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.

While enjoying your delicious meal, you can watch sea otters at play and even catch a glimpse of the occasional whale.

    Our waitress was very attentive. The food was excellent. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops and artichoke for appetizers and they were delicious. The view was amazing, we got to watch otters play as we ate. We would go back!

    I've wanted to try sand dabs, and Fish Hopper did not disappoint! They were lovely, the drinks were good, the view outstanding. Husband's fish and chips were a hit. Sit by the expansive windows and relax.

    We are locals who eat at Fish Hopper and Old Fisherman's Grotto regularly. We usually come in for the Local's Menu and enjoy the food, view and service. This time the service was awful. The waiter was abrupt, rude and once dinner was served, disappeared until he brought the check and checked back three times to see if we'd paid it. We had no water during dinner and the ribs were grossly overcooked/dry. Very bad experience.

    We ordered the ribeye/seafood platter which was listed for MP, a side of mashed potatoes, and coconut shrimp to feed our family if 5. First, the food is always good at Fish Hopper. I’ve been coming here for over 20 years and it’s never missed the mark. My issues is with our server Orian who didn’t even do the basics of customer service. Never asked if I wanted a wine refill or if my husband wanted a soda refill, never asked how the food was or if we wanted/needed anything else, didn’t offer dessert and just placed the check next to me without saying a word. It felt like he was profiling us as a family and it started when we ordered the platter as if we didn’t know what “MP” meant or maybe he thought we could not afford it? We hate tipping low, but he still got 10 percent because the busser actually provided better service than Orian did. And I actually would have gotten dessert if he wasn’t so quick to give us the check. Also, the platter had steak and no steak knives were given. This is the basics of service!

    The food was excellent. I had their renowned clam chowder and it lived up to my friend’s recommendation. It was the best I ever had. I loved the view of the bay.
