El Pescador Fish Market

El Pescador is two things - a fresh seafood market, and a fresh seafood cafe-style restaurant. I was overwhelmed by the menu choices - so many different types of fish and seafood to choose from! I finally settled on a small bowl of the house-made clam chowder and an order of the fish tacos. Both were positively phenomenal. The restaurant is a little bit off the beaten path from the main part of La Jolla, but it is definitely worth the trip! Go early, though - I was in there on a Monday around 11 AM, and by noon the place was completely packed.

Rude and arrogant seating management during busy hours. I went to this place with my gf on a Saturday night and a waiter cleaned a table for me while my girlfriend was ordering food from the counter. Suddenly an arrogant white guy, let’s call this clown Mr. Controlling Seats, came to my table and said, “I will need to give this table to other customers whom I promised to give them the table they want ” I was like, “fine, I’m a customer here too, and where will my gf and I seat?” He looked around and had no answer.” When I felt being treated poorly with no respect, Mr. Controlling Seats immediately said, “listen, I work here.
