Best Fish Restaurants in Carmel Valley

Great food and atmosphere!!! We enjoyed our time.

Always a good meal here. The fish selection is great and all entrees are pretty reasonably priced. The scallops with polenta, asparagus and corn is very good. The blackened swordfish was also good. We like that we can ask for a different side dish for the entrees if desired. Server was fine. We always come here when we visit Carlsbad Village.

Tidal is my annual treat to myself for Halloween. I'm always amazed the staff remembers me by name and we have a great visit. Julia and Esteban were servers this evening and don't know for how many years now. I had what I think may be the best scallop crudo in San Diego, melt in your mouth scallops in a broth/sauce that just made the dish sing. And I hate to mention how good the Dubai chocolate tart was........

Took my family and mother in law for lunch. Between all of us, we had fish and chips, the cioppino, Sandabs, the calamari, muscles and clams and octopus. All of it was amazing almost too much to eat. Would not have a problem ordering any of that again. For drinks, we had passionfruit margarita, Negroni and their cherry old-fashioned. All drinks were great as well. Service was amazing and all staff that visited our table was engaging and kind. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back in the future.

Great value, really fresh fish, very welcoming staff. A lovely night out at reasonable cost.
