Crusty Crab Fish Market And - San Pedro

I visited San Pedro with the intention of going to a different restaurant, but the line was so lengthy that we decided to give the Crusty Crab a shot instead. I'm really glad we made that choice! The menu looks to be...

If you choose to come here instead due to the long wait at San Pedro Fish Market, just save yourself the disappointment of a subpar meal and head to another location in San Pedro.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on Saturday, and it was incredibly crowded! I found myself in line nearly at the entrance of the parking lot, and it took me about 30 minutes just to place my order.

The food quality and flavors were excellent. We ordered a shrimp plate that came with a generous portion of shrimp, which was buttery and had just the right amount of zing. The potatoes and vegetables complemented the shrimp perfectly. I even used the garlic bread to soak up the delicious juices left in the pan—so good! I would appreciate a better view of the harbor, but it is what it is at San Pedro Harbor. If you're looking for a nice view, consider the SPFM location in Long Beach instead.

Now, about the food: there was an abundance of shrimp, which I loved, while the fish was a bit overcooked for my taste. Overall, it had a fantastic atmosphere—perfect for family outings or a date! Just make sure to bring a jacket; it gets quite chilly inside!
