About Us

Pelly's Fish Market & Cafe has been a Carlsbad staple since 1989, proudly serving the community with the freshest seafood and a warm, family-owned atmosphere. Located at 7110 Avenida Encinas Suite 101, we combine tradition with modern convenience, ensuring every visit feels like home.
Our market offers a curated selection of sushi-grade ahi, locally harvested shellfish, and a daily delivery of round-whole fish that arrives fresh, ready for on-site filleting. This guarantees that every fillet is of the highest quality before it ever leaves our kitchen.
The cafe showcases the same premium ingredients, turning them into mouth-watering dishes such as killer sandwiches, tacos, grilled seafood plates, and signature clam chowder (both Boston white and Manhattan red). No matter the occasion, our menu is crafted to delight both casual diners and those celebrating special moments.
Beyond dining, we excel in catering and event services. Whether it's a birthday party, rehearsal dinner, corporate gathering, or wedding celebration, Pelly's provides tailored menus, expert staff, and a vibrant space that transforms any event into an unforgettable experience.
We embrace technology to serve our guests better: online reservations, quick ordering through our website, and delivery via DoorDash and UberEats keep fresh seafood at your fingertips. Our dog-friendly patio and community-oriented events further make us the go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.
At Pelly's, we are committed to sustainability, local sourcing, and exceptional customer service. Every interaction-whether in-person, over the phone, or online-reflects our dedication to creating memorable culinary moments that keep our guests coming back for more.
Join us for an unparalleled seafood experience that blends quality, convenience, and community in the heart of Carlsbad.
