Eating out in San Diego

I’ve been reading this book called “Floaters”. Its an old book I picked up during some clearance sale and is light enough for bedtime reading. Its set in San Diego which I associate with Sea World and killer whales but not food. In fact, the book does not say much about San Diego restaurants. I’m sure there are some good eating places there. I’m a foodie, I’ll sniff out some. hehe… Isn’t San Diego where the famous lobster or crayfish restaurant is? Or is that San Francisco?
