Jay's Gourmet Seafood & Pizza in Carlsbad has served Italian-seafood crossover cooking from the corner of Carlsbad Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive since 1990. The cioppino—loaded with salmon, halibut, scallops, jumbo shrimp, crab, mussels, and clams in house marinara—anchors a seafood roster built along a Carlsbad Boulevard stretch that also features GelatoLove Carlsbad Village's house-churned Italian gelato one block south. Swordfish piccata, New Zealand mussels in white wine, and fra diavolo compete for attention with the thin-crust seafood pizza layering shrimp, crab, and market fish over a marinara base. The full bar pours craft drafts and Italian wines for a beach-adjacent crowd flowing along Carlsbad Boulevard from Carlsbad State Beach, a coastal demographic also drawn to the sushi program at Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar up the street on Carlsbad Village Drive. Jay's Seafood Combination—the house signature—sautees salmon, halibut, scallops, jumbo shrimp, crab, mussels, clams, and calamari in a choice of red or white wine garlic sauce over linguini, assembling eight distinct proteins in a single platter.
