California Fish Grill, the fast-growing Southern California-based seafood chain, is preparing to open a new location in Clairemont at 5502 Balboa Ave.
Anyone recently driven by the corner of Balboa Avenue and Genesee Avenue knows something has been brewing in the former home of Boston Market. At first, it appeared that Starbucks would be extending into the space next door, but now, California Fish Grill has posted signage announcing its upcoming arrival. The company expects to open the new location sometime next month, according to the company’s website. The site is currently under construction.

California Fish Grill also expects to open a new location in Los Feliz at 4531 West Hollywood Suite G sometime next year. When these locations open, customers can expect a variety of delicious fish that are freshly prepared daily.
