The 16 Best Seafood Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The Hummingbird is quirky. This casual Peruvian-Japanese ceviche spot in Echo Park has corkboard ceilings and love notes scribbled on its pink-lit subway tile walls. A piano and a mic are set up in the back and put to use by random diners. But when you think you’ve got the scrappy arthouse operation pegged, the most beautiful yellowtail sashimi you’ve ever seen lands in front of you. Created by the chef behind splashy spots like Rosaline and Causita, the excellent Nikkei-influenced seafood dishes here wouldn't look out of place at a high-end spot on Restaurant Row, save for their reasonable prices. That includes hefty scallop handrolls with wasabi and jalapeno paste, salmon tiradito accented with bright orange vinegarette, and shrimp dumplings you wrap in sesame leaves like Korean ssam." - brant cox, sylvio martins
