Fresh fried fish and seafood options, good size portions and great price! I used to come here at least 2 times a week when I worked in the Carson area. We've since moved to Hawaii and introduced our kids to Family Fish. Definitely added to our MUST GO food stops whenever we come back to visit our family in Cali! There are lunch and dinner combo specials that won't break the bank! read more

Family Fish Market - Dinner special with Fried catfish, hush puppies, fries and sliced white bread. Contents messy because box flipped - Seafood Markets Near Me - Carson, California

This was my first time trying Family Fish! There were plenty of patrons waiting for orders,and waiting in line to order. Ordering was quite easy and quick. I ordered filet of sole,ypu get two sides, unfortunately they offer hush puppies as a side,instead of including it as part of the combo,so I chose hush puppies and potatoe salad,with filet sole cooked med,if you don't specify, it will be hard and crunchy and you won't be able to taste any fish,just a word of caution! The fish I gave the three stars for,it was very good and cooked with clean grease and as I specifies medium. The potatoe salad didn't care for it,potatoes were too hard, and not really much seasoning. Then they enclosed these two slices of white cheap sandwhich bread that was stale or old,either way it was disgusting! In the trash it went! And that's why I gave only three stars. I would go back but only for their fish. This is only my opinion, they definitely have a following, so the community love it and that's all that matters lol! By the way this is not a dine in establishment, you order to go. So now you have it! Service was great,they are very friendly, and seem to have quite a few regulars, as they were greeted by first names. read more

This place has been around from what I can tell from the locals, but I wouldn't know as this was my first visit here. Location: in a shopping center across the street from Dignity Stadium in Carson. Plenty of parking although shared with other businesses. Food: I got the #1 lunch special with your choice of fish and two sides. I chose to go with french fries and hush puppies although I probably should've gone for the potato salad instead of the hush puppies. The catfish was perfectly fried, well seasoned and not overly fried. The fries were slightly salty, but crisp and not soggy, which was a godsend, especially coming from mom and pop shops. My one gripe with this whole dish was the hush puppies. Although nice and crisp on the outside, they were kind of small and I only got three hush puppies.3!!!!! if you're gonna give me small hush puppies at least give me a decent amount not just three. And if you're gonna give me three at least make them.bigger than the size of a gumball. While there is no seating on the inside and no AC, the service was good although the pick up system was a bit confusing for some of us. The smell of frying foods in that small shop can be overwhelming for some and a couple of us walked outside the door just to get some relief from all that oil smell. No drinks are offered here, so bring your own. Strictly a pick up and go shop, so if you're crunched for time, call your order in. Pricing is better than most, although considering what I got, I think I should've gotten more out of those hush puppies. What wasn't a comforting thought was one customer came in to make a complaint about a food item he said was not fully cooked. I didn't have such an issue with my fish, so to each their own. Would I come back? I might because the fish fry was top-notch. The sides, maybe not so much except for the fries. I want to make a second trip with a different kind of fish or shrimp combination to see if anything changes or if the quality remains the same. read more

Family Fish Market - Lunch Special with catfish, fries and 3 hush puppies. Stingy with the hush puppies - Seafood Markets Near Me - Carson, California

It's in a little shopping center and there was ample parking. Each person who ordered before me and after me, requested "no salt"‍. I ordered catfish, fries and coleslaw with a side of hush puppies. The fish was delicious, maybe a tad salty. The fries were very soggy by the time I got back to my office. My colleague liked the taste, but I don't like soggy fries. Maybe a different container would help. The hush puppies are very small, but tasty. My complaint is the coleslaw. It has RAISINS!!!! Ugh! Overall, a decent spot. I'd definitely return. The menu says they have macaroni salad, but they don't, at this time. And there is no eat in option. read more

Ordered jumbo shrimp from Family Fish Market today. Drove home to the beach to only to get unclean shrimp! They still had the vein inside the shrimp! I called and spoke with Preston who said he would get back to me. Well of course poor customer service. The sad thing is I've been a customer for close to forty years since I was raised in Carson. I will be looking for another place sorry in Carson. read more

Fresh, fast and fire! Our go-to big family order is 4 lbs of red snapper and 3 lbs of jumbo shrimp, and trust me... it's plenty of food to fill us up and still have delicious leftovers. Everything is seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection every time. Tonight, I finally had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Jeff, and he was very hospitable and welcoming. The young man who took my order over the phone and rang me up was just as polite and efficient -- great customer service all around. If you're in the Carson area and craving quality seafood with top-tier service, Family Fish is the spot! 10/10 Highly Recommend. read more

Family Fish Market - 4lb Red Snapper, 3lb Jumbo Shrimp - Seafood Markets Near Me - Carson, California

I've been coming here for years, so this one really surprised me. I ordered 6 pieces of catfish and 15 jumbo shrimp, and honestly, I was not impressed with my order tonight. One of the "jumbo" shrimp was tiny, and the fish is not the same size as before. I spent $44.23 on this meal, and for that price I expected the same quality and size they've always had. I will say the food seemed less oily than before, but something about the taste and flavor feels different now maybe a new recipe or a different cook, I'm not sure. Either way, it just didn't hit like it used to. I'm kind of disappointed to say I don't think I'll be coming. read more

I know this establishment has longevity and great reviews. However, I really wish I had that same experience. My husband ordered a dinner with catfish, oysters, fries and potato salad. I ordered lunch with fries, potato salad and a 10 piece shrimp. We drove home to Redondo Beach and discovered stale fries. They ran out of potato salad and they didn't give us the shrimp. I called and reported the issue. They said normally I would need to bring all the food back to get a refund. But who calls to report stale fries? Thr bread didn't seem fresh either. We'll take a loss on the meals. Will not return. Maybe it was a one-time situation but first impressions are lasting impressions good or bad. The fish itself was okay, nothing special. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Family Fish Market for over 10 years+. For most of that time, this was my go-to spot, and I would visit at least once a month. However, last year's visit left me disappointed, and today confirmed that I will never return. I ordered the 20-piece shrimp and tilapia combo with coleslaw, red snapper (fried hard), and macaroni salad, as well as a side of fillet. Unfortunately, the quality has completely gone downhill. The shrimp and tilapia were salty, soggy, and overly greasy. The fries, which I specifically asked to be crispy, arrived limp and soggy. The macaroni salad tasted sour, and the fillet was both fishy and salty. While the flavor was there, the overall execution and quality were severely lacking. It's heartbreaking to write this because I absolutely loved this place and used to rave about it. But after today's experience, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. Family Fish Market has lost its touch and a loyal customer. We ended up tossing our food Waste of $55 hurts my soul! I absolutely don't like wasting food read more

Best Fish Market in LA City! Go argue with yo maw not me! Everything fresh and great service and food is made to order!

Family Fish Market has very fresh fish. They will even fry it for a fee. However you can buy it raw. The service is customer friendly and the call in orders are usually fast as they can be quite busy at times. I have been going for over 30 years. I highly recommend the fried fish. P.S. It is take out only, read more

Best fish ever. Very fresh keeps the place clean prices are affordable. Hush puppies are great as well

I had a dissapointing experience with Family Fish in the past. However, after an extended vacation from Family Fish, I gave grace, and decided to give it a try again. In February, I purchased red snapper, and I was very disappointed again; the fish was not flavorful at all (bland.) Family Fish has for over 10 years been my go to fish market, and seems to have lost its special touch; therefore, I have decided to patronize alternative fish eatries in the community. I doubt if I will ever go back. read more

Food so good. It's cooked fresh and we're all willing to wait. Tip-Call your order in for pick up. We always get catfish, giant shrimp and an oyster jar for $35. read more

This was one of my favorite spots until this saturday around 12pm. I ordered (2) combination plates at $20 each and 1 pd of Jumbo Shrimp totally $70. My phone order consisted of Perch and when i arrived for pick up, i noticed there were none in the display. I asked Jeff (mgr) where's the Perch and he told me "the Tilapia was Perch. I couldn't believe what i heard so i asked again and he repeated himself without eye contact. I didn't have time to debate so when i arrived home i goggled it and it absolutely was not considered the same fish. I called and ask for the mgr (Jeff) and told him i just left. Jeff got on the phone and offered and immediate appology for lying to my face twice (i felt so disrespected) and offered a replacement. I told him i live to far and ask that he not lie to any future customer about fish people order. If you don't have the fish when customers are ordering just let them know so we can choose what we want. I hate tilapia and just through the fish away. read more

Still the best fish market around. Folks travel from near and far to get fish from Family Fish Market. You can get catfish steaks, filet sole, and individual sweet potato pies. All orders come with a good amount of hot sauce, tarter say, pickles and peppers. Fish is fresh, not smelly, and seasoned mildly. read more

Family Fish Market - #1 Combo - Fish, Shrimp, Oyster, Hushpuppies with double potato salad and bread - Seafood Markets Near Me - Carson, California

Stopped here randomly after getting my dog vaccinated since it's somewhat close by. Called for pick up on a Friday at 10:03am and I can tell this place gets busy. Nicely asked me if I can hold, waited only like 2 min he was taking an order from a walk in. While on hold the phone rang again for another pick up order ! This place must be good! Greeted right when I walked in, got here like 15 min to early so I didn't expect it to be ready. I ordered the cat fish, shrimp with macaroni salad and cole slaw. I wanted fries but fried fish at 10am was already a lot lmfao I'm trying to be a little bit cautious of my arteries . Also cute little spot, very clean, no seating area so it's pick up only. It didn't smell fishy when I walked in which is great! The smell of uncooked seafood can be overbearing. Food: Catfish -Seasoned and fried perfectly ! The tarter sauce is bomb as well. More on the sweet side which is great. Shrimp- med size, seasoned and fried perfectly as well. Hush puppies- ain't nothing hush about these! realllyyy good! Should've ordered more Macaroni salad- it's decent but I liked the Cole slaw better, it has raisins in it but I don't mind, some people hate raisins in there Cole slaw Everything was really good and the service was great! They charge an extra 50 cents if you use a card, so bring cash if you want to avoid that fee. read more

Always fresh and delicious! Prices are reasonable, service is great. Fish is well seasoned.

When one orders a catfish steak cut plate, they expect steak cut catfish and not catfish nuggets. Also, my order had coleslaw when macaroni salad was requested. Bait & switch plate! read more

I will start by saying this. I have been going to family fish market for YEARS..as far as I can remember. At least for 25+ years. I would always go with my grandmother and she would order the same thing I order now Fried Catfish tail dinner fried hard with 2 sides. Actually, I prefer to come to this market instead of going to Anne's fish marked down the street because FFM almost always have catfish tail in stock and when Anne's would have it, they would say "oh we can't sell you the tail because we have a customer that likes to buy the catfish whole" (crazy. I know) Anywho, Family Fish Market used to be so flavorful and delicious however after my purchases in the last few months and most importantly, this week, I don't think I will be purchasing from there any longer. I ordered by phone a Fried Catfish tail dinner that came with 5 pieces (that's a lot and I love that part) and I asked for it to be cooked hard which means fried a bit longer, maybe 5 minutes longer. Then I was told it would take about 20 minutes. Well I arrive to pick up my order 35 minutes later and it's not ready. Ok, no worries because good food takes time right? Cool so I wait...and wait...and wait and I don't end up leaving the store until at least 45 minutes after I placed my order...ridiculous. With my catfish, my sides were French fries and macaroni salad. I promise you everything was bland as if salt never touched any of my food. Not the fish fry, not the French fries and not the macaroni salad. Nothing had seasoning which is disappointing because the fish was fried to perfection! But who is eating fried fish with NO seasoning in or on it?? Certainly not me! Family Fish Market has dropped the ball with the quality of their product as of late and it sucks because going here brings back so many memories from when I was a child. Do better. read more

The food is pretty good. The service is good. It is not a dine in establishment. You get in , you get out. When I go there it is usually crowded. read more

Super tasty shrimp and fish. Been going here for YEARS. Always fresh. The owners are friendly and food is always HOT. The lunch specials are the best. Very reasonably priced fish and shrimp combos. I go for the fish and shrimp lunch special. I also grab a 20 piece shrimp for 8 or 9 dollars. Such a great deal. This is Def enough for 2 people to share. They also have a 40 piece shrimp in medium and large that can feed a family. Be sure to say "well done" when you order to make sure everything is crunchy and cooked thoroughly. If in Carson, CA definitely try Family Fish Market read more

This spot used to be my go to fish place at minimum of once a month and occasionally twice a month. However the last three times the fish hasn't been cooked correctly. They overcooked the fish. The shrimp, unless you order the jumbo shrimp, you are given small size shrimp that barely look like shrimp. Also, in addition to the food being overcooked, you're missing items. I do hope that they fix their issues because I really did enjoy their food up until now. They have a great location, (sure they could use a facelift as it is a little outdated) which is only going to get busier with the upcoming Olympics as they are right across the street from the dignity center where a lot of athletes will be training. I have turnover in the staff. I'm not sure if that's the problem or whether they're under a different management. But I really hate to see a neighborhood business slip on the quality. I hope I have a chance to come back and write another review in the near future that will be a positive one all the best to you family fish market. I haven't given up on you yet. read more

I've lived in the area for years and going to FFM off-and-on. The reason is because the flavor of the fish is "hit and miss". I guess it depends on who cooks it or how the day goes, but don't always think it will be flavorful. In the "fish only" order, the pieces are extremely small now. For the cost, I would recommend another fish market to purchase fish and fry it yourself. read more
