What our guests are saying
Had a great experience at Simply Fish in Costa Mesa. The mussels were excellent, and the white fish was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sides were also very good and complemented the meal well. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the dining experience even better. What impressed me most was the value: the portions were generous, and the quality of the food was outstanding for the price. Overall, a great seafood spot that offers delicious food, great service, and excellent value. I will definitely be back!
Simply Fish is such a hidden gem! 🐟✨ The seafood is always incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. I love how clean and simple everything is—you can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're craving fresh, delicious seafood, this place is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!
We went in an hour before closing time on a Saturday, no wait. The food is excellent, nothing is overly salted, the clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl was wonderful. The sampler plate with fries was a great way to start, everything fresh, no old-oil smell to it, the fish and chips were plentiful for the price. Live music was prefect for the atmosphere, service was wonderful! Will definitely come back.
Large selection of menu items and always good. Had dinner there many times. This visit ordered the lemon-butter bacon wrapped shrimp and scallops. Wife ordered the same except Cajun seasoned.

Fresh from a fisherman's hands to your plate
Derek Taguchi spent decades on the water mastering what fresh really means. Now he's serving it in Costa Mesa.
Ocean vibes, live music, cold drinks
