Sea Rocket Bistro

When in-the-know locals crave true local flavor with ingredients sourced directly from fishermen and ranchers in San Diego, we head to Sea Rocket Bistro in North Park. This bistro boasts sustainable seafood, organic produce and pastured meats, as well as local craft beers and California wines in a casual-cool setting featuring a gallery of local artwork on the wall, located on North Park’s unofficial “Restaurant Row” along 30th Street.

Sea Rocket Bistro offers an ever-changing menu of fresh, local and regional ingredients. The menu is known to change along with the seasons, and recently, market fish has included yellowtail, mahi mahi, white sea bass, rock cod, snapper, yellowtail, California halibut, swordfish, opah, and Pacific snapper. Start with the Gouda Garlic Baked Oysters - four Summer Oysters from Carlsbad Aqua Farm baked with garlic butter, breadcrumbs and shaved Winchester Gouda cheese until melted and browned. Then move on to one of the signature entrees, including Seared Baja Jumbo Diver Scallops served atop sauteed greens and mashed potatoes; Shellfish Pasta - fettucini from Assenti's Pasta tossed with clams, mussels and diced vegetables in a light white wine & butter sauce; or Grilled Burger - made with beef, lamb or pork depending on supply - 1/3 lb seasoned ground lamb patty served with the usual fixins on ciabatta bread, served with side salad.
