Experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean combined with world-class dining on historic Cannery Row, just a short walk from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The newly renovated Fish Hopper, housed in an original sardine cannery building, offers spectacular views of the stunning Monterey Bay from every table, including our heated outdoor patio. The Fish Hopper specializes in fresh, sustainable seafood, certified Angus beef, pastas, and live shellfish. Our seafood is either locally caught or shipped in fresh daily, and our produce is locally grown in the Salinas Valley. Some favorites include fresh Monterey Bay abalone, macadamia-crusted halibut, our famous “Tomahawk Chop” bone-in rib eye, and fresh Dungeness crab. Start your meal with our award-winning clam chowder, and indulge in one of our many exotic cocktail creations or a selection from our extensive wine collection. While enjoying your delicious meal, you can watch sea otters at play and even catch a glimpse of the occasional whale.

    We had a very lovely and delicious dinner. The service was wonderful, and we had a table with the most fantastic 180 degree views of the bay. I highly recommend the Fish Hopper.

    For a foodie and from having food on our road trip. This spot lacked on flavor and would say the sandwich I had was way better than this place. Also customer service was low as the couple behind us a lil older than us had 5 star service and we had 2 star service. Definitely disappointed as we had expected to spend $200 plus just the two of us we felt like we would have supported elsewhere.
