Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of San Carlos is The Fish Merchant, a seafood eatery that has been in East County for 30 years. The casual and friendly atmosphere of the restaurant makes it a great experience for everyone. The family-friendly aura of The Fish Merchant is even seen at the entrance, as a welcoming statue of the Fish Merchant himself will greet you as you enter the restaurant. A large board prominently displays the fresh catch of the day, and salt-water fish tanks strategically placed throughout the dining room enhance the overall nautical theme while dazzling the kids (and some adults)! The menu at The Fish Merchant is loaded with fresh seafood entrees for every seafood lover's tastes. House specialties include the Red Snapper Ceviche appetizer, the flavorful Seared Ahi and the Macadamia Nut Crusted Tilapia.
