"The Del Rey location of the iconic Inglewood restaurant isn’t the largest space on this list, but as long as your group doesn’t exceed ten or so people, you’ll still find plenty of space to spread out and enjoy a meal. That said, with seafood this fresh, it’s worth scrunching into a table for a few hours. Whether it’s the raw shrimp aguachiles, the marlin tacos, or a giant whole snook for the table, this is some of our favorite seafood in LA, and if your friends don’t agree, it’s time to start making some cuts." - brant cox
"Yeah, it made our Best Tacos In LA list last year, but IMHO, there may not be a more underappreciated taco in town than the marlin taco at Coni’Seafood. Stuffed with smoked marlin spread and cheese, it’s simple, savory, satisfying, and certainly not the kind of thing you’d see on your Instagram feed - but what good taco is?" - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating, james montgomery
"Coni'Seafood is rightfully famous. This family-owned Mexican seafood spot has been serving some of the best Nayarit-style mariscos in town for decades, and eventually expanded its shrimp-heavy operation with a second location on the Marina Del Rey/Mar Vista border. The outdoor patio here is slightly smaller than the original’s (we prefer to call it “more intimate”), but the menu is the same. As soon as you arrive, order the signature whole snook (it takes a solid half-hour to prepare) marinated in a salty, umami-rich sauce and grilled to perfection. We also typically opt for the marlin-topped mini tostadas and bright, citrusy aguachile verde." - nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"Connie’s Seafood Restaurant in the East End has been shelling out a unique combination of Mexican-Asian plates and seafood by-the-pound for decades. So not only can you get dozen after dozen of Gulf oysters here, you can also get a giant plate of shrimp fried rice, a bowl of ceviche, and a frosty michelada. The inside may resemble a discotheque at closing time—tons of neon, bright overhead lights, a backlit glass block bar top—but we kind of dig the scrappy ‘80s vibes. So bring your friends, slide into the plastic-molded booths, and knock back some oysters and beer. There are also multiple locations around town. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
