Founded in 2011 in Leucadia, Fish 101 was created by Chef John Park and Ray Lowe, who aimed to establish a traditional fish house focused on locally sourced seafood prepared with simplicity and quality. Their second location debuted in Cardiff in early 2019, bringing their fresh and sustainable seafood offerings to another North County coastal community.
Both Park & Lowe hail from San Francisco, where the duo previously partnered in restaurant Tokyo Go Go, which they sold in order to move to North County San Diego. Chef Park is a graduate of UCSC and the Culinary Academy of San Francisco and has previously worked at Ace Wasabi's in San Francisco and Cafe Japengo in La Jolla.
The newest Fish 101 outpost will open in the freestanding corner space at the prominent intersection of State & Grand. The new spot will feature an 1,856-square-foot indoor dining area along with a 2,200-square-foot outdoor patio.
