Eating at the BIGGEST SEAFOOD MARKET in CALIFORNIA (Live Lobsters & Crabs!)
Steve Cha (aka Rockstar Eater) takes an adventure to San Pedro by eating at the biggest seafood market in California: the San Pedro Fish Market and Restaurant. Since 1956, the San Pedro Fish Market is one of the oldest seafood markets in the US, and it is certainly the largest. The dining area can seat over 2,000 people! They are a famous attraction in Southern California, known for its fresh seafood which include live lobsters, crabs, shrimp, and fish. They are known specifically for their World Famous Shrimp Tray, which is a huge mountain of shrimp that is seasoned with Cajun butter, and stir fried!
So what does the biggest seafood market in California look like? Find out in this episode as Steve explores some of the best seafood in Los Angeles!

Steve, you are a rockstar!! San Pedro Fish Market isn't just a meal, it's a day-long adventure. Stop wasting your money on supermarket fish!! These guys really know their business and will prepare it and cook it for you. BTW, don't let the prices keep you away...those plates can feed 4 -6 people!! You don't have to get the ultra-deluxe plate-like Steve did. I get the clam chowder, a large shrimp cocktail, and a beer and I'm very satisfied. Great video, Steve!

That San Pedro Sea Foods Market is huge. I like sea foods a lot. I eat all kinds of sea foods on daily basis when I was growwa up. However, I have not eating any sea foods for years now because sea foods are very expensive at where I leave right now and sea foods are not easy to come by in this area.
Wow! Thanks for this video. This just made me put this on my bucket list 🙂

I went there after seeing the video a few days ago. It was a disappointment to say the least. The fish is not fresh, and the king crab leg is 3x cost compare to Costco. I was going to walk out but decided to go through it. They didn’t provide plastic gloves and crabs cracker- what a mess to eat Cajun prepared seafood! Others seems to enjoy it, but it was a terrible experience for me.

Another excellent upload. Seafood is very healthy and nutritious. I'm glad you made it to San Pedro, I have been to that San Pedro fish market twice, they have great fish and seafood. Some times they have a band playing. Great service! It's always a full house there. Highly recommend that fish market.

Can one get a small portion of shrimps? I like scallops, clams, mussels, lobster, king crab, parrot fish, grouper no salmon if farmed raise as their white stripe is broad meaning it has lots of Omega 6 causing gout and rheumatism. No corn if GMO. NO tomato and potato just garlic bread plus a bottle of white wine. That would be superb meal.
Nice selection. The prices are really high. It seems food prices in last few months going off the charts.
