Fisherman's Outlet And Market

I hadn't been here for ages so I stopped by for lunch on a Wednesday. I was happy to see it so busy. There was a long line to order lunch. I went over to the other counter where they sell fresh fish to go and ordered a crab and shrimp salad and clam chowder. It was quick and good. I heated up the clam chowder as an appetizer for our Valentine's dinner! It was a hit! Skip the side of bread if getting the soup.

I've been eating at this joint since I was a child, so this review is overdue by a lifetime. To this day, I still order the same plate. My parents would buy this as a treat (back then it was a little over $10 and now the plate is $19.80); they would head out to DTLA to be there early when it opened because this place gets crowded and I would have it for dinner when I got home from school. Even reheated it was bomb. First off, if you've been here, you know this place doesn't even need a review. IFYKYK. All the locals know this place and if you work in DTLA, you know to get there early because of the lunch crowd. Now for the review of the noms... The fish and shrimp plate is my go to. As you can see, it comes with three pieces of fish and a handful of shrimp. The fish is fresh, never had any issues eating here. Also, you get fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw is a must it's my fave coleslaw. I always order an extra side of that. The combo plate also comes with cocktail sauce for the shrimp and tartar sauce for the fish. If you don't want the fries, they will sub out with another coleslaw. I haven't tried to sub the fries out for anything else. Everything in this combo is delish, it reheats well in the oven. Their New England clam chowder is also tasty. It comes with the crackers if you're into that vibe but I just have it plain. The pictured size is a small order. Now for the tips...You already saw to get there early if you go on a weekday. The line moves pretty fast. They do take credit cards but they will ID you. They have a parking lot with ample parking unless you happen to get there at a really busy time. I went on a Saturday and it was surprisingly dead. ‍ There is a bit of metered parking, just be aware of the transients around you. If you show up and there's a line and you contemplate the other fish joint about 1/2 to 1 block away, just keep your ass in line at this place. You'll be disappointed at the other joint. In sum, a lifetime of yumminess in my tummy. Go get your fish on. For those of you needing healthier options, just remember you don't get another life but you can go with some charbroiled options.

Saw something on Instagram about Fisherman's Outlet and it looked pretty damn good to me! Stopped by on a Saturday and thankfully the line went pretty quickly. Sometimes I feel like a fry-up, so I went with the deep fried fish and shrimp combo with rice. Well, they sure don't skimp on fish or shrimp, that's for sure! The fish was pretty good quality and the shrimp didn't disappoint. Very good fry-up. And for the price, it's quite worth it. Staff here and friendly and extremely efficient. If there's a line, don't worry because it goes super quick. Can't believe I've lived in L.A. for so long and never heard of Fisherman's Outlet until this year. Definitely need to come back!

Nostalgia hit hard when I came here. I hadn't been here in over 20 years. The restaurant has not changed, still packed with people, and small, yet efficiently quick with orders. The last time I came, one of my nursing school classmates hooked us up because her husband worked here. Over the years we lost contact, I did look to see if anyone working looked somewhat familiar, nonetheless I didn't recognize any aging faces. The food was exactly how I remembered it. Fish and shrimp plate with fries or rice, simple and delicious! Tartar sauce is a must for me. The Clam Chowder bowl is full of clams and yummy potato chunks. No matter how hot the day is, everywhere I go I have to try the Clam Chowder if it's offered. There's a parking lot behind the restaurant, street parking, and they also do phone orders if you want to do a drive by! Lol. Thank you for reading, now take a drive to downtown and have some fried shrimp!!

I visited this place last Thursday. 9/21/23. I ordered grilled shrimp with rice. The food didn't take that long to come out. The shrimp were cooked butterfly style and XL size. The food was all bland to my liking. However, they provide the Cajun sauce on the side alone with salt and pepper inside the utensil packet. I did not like the rice either just tasteless. We also ordered fried trio and that was tastier. Perhaps it was bc it was fried. All the food was fresh however. The Crab plate was huge! Again no taste you must add to it to make it right. In my opinion. The tables were clean outside. I saw a gentleman cleaning after people left.
