9/15 update: Haven’t been here in two years can’t say what was permanently removed and what stayed. Hope it’s a great experience as it use to be 5 years ago.Old:You seriously have to be here an hour before they open which is 10am. Otherwise you are in a line that exceeds 1 mile and last over 40 minuets . NO JOKE. Specially during a Saturday. This location has definitely changed since a few years back with all the reconstruction and demolition of half of what once was there. I really do look forward to seeing how this section of San Pedro will look like once it is complete.

I like getting their clam chowder and fish and chips. It's usually less crowded than the Fish Market side and food is ready at a decent time. It's nice to watch the boats set out from here. Even cruise ships pass through here. They have mariachi bands too that come around and play music.

Came to San Pedro to go to another restaurant, but the line was so long we decided to try the Crusty Crab instead. I'm glad we did! The menu appears to be the same as SPFM but the line was significantly shorter.We arrived after the lunch hour on a Saturday. The line started at the parking lot and took about 40 minutes to get up to the window to order. You order at the counter while viewing the beautiful, fresh fish in the case. They give you a number and then you find a seat. Our number was called pretty quickly. One downside is that there is a separate line for drinks. Had we known better, we would divide and conquer once inside with one of us remaining in the food line and one getting drinks. Live and learn. Food quality and flavors are great. We had a delicious shrimp platter that had so much shrimp. It was buttery and a little spicy. The potatoes and veggies were a great complement to the shrimp. I even used the garlic bread to sop up the juices remaining in the pan. Delicious!!I'd love a better view from the dock, but it is San Pedro Harbor. If you're going for a view, go to SPFM Long Beach location instead.

Came here for lunch on Saturday and wow so packed with people! I stood in line basically where the parking lot starts, and it took 30 min to order and another 20 to actually get it. After you order they give you a buzzer to come back and get it from the window. They were super packed and communal seating so I was sharing tables with 2 other couples. The food: SO MUCH SHRIMP and a couple of fish. I much prefer the shrimp over the fish. The fish was a bit overdone. Great vibe and nice place for family or a date! Bring a jacket, it's cold!

Too bad this place will be closing down for a couple of years for remodel/rebuild. That's why we went. Will miss it. The best seafood! And so much on your plate! I had 3 meals from my $24 combo plate! Plus we had a good time. There were a couple of thousand folks there...becuz they are closing down...so the wait time was over an hour. But they handled it so well. Will be watching for the grand reopening!

This place is a really good place to get lunch, dinner or whatever. You can their trays or order your own tray of mix andatch seafood of your liking. I've also tried their clam chowder which they make here and it was Awesome. They do not add a lot of potatoes like other places and the taste is nice and rich.

Went here on a Saturday. Two hours wait to get food. Next to the port which smelled like sewage. Pretty good Prices. Great deal on the Combo Plate comes with Garlic Bread looks really good.
Came here Monday afternoon after Christmas. Very long line but worth the wait. We ordered thr combo platter. It comes with shrimp, fish, 2 garlic bread, potatoes, onions, bell peppers and tomatoes. We only put a dent in it by finishing maybe half. Lots of people ordered the fish and there's fast food also. We ordered a liter of clam chowder to go. Crackers were provided too.

For the combination plate with an extra half pound of shrimp for 2 people. It was way more than enough food. We got there pretty early on a Sunday and there was barely a wait. You can order food inside the fish market or outside at the window. The food was delicious. You can order lemons and hot sauce separately.

This is such a fun experience and is one of my favorite places to get fish. I know the fish is fresh since you can pick it yourself. I love that the location is right on the port. Most of the service is pretty so-so since it's either self-service or the actual cooking of your meal. Being on the water is worth the experience to me though, even if the seagulls try to intimidate you a bit. It isn't the cleanest outdoor restaurant, but it sure is fun and has a lot of other activities and places around. Watch out for the agua frescas though, because they are more expensive than you would ever think-- but they sure are tasty when you're dehydrated from a day in the sun.

If you want to eat something really fresh go to San Pedro Crusty Crab!Where you can choose a fish and they cook it for you at the moment. The wait time for food delivery is fast when it is something fresh like oysters. if you choose a grilled or fried fish it is between 15 minutes to 30 minutes. They also have many options for kids, like burgers or fries.
