Quality Seafood

Since 1953, this multi-level Redondo Beach market has provided Angelenos with a dizzying selection of cooked-to-order live seafood, plus an extensive collection of oysters from all over the Pacific waiting to be freshly shucked. Smaller stands inside Quality Seafood offer straightforward takes on fish and chips and the like, but the better move here is to order a mix of harder-to-find options at the market counter like purple sea urchin, live blue crab and locally caught rock cod. Your bounty will arrive perched in styrofoam trays, ready to be ferried to a nearby table or even to the beach just on the other side of the piery—and you can even order online if you’re in a hurry.
