The ambiance is relaxed, with kind staff ready to assist you in your dining journey. On your visit, you're welcomed to grab a menu, place your order, and then settle in for an unforgettable meal.

The star of the show here is undeniably the fish and chips. Patrons rave about its exceptional flavor and perfect frying technique, drawing comparisons to authentic dishes enjoyed in Ireland. Each bite features succulent fish enveloped in a crispy crust that promises to satisfy your seafood cravings.

For those looking to expand their horizons, the Baja shrimp burrito comes highly recommended; it’s a crowd favorite for a reason. My personal recommendation? Pair your meal with the house-made clam chowder, a warm bowl of comfort packed with flavor, made from scratch using fresh manila clams and smoky bacon.

Don’t miss the chance to complement your dish with one of their grilled fish plates, where a 6 oz fillet paired with tartar sauce and a lemon wedge creates a perfect balance of taste and texture. Fish 101 also caters to families with a delightful kids’ menu, featuring fish sticks that are sure to delight even the fussiest eaters.

As you explore the offerings, keep an eye on the House Farmers Market Salad and the grilled shrimp cocktail. These items showcase the freshness from local farms, reflected in the vibrant flavors that elevate your meal. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, making it the perfect spot for families and friends alike.

Despite the ongoing construction in the area making parking tricky, the experience inside is well worth the effort. Many visitors express their desire to return every time they’re in town, attesting to Fish 101’s exceptional culinary standards. So, if you find yourself in Encinitas, make sure to pencil in a visit to Fish 101 Leucadia—it’s a slice of flavor paradise you won’t want to miss.
