Family Fish Market takes pride in offering a variety of options to satisfy all palates. Signature dishes include succulent red snapper, crispy catfish, and perfectly seasoned shrimp that is sure to transport your taste buds to seaside paradise. Notable mentions from customers highlight the flavorful house-made tartar sauce, which adds a delightful tang to any meal, and the unbeatable okra and mac n cheese—albeit, a couple of patrons have noted that the okra can be a bit on the salty side.

You don’t want to miss out on pairing your dish with the pickles and peppers that many repeat customers rave about, including Bre Hines, who raved about the sides being a must-try. Customers like Kunch Tyme have made this their go-to fish market, in part due to the variety and quality they can't seem to find elsewhere. The convenience of placing a phone order ahead of time is a game changer, allowing you to skip the long wait and dive into your feast as soon as you arrive.

After one visit, you might understand why Carlos H. kept coming back for over 20 years, noting, "good still tastes good". The enduring quality of the food has earned Family Fish Market a special place in the hearts—and stomachs—of its customers. Like Michelle Crisp fondly reminisces, the appeal of the variety and the ability to have it cooked fresh makes it a special outing to enjoy every week.

I ordered the 5 shrimp and 2 piece fish (red snapper) with the Mac n cheese and okra. I could not eat the okra because it was to salty. The fish and shrimp was great ! Loved it yummmy. The employees were super friendly !! Will return again soon

Hey you guys so this place gets really packed so I would call ahead because its a solid 23 minute wait. The red snapper was so good and seasoned and the shrimp was really good too.. but that tartar sauce is made in house or something because its really good make sure you get that. And make sure you grab them pickles and peppers . I will definitely be going back.

Family Fish has long been my favorite fish market in the Los Angeles area. The catfish, oysters, and slaw are great, and I've been phoning in my orders for many years, despite living in various cities and counties. My church and many friends are right around the way!

Have been going here for over 20+years good still taste good. But the phone service can be a little annoying at times when you call. Update →(concerning the annoying comment, the girl that was working there is now gone and making a phone order is much easier now) But honestly it's much better to place your order over the phone and driving down to pick it up. Because it takes at least 15-20 minutes for your order to be cooked if you order at the market. Looking at some of the reviews concerning the pricing I just updated the pictures with the new menu prices since the pics on Google maps were the older menu prices that people would assume they are correct if it's your first time going. Hopefully these new menus will help those looking to place a phone order but unsure of the prices! Enjoy

One of the things that I miss most about leaving California, besides the weather and my family. My family used to eat here every Friday for decades. I love and miss this place so much. If you live in a state that doesn't touch the ocean or isn't near it, all they eat is catfish...bleh. The variety here and the fact that they cook it for you...you can't beat it!
