San Pedro Today

We are the largest Fish Market/Restaurant in Southern California with seating for 2,000 and over 10,000 visitors a weekend. We draw seafood lovers from all over the country, from every walk of life and every demographic. Take a look at our Facebook, Yelp and YouTube pages and see for yourself. We co-host the World's Largest Lobster Festival drawing tens of thousands of visitors to San Pedro every year since 1999. We've been awarded a Guinness World Record for our work on the Lobster Festival. We were privileged to host Grammy Award-winner Mumford & Sons on their Railroad Revival Tour, which also drew thousands into San Pedro. We employ over 100 local residents with starting pay well above minimum wage while also offering healthcare, 401k and paid vacations. For hundreds of local kids, San Pedro Fish Market was their first job. Many have come back to thank us for the invaluable lessons of hard work and responsibility that carried them into successful careers as doctors, teachers, nurses, attorneys, accountants, longshoremen, police officers, POLA workers and even as an L.A. City Councilman. We support many local organizations in San Pedro, including the Boys and Girls Club, Mary Star, Holy Trinity and POLA High School. We are moving to make San Pedro nationally synonymous with fine seafood by launching our World Famous Shrimp Trays into retail stores. As of Feb 1, 2013, San Pedro Fish can be found in over 400 grocery stores across four states. We have always been very modest about our accomplishments and charitable contributions, preferring to remain anonymous without seeking acknowledgment. However, I now believe it's important for the community to know what we've done. Not because we need a pat on the back or a thank you, but rather because so many of our family members are no longer here to tell these stories...and they need to be told. There are many desperate to make changes to the waterfront, to improve it, to make it a world destination.
