Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill - Ocean Beach

Blue Water Seafood knows fish! Fish is all they serve and made to order. We were introduced to varieties of fish we'd never had before and it was all so delicious and fresh. I opted for the Grouper, grilled in garlic butter on a salad. Hubs got the Mahi Mahi in a fish taco.

I was so looking forward to trying this place. Got there and asked the cashier what they recommended for a flaky soft white fish and they recommended their local sea bass. Also ordered: - Clam chowder 2/5 too salty- calamari 4/5 pretty good and not overly chewy- oysters 3/5 decent but very small - sea bass with lemon butter sauce 2/5 this came out super tough and overcooked. We sent this back and the second time was better but definitely not flakey- cioppino 4/5 this was probably the best thing. But the fish inside was also tough and overcooked- track shrimp taco 3/5 pretty average, nothing spectacular Feel like I should have gone to Mabel's gone fishing or ironside instead. Wouldn't return here.

Located in the same complex as Wonderland Ocean Pub, this branch of Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill was set up just yards across from the waterfront. Parking in this busy area of Ocean Beach was all curbside and can be tricky to find an open space depending on what time of the day you arrive. The suite was filled with many decorations and photos of maritime memorabilia. There were a couple of glass displays in which you could buy fillets of fresh fish by the pound like at a supermarket.The service counter ordering was similar to many of the local fish shops around town. Different grilled fishes could be prepared as sandwiches, salads, plates, or tacos. Other items like poke, sashimi, soups/chowder, cioppino and raw oysters were also available. I picked a cup of clam chowder and a medium shrimp and crab chilled seafood sandwich for my meal and then sat a table with bench seating.The chowder was smooth and creamy with numerous chunks of clam. The sandwich was toasted and contained lettuce and tomato as toppings to the shrimp and lump crab meat. I thought the freshness of the ingredients stood out. This place was a nice option if you wanted to eat healthy seafood that was not deep fried although you can get that too with the beer battered fish and chips. I had no problem with giving a four star rating for my dining experience at Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill.

My friend wanted to try a seafood restaurant and we went to this place. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered a salmon taco. It was pretty solid. Good amount for that and the quality of salmon was pretty good. My friends ordered the salmon platter and poke bowl. The rice for the poke bowl was jasmine rice with butter. It was an odd pairing for poke. The portion for the salmon platter was huge. You can eat inside or outside and enjoy the views of Ocean beach. Service was fast and the food came out pretty

I was craving fish tacos and found Blue Water! We arrived on Monday at 11am, and it wasn't too busy (just yet). We had to stand in line to order our food first. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and had a lot of fisherman photos with their big catches! I ordered the Track Taco, Scallop Taco, and fish Taco (snapper). The tacos ranged from $8-9. We also got the calamari for appetizer, which was very crunchy and delicious. My niece had the chicken strips and fries off the kids menu. Our order took about 30 minutes to get, other than that the food was fresh and amazing! Spent about $70 including our two drinks. There is no parking in front, but a lot of side street and metered parking on Winder Street. Happy Eats

Well the seafood and fish are very fresh and tasty. The cook does an amazing job. The servers as well, keep the OB vibe alive. Order food, get beers, sit by the beach watching the sunset. This is San Diego living at its best.

I cannot speak more highly of this place. Everyone who helped us was so nice. My friend and I sat at the bar and Davin (I don't know how to spell it) was the bartender. TEN OUT OF TEN. He was so nice and we had so many questions about the bar, he answered them all perfectly. The clam chowder was phenomenal and now I know where to tell people the best clam chowder in San Diego is. And... BREAD BOWL. So good. Music was great, surf videos were great, no complaints.

Do you want to wait an hour to get the wrong thing? Then when you complain do you want some kid telling you you're wrong and they did what you asked for when it's clear they didn't? Welcome to Blue Water- they will mess up your order and expect to get tipped for it. Over this spot constantly mixing it up.

Fresh seafood and friendly servers. Nice patio seating but it gets crowded. Definitely worth waiting on the queue.

The staff was very pleasant, and attentive. The food presentation was good and it came out fast, however, I couldn't finish it. The first couple bites were great then all of a sudden the shrimp tasted dirty and spoiled. My stomach immediately turned and I was done.
