San Pedro Fish Market - Long Beach

So, I had really high hopes for this place based on the photos and reviews I saw online. Fresh fish, on the pier, my mouth was watering. Sadly, I feel the menu options are fairly limiting. We really wanted the fish platter with the corn in the red sauce with the 3 different fishes, but that option was only available for 4-6 people, which made it much more expensive and it was just 2 of us. They only had 2 platter options for 2-4 people. The one with the red sauce only included shrimp and the other was fried but included calamari, shrimp and whitefish. So we went with that options. The whitefish was ok, the shrimp felt so heavy and there was nothing special at all about them and the calamari was cold and rubbery. The famous garlic bread was sooooo bland and sad. Couldn't taste any garlic or butter. And the fries were pretty disappointing and beyond basic. It honestly felt like it was all frozen food that had been microwaved and sat out for a while before making its way to our table. The view was beautiful. I loved seeing all the docked boats on the pier. I wish they had better options for 2-4 people. No reason why they can't make smaller platters that included more than 1 non fried option. The aftermath, about an hour or so after dinner my stomach felt so heavy from all the grease. I would highly recommend staying away from the fried platter. The service was not the best and not horrific. The waitress just wasn't very attentive. I hate when I have to look for my server to get a refill. As a former waiter you never let a guests drink go to empty, you ask if they would like a refill before they are completely done with their drink. She only came by 1 time 5 mins after the food arrived.

Wow. Just wow. Excellent experience. Service, atmosphere, food quality, all magnificent! Favorite part was picking out the fresh fish from the seafood counter and having them cook it on the spot. We went with some scallops, crawfish, calamari, and the shrimp tray special. Diablo sauce was exquisite! Just a great overall experience, straightforward, nothing fancy or luxurious, just outright fresh, amazing food and great service. Gorgeous sunsemt views. Can’t wait to return!

Popped in twice in the last week. Both times at Happy Hour which for the winter season runs 3pm-closing. Friday our bartender was Jeff who made very good Old Fashioned and guided us to the Ceviche Tostadas. Excellent. Fresh fish with a light salsa on crisp tostadas. Our second pop in was a Tuesday night after a movie at Marina Pacifica (short walk over but there's plenty of parking in the lot at SPFM. Tonight Brandon poured some good Old Fashioneds as well. We checked out the Chowda fries - crisp and with a light chowder sauce on them. We did 3 tacos (a Tuesday & Wednesday special:3 for $12.99 and you can mix and match). Two fish one and one pork belly. All great. We didn't need it but we ordered some guacamole (fresh made) and chips. Ricardo the manager stopped by to check if we were good. Quiet evening there but I highly recommend this place especially during the quiet winter months. Atmosphere a bit on the franchise side but otherwise good.

I just had the most wonderful dining experience! The trays are absolutely perfect for sharing with a group, and I love that you can easily add more to your order. Our waiter was so friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food arrived incredibly fast, which was a fantastic bonus! I'm already looking forward to my next visit! 😋🍽️ #Foodie #GreatService #Delicious

I heard of the shrimp tray. We did that along with the add-ons, and the clam chowder. I'm glad we went there as it was worth it. Our server as well (forgot her name) was fantastic. I'd go again.

Got the original shrimp platter added a whole dungeons crab. Food was hot fresh and delicious. Service was great. Draft beer ice cold and what a view.

We made reservations via on line and phoned ahead to remind them that we were celebrating a milestone birthday (small party of 5). Our server 'B--' was not attentive and seemed more interested in up selling for more than needed.. He told the Birthday 'honoree' that he simply forgot!! Finally the food was good and may return; however if "B--" is our server I'd ask for a switch..

Returning to San Pedro Fish Market for the second time, I was once again immersed in its vibrant atmosphere and delectable seafood offerings. The iconic shrimp trays, piled high with a medley of fresh seafood, vegetables, and their signature seasoning, remain a highlight. The communal dining setup fosters a lively environment, perfect for gatherings with family and friends.  While the food quality is consistently impressive, I did notice that during peak hours, the service can be a bit slow, likely due to the high volume of patrons. However, the staff remains courteous and works diligently to accommodate everyone. The market’s location offers scenic waterfront views, adding to the overall dining experience. It’s evident that the establishment values its patrons, as seen in their efforts to maintain cleanliness and provide ample seating despite the bustling crowds. In summary, San Pedro Fish Market continues to deliver on its promise of fresh seafood and a memorable dining experience. I look forward to future visits and exploring more of their menu offerings.

Looking to purchase 5lb. Live lobsters. Do you have that size lobsters. From New England and we are missing good Maine Lobster.please let me me know if you have, would be greatly appreciated.

Came here for Mother's Day weekend with the fam, and it was a whole scene - in the best way! Super packed (as expected), but we still had a great time. We got one of the famous seafood trays (shrimp, sausage, potatoes, peppers, and garlic bread) and it did not disappoint. So flavorful, fresh, and plenty to share. It's definitely a "wow" dish when it hits the table. The vibe was festive - music playing, people laughing, ocean views - very family-friendly but with energy. Perfect for celebrating something special.

Two hostesses, 2 girls behind the take out t-shirt counter, a bartender watching TV, and ONLY one waiter....? Waited 20 minutes for anyone inside the restaurant to acknowledge our presence and eventually walked out (past the 4 girls twiddling their thumbs by the host stand). no wonder why this place is so empty. Whoever is doing the scheduling, might be better to prioritize serving your guests instead of merely seating them. What a disappointment.

Service very slow. Waited too long for 3 sandwiches Too long to get a beer Waiter never around. Not a good experience. I may be wrong but think he went outside to smoke. Maybe short staffed?

Size of oysters were tiny & they were $20 Forgot to bring me my ceviche out & it was garbage Staff sucks , ruined a classic place I grew up eating at. .

Happened to be in the area and decided to stop by the San Pedro Fish Market. It has been remodeled since my last visit (years ago) it's a lot easier to order, they bring the food and drinks to your table, it was much cleaner than I remember it being and I just enjoyed the vibe & feel of the place! Food was 10/10 and the Michelada hit the spot, I'll be back for more!

The food is okay, reasonable taste but some of them is over sources, the service is reasonable, went in a low traffic time, and ambiance is like a bar, pretty bright light, still good to drop by!

This place is awesome every time we visit. Karla is pleasant and so kind as she brings our delicious calamari, shrimp, salmon, and Micheladas!!! The views are amazing looking around the boats in the Los Alamitos Bay and the excitement in here is fun and contagious. We can't wait to return soon!!! Thank you San Pedro Fish Market!!!

Never again. The oysters were BAD! Old tasting, no brine flavor, and something tasted just off. I ordered a dozen with 4 of each of the 3 kinds and left 4 of them on the plate. It was served with tons of lemon, cocktail sauce, and horseradish but no vinegrette. I paid quickly because my stomach was already telling me to stop eating and that it was off - made it less than a block to the Whole Foods bathroom to throw up. Never in my life have I had such bad oysters! Service was attentive and restaurant and bathroom were clean. I did get a short pour on my sauv blanc and it was 11.5 instead of 11 but didn't have time to argue - I needed to get out! Update: I called the restaurant right after posting this to notify them and received the most blasé 'thanks for letting us know'. Idk what I was expecting but maybe a 'oh no! Feel better!' Would've been appreciated as I'm now downing pepto...

Ambiance was was SUPERB! We ordered the shrimp plate which was also SUPERB , but our fish came out grilled and we asked for it fried. Maybe next time. Service was not top tier. Jason was absent the whole time. I got my own refills , I got my own check and I got my own bag and Togo box. But you get two shiny stars. Either way. Thank you.

Delicioso! Everything was very good! Loved the drinks! Our server was amazing! Will definitely be returning! Loved the environment!

Decided to give it a try despite the bad reviews and over $200 later quickly regretted it. We had a several different dishes and all of them were bland, cold (plates hot but food cold). Also the items on the table we're disgustingly sticky (ketchup, salt etc) with leftover foods from other people. Clearly cleaning is not on their priority. Service was mediocre, and the tables outside have a blaring sun which is uncomfortable. They do nothing to accommodate those who are getting blinded by the sun. Definitely will not be coming back and do not recommend.

We have eaten here probably a half a dozen times over the last year and always had a good experience. Coming from Florida originally, it can be hard to find what we consider to be Gulf-style seafood in Southern California, but the shrimp tray, especially when you add spicy sausage and corn on the cob, is as close to a shrimp boil as we have found outside of the deep south. The decor is just the right amount of kitschy, and they've got well priced drinks on tap and a full bar (the big bottle beers are especially fun). The service can sometimes be a little slow, as there are often large parties, but so long as you're not in a rush, it's a great evening out!

First time at this location. Very different from the San Pedro location. This is more of a sit down restaurant. Huge two story space, with a bar, and plenty of window side seating with a view of the water. We were celebrating National Margarita Day with some family and also craving seafood...win win! Wasn't too busy on a Saturday. It was lunch time so I had expected a bigger crowd. Lucky us that we were seated rather quickly. Great seats right at the window with the sun warming us during our meal. Friendly and attentive waitress. Came back a couple to check on us and provide refills. We ordered: - House Margarita (needs more alcohol IMO) but came in a pint glass so that was nice -Original Shrimp Tray with sausage and snow crab add on. Perfect amount of food for my husband and I to share. Comes with an entire loaf of garlic bread that we barely got half way through. I saw a couple large mugs of beer floating around other tables. I'll skip the margs next time and tackle one of those babies with my seafood. Love being on the water and enjoyed our meal.

Dinned in when it opened on a Sunday. Plenty of parking around the restaurant. We got seated right away on the second floor which a had great view of the marina. Ordered the captains tray with a side of sausage and scallops. Plenty of food for two people! Ended up having some left overs but the quality of food was great! Everything had a great amount of flavor. I'll definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

One star for our server! The only good thing about this place was our server, she was amazing. Unfortunately the food was not. The tray lacked flavor and everything was cold. The shrimp was overcooked, the potatoes had no seasoning, and the so-called "veggie mix" was basically just potatoes, onions, and tomatoes. Even with lemon, it didn't help. The garlic bread wasn't garlic bread at all just plain bread, either rock hard or mushy, with zero flavor. Very disappointing overall. We won't be back. On top of that, while sitting there we kept getting nasty mop-water smells from the bar area, which was gross and made the experience even worse.

I went to the San Pedro fish market and took my out of town guests. That was the most disgusting cold over priced garbage and the service was terrible they brought half of the food which was cold and mushy we had to wait another 20 minutes to get the rest of the food I would never go there again or recommend that garbage for my cat.

The location is spacious, they have a lot of picnic style seating. Some of the tables are covered others aren't. You order at your table through a QR code and food is delivered by staff. The food was ok, I was hoping it would be more flavorful. It was pricey I ordered the famous shrimp plate, chowder and Margarita that was $50.00 Live music is playing so it makes it a nice place to hang out and eat.

Nice vibe and view when sitting upstairs. Foods were just soso, the oysters were not very fresh.

Still can't understand how a fish marker, specialized in sea food, could ruin every single seafood dish our table ordered, BUT get the hamburger right! The place wasn't even packed and it took way too long to place our order and get our food. Hardly got checked up on and even had to send fries back because they were hard when we got them. This was my birthday dinner and it was the biggest disappointment I had ever experienced here. There was absolutely no reason why we would receive bad service and horrible food when the place wasn't packed and it wasn't a holiday! Never coming back here again.

Dinner with friends who were craving seafood. We drove to Long Beach to eat here. Our friends recommended this place cause he has been here a few times. The ambiance is great here so is the customer service. The hostess was a little unfriendly but our waiter Carlos made up for it. He was very attentive and friendly. We ordered three fried red snappers which tasted amazing but my most favorite was the ceviche. It was so fresh and flavorful and delicious. I'll come back just for that. The tray full of fried calamari and shrimp and fries was good too. If you love seafood you will love the foods here. Let's not forget about the cocktails. Both drinks way friend and I ordered were delicious.

First time here for me and it was a fun experience that fits my palette and diet. Our server Ashley was awesome. She explained how everything worked and the options and when I asked for help with a no carb/keto meal she had some good suggestions. Very attentive and really beyond the norm. We order the whole deep fried tilapia which is said to be served on vegetables. We love the whole deep fried fish in Maui and Honu so ordered it. It was yummy and moist inside and crunchy on the outside. A lot of work to eat it around d the bones but sometimes I like that. It slows the process down. . The vegetables were mostly potatoes and some onion and bell pepper with a few tomatoes, so I coulda woulda ordered grilled zucchini for my vegetables. The flavor of the butter and garlic soaked into the were yummy! We will definitely be back.

You are able to select from an array of fresh seafood and have it cooked to order. Then you get to go home to enjoy or sit overlooking the water if you so choose. AMAZING! Plus I was able to get raw oysters chucked of course!! Service was fantastic at the seafood counter and in the restaurant area. I really really enjoyed this as it was my first time here! Thank you!

When you hear the name of the place, you'd expect to see a fish market that's outside, but this place is a full on restaurant. I shared a Captain's Tray and a Full-Fried Fish with 2 other friends. The garlic bread didn't have much garlic on it and the seafood that was on the captain's tray looked didn't taste fresh, except for the 3 pieces of fish that was on their. The full-fried fish was a bit hard to eat, because the meat didn't come off as easily as other please I had fried fish from. Also, under the fish...there was potatoes and other items being soaked in oil. The service deserved 5-stars, but the food up subpar and didn't feel like it was worth the cost. Lastly, I had two friends that ordered grilled items, but it was super oily that they ended up getting food poisoning thar very night. I'd come back if the food wasn't as oily as it is.

I took my wife here for her birthday and we had a great time. The food was good and our server made us feel very welcome. It was also his birthday and he brought us desert and sang happy birthday. It's amazing to be able to have dinner with a nice view of the marina.

I came during the renovation, so we ended up eating at the temporary location near the water... and the pop-up restrooms. I wasn't too crazy about the setting, but they were clearly doing the best that they could. We sat outside under umbrellas, as there isn't an interior at the moment. You have to order using a QR code and then stay at your table. I regretted the table we picked right away, but we stayed since we had committed and ordered. I think the order took about 15 minutes to get to us, but no issues. The food quality wasn't as great as I remember, and the prices have certainly gone up quite a bit. Still, it was a nice day for lunch and the dishes were quite good. A bit greasy, per my date, but good. We had to pay something like $8 to park on some dusty gravel, but that's okay. Not sure I'll be back again until the new location is up and running.

Food and service was great! Loved their outdoor seating area! Ricardo was our server and very friendly. He explained the entire menu for us. The captains tray was delicious! Crispy whole fish was tasty too!! We would return!

Loved the fish n chips. Crunch crust (not too much) not greasy at all - definitely high end fish n chips. Fish was tender, and good. One thing: the hey forgot my tartar sauce. Huge bummer when I got home. Otherwise great dinner

Came here for happy hour which turned into a full dinner. Great atmosphere, great service and great food. We ordered oysters and deep fried fish and both were very good. You can order thru their menu or order to their market place where they have fresh fish to choose from. You can either fry or broil the seafood m. Great experience overall all.

My mom usually visits the original location with her friends.. Since seafood was something that has grown on me throughout the years I finally tried something outside of chicken nuggets lol. I ordered the original shrimp plate with the Cajun seasoning. The portions were huge, I swear they gave me like 2lbs of shrimp!!! The flavor was good. My mom ordered the tilapia, she was so happy. She is so picky, if it's not fresh fish she usually says it tastes like dirt, but this one was just right. We will be coming back since the location is much closer to home. Five stars!

Spicy Calamari is amazing. My new favorite dish. Shrimp tacos were pretty normal, good but not over the top. Reasonably priced. Beer was cold and service was great. I'll definitely be back

The food wasn't as I expected. Good portions but very bland. The service was great. The ambiance was nice, with the view of the sea.

SLAM some CLAM chowdah'! It's traditional with a twist. And you'll be JAMMIN' with the SALMON sandwich! (with crispy delicious seasoned fries) Huge property with mass amounts of seating, parking and high spirits.

We were, originally, planning to go to another seafood restaurant in Redondo Beach. But, after looking around on yelp, we decided to try this instead. It turned out to be a good decision. Food was great and, surprisingly, not too salty. Our server was friendly and attentive. In terms of prices, it's definitely on the high side like most seafood restaurants. Love the location of the restaurant. You get to enjoy the view of the marina while dining at the restaurant.

View was nice but the food was awful. We ordered calamari that was tasted right from the freezer to the fryer. We expected so much better....

We had heard a lot about San Pedro Fish Market on social media, so we decided to give it a try on a Saturday evening while we were in the area. Although we had already had dinner, we opted to enjoy some drinks and snacks and asked to be seated in the bar area. The place has a rustic charm and was bustling with activity, even though it was close to 9 p.m. The atmosphere was lively, with lots of families and guests coming and going. Despite the crowd, the service at the bar was very attentive, and the bartender made some great suggestions. We decided to try the LBC Margarita, which featured fresh cucumber juice. It was nice and light, though a bit sweet for my taste. For snacks, we created our own combo with grilled shrimp and grilled calamari, choosing fries and grilled zucchini as our sides. Even though it was our first time, we were really pleased with the seasoning we chose, opting for the combination of savory seasoning and the mojo de ajo as the base for the shrimp and calamari, with the diablo sauce on the side for dipping. If you love spicy dips, this sauce is amazing--perfectly balanced with a subtle heat. We also tried a half-shelf of oysters, which were okay. Overall, it was a good experience, and we're looking forward to coming back for a full meal.

Close to Long Beach Airport. Opened at 11am today (Wednesday). Clam chowder was amazing! I would come here just to eat the clam chowder. The calamari was tasty and delicious. I loved the garlic bread with the clam chowder. I didn't really like the steamers and the shrimp place was good but did not stand out like the clam chowder. The waitress was great. Friendly and knowledgeable server. I loved our table and the view of the dock. Beautiful area to walk around. Also close by other places like coffee shops and such.

Had lunch here on a Saturday with my wife. We originally sat outside, but it was a bit too cold, so we ended up moving inside. Our server, Evelyn, was super friendly and checked in on us often without being overbearing. We ordered our usual: the Shrimp Tray with spicy sausage added. While waiting, we snacked on Chips & Salsa, and I've got to say, the salsa was incredible. I told myself I'd only have a couple chips, but it was too good to stop. As for the Shrimp Tray, just as good as always. Flavorful, cooked perfectly, and just the right amount of kick with the added sausage. This place never disappoints. Always satisfying and always worth the trip.

Sunday Lunch in the cool breeze. Quick and friendly service. Enjoyed the clam chowder and WF Shrimp Plate

I've always see this place on IG and had to grab some food while I was down in Long Beach. Unfortunately it wasn't much of an experience. I went for the MOJO DE AJO WORLD FAMOUS SHRIMP PLATE. It was really basic. Mostly potato's and onions with a handful of small shrimp. Not much worth remembering in flavor. No real sense of garlic flavor. I'd rather go to boiling crab for shrimp. The CALAMARI was as good as you can get anywhere really. If I had to choose something again is be fine with this. Maybe if you want a quick snack. I wouldn't go out of my way for this but it was fine.

It was good. We were a little apprehensive based on the varied reviews but decided to try on our own. Haven't been here since it was The Crab Shack. Used to adore the original SP fish market in SP. we ate at the bar. Service was friendly and prompt. Drinks were amazing. Food was tasty. Nice music going. Not too loud. TVs showing sports matches at the bar. Beautiful view of the bay. Decent prices. Can't complain. Easy parking and there's plenty of it. Came on a Saturday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar immediately. This Yelp Elite Reviewer would definitely come again.

I remember going to the San Pedro Fish Market as a kid with my family. Loved seeing that they made more locations where we can enjoy the same delicious food. We ended up trying the captains tray since it was more than enough for us to share. It comes with Crispy Shrimp, Calamari, & Whitefish with french fries. Every thing was so good. We loved the ambiance and the views out into the water, it is a great place to enjoy some food with the family and then be able to walk around by the ocean.

I don't know what in the boiled potato, lack of seasoning, freezer shrimp I just had. We ate at the bar. I want to be very clear that this has nothing to do with the servers. The owners/managers are failing their employees. FAILING THEIR EMPLOYEES. The bartender remade my drink in my original glass because he was "out of glasses." I ordered shrimp mojo de ajo. Neither the butter nor garlic showed up. There were multiple drinks returned to the bar because the order was "misread." There are so many amazing restaurants in Long Beach and the surrounding areas. This is not a place you should waste your time and money on. Also, I do not work in the restaurant business. There is nothing about this that is personal. But I do work my ass off and I would never spend my money here again. Ever. Under any circumstance. Like, ever. This restaurant is one ginormous red flag.

This location is very empty, the ambiance is nice as it sits by the marina. The service was slow at first, but then it got better. We were the first customers. The shrimp tray was a bit of a disappointment as the size of shrimp is smaller than what was served at their mother location in San Pedro. The flavor was good, but not the same as past visits in San Pedro which sadly, is just a memory.

OMG.... From the first sip of my Mangonada I knew I would be coming back definitely the best margarita I've had in a long time....soooo I ordered the shrimp plate and Brussel sprouts and a shareable fried shrimp everything was amazing the customer service ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! My server was a sweet young lady named Jennifer she was very attentive and made sure we were good at all times big thanks to Jennifer this is the service I want everywhere I go

$9.00 any margaritas all day! Nothing wrong with that! Having lunch with our Godson and his wife. Sat at the bar while we waited for them to join us.

Went with a group from meetup for lunch at the San Pedro Fish Market. Right on the water in alamitos bay, long Beach. I ordered the shrimp plate and added on scallops. The food was cooked perfectly which isn't always the case with shrimp. The vegetables are well seasoned and paired well with the proteins. Waitress was very busy but did check back with us regularly. My only regret was having to leave for work before I was able to finish my lunch. Fortunately I was able to get a to go container to enjoy it as leftovers.

If you like seafood, this place is the spot to go to! I recommend the build your own plate. I like to get the grilled salmon (a la plancha) and 2 sides. The corn on the cob is a must and potatoes wedges are very well seasoned. It's right on the water so you get a nice view of the ocean and boats. The service is always quick and it can get pretty busy depending on the time of day.

For no reason it has been a while since our last visit. Today was a nice revisit. My wife enjoyed the shrimp tacos while I had fish sandwich. Service was very good, atmosphere was pleasant, and food top notch.
