This place is still legit tasty meals and drinks here! The salmon plate is delicious, not overcooked and the garlic sauce is a home run! We ordered the fried clam strips as an appetizer which is delicious. My wife always gets the Yucatán shrimp burrito. Excellent service and very chill vibe here with sports on the TVs. Small shops but more than meets the eye here. There is ample parking available and easy to find. Enjoy! read more

Solana Beach Fish House is such a hidden gem! It has a casual, classic Florida seafood spot feel. Fresh fish, a laid-back atmosphere, and reasonable prices, especially for San Diego. My go-to is the fish combo kebabs with salmon and shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and kale. So good every time. And the garlic sauce? Absolutely worth the garlic breath, although maybe plan accordingly if you're on a date I've been here on dates, with my parents, with my kids, and with friends, and it's always a hit. My date recently ordered the fish and chips and said they were really good, and my mom always gets the fish tacos and loves them. You really can't go wrong! read more

My friend and I were craving some tacos after a day at the beach and these definitely hit the spot. I got the two grilled fish tacos with rice and beans; they were delicious and perfect portion to leave me feeling full but not overly stuffed. They have indoor and outdoor seating available and a parking lot out front with plenty of spots. The food came out relatively fast and we felt comfortable in our beach clothes as it's a pretty casual spot. Servers were friendly and attentive. read more

Solana Beach Fish House was exactly what I was hoping for - fresh, flavorful seafood in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the Cajun salmon sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion. I made a special request to add coleslaw on top, and every bite was outstanding. The salmon was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of Cajun seasoning, and the creamy slaw added a cool, crisp contrast that made the sandwich unforgettable. The wide-cut fries were hot, golden, and perfectly crisp. The restaurant has a casual beach-town vibe with nautical décor, wood accents, and a cozy dining room. Service was friendly and efficient. If you're in Solana Beach and looking for a delicious lunch with easy parking and a laid-back coastal feel, this place is absolutely worth the stop. read more

Me and my bestie were looking for some seafood but in a good old fashioned hole in the wall kinda place. This place is it. They have a very diverse menu. I was super excited that I could choose from so many seafood options. Its hard to find affordable seafood in San Diego County. We went during a slow hour, on purpose. Not a fan of fighting crowds to eat. They were very inviting, the restaurant was clean. I ordered a seafood combo plate and bestie ordered the Paella. We both agreed the flavors were perfect. Not overly spiced, good sized portions. It reminded me of a place back home and was a little nostalgic. It was exactly what we were looking for. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Came here after a day at the beach with my husband and baby. My husband got the superfood salad and I got the grilled fish sandwich. Love the local vibe inside. There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to come back to try more read more

If you are remotely a fish fan, get here now! Ambiance is nice and relaxing. Love that there is a front patio if you want that coastal breeze. Or watch the Padres play inside while you're sipping down Voodoo Ranger IPA Hazy Ale! Had their chips and salsa to start. Chips made fresh to order and salsa was tasty! For dinner went with the Baja Tacos plate. Was not disappointed that's for sure. Tacos had right amount of all the trimmings, crisp on the fish was perfect. I tried a bite of my wife's blackened red snapper,,, YUMMY! Tie up the dingy and get here! Waitress was pleasant and served us with a beautiful smile. Noticed several patrons are regulars and that's how you know you're at a great spot! Looking forward to a return soon so I can go for the clam chowda'! read more

What a nice find in Solana Beach. This is a friendly, casual and welcoming local eatery that delivers big on food, service and fresh preparation. Clam Chowder is a nice change from the board white potato soup that is so common. The Fish Tacos come with a welcome spice. And, it's always a treat to find crispy clam strips on the menu! Fish & Chips and even chicken pasta (for non-fish eaters) were all well prepared. Guys who run the place are so polite and gave us non-locals a kind welcome. read more

Don't skip it, very lowkey spot with high quality food!! We dined in, it was a sleepy Saturday afternoon with no other diners but plenty of people coming and going picking up their food. Every member of our party was raving about their meal, this isn't generic Sysco slop. Thoughtfully prepared and deliciously hot and fresh, the taco salad was absolutely humongous and the fish and chips were noted to be very moist! read more

Back to give Solana Beach Fish House another go! I still feel this is a local SB seafood shop that has good hearty food. Many local residents dine here. Nothing fancy and the portion sizes are good. Service was great and you can feel the positive energy of the customers. Ambiance is a fisherman's cave! Seafood fish cioppino stew has a hearty quantity of seafood, including one clam, one shrimp and one mussel. I found myself picking out all the seafood and leaving the broth. The Surf and Turf burrito came with white rice and beans. I really enjoyed the simplicity of this dish. read more

Very friendly staff, has a local bar setting. Very friendly staff. Very delicious food!! I had a variety of things bad they were all very tasty. I was impressed with the fried oysters!

Updating my review. The portion size is 70% of what it should be for the fish entrees. The fish portion is much too small. Plenty of delicious steak fries though!! The blackened salmon tacos are out of this world and a fair portion size! Make sure you ask for the fish sauce. Best fish accompaniment around town in my opinion. read more

We stopped here for a fish taco lunch and were surprised to see Rolled Fish Tacos on the lunch menu. Is this something new in town? We eat a lot of fish tacos and I've never seen rolled ones on a menu before today. We gave them a try and really enjoyed them. The fish was a combination of 3, one of which was salmon. (And I think one was haddock?) We ordered them with guacamole, which was delicious, but they didn't need it. The salsa and sour cream that are standard would have been enough. A nice little restaurant that was doing a bustling lunch business on a Thursday. Service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. It was our first visit but we'll definitely return. read more

I came to this place expecting to have a decent meal, but boy was I suprised with how good it was. I got the paella which was loaded with fresh seafood and delicious rice. Also I tried the fish and chips along with the Cajun fish tacos and both were also very good. This place had good vibes and was very easy and tasty for a week night meal. read more

Best fish and chips and ceviche I've ever had and I've tried it up and down the west and east coast, the fish and shrimp batter was light crispy and airy very comparable to the Gordon Ramsey fish and chip batter, ceviche was super fresh, meat heavy and substantial, my kids had the salmon and rice and the noodles and both dishes were a good size for the price, we sat outside and it was just perfect! Great service, quick and basically exactly what you want when you're craving a coastal style seafood place. read more

The 3 stars are for the server and food. I moved to Solana almost a year ago and always come in for lunch and have the same server. She gives the best service, is always very kind and even when it's super busy we're always taken care of. A coworker of hers started screaming at her in the restaurant in front of many other tables, and it really ruined the dining experience. Not sure if he is the owner but I've never seen him before. The food is amazing, but the environment made me so uncomfortable I don't think I'll be back. My husband and I are crazy about the fish and chips and tacos, but I don't think I can support a restaurant where an owner yells at a waitress where several tables can hear her getting berated. I leave this review in hopes that the owner keeps the dining experience pleasant so we can return. read more

Stopped in after long drive back from Tahoe. Place was busy on presidents weekend but we didn't mind waiting. I finally tried the salmon kabobs and wow! Now I can't stop talking about them and can't wait to go back. If you are in the area and want good fish come here. You can also order fish to go, market style on their board. I prefer this place over other nearby restaurants in Solana for fish. read more

Not bad, not great. I came here today because Fish 101 was closed. I got the fish and chips. The fish had a nice crispy coating, but was pretty flavorless. The chips were a little dry and plain. Service was great, the food came out quickly, and the ambience was casual but clean. Parking was easy once maps took me through the strip mall maze, and it was conveniently close to other nearby shopping areas. Okay for a quick bite if you're in a hurry but it didn't make it on my list of top fish and chips spots of San Diego. read more

I can't believe I'm leaving this review. I called earlier in the day to see if they'd be open on New Year's Eve. I called in and this wonderful place that I've dined at for 12 years was so difficult. And I didn't understand. Argumentative didn't know a simple fish and chips order. I couldn't believe I was calling the Fish House. 91-year-old mom didn't get her New Year's Eve fish and chips. I have never had anything but incredible service from this place. The young gentleman was obviously knew but wow, I won't even get into it. Train your people you lost a great customer. read more

Good experience here and good vibes. Came in on a Thursday afternoon randomly because we were in the area. Lots of tables for a smaller-sized front of house, good seating arrangement. We had the grilled swordfish plate and the grilled halibut plate. Both were fresh and seasoned well. Not shy on the spices and herbs here! Brussels as a side is a must do. Overall very healthy and good size portions. Pricing was reasonable at an average of $25 for a grilled seafood plate with two sides. The server was really nice and attentive. She wasn't fake-nice either, more like, down-to-earth nice. Made the experience that much better. Very chill vibes. read more

Friendly staff. Decent ambience. Pricing was what you'd expect by the beach. However, the portion size of the fish inside my burrito was terrible. It was like 1/10 of the burrito. Just too small and unmemorable. For that reason, I deducted a star. It should actually be two stars but.. Hopefully some of their other dishes include more of the main item. read more

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Customer service really makes a difference and this is one of those places that had great service! The host/waitress was super friendly and kept checking up on us. Another waiter that came out with our food was also helpful and friendly. We sat outdoor in the patio. And stopped by here before taking the train home. Because we were outside, a family was sitting nearby with their dog and it kept barking every time the waiter came out. This is why allowing dogs is not always great (some owners cannot control their dogs). I felt bad for the waiter having to put up with that too (even though the owners claimed the dog is friendly and won't bite. Mhmm). I ordered the fish n chips (2 piece cod cause dang errathang is expensive. Mine was $16 something!) and it was delicious!! The coleslaw was disappointing (i agree with another reviewer, it wasn't that tasty), the fish was amazingly crispy outside and tender inside and no strong fish taste, and the fries were yummy! There are plenty of hot sauces to choose from as well (Tabasco, El Chalupa, and Jalisco) on the table. My husband ordered the clam chowder and it surprisingly has dill in it but tasted different in a good way. I also tried a few bites of his salmon burger and it was delicious!! It's pricey but I would come back because the food was good and service was amazing (and wait for food didn't take long)! read more
