Fish 101 - Cardiff

Fish 101 is one of my absolute favorite restaurants, and I always come back here. This is the perfect place to bring anyone who is in town and looking to have super fresh fish. I am very, very picky about the quality and selection of fish that I consume, and Fish 101's fish is caught daily and as fresh as it can get.I love the salmon bowl with salmon, brown rice, baby kale, and their chipotle mayo--it's simply outstanding. I also sometimes get the clam chowder, which is a 10 out of 10 for me. It has the perfect creamy texture and is packed with seafood and delicious vegetables.Some other menu items that I love are the Poke Bowl and the seafood curry. Both are incredibly flavorful and fresh. I am a longtime Fish 101 fan and love it so much. Highly recommend!

Ordered takeout via their website, so this review is solely based on their food!Got the poke bowl, Baja fish burrito, Mahi tacos, and fish sticks from the kids menu (this is basically a small plate of fish and chips). The Mahi didn't have much flavor but I'm guessing they expect you to salsa it up a bit more. The fish burrito was huge! Everything very reasonably priced and at a convenient location! Would come back for those giant fish burritos if we're back in the area!

The fish n chips were about a 9. Which is pretty good. The staff is amazing! The ambience is casual.

So good and at a great price point! We walked over from camping at San Elijo and it was perfect!

Fish and chips were very good.service was quick.Ambulance rock and roll music and picnic style tables . It's nice for a quick lunch. I'm going to try a salad for lunch the next time.

Great food & fast service. It's a crowded Wednesday night at 6:30 and they do not disappoint. My previous review from a year ago is upped one star as they are consistently on top of their game. Great fish tacos and clam chowder. This time order beer on tap which they offered a taste first. My wife who is not a soda drnker enjoyed her Stubborn Soda: Pineapple Cream. Next time in SoCal it's a definite stop.

Sunny day in Cardiff! First visit to "Fish 101". It's an "order at the counter...deliver to your table" GEM at the coast‼ Huge menu. I had the Baja Fish Tacos (3). Comes with a delicious Verde Sauce. Enjoyed EVERY bite! They may have surpassed "The Brigantine's" which, I know, unimaginable. My lunch mates enjoyed the "Spicy Ahi Tacos" and the "Grilled Mahi Tacos". We shared a VERY nice bottle of Chardonnay. There is indoor and outdoor seating and it's dog friendly. I can't wait to visit the Leucadia location which is closer to my home.

This place was great. Just arrived in from out of town wanting to have lunch. You order at the counter which service was great and the person was pleasant. Food brought to the table had grilled shrimp tacos and my husband had the grilled mahi sandwich which came out hot and pretty big piece of fish. Tacos were so filling. There is seating inside and out. We sat inside but next time I would love to sit outside which is like bar seating and you look out to the street beach can be seen as well. Nice little place.

I had a crazy good time here at Fish 101. The food is good and fresh. The service is very calm and cooperative. The ambiance is nice too.

Live this place! I'm usually there at least once a week. The people are always friendly & helpful. My go tos are the grilled fish tacos or grilled fish bowl, but you really can't go wrong with anything you get. Place is cool with a beachy vibe.
