For the most part food was very good. Rice was hard and tasteless, veggies were without seasoning yuck. When I talked to the management about the rice I was told it was supposed to be that way. YUCK!! So stay away from the rice and ask for the veggies to be properly seasoned.

Delicious food! We tried a variety of tacos and they were all amazing. Highly recommend, the Scallops and shrimp. Pleasantly surprised by the Yellowtail, it is now one of our top choices. The staff were so nice and helpful. Can't wait to come back!

Food was good, fish in fish taco was a little dry. The oysters were really good! Fast service and staff are friendly.

Great tasting tacos; they are stuffed with extras, so 2 of them was about right for me. I enjoyed the lax atmosphere of ordering and then seating down.

Yellow tail sandwich was excellent, comes with fries. Their house chowder is damn good. Better layers of taste and texture, larger portion and better price point than other popular places a couple blocks away, trust me on this one.

My wife and I had lunch today at Point Loma Fish Shop. A sign inside states that they were not a fast-food restaurant because all orders were made fresh. I thought there would be a bit of a wait time but that was not the case. Our fish dishes were delicious.

being generous with 3 stars. leaning towards 2.5. significantly hit & miss. One meal was very enjoyable and one was distinctly poor bordering on awful. Unique menu style here where about 10 or 12 different types of fish are available in multiple cooking/preparation options. Grilled, sandwiches, tacos, salads, plates. Also fried fish and chips and different styles of seafood soups. The grilled fish is available with about 8 different marinades or seasonings. The side choices are pretty standard like fries, rings, salad, coleslaw, rice, etc. You pick a fish, a style, and a side on what they call the 1,2,3 Fish menu. You can also pick some unique items from the Fish Shop Favorites list. After pondering the menu options my wife and I went different directions with our choices. She went with items from the More Fish Dishes section-a crab cake, cup of clam chowder, and side of coleslaw. My choices were a grilled fish taco with halibut, the TKO taco-mahi, Fish Shop seasoning, cilantro sauce, and tropical salsa. And I have a thing for ceviche so I added a small cup of mahi ceviche with chips. Last item was an order of onion rings.
The items my DW was served were the extreme miss’s here tonight. And she is not by any means a picky eater. Rarely even mentions issues. But her crabcake (made with snow crab I believe) had no flavor, seafood or other wise and was served luke warm. Her slaw was an unpleasant wilted mess not worth the added cost at all, and her chowder had minimal clams and tasted like a floury roux more than anything else. We also felt like our onion rings were over cooked and most likely fried in oil that should have been changed some time ago.
It was a jarring contrast when I began to eat my menu selections. Both tacos had the option of corn or flour tortillas which I welcomed since flour is my preference but is available less often. The simple grilled halibut taco was delicious with cabbage, pico, mixed cheese, and cilantro sauce. Fish was piping hot and moist. The TKO taco’s mahi as well was grilled perfectly and the seasoning along with other toppings melded into a wonderful flavor profile. Totally enjoyed both of them. The ceviche was outstanding. The mahi was cured in lemon juice, providing a brightness and acidity to every bite but was perfect with the fish. And the additional ingredients, onions, peppers, and I believe cucumber still held their flavor alongside the fish. Served with warm chips, this was crazy good. And the portion for the price was outstanding. Very full and satisfied after finishing my meal.
So, on our visit it seems the way to go for a good meal was stick more towards the fresh fish side of the offerings rather than the fried/soup/side options. Rare (at least for us) to find such a difference in satisfaction between two meals. Unfortunately this left us disappointed despite the dishes enjoyed.

I am very appreciative and give good reviews when it's due, but I cannot do that for this one. I ordered crab cakes and when I took a bite, it was so salty. I told the waiter about it and all he did was go to the cook to tell them. When he came back he said the cook did not put salt in it. Did not even offer to change my order so I just did not eat it and it was pricey, $13 for one salty crab cake. I won't go back there again.
