We stayed in Carlsbad and wanted a local restaurant for dinner. I found this on Trip Advisor and we decided that seafood sounded good. This restaurant was easy to find.

Excellent seafood, good wine selection, and they will prepare special request items. Kings Fish House was recommended by my hotel and I was not disappointed. Servers are attentive to details. The outside dining area is a very pleasant and relaxing place to eat.

Yummy, seafood sampler and an order of clams. Usually not a fan of sour dough bread, but this was so good, we even ordered several loaves togo. We had great table service by Samantha.

This restaurant is good, but I think it's a little pricey for what you get. There are better seafood restaurants in the area, but it's a good place to go every so often.
