Los Angeles, CA

Best Seafood in Los Angeles.

Harry currently ranks 10 seafood spots in Los Angeles, scoring 85–98 on the Harry Score. 5 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$$$.

Freshness is not optional and cannot be disguised. Harry is not moved by the ice display or the chalkboard specials. He wants to know when the fish arrived and whether the menu is honest about what is frozen. A plate of chips next to mediocre fish is not a seafood restaurant — it is a consolation.
