Try the Harbor Fish Café for Dining by the Sea in Carlsbad

 Harbor Fish Cafe in Carlsbad Village, Carlsbad, CA

Carlsbad has a bunch of good restaurants in and around Carlsbad Village, and depending on your tastes can offer plenty of options. 

Fish Taco at Harbor Fish in Carlsbad CADining by the ocean is especially popular, and Harbor Fish Cafe offers good food, a casual environment, and terrific views depending in where you sit.

 No frills here...a roll of paper towels on the table for example...but that works just fine right along the coast. Plentiful seafood served in a variety of ways (love fried clams and such?) under a bright blue awning while people watching or staring at the ocean is the ultimate outdoor dining experience. Decent prices make it even better.

My Cacun Mahi Mahi Taco was delish. 

Harbor Fish Cafe is located along the 101 Coast Road just as you come into Carlsbad Village from the South. Look to your left for the blue awning. Don't expect fancy dining, and if you like free refills you are out of luck. And a certain amount of grease is to be expected. Good for a casual lunch or quick dinner. 

Harbor Fish Café is located at 3179 Carlsbad Boulevard (Route 101

Hi Jeff, a wonderful post and I think restaurants make for some fun and interesting reading by consumers. Not to mention another excellent way to endear yourself to these local restaurants. Everyone who buys homes also eat. Now, how hot is that, :-)

Nice spotlight on the Harbor Fish Cafe, Jeff. Looks like a great place to grab a bite to eat.

By the way, your cacun Mahi Mahi taco looks like my kind of meal.

Jeff, I don't think I ever saw fried clams when I was in California.  Are these the same whole bellies that we get back here on the East Coast?

Jeff:  While I can't eat seafood, I can usually find something to eat ... and the opportunity to ocean gaze ... Hmmm ... sounds like previews to paradise!

Oh my!  I want some right now!  But no time.  I gotta run off to an Open House with a couple of oranges and hunk of cheese to tide me over until tonight!
