Nestled within a restored mid-century warehouse in North Pacific Beach, The Fishery is exactly what it claims. As if you needed further proof, there’s even a premier seafood market housed at its center.

You would be hard-pressed to find fish fresher than the selection offered here and the open kitchen does wonders with this market-driven menu overseen by these talented chefs, who let the quality product shine bright. Think—ahi tuna poke prepped with just a hint of soy sauce, sesame seeds and chili. Stuffed with crisp-fried cod fillets, rice, beans, guacamole and served with homemade chips, the cod burrito makes a hearty and hefty meal—just right for the many surfers who come here after tackling the waves at nearby Tourmaline Canyon Surfing Park.
