    This is a very small, family owned fish market with attentive service. The fish is lightly coated and very lightly seasoned but the side dishes leave something to be desired. It's takeout only. The food was okay overall

    Jumbo Shrimp, Red Snapper, Oysters and fries
    Stephanie L.

    I have a usual fish spot, but J fish definitely comes a close second. The quality is good and their seasoning is top notch. Better to call in as it could take extra long to get your order. Parking lot is super small and full of pot holes. Be careful going in and out. Never tried their sides. Just the fries. The specials all have fries. A bit pricier froM what I remember

    Jumbo Fried Shrimp
    Alex C.

    A friend recommended this place to me and he said he never tried a "you buy, we fry" type of restaurant. It is located in a strip mall between a barber shop and another store. I went at night and it's very dark in the parking lot. I was greeted by a friendly and helpful gentleman. The menu is pretty straight forward and they have different side dishes (e.g., fresh fries, collard greens, hush puppies, potato salad and macaroni salad) and the combinations come with a roll. I ordered a side of 4 Jumbo Shrimp on the side. The first thing is the batter or coating on the fish and shrimp was very flavorful and crunchy. The fish and shrimp were fresh and the shrimp was properly cleaned. The hush puppies were fresh and did not taste like frozen ones I've had at other restaurants. The potato salad was fresh and tasty and I asked for a side of pickles, hot sauce, ketchup and tartar sauce. The whole dinner was so delicious and reasonably priced. I will definitely come back and look forward to trying out the greens and macaroni salad. Don't let the outside or surrounding neighborhood fool you. Some of the best food is in unassuming places.

    this is new menu and new prices at j fish market 2304 w rosecrans ave gardena california no e.b.t accepted take major cards like visa master card american express "tap" google pay and apple pay good deep fry fish i recommend it.

    Fish and shrimp

    Can't believe I've never reviewed this place! I have been coming here for sometime now, and typically it's pretty good. For a shrimp and fish combo with fries it's about $14.00. The shrimp could stand to be a little bigger but still pretty filling. The star for me is the tartar sauce it's soooooo good, I was a little disappointed this trip they didn't put any in the bag. The food is always fresh so it does take some time to prepare, If you can always call ahead or be prepared for a wait. There is tons of parking as there is several other businesses in the same parking lot.

No matter the name, this is my go-to spot for Japanese groceries and prepared food. The parking situation is actually pretty easy and flexible since it wraps around the entire building, so you can usually find a spot without too much hassle. Inside, the selection is great. You'll find a wide range of authentic Japanese ingredients, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals that actually taste like what you'd get in Japan. One underrated highlight is the sushi restaurant upstairs. It's legit and a great option if you want a sit-down meal after shopping. Overall, this place has been a staple for me, and it's one of those spots worth supporting. If you're looking for authentic Japanese food and groceries in the South Bay, I definitely recommend checking it out.

    I've lived close by for years and I gotta say, after coming to Quality Seafood twice (once in Nov…read more '25 and in March '26), I will definitely stop taking this South Bay gem for granted. I've only had the pleasure of having the following items below, but I'll be back in the coming years to try more. - Calamari [7.7/10]: regardless of what size you order, the portion is generous. This place doesn't overdue it with the batter and lets the flavor the fresh squid shine - which I adore. Only giving this dish its rating because there are a few Italian spots in Torrance that have my heart when it comes to the best calamari. - Fish Tacos [8.5/10]: Every bite gives a nice crunch of both batter and fish. I've had unpleasant experiences where I've had pockets of crispy batter, here the fish tacos are so great it actually doesn't need much support from lemon and/or tartar sauce. Be sure to order a couple of these bad boys during happy hour for $5 each. - Clam Chowder [8.3/10]: This place hits the mark on the texture of a classic chowder. Admittedly my cup could have used a touch of salt. I would have liked a bigger portion for what I paid for, but if you're in the mood for something hot to compliment your fried seafood - this is worth getting. This is also featured on the happy hour menu for $5 - Garlic Fries [10/10]: My favorite bite from this place so far. Not on the happy hour menu, but 100% worth getting and eating with your fish, shrimp, crab, lobster, etc. Perfect amount of seasoning and that white wet sauce on top is so so so addicting. The unsung hero of my most recent visit was Jose over at Station 20. In addition to taking my order, he single handedly called out orders for everyone by the dining the area during the end of happy hour rush. A whole wave of customers came in less than 10 mins I placed my order so I can only imagine how overwhelming things were on the service side of things. For my most recent visit, most of my order came in and my garlic fries came in last. I could tell there was a mix up in the kitchen, but Jose apologized and said a new order would be ready for me in less than 5. Definitely worth the delay/wait imo. Food is great. Seating is limited. Customer service is superb. But once you fish your food, you gotta take a long walk along the pier. It's a wonderful way to rejuvenate and make sure the quality seafood digests well. Can't wait to explore more of the menu, including the happy hour drinks.

    I've been coming to Quality Seafood for the past couple of years, usually on Fridays for fish…read moretacos, and I've ordered the same fish taco and shrimp taco combination 40 to 50 times. It has generally been a place I've enjoyed and recommended, which is why this stood out. There's always been some normal inconsistency in portion. Some days the fish is bigger, some days smaller. Same with the shrimp, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. That never bothered me. It's part of a busy seafood counter, and I've never felt the need to say anything. What I got today was different. The fish taco was on the small side and dry, but the shrimp taco was the issue. It was served fried, very dark, and overcooked to the point the shrimp was tough. When I opened it after a few bites, I realized I was mostly eating tortilla and toppings. There were only about three shrimp total, which is noticeably less than what I've consistently received here before. In prior visits, I've also been asked whether I want my tacos grilled or fried, including the shrimp, and I've consistently chosen the lighter, non-fried option. What I received today was not that. I approached the counter politely and simply said the taco wasn't good, pointing out the quality and portion issue. I wasn't trying to make a scene and I'm not someone who returns food, especially over something this small. I was more pointing it out so it didn't keep happening. I was told nothing could be refunded because I had taken a few bites, so I asked to speak with a manager. That's where this went sideways. Instead of listening, the manager immediately dismissed it. She repeatedly told me that what I described was "not possible," insisted they have never prepared shrimp any differently in her 27 years there, and said they only ever serve three shrimp. As someone who has ordered this exact item many times, I was essentially being told that my own experience did not happen. The conversation ended with me being asked to leave. I've worked in and managed restaurants. Mistakes and inconsistencies happen. This was a simple situation that could have been handled in seconds, either by replacing the taco or offering a refund. Instead, it was denied outright and escalated. This wasn't about a $5 taco. It was about how it was handled. Being told that your repeated experience is "not possible" and then being asked to leave is not an acceptable way to handle a reasonable concern.

Fish markets are a hidden gem that one usually finds in a certain type of city, away from the suburbs or more affluent and touristy areas. The best type of food, in my opinion, is simple food done expertly well, however my companion disagreed with me on this sunny Saturday afternoon, so we proceeded to present our points, which lasted a good hour and a half. By the end of our spirited discussion I was exhausted and hungry. I did not ask questions or for permission, hell I wasn't even listening to most of the conversation, I just instinctively drove to Bates Fish Market. In a city filled with Fish Markets, I've deduced that Bates is, pound for pound, the best fish market in the South Bay, and most of the locals would agree with me. Going to Bates is the epitome of simple food done expertly well, my apologizes for calling their food simple, seasoning is an art that not everyone is capable of pulling off successfully.

By the end of our meal, I had at least shown my companion that there was another side to her argument, albeit I didn't end up changing her mind.
