San Pedro Fish Market and Restaurant

September 29, 2025

The paid parking is $20 on Saturdays. We just used metered parking a block away for $0.68. The harbor area of San Pedro is quite nice and safe. The San Pedro Fish Market is next to the LA Maritime Museum and not too far from USS Iowa Museum. So there's no actual fish market, it's a great place to enjoy fresh seafood (they offer hotdogs and burgers as well) with friends and family with live music. Most of the bench tables have good shades. Once we pick our table, there's a QR code to place order. 1. The fried calamari is good. 2. Our veggie mix and the shrimp a la plancha dishes were combined into one box. Interesting, maybe it's more practical or perhaps it was a mistake? 3. The crispy fried whole red snapper is fresh but it's a bit bland, we tried to compensate by adding salt and pepper. 4. Elote is quite good. 5. They messed up our order of Michelob Ultra with rimmed chamoy and gave us Michelada at first, which they corrected immediately. No big deal. Truly enjoy the live music and the ambience. Will come back with a bigger party and order the Harbor Tray.

Stumbled upon this place while driving past the area, and thankfully decided to stop by and try it. It is an absolute gem. The food, the vibes, the people, just amazing. There was a gigantic line that took 30 minutes to be let in on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere is unlike any restaurant I have ever been to. There is tons, and I mean an insane amount, of outdoor seating, each with a table number. You order and pay through your phone and the staff bring out the food to your table. The food comes out in droves, on huge trays that are just stacked with delicious seafood. I cannot even imagine how many thousands of pounds of food they produce every day. Everything is so fresh and delicious, and with huge portions too. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons they have open mic karaoke which is super fun. Waited another 40 minutes for the food but it was so worth it. 100% recommend trying this place out!

The San Pedro Fish Market in San Pedro is such a fun spot for seafood lovers! The atmosphere feels lively and relaxed, perfect for hanging out with friends or family while enjoying some seriously tasty food. The shrimp boil is definitely a highlight: perfectly seasoned, juicy, and loaded with flavor. It comes out hot and fresh, and the portion sizes are generous, so it’s great for sharing. You can really tell they know their seafood. One of the things I really love is how convenient their ordering system is. You can sit down, scan a QR code, and order everything right from your phone. It’s super easy and saves you from standing in line, which is a nice touch for a busy spot like this. And I can’t forget to mention their micheladas, they’re absolutely delicious! Refreshing, tangy, and perfectly balanced with the right kick. It pairs beautifully with the shrimp boil or really any of their seafood dishes. Overall, this place nails that coastal seafood vibe with great food, cold drinks, and smooth service. Whether you’re a local or just visiting the harbor, it’s definitely worth stopping by for a relaxed meal with ocean views.

Still as good as I remember it. It was definitely a lot of food. My wife had never had oysters so she wanted to try them and they were very tasty. You can never go wrong with the shrimp tray with the garlic bread! So good!! I’m glad this place is still around and we will definitely be back soon!

Man i wasn't impressed this time with the food. It took a while to get in. We waited almost 45 min when there were many seats available. For a Sunday afternoon I was shocked it was a long wait.. wow when did the platter cost so much we ordered the Shrimp and potatoes' platter with the fish...lol grateful scenery is good would come again but definitely hope I can be impressed next time. It used to be very alot better and wow less expensive.
