The food was excellent. They serve Alaska pollock in their fried items and ono/wahoo in the grilled items. Really loved the slightly crispy fries. My only criticisms are 1. that a “Cajun style” poor boy roll should be generally cylindrical, not square like a ciabatta, 2 find a better tortilla for the taco. One that doesn’t disintegrate leaving a fish taco salad on the plate.

4 stars for nostalgia alone. Carlsbad was my neighborhood for 5 years and I ate at Harbor Fish Cafe once a week during that time. That beach is still my favorite.
The food is good. I am not going to say it’s crazy great (although I feel like it used to be). And the prices have gotten pretty insane in the past 5 years. But I still love getting a cup of clam chowder and the giant fish taco or a 2-piece fish and fries plate when I am in town. And I have to credit Harbor with making me understand that I DO in fact love fries, I was just waiting all my life for someone to actually make them crispy enough.
The staff has always been really friendly with me. I still feel at home here.

If you find yourself in Carlsbad and looking for excellent fish tacos then there is no better place than the Harbor Fish Cafe. Not only is the food top notch and very delicious the service is exceptional. Food was delivered hot and fresh and I was treated with professionalism and terrific hospitality. As for the location and atmosphere all I can say is, absolutely spectacular. The Harbor Fish Cafe is absolutely fantastic.

I was amazed by their fish and chips. The fish was incredibly fresh, covered in a light and crispy batter, and the homemade sauce made every bite even better. Having it with their own beer was such a great match. Sitting outside with the sea breeze and the ocean view made the experience feel calm and special. The service was warm and quick, and I left already wanting to return.
If you enjoy fresh seafood in a relaxed beachside setting, Harbor Fish Cafe is absolutely worth visiting.

I was told this place was the best place to go to for fish. They claim of fame is the fish and chips, which I had. I’ll be honest with you, it wasn’t anything amazing. It kind of lacked flavor. That being said, it was perfectly cooked, crispy, golden, brown, Fish was delicate. The way it was prepared was done very well. It just didn’t have much flavor. Then again, most fish and chips don’t have a ton of flavor. I would definitely be back to try other food. Their clam chowder was very good and they have a great view as well.

On both our visits to Carlsbad, this was one of our ‘must do’ restaurants.
The setting is great, especially if you arrive just before sunset.
The fish tacos were a good size and really tasty.
Both the fish and chips and fish salad received good reviews from the rest of the family.
Drinks are reasonably priced.
Everything is disposable, so be prepared to eat of paper plates with plastic cutlery.

My husband & I visited Carlsbad often but never had the chance to stop to eat here. I’m glad we finally did because it was delicious. We shared the fried zucchini and the 2 piece fish & chips. The batter was crispy and not doughy. The fries had an extra crisp texture, which made them even yummier because nobody likes soggy fries. The best part was that at no time did it ever taste greasy. The tartar was yummy, and I asked for extra! The staff was amazing. Super helpful, esp when we mentioned it was our first time. But they also checked in and were friendly. We will definitely be coming back.

Local institution for a reason. Fresh seafood for a reasonable price. Could not believe the amount of food in the fish & clam platter for $16.49. Unreal location, friendly folk, quick and delicious. Happy we stopped by. Wasn’t sure as we figured it would be overpriced and touristy but it is the opposite!
