Pacific Catch is making waves in San Diego with its first SoCal location in La Jolla! This bright and airy restaurant brings beachy vibes and an extensive seafood list to La Jolla’s Westfield UTC mall. Head to Pacific Catch for any occasion, whether it’s a date night by the firepit or a family or group gathering. With innovative dishes like spicy sambal-glazed cod burgers plus tried-and-true favorites like Baja fish tacos, Pacific Catch has something for everyone—even if seafood isn’t your first choice! Here are five delectable dishes you need to try ASAP. Best Seafood La Jolla
Fresh Catch Asian Herb Chimichurri with Kimchi Fried Rice + Thai Brussels
Order off the Fresh Catch menu and choose Kanpachi yellowtail, striped sea bass or Arctic salmon with an Asian herb-garlic marinade! While there are four mouthwatering styles to choose from on the Fresh Catch menu, our eyes are on the Asian herb chimichurri sauce—a delightfully green topper to their roster of sustainably sourced fresh fish options. And don’t skimp on the sides! The crispy Thai Brussels and kimchi fried rice are the perfect complements to this meal—try the sunny-side-up egg add-on to mix into your rice.
Poke and Ceviche Trio
Pick three out of six poke and ceviche options with wontons or tortilla chips! Whether you share it with your table as an appetizer or claim them all for your entree, this trio of poke and ceviche on an ice bed is an excellent choice for indecisive orderers. Not sure which to pick? Follow our lead—we’re going for the Korean ahi poke (yellowfin tuna, gochujang, soy glaze, kimchi, onions and sesame seeds), spicy yellowtail ceviche (Hawaiian kampachi, Peruvian ají amarillo chile marinade, tomato, red onion and cilantro) and the Baja shrimp ceviche with fresh lime marinade, avocado, Fresno chile and cilantro.

Three Taco Platter
When it comes to tacos, we like to mix and match! Choose between six different tacos (traditional Baja, grilled fish, Cabo shrimp, guajillo shrimp, hot fish, spicy sriracha) and enjoy a side of black beans and fries, miso salad or chips and salsa. Feeling spicy? Try the hot fish taco with crispy Alaskan cod, sambal glaze, cabbage, pickled carrots, jalapeño and sriracha aioli. If you’re in a classic mood, order the traditional Baja crispy cod, with crunchy cabbage, avocado-tomatillo salsa and jalapeño tartar. If you’ve had your fill of seafood, opt for the spicy sriracha steak taco with cabbage, pickled carrots, jalapeño, crispy shallots and sriracha aioli.
Love Bites Platter
Whether you’re dining with a date or a group of pals, the all-new Love Bites Platter is perfect for sharing! Loaded with six Pacific oysters, six jumbo shrimp cocktail and six ceviche bites featuring scallop amarillo, yellowtail, aguachile and seafood cóctel, this seasonal delight will cure all your seafood cravings. The platter also comes with four different accoutrements, including black tobiko caviar, spicy cocktail sauce, wasabi aioli and a sake-guava mignonette. Simply add a squeeze of lime and enjoy the freshness of this summer dish!

Popping Shrimp Roll
Stacked tall, this zesty yet rich roll features a tasty combination of shrimp tempura, avocado, daikon sprouts, spicy tobiko aioli and a soy-citrus sauce. Also part of the Summer of Love menu, the Popping Shrimp Roll serves as a great appetizer before you dig into bigger dishes like the seared ahi burger, Asian chimichurri salad or three-taco platter.

Must-Try Cocktails:
Watermelon Margarita
Summer means it’s watermelon margarita season at Pacific Catch! The restaurant juices watermelons daily to give this classic cocktail a fresh tropical flavor. Watermelons also contain a number of essential nutrients so it’s basically like drinking a health tonic, right?
Local Insight: If you prefer a classic mai tai, they’re $4 off during happy hour, 3-6 p.m. on weekdays.
