Encinitas Fish Shop
1010 S Coast Hwy 101Great clam chowder, crab cakes, fish tacos
Excellent breakfast - consider sharing because they make large portions. A selection of self-serve coffees. Sit inside or outside. Don't worry if the line is long and no tables available, there is a magic to the place that when you order a table will open up.
