California Fish Grill, a fast-casual dining restaurant known for serving premium, responsibly sourced seafood, celebrated the opening of its first Alexandria area location this week in Kingstowne, at 7003A Manchester Blvd.
Founded in 1998, California Fish Grill has become a favorite for its crave-worthy menu and casual, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in bold, flavorful seafood dishes made to order, combining the convenience of fast-casual dining with quality ingredients. California Fish Grill serves only seafood that meets high sustainability standards, including those recognized by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch® program, third-party certifications or credible improvement projects.
The menu features guest favorites such as Atlantic Salmon, Branzino and wild-caught Rockfish, served in bowls, tacos, salads and grilled plates. Exclusive to the new location are Lobster Rolls and the Wild Crispy Cod Sandwich. Guests can customize their meals with signature sauces like garlic butter or Cajun, with entrées offering between 20 and 67 grams of protein per plate.
“We’re thrilled for the opportunity to introduce California Fish Grill to the Fairfax community,” said CEO Bob Holden. “Our mission is to make high-quality, 100% sustainable seafood more accessible through the fast-casual experience — where guests can enjoy bold flavors, great value, and a relaxed dining environment.”
As part of every new store opening, California Fish Grill continues to donate to its longtime partner, No Kid Hungry, to support efforts to end childhood hunger. The brand also provides local nonprofits with an easy way to fundraise through its partnership with GroupRaise at www.groupraise.com/cafishgrill.
The restaurant offers a kid-friendly menu, family meals designed for convenient weeknight dinners, and catering options including grilled fish plates, salads, sandwiches, and taco kits – all available for pre-order through the company’s catering website.
