8 Seafood Restaurants in Downtown San Diego — Harbor Drive & Gaslamp Quarter

Waterfront Seafood

The 8 seafood listings lean heavily toward the Harbor Drive waterfront and Embarcadero, where bay views come standard. The Fish Market at 7,803 reviews is one of the highest-reviewed restaurants in all of Downtown — it sits on the bay near Seaport Village and the USS Midway Museum. Top of the Market (4.5 stars, 854 reviews) operates upstairs in the same building with a white-tablecloth program. Tuna Harbor Dockside Market (4.7 stars, 386 reviews) sells fresh-catch from the commercial fishing pier — a direct-from-boat market unique to Downtown San Diego.

Where to Eat Seafood Downtown

Harbor Drive and the Embarcadero waterfront hold the majority of dedicated seafood dining — accessible from the Seaport Village area and the Convention Center district. The Gaslamp Quarter adds Lionfish on Fifth Avenue and Crudo Ceviche & Oyster Bar (332 reviews) for raw-bar dining. Sally’s Waterfront Dining at the Manchester Grand Hyatt serves the hotel crowd with bay views. For more seafood options, Coronado and La Jolla both run strong coastal seafood scenes, and Point Loma adds waterfront fish houses along Shelter Island.
