Fish Shop

Not only is Fish Shop a local mainstay for fresh seafood in a casual atmosphere, it’s also a veteran-owned establishment! Owner and partner Billy Ramirez served in the United States Marine Corps, so supporting the San Diego military community is an important aspect of the Fish Shop ethos. 

On Memorial Day, Fish Shop will extend its Active Duty Military Discount (10%) to veterans and first responders across all three locations. Present a valid ID and receive 10% off your purchase.

With three locations in San Diego—Pacific Beach, Encinitas, and Point Loma—there’s no reason not to plan a visit to Fish Shop for Memorial Day this month!

Miss B’s Coconut Club

Miss B’s Coconut Club in the heart of Mission Beach will feature a specialty cocktail all weekend long, alongside brunch, dinner, drinks specials, and more. The Stars and Spritz sounds particularly tempting, with Absolut Wild Berri, lime, cordial, pomegranate, soda, and Cava!
