San Pedro Fish Market

Today we took the family and joined my parents and brother at the SPFM (refer to title of blog). Special occasions always merit good eating. Needless to say, several pounds of shrimp and a poor big fish later we were very satisfied. If you dare venture to the SPFM here are a few tips...
1) don't expect to eat right away 2) bring your own tapatio, or else you'll have to buy your own 3) bring some "wet-naps" or in our case we used baby wipes 4) bring some patience 5) don't sit too close to the karaoke set-up (which we'll see if David has any long term hearing impairments down the road) 6) bring cash...oh yeah, bring LOTS OF CASH 7) if you see a table, sit down think later 8) you must order the shrimp and bread, you'll be surprised how fast one loaf gets scarfed 9) don't worry about looking like a caveman while eating, look around...everyone is up to their elbows in the sauce 10) abandon all notions of using a fork.
If I can think of any other tips I will add them. If you want good, fresh seafood stop at the SPFM at least once while in LA.
Oh yeah, I forgot...if you're looking for a way to pay for the food, just have your daughter go up to sing her heart out at the karaoke station and she can score some cash from the on lookers. They're usually drunk, but I'll take a few extra bucks for a few minutes of karaoke. They must be between the ages of 7-14, the on lookers are more willing to give money if they're young and cute for trying.
Hopefully this was helpful.
