Seafood
We’ve been in restaurants a long time – three generations, to be precise – and we love seafood. With seafood there’s so much to be passionate about – the freshness, the flavor, the variety, and the surprise.

To create the ultimate seafood experience, we traveled down the highways and byways. We pulled up a seat, put on bibs, and soaked up the seafood experience: The no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards, and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.

The pleasure of preparing and sharing seafood was simple and genuine, and it brought out the best in everyone. Often, we felt as if we’d been welcomed into somebody’s home.

That’s what King’s Fish House is all about — and we’ve tried to bring all of these ideas together into one single, spectacular place, filled with camaraderie and celebration, and the things we love best. Welcome to the House that Seafood Built!

    All was good! Environment was very nice! The Sand Dabs were absolutely amazing! Although, I was told the Pink Bream was like a Sea Bass texture, not so. The Pink Bream was over cooked- in my opinion. I will return!

    Our go-to for small celebrations and special occasions. Only complaint is the acoustics in the main dining area are pretty bad. It's hard to hear someone sitting across from you when it's moderately busy. The food is outstanding and allergen-friendly. The service is consistently great. There is a bar area with tables and booths if you're looking for a more casual experience. I recommend trying out this location.

    Have eaten here many times before and have raved abut the fish. The fish was good, as was the kid's pasta, but not great as we have experienced before. Veggies were terrific. A little disappointed.

    We had a very nice lunch. A bit on the noisy side inside, but not so much that we couldn't speak. The fish was delicious (scallops and blackened rainbow trout), but the vegetables were absolutely some of the best we've had at any restaurant in quite some time. We both wished they had just a sampler platter of the all the veggie sides!

    The macadamia nut crusted halibut with lemon butter sauce was worth every penny. The roasted brussel sprouts and sautéed spinach were the perfect side dishes & the service was excellent! They had the best kid’s menu with lots of different activities for the 8 year old which kept him busy. We really enjoyed our Mother’s Day brunch with King’s, and we will be back.

    Good food, horrible service. First server took everones drink order except mine. When I let her know that she forgot my drink order, she had an attitude about it. There is more that I would add but, dont want to waste more time dwelling on it.

    As always, we LOVE King's Fish House, but it was harder to do so yesterday. Maybe the crowds came because it was an early way to celebrate Mother's Day, but the reception crew was clearly overwhelmed and not thinking well. Even with a reservation, we were delayed by their failure to "find" the reservation--as an attempt to seat our party of three in a space for only two. Our waitperson, Ashlyn, "saved" the day. She was cheerful, energetic, and quickly changed the negativity to a happy reception and excellent service.

    Birthday lunch, sat outside, while it’s in a strip mall we had a nice view of some greenery and residences. The fish dish I got was unique and delicious and the sides were above average, very good! I like the large menu and everything we had was good.

    Kings Fish House never disappoints!! We came here to celebrate Birthdays!. Elaine was our server, she was excellent and very attentive. Our starter were the Blackened Shrimp Taquitos and the Crab Cakes. They were absolutely delicicous. We both had the Halibut, mine was grilled she had the Macadamia Crusted. Highly recommend both!!
