About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Charming

Experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean combined with world-class dining on historic Cannery Row, just a short walk from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The newly renovated Fish Hopper, housed in an original sardine cannery building, offers spectacular views of the stunning Monterey Bay from every table, including our heated outdoor patio. The Fish Hopper specializes in fresh, sustainable seafood, certified Angus beef, pastas, and live shellfish. Our seafood is either locally caught or shipped in fresh daily, and our produce is locally grown in the Salinas Valley. Some favorites include fresh Monterey Bay abalone, macadamia-crusted halibut, our famous “Tomahawk Chop” bone-in rib eye, and fresh Dungeness crab. Start your meal with our award-winning clam chowder, and indulge in one of our many exotic cocktail creations or a selection from our extensive wine collection. While enjoying your delicious meal, you can watch sea otters at play and even catch a glimpse of the occasional whale.

The Fish Hopper is in a prime Cannery Row location, overlooking Monterey Bay. Menu items are on the pricey side (definitely more than the $$ specified). The crab cake appetizer was tasty, but the sesame crusted mahi mahi could have been more tender. Go for the views and unique cocktails.

This restaurant is a must every time we come into town. The staff is welcoming and let you pace your meal; no rushing unless you need to leave. The food is delicious and the specials imaginative. The views are amazing, especially at sunset.
