Encinitas Fish Shop

If you're looking for the ultimate fish taco and a family-friendly dining experience, Encinitas Fish Shop has it all. The variety is amazing. You can get your fish taco fix or create your own ultimate plate. Locals love Fish Shop's "build-your-own fish" menu that allows you to choose your fish (up to 12 choices including red snapper, salmon and jumbo shrimp), marinade (blackened seasoning, lemon butter, chipotle glaze), and then your style (sandwich, salad, taco or plate). Little ones will love the kids menu with items like popcorn shrimp and fish and chips. We love the outdoor and indoor patio, and low-key environment, which is great for families.

Insider's Tip: Encinitas Fish Shop is also dog friendly, so your fur kids aren't left out in the cold!
