Came here on a Friday at 5pm. Like that they closed later. Parking in the back lot. Called in to see if they had what I needed they answered quickly. On the smaller size but everything looked fresh. Got the catfish they were big and in similar size for one was almost 25$. They chopped it up for me. It was really fresh and had a good amount to feed a family of 5. Overall would come again. read more

My family was having party, we use to go this place since I was young, it use to be real clean place, cheap as well, but the oyster is not it, it was smell so bad, I mean it's seafood of course but it taste old and it was good oyster. i spoken to manager in person but since I've throw away the oyster they cant refund me my money? Why sell bad oyster? People can end up in hospital, this is serious stuff, I'm waiting for call back from heath department, about this situation, because this not okay, if the manager would've gave my refund, this wouldn't have happen, but I'm not the only one that went through this read more

Rainbow Seafood Market - Bad smelly oyster - Seafood Markets Near Me - Long Beach, California

The service is always good when I shop here, great prices and good selection; my go to when I get ready to prepare gumbo for my family!

It's been a very long while since I've been to Rainbow Seafood Market. Really--last time was when they were located on Long Beach Boulevard, which was over 4 years ago. What brought me here today was two different seafood markets were out of oysters. I also just happened to call ahead and confirm they had a case available. Lucky me, I claimed their last box. I like this Pine Ave location better than their Long Beach Boulevard store. There's a lot less clutter and miscellaneous merchandise. Beware this place is also very small and tight inside. Markers are on the floor to enforce social distancing and masks are required to enter. One wall is a complete array of sauces and spices. Produce availability is limited to your basic cilantro, tomatoes, lime, onions, etc.. I came specifically for the oysters, and they had it. Quality was fresh. Not a single bad one in the bunch. A case is 60 count for $60. read more

Been going to my auntie for years fresher oysters in town thank you guys for you're great hospitality

Just to be clear, we hardly ever buy seafood, here or anywhere (not a huge fan of non-sushi fish, and seafood I do like, like scallops and lobster, have gotten just so expensive.) So when this place opened down the street from us, I wasn't that excited. Yes, they do have a good range of clearly high quality seafood for... let's say, pretty reasonable prices - it's not Grocery Outlet, but they're not gonna rip you off on anything, especially considering the quality. (I've purchased seafood here exactly once, when we realized we only had a couple days to use an Amex deal they qualified under - $14 a pound scallops, but restaurant quality for sure.) But when the pandemic started, and we stopped going to the grocery store as often, we started really missing having as convenient access to fresh produce (since we weren't buying fresh groceries as often), until my wife pointed out: we have a little market across the street, they sell some produce, let's try their produce! So we did, and now we're hooked. No, their produce is clearly not their main purpose, so they don't have a lot of variety, but what they do carry, weirdly, is just *way* better quality than mainstream grocery stores. Incredibly flavorful carrots, giant juicy onions, perfectly ripe potatoes, and perfectly fresh peppers (bird's eye and jalapenos) are now things we buy here quite frequently, now that we know! Just wish they had more produce variety, since everything they do carry is so good! More expensive than the grocery store, too, but, sometimes it's worth paying for quality. (That and cause they're down the street, but also regardless.) They also have a fairly small but well-curated selection of spices and sauces and things, again clearly designed to be accompaniment for their seafood, but they have one specific brand of hot sauce I love that I don't really ever see in grocery stores (El Yucateco - discovered it at a restaurant), for like two bucks, so I'm not complaining too much! All super friendly people there, too - only other tiny complaint is they have a $10 card minimum, which is a lot harder to hit if you're buying produce and hot sauce than if you're buying fish, so I usually end up having to pay cash. Still worth it! (And I do need to try more of their seafood, too, sometime.) read more

It may be during weekends, unfortunately the fish look unlikely to be fresh. I didn't buy anything and left the store. I'll try to go there during weekdays next time. read more

Love this place. Fresh seafood. Nice people. Hard to find items. Overall my go to for mariscos. Hidden gem. Can't wait to come back.

I've been trying to find a fresh seafood market, and I found it best oysters fresh and delicious if I'm driving from Hemet to Long Beach to pick up these oysters, you know they're really delicious and the customer service is really nice read more

We have been a long time customer of the seafood market, prior to them changing ownerships. We had purchased small bag of oysters and we notice half of the oysters was bad after we cooked it on the grill. We had contacted the market and they demand that we bring the bad oysters back to them same day. We explained to them that we had made the purchase and was not able to bring back the oysters due to the event we were attending. They said they were not able to do anything since we did not bring it small day. We wanted to let them know that the batch they had received was bad. They were unprofessional on how to deal with the situation. They should know that bad seafood cause a bad reaction to our health. read more

Just an FYI... This establishment moved several years ago so the photos I used in my original review are a bit out of date and obviously doesn't reflect their new setup. Was a neat little store back when I lived practically next door. Hope the new location is working out. read more

What a wonderful seafood market. It's family run and the selection is fantastic. There is a wonderful selection of fresh fish, but there is some really great stuff in the freezer. Some people don't know this, but much of the seafood we buy at even the fanciest stores arrive frozen-so you can enjoy much of the same without the middle person AND support a local business by swinging by here. Open 7 days a week. So if you don't a fancy selection without the fancy price-check it out. read more

This place is the absolute best for seasonal seafood at an amazing price. I was recommended to this place by my housemate who used to reside nearby and would always buy their oysters. Even though I live in Santa Ana, I would drive all the way here. Worth the 25-30 min drive. Awesome selection and such a diverse option of seafood. It looks like they recently renovated so the shopping experience is amazing compared to other shops. They also sell awesome produce, including large, quality avocados and sometimes cherimoya aka sour sop. Not sure who the lady at the register was but she was beyond sweet. Not often you get such personable customer service. Note that they do not cook or fry your fish here. read more

I found my octopus here... expensive...but well worth it. Lots of frozen seafood. A few shelves of miscellaneous chips, can goods, vegetables and stuff. Good seafood though. Can't complain there. read more

Great selection on seafood, the seasoning used to fry your choice of meat is always spot on. Best fried baby octopus I have tried. Good price point for what the quality read more

My dad used to come here all the time when her store was on pacific ave. We were sad to find out she closed, but with the help of yelp, I was able to reunite us again! We thought she was gone, but she just moved!!! Whenever you need oysters in bulk, come here! It is affordable and the oysters are sooo HUGE!!! Omg, I'm drooling just thinking about them. I love oystersss!!!!!!!! read more

Okay, I have only been here a couple times, and each time was for their oysters. I normally have a different go to spot, specifically because they are around the corner to my house. But that place has let me down to the point I found this gem of a supermarket. While the supermarket is small and you really only have street parking. They have always had oysters available, even on busy holidays. I buy oysters by the case, which is perfect for grilling. I think they have wonderful customer service for the few times I been there. They bring out the oysters (that's in a big box) and roll it out to your car. Other places don't do that. Also, I wanted to add that today when we went, we actually arrived after they had closed. They were literally outside of the store locking their doors. However, they opened back their doors and still allowed us to buy a case. (And even though they were closed, they still wheeled out the oysters and helped us put it in the car.) they did not rush us. If this isn't amazing customer service, then I don't know what is. This place has literally became my go to spot for oysters anytime of the year. read more

Thieves. After charging my debit card woman claims that it didn't go through. I immediately check my account before allowing her to charge me again and of course the transaction was there. She took back my fish and told me to call the police. Just go to Vons this place is a joke and they seem very apprehensive of people of color with debit cards. read more

I went here for sushi-grade salmon, and it was fresh and yummy! The prices are astonishing when you think of how much money you spend on a sushi roll at a restaurant--I'm never ordering sushi again! The staff was friendly and informative. Will definitely be going back on a regular basis! read more

This place has good frozen seafood selection compared to lbc seafood and the live. If you want king crab legs, premium grade sashimi and sauces or cilantro or chili to top your seafood. Limited parking accepts ebt. read more

Love this little market. Fresh seafood. Their yellow ribbon oyster is so good and their grilling oysters and bloody clams are plump and delicious. My go to store for seafood. Everyone there are super friendly and helpful. They even help you take the items to your car. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem. The prices are amazing and the selection of sea food is awesome and fresh! They will even filet any piece of fish you choose! I love the small produce and seasoning section they have so that you dont have to make that extra trip to the grocery store. read more

Great fish! Not sure I would go at night time. Parking is limited. Great family ran business.

This is by far the best (and cheapest!) place I have found to buy fresh seafood in Long Beach. Forget the fancily organized display at Whole Foods, with the strategically placed kale garnishes and astronomically expensive fillets--this is the real deal. Buried under piles of crushed ice, presentation be damned, the majority of the fish are whole and are scaled and gutted (and filleted, I would assume) to order. I bought a couple of red snapper here for less than $10 and they were wonderful. They also have a number of different kinds of shrimp, including ones with the heads, shells, tails and antennae (I, for one, like heads on my seafood) that were around $3-4/lbs. and were quite sweet and tasty. If you want to cook yourself up a delicious seafood feast on the cheap, this is the place to go. read more

This place is s fish pit! and smells like it too. Really there was not much selection as other posters have mentioned. Basically shrimp odd things most people don't eat like octopus. Not much of the more main stream fair like Lobster, Salmon or Swordfish. It is a typical Asian market in a nondescript area of Long Beach. It's dirty, it's smelly and the service is very rude and pushy. read more

This place is nice and been going here for years, but they don't accept Amex so it's inconvenient for me to switch cards and that's why I have to give them an average 3 star. Customers aren't always right I guess. read more

After reading some good reviews, I decided to give this place a try. Maybe everything else they sell here is fresh, idk but I will say that the oysters I got from here was all bad. Very disappointed read more

Literally have had everything I ever needed. Great service & great people! Multiple types of fresh fish & different shrimp options. Also, a great assortment of frozen seafood. They will even cook your food for you. Let them know how you like it and they'll whip up in the back. This is by far my favorite seafood market in the Long Beach area. read more

Nice ppl friendly staff however the oysters we bought were old. So I won't be returning

Following Willy's review recommendation....I was looking for a great place to buy fish....this place is awesome! Very clean, inexpensive and a lot of fresh fish of all kinds. If you are looking to buy some fish and want to save $$$ versus paying way more at the other supermarkets, try Rainbow Seafood Market! Wish I knew this place was around a long time ago. read more

Very good, great prices! A little off the shi-shi path, so not for the faint of heart ;) Picked up some Louisiana catfish for a great price, and they filleted it for me right there! They even let me keep the head (for soup stock). I'll be going here again. read more

Good prices, nice fish, a little sketchy looking and not the greatest neighborhood, but overall a good experience.

Rainbow Seafood Market has really good fish the people who work there are very nice not only do the sell fish they have chips and cookies and spaghetti and sauce candy drinks veggies that are Good for you read more

Fresh & cheap. It's off LB blvd near downtown LB. Not the prettiest neighborhood so dont expect anything fancy.

This place gave me oysters that weekend old and had worms . It is a f grade in my book

Got some good quality shrimps here. I think the prices are pretty decent. It was $11 for a little over a pound of fresh green shrimp. Made some tasty ceviche with it. Never knew about this place because it's kinda hidden. read more
