Nico's Fish MarketA-

745 Emerald St, San Diego, CA 92109 · Seafood restaurant, Seafood market · Pacific Beach

Exceptionally fresh, locally sourced seafood with counter-service vibes and long lines; great poke, burritos, and catch plates at fair mid-range prices.

Our take

Nico's Fish Market earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality anchored in ultra-fresh local catch and vibrant, ingredient-driven cooking that draws consistent praise and loyal repeat visits. Strong service attentiveness and knowledgeable staff guidance elevate the experience, though limited seating and modest space comfort combined with frequent peak-hour waits prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. A beloved neighborhood institution that delivers on its core promise: pristine fish prepared simply and well.

One caveat: Expect significant waits at busy hours; lines to the door are common
