Many are not aware of it but there is a seafood paradise in Los Angeles, California. The San Pedro Fish Market turns into heaven on earth for seafood lovers every Saturday morning.

Long before the sun rises, people head to San Pedro Fish Market with their ice chests and boots. People start arriving at 2am and by 3 business is at its peak. Fishing boats dock and are ready to sell their catch. Other fishermen even post signs of what they sell for the day while others simply display them on makeshift stalls. Meanwhile, free ice is offered to those who still have to travel and want to keep their seafood fresh.

It is like this at San Pedro Fish Market every Saturday. So even if you’re not an early riser, if you don’t get there you’ll miss the best deals on the freshest fish, shrimps, oysters, and other mouthwatering seafood.

The San Pedro Fish Market restaurant is one of the reasons why people drag themselves out of bed on Sundays. It is their own version of a food court where rows of picnic tables and chairs accommodate crowds of excited and hungry individuals.

Here you can find heaps of fresh fish like trout, catfish, snapper, sea bass, barracuda and many more. The best part is you get to choose your fish and then you can ask them to clean and fry it for you. Soon you’ll be feasting on a plate of your favorite fish with chili sauce for dipping.

Another treat – fresh oysters larger than what you find in most other markets. And of course you’ll find steaming crabs, lobsters and shrimp too. You can even order a seafood platter with a little bit of everything on it – shrimp, clams, and squid drizzled with mouthwatering sauce.

If you’re not a seafood lover, the restaurant also sells sandwiches and burgers too. You may also choose among fresh juice, soda, and even beer for refreshment to complete your sumptuous meal.

The San Pedro Fish Market is indeed one of the must-see places you have to visit in Los Angeles, California. Many families and friends have made it a tradition to come here every Saturday or Sunday morning. Come and down and see for yourself!
