Fodor's Expert Review Fish Public
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
A cool blue-and-white interior decorated with lobster traps, fishing lures, and nets sets the tone for restaurateur Tracy Borkum’s seafood restaurant in Kensington, an historic upscale neighborhood perched above Mission Valley. Share a communal table or relax at banquette-backed or patio seating to enjoy the house sangria with briny appetizers like oysters, steamed mussels, or ceviche before moving on to bouillabaisse, lobster rolls, fish-and-chips or sharable whole-roasted fish. Grilled octopus, as a starter or in street tacos, is highly praised. Daily deals (except Saturday) bring bargain prices on popular menu items and drinks; check the restaurant’s Facebook page for passwords for Saturday night specials. For kids, there’s a “guppy” menu.
