Fish Market and Grill San Juan Capistrano

The Fish Market and Grill in San Juan Capistrano is the little sister restaurant to the Fish Market and Grill on The Lake in Mission Viejo. It's more of a cafe style versus it's sister restaurant's fine dining style.

The Fish Market and Grill is located on Ortega Highway just east of the 5 Freeway in a strip mall on the north side of Ortega. Parking can be a little hard to come by, especially during lunchtime.

The interior resembles a cafe. It has a very relaxed and casual feel to it. There is also patio seating outside. We were invited to choose whichever seats we wanted. We picked a nice seat by the window.

Our waitress came by promptly and took our drink order. My friend chose the halibut sandwich and I chose the seafood wrap. I did notice that the menu here does not have some items the Fish Market and Grill on the Lake has. The missing items seem to be the higher end grilled entrees, such as steaks and ribs. I'm guessing they don't have the capability of preparing those items here. It didn't matter to us much as the menu still has a good selection.

About 15-20 minutes later, our orders came out. The seafood wrap is a mix of shrimp, cod, and crab mixed in with rice, lettuce, and cheese. It's wrapped up in a sun-dried tomato tortilla and served with fries and your choice of cole slaw or fresh fruit. My friend's halibut sandwich was charbroiled halibut on fresh toasted bun with tartar sauce, tomato, lettuce and onion. It's served with fries and your choice of cole slaw or fresh fruit. Both tasted great.

I can say that I've tasted the seafood wrap at the location in Mission Viejo and it tastes consistent with the one here in San Juan Capistrano, so that's good. My friend thoroughly enjoyed the halibut sandwich.

Out total bill with 2 soft drinks and 2 entrees and tax came out to $27. I recommend this restaurant. I confess that I am a bit spoiled by the newer location on the lake in Mission Viejo though.
