Best Seafood in Los Angeles.
Harry's top 10 seafood spots in Los Angeles score 78–98 on the Harry Score. 4 carry critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$$$.
Los Angeles seafood splits along the harbor. San Pedro is still a working port, and its fish market has been slinging shrimp off ice since the fifties — you eat off a tray under fluorescent light, and that's correct, not a compromise. Everywhere else, the real test is the mariscos truck: a shrimp cocktail in a styrofoam cup, a tostada piled with shrimp, a salsa that's clearly been reducing since morning. Harry doesn't care about the dining room. He cares whether the fish tasted like it left the dock that day.
