price is perfect for what I want. It can get pretty crowded sometimes, but I tried to go there when I know there will be less people. read more

This place is always a 5/5. Always come expecting a line, but always come expecting it to be worth the wait. The fish is so fresh. It's always a challenge choosing what to get, so going with a group who likes to share is a plus. I've been here a number of times, but this was my first time trying mussels and clams here. They were delicious and the broth they came in was divine - I couldn't drank it! I always opt for the plates so I can really enjoy the fish separate from other toppings and sauces. It's a home run every time! Highly recommend to any and all seafood lovers! read more

Blue Water is a seafood restaurant and market that's been here for over 20 years. It's located on India St and less than a block away from El Indio the mexican restaurant. Only limited street parking. Earlier this week, after picking up some tacos from El Indio for Fendi I decided to walked over and check out Blue Water. The dining room and outdoor patio were crowded with diners. I saw several dishes pass by mostly fish tacos and fish and chips, so on a whim, that's what I ordered; Fish and Chip which is the signature dish which is fresh as gets high turnover. The cashier was busy multitasking, delivering food to diners and chatting with the kitchen staff, meanwhile the line to order behind me grew longer. This older female cashier finally realized the long line of customers and took my order immediately, would have been nice if she was cordial... I paid and was given a numbered post and my food would be brought to me. I sat outside the umbrella shaded patio, on the wooden benches. The outdoor area was kept tidy and clean by the staff. Shortly thereafter my plate was presented and it looked appealing in all its fried glory. I grew to love fish and chips especially after visiting London a few times and having their version of fish and chips with mushy peas and malt vinegar which is how most British pubs serves it was really 'Bloody Good,' as the Brit's would say lol Here, no mushy peas, but there's malt vinegar on the table if that's your preference. My plate had three sizable fried cod, criss cross cut fries, a small cup of a dill tasting white sauce and cole slaw, which I would order a larger bowl of next time. The fish tasted as though it had been marinated in brine with vinegar so the addition of malt vinegar wasn't necessary unless you wanted more vinegar taste. Everything was scrumptious and more than I can eat, I ended up boxing it taking it togo. The staff servers of younger ladies were super nice and helpful. I chatted with one a little and told her it was my first time visit. I usually have fish and chips at Mitch's or Ketch in Point Loma with a view of the marina. Because this restaurant doesn't have a view of the marina or any body of water, I wasn't compelled to visit. But if I'm going to visit the other restaurants nearby I will come here now, knowing the food is good. I didn't get a chance to look at their seafood market display but I did see people ordering from there and had it grilled, all looked really good. Would like to try other food from the menu so I plan on returning. Recommend read more

Thank you to the staff for being so friendly! We accidentally ordered way too much food: 5 codfish tacos, mussels and clams, a dozen oysters, the New England clam chowder bowl, medium shrimp cocktail, calamari, garlic bread, and 3 pacificos - came out to about $150 in total. Pretty much everything came out fantastic. The slaw on the tacos was delish, oysters and cocktail were fresh, and the chowder was nice and hearty. The only thing that could've been different was the mussels and clams, as the broth was a little lacking in flavor, but was fixed with a little more lemon juice and some soy sauce. Everything came out really quickly - under 15 minutes - which we weren't complaining about at all. The menu is great - lots a variety, and overall a nice place to hang out with friends! read more

I've had Blue Water on my list to try in SD for years and I finally got the chance to check them out! So glad I finally made it in. The line here can get pretty long, but what I appreciate that they will find a table for you when you are ordering at the front. No need to have people in your group save a table. I ordered a halibut taco, fried scallop taco and some clam chowder. Everything was delicious and super fresh! The tacos are big so 1-2 is plenty for a meal. Parking can be a bit tricky but with enough effort you should be able to find a street spot. Can't wait to come back! read more

The fish tacos here are fantastic! You order at the counter and then sit at a table of your choice. When we came at around 3pm there was still a huge line, which speaks to the popularity of this place. I got two tacos, one fried cod and one grilled snapper. For $20 for two tacos I had high expectations, and this spot definitely delivered. The tacos were MASSIVE - each one was basically the size of two normal tacos so I was definitely full after this. The cod was perfectly fried and the snapper was also well cooked, and they were topped with a bunch of cabbage and pico. My favorite part, and what tied it all together, was the sauce that came with it - it was tangy, fresh, and so so good! I would highly recommend this spot if you're looking for some fish tacos! They're not your typical street tacos, but definitely something more hearty and unique. read more

We used to come here when we vacationed in SD to get fresh fish. We are back after over 10 years and it is still amazing. I had the local halibut tacos and it was delicious. The fish portion is huge (this is not your beer battered fish taco where there is more batter than fish). The fish is super fresh, moist, flavorful. The toppings add crunch (cabbage), flavor (tomatoes, onion), and creaminess. It is the BEST FISH TACO! Still love the old school styling of restaurant: wooden tables and and paneling trim, light, bright, clean. read more

This little seafood spot has been a favorite of my family for over 20 years. The seafood is always fresh and delicious. I really enjoy going here because it caters to the whole family's dietary needs. There are salads, sushi, sandwiches, plates. You choose how you want it cooked. I recently went back for their fish tacos and calamari tacos. I only have a photo of the fish taco- my son took my other taco before I could snap a picture. The store also has a fresh seafood counter for you to purchase, take home and make it yourself. The service is great. This is a walk up and order, take your number kind of place. Very casual. There is seating inside, on en enclosed patio, or after Covid a patio in front of the store was added. They do ask for only service animals on the patio. There is typically a line out the door, so if you know what you want order ahead. You can still eat there. Our family will continue to come back for many year. read more

Visiting the area. My sister in law had been wanting to try this place for some time. Parking is tricky. If you're lucky there is free street parking. Don't park in the small lot by the restaurant or you could get towed. Seating outside on the patio as your walk in. You order first before getting your seat. There is a counter to purchase fresh sea food or you get in line to put in a order. Since it was our first time we had a few questions. The woman behind the counter was quick and helpful. We decided to get the daily specials in taco form. I got the fresh Loch etive steelhead taco and the beer battered scallops taco. The Tacos come topped with cabbage, tomato, cheese on flour tortilla. They were bigger than street tacos. The flavor of the steelhead was really good. You get to pick the flavor of the fish. The beer batter scallops hit the spot. My sister in law got the grilled Spanish octopus taco, the last grouper taco and a beer batter scallops taco. You're given a number and the food came out pretty quick. They have heaters on the patio and deck if you want. Otherwise the seating is limited inside. 100% would be back to try more. Some of the plates that came out while we were there were amazing looking. We both left full and happy. read more

We stop in here everytime we are in San Diego. The seafood is so fresh. They offer a variety of fish, and other seafood choices....usually in tacos or salad. Then, you can pick the sauce for your fish. In my pictures, I always have 3 fish tacos and we share the calamari. There's no tentacles. Both dishes are delicious. When you walk into Blue Water, you definitely can smell the fish. Wait in line and place your order at the counter. They will give you a number and then you can find a seat.

Still absolutely love this place when we're in town. Staff is so friendly and the food is still amazing and fresh. Thank you, Sean, for remembering us and welcoming us back! I still get the cod taco every time. My favorite fish taco anywhere. The new addition to our usual repertoire of seafood is the Bourbon Butter Scallops. We got it by accident once but now we're hooked. Perfect grilled jumbo scallops paired with an amazing rich butter sauce that turns the rice into magic. Comes with a large side salad as well. The sweet, tasty vinaigrette dressing really helps cut the butter. Still highly recommended is the cioppino which is so packed with fish, shrimp, clams, and mussels in an amazing tomato broth. Also comes with grilled bread for dipping. If we're lucky, we get the chance to eat here twice in one trip and often take a bunch of food and fresh sashimi back home to LA. Do note that you're supposed to order first and they'll make sure you get you a seat. Some folks just try to hold tables first and we saw some using the race card to harass the staff into getting their way. Such a shame. read more

Blue Water - Spanish Octopus Tacos and Bronzed Salmon Fish Tacos - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

I don't understand why there was such a long, disorganized line when they clearly could have had another person taking orders to keep things moving. When the line gets that long, it would be helpful to have extra staff assisting so customers can be seated quickly and wait comfortably for their food to be brought out or called. My experience with the customer service was unfortunately the worst. The host asked where we wanted to sit, and after we chose a table inside, Suddenly, an elderly gentleman wearing a leg brace was occupying the seat, waiting for his family.. It seemed like he was essentially in line because there was no designated seating for someone with a disability. The host came back and told us she didn't have the heart to ask him to move. This upset me because I am also disabled, although my disability isn't visible. Instead of accommodating my needs, she chose to avoid conflict by not handling the situation professionally. She could have simply asked the gentleman to move to another table, which wouldn't have been a big deal. As a host responsible for seating, she really didn't do her job well. Because of this, I was seated outside -- which I didn't want to do, especially since it was cold and the patio environment triggers panic attacks for me due to the air. On top of that, I have a permanent neck injury with metal in my neck (ACDF surgery). The elderly gentleman's leg brace was temporary, yet I was the one who ended up inconvenienced. Overall, their customer service was lacking, and the staff seemed unwilling to step up. The food was decent but nothing special. I ordered the lemon garlic butter yellowtail; the jasmine rice was okay, and the salad didn't seem very fresh. I'd rate the food a 5 out of 10 and the customer service a 3 out of 10. They definitely need to improve both service and food quality. Even fast-food chains like Chick-fil-A manage long lines well by having multiple employees jump in to take orders quickly, which helps speed things up. Hopefully, this place works on these issues -- maybe I'll give it another chance when they improve. read more

Blue Water - Yellowtail lemon garlic butter with jasmine rice and salad with avocado. Overall okay taste , not the best! - Seafood Near Me - San Diego, California

We discovered this place over two years ago when visiting SD for the first time. We recently visited again and even though we were only in SD for 5 days, we ate there twice. We stopped by for dinner on a cold and rainy Friday a week ago. Parking can be difficult but we found something not too far away and ran in the rain. The line wasn't too long but I didn't see any open tables. The only thing I dislike about this restaurant is the seating policy. You wait in line to order and they you hope a table opens up. No saving a table before you've ordered. I was really afraid we'd have to get it to go but we get lucky at the last minute. In fact they waited to take our order until they saw a table finishing up. My honey ordered the halibut fried fish sandwich and a side of coleslaw. I love their clams and mussels and that was my plan but I'd eaten it earlier in the week at their other location (yes, we discovered on this trip that they have 2 locations) so I decided on the cioppino. Food didn't take too long but OMG when it arrived I was so excited. The cioppino was huge and looked SO good. I dug right in dipping the toast in the broth. The broth had a pretty mild taste. I didn't want to fill up on toast so I only ate one piece. All of the seafood was so good and cooked to perfection. My only wish was that it had more scallops. I think I only had 2. My honey's fish was very good but be careful, he found some bones in it. Bread was nice and soft and chewy. You get a good portion of cole slaw and it was nice and creamy. Anyway, I dream about this place when I'm home in Hawaii and it will always be a go to when we find ourselves in SD. read more
