E & J Seafood - Super salty fish plate - Seafood Near Me - Inglewood, California

Craving some fired fish ordered the red snapper and fried shrimp. That fish was season breeded and fried by someone who was born to do it. Golden seasons moist pieces of heaven. Normally when i get fish and chips it those big steak fries and i love them. They didn't have those they were the reg fries. You know when Mickey D's had their old fries and you'd pick limp one out and it would have all that oil jiuice they use to be my favorite. That's how E j fries their fries. The shrimps their jumbos are actually that and fried and seasoned just as well as their fish. The yams i heard were good here also. We called and ordered ahead. Good customer service over the phone and in person def pleasant. The potato salad not my fav i didn't enjoy it. For myself it needed more flavor more mayo . I'm not into sweet potato salad. But I'm come back for that snapper!!! read more

E & J Seafood - Red Snapper Lunch Special - Seafood Near Me - Inglewood, California

I don't know HOW this place has four stars. I felt like I was eating from someone's house who I know doesn't take pride in cleanliness and quality. I couldn't do it. Had to throw everything out. The first thing I noticed was my crumbled peices of fish and shrimp on a regular generic brand paper towel. Odd for a restaurant, cool for when I'm frying at the house. It seemed like the food was fried way earlier and just microwaved. No crunch. Soggy. The greens that everyone raved about were tender but sweet and I kept trying to understand why the greens were sweet. Eve lm hot sauce wouldn't cut it. Tartar seemed old and extremely clumpy. I didn't even like the fries. The wheat bread was the only thing that seemed fresh and properly packaged. I don't know. Maybe it's me and not them. I'm used to better quality and presentation. read more

I generally try to patronize businesses in the neighborhood! I usually like to cook but today; I'm not giving any passes! I've been here before and I've had some concerns! This time; I'm sitting in my car eating this. I ordered a catfish steak lunch! I open the bag. Instantly; it has a lot of seasoning salt on it! Too much salt! Don't know why they put too much salt on it! Then the fries are not really done! I don't like soft mushy fries! I guess I need to say crispy for the fries too with no salt or very little salt! On a scale of one to ten; fries are a 3! All you taste is salt! Now; for the crispy fish; it is not crispy! In fact when you request for fish to be crispy or well done; the meat should not be wet or borderline not done! I've been through this before and requested for my meat to be cooked through! At any rate; I have to take this home and stick it in my oven to get it done! Yeah I'm disappointed! The salt is literally giving me a headache. The cook really need to take his time and let the food at least get done! Well done mean; cook it! I took a photo. I will try again but I will request specifically, once again, on how I want mine cooked! Taste of the fish was bland! Other than that; no other comment! I was generous to give it 3 stars cause I think they can do better! Anyhow; let me get home and drink some water! I don't eat this much salt on nothing! With prices the way they are; tips often being given; it's important to get folks food right! read more

Had a fish fry for 10 of my friends. Admittedly E & J was not my first option but they're the only one local open on Sundays. I ordered 80 jumbo shrimp and 4 pounds of catfish and 20 wings. Came with A LOT of fries, a lot of hot sauce and tartar sauce as well as a loaf of bread. I was able to get a quote over the phone. The food was soo good. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Everybody loved the food. Will definitely be back. read more

It's ok. Went here wanting some dish before the Brandy and Monica concert. Service was fast. It's just a lil while in the wall.

First time there. I was helped by a female cashier she was very pleasant, helpful and gave me a quarter for parking. I had 3x Sole and 9x Shrimp with extra side of MacNCheese. Fish and Shrimp were seasoned very well and cooked just right. Wish the french fries were cooked a bit longer and seasoned better. MacNCheese was surprisingly pretty good. Most fried fish locations have dry clumpy Mac. This one was pretty creamy. Will go back to support this business. read more

I ordered the 15pc fish and shrimp and the 15 wings. The flavor in the chicken was absolutely delightful! The shrimp and fish had a good taste to it. I didn't get my Mac n cheese but the tats of the food was superb. Will order again!! read more

Not a good experience. Drove all the way to Inglewood for some tasty solid and fried fish. Stopped by E&J for the dinner platter: fried snapper, yams, Mac and cheese, and collard greens To start, they have a display of "fresh" fish when you walk into the establishment. I'm not going to lie, the fishy smell was off-putting. I just had to wait about 15 min before my food was packaged and bagged. Before I got home, I wanted to dig in so I can be excited about fully diving in. I was not pleased whatsoever. The Mac and cheese tasted artificial, the collard greens were too bland and vinegar forward, and the yams--burnt and made the styrofoam container melt. I ended up disposing of the entire meal. read more

The food was good very fresh. I would definitely go back again. no problem there's no parking around there.

Food is so good and Fred perfectly. A lot of places don't get hard they just overdue it. You want hard fry but with least amount of grease as possible. E&J do it the best. ERK AND JERK read more

My husband and I visited this restaurant mostly during Lent as we observed Fridays during the season. Their catfish is very nice and come out piping hot -- they don't fry until you buy! lol The unfortunate thing for me was that none of the sides were hitting for. We tried the red beans and rice, Mac and cheese, greens, fries, etc... but they were a miss for us. I'd order ahead if you can so that you're not immersing yourself in the strong fish smell! read more

I had the catfish and jumbo shrimp combo with onion rings and potato salad. It was good. Seasoned perfect and fresh. I will buy again but next time I will ask for fish to be fried crisper. Just a personal preference read more

Ordered the fish/ shrimp combo. Fish was just okay, while the shrimp were over fried - biting into them was like biting into a rock.

I never know what I want to eat. They offer a variety. They fish, seafood, chicken, BBQ, and waffles. I like that they have a small table with honey buns from back east that reminds me of my childhood. The lady at the register, has a warm face of my past with such a welcoming smile. There's a short black gentleman who's always attentive to the customers, he's even brought my order to my car while I was waiting. Today he had such a nostalgic conversation in the lobby while I was waiting for my order. The cook a young Latin guy, is so attentive, he's starting your order as you're talking to the cashier. The wait is not long the food is cooked to your liking ( salt, no salt). The vibes of the customers are comfortable, genuine, and courtesy. I've been in there maybe 6x times since Dec 2023, and everyime the service is the same. 5 stars. Let me be honest and say that normally I'm good tipper. Since I've been going there, I've been going through something, and I haven't been tipping or not properly. The service has not changed. They pay attention to the customers, and everytime they offer the same wonderful service. The amount of food they offer for the price is well worth the trip, for those who chose not to cook. If I'm correct, I thought I heard someone ordered their food to be grilled. I will be going for grilled on my next visit. If you're in the area of Manchester and Locust try them. They to me are more tastier than "Original Roscoe Chicken and Waffles". I would recommend them to tourists for chicken and Waffles before Roscoe's. Make sure to ask for butter and syrup, that was the one thing I was missing, with my chicken and fish order with added Waffles. The Waffles are soft and tasty. I recommend you order Waffles with the fish, a game changer. I don't know there busiest time, but every time I go there's a wonderful crowd of people with good conversations. I'm not a yelper, but I just heated up some of my food from earlier, and it's still delicious. Hope you enjoy like I do when you visit. read more

The food is good, the service is reasonable and the price is right. As far as ambience it's a seafood restaurant that has the aroma of fried fish. So don't plan on sitting around! But by all means check them out. read more

Little Gem in the Heart of Inglewood! First of, they are open on Sundays when most of the other Seafood places around the area are closed on Sundays. They have an A Rating and the only reason I mentioned that is that if you are concerned with looks, then this is the wrong place for you. It is not Dirty, it is clean, it just looks old. They are there to provide great food Family Style Service while you wait for your food. Great, food, great people. what more can you ask for. The Mac N Chesse is the best that I've tried in a while! Fish and Shrimp are not over cooked, perfect and you will not run out of fries! read more

I have no pictures . Its good ! Especially when the young guys w. dreads prepares it ; chefs kisses to the way he seasons food. Eat here pretty frequently & my tip is to call before you go to place your order ! read more

The food is very good. Owner is very nice. A hard worker. I love their Shrimp Also, the greens and yams are tasty.

Fried Catfish . I'm also a big fan of their grilled Orange Roughy, but they rarely have it available

Some of the best fried wings in town! It def is home cooked style so if you're looking for bland, small wings - go elsewhere. Definitely order ahead for easy pickup. The portions are very big, enough to share. Only recommendation is more options for the side entrées. read more

A few blocks from the Forum on the winding section of W. Manchester is a small seafood market and grill owned by a wonderful husband and wife team. For the past three-years they have contributed to the culinary traditions of the Deep South. Tucked in amongst an astonishing number of beauty salons offering extensions on layaway, the bright sign announces a break in the lineup. While there are parking spaces in front the meters only accept coins, so park across the street in the public parking garage. I located E&J Seafood on Yelp, and reasoned it would be a great place to meet Craig Y. before the show featuring Heart, Cheap Trick and Joan Jett. I arrived early and scouted it out. The lovely proprietress greeted me and handed me a paper menu to study. I also asked what kind of fish is Swai? She said it's mild and perfect for fish and chips, and only $5.99! Sold! I just needed Craig to arrive. Shortly before he walked in a really funny guy came in and ordered. He told me that the seasoned fries were the way to go and proceeded to keep the atmosphere light and amicable. Craig placed his bet on a Snapper and Shrimp combo with two sides whilst I went for the recommendation- Swai with seasoned fries. See pics below. Taste: Craig Y. said it evoked Popeyes in how the breading was seasoned (not their spicy recipe), whereas I found it less crunchy than Wood'z where I ate less than two hours prior. The three sizable pieces of fish retained the moisture without a hint of sogginess, which is awesome! Plus, the,seasoned fries were coated and textured with a proper batter, not Lowry's Seasoned Salt like most joints. I couldn't finish all the fries because I ate a bunch across town, but if you're heading to the Forum for any event, give this fine establishment a whirl. It's inexpensive and a fine example of Soul seafood. Parking proved free by the time I made it back to the structure after the concert. read more

The food was BOMB. Customer service was good, every employee greeted me as they noticed I was a customer. Wait time for the food was about 10-15mins (food was freshly fried). About the food: I got the combo 3 catfish filet, 6 shrimp and mac & cheese and ordered the catfish, collard greens and onion rings for my bf. Catfish was good and fresh, falls apart as you hold a piece. Not too salty, the shrimp were a bit more salty but still not too much. Also nice medium sized shrimp. Collard greens, taste homemade, especially when you add a bit of hot sauce (which is included). Mac and cheese not too creamy but has a nice sharp cheedar taste. Onion rings cooked perfectly. Also can't forget the soft fresh roll they give you. I'd recommend this place before sure. Black owned is a plus. read more

The food is always yummy, this is one of my favorite places to get some of the best fried seafood in LA. Please do yourself a favor and try E & J. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE! I purchased $30 in food. I ordered the 5 & 5 which consist of 5 PCs of Catfish ( cooked in chicken batter or with the chicken and not fully cooked but burnt) & 5 Wings (Burnt but not fully cooked as if the heat was to high and cooked the skin faster than the inside) with 2 sides. The 2 sides I ordered collard greens (dry hardly cooked and NO seasoning) and yams but got burnt dried out pinto beans. Plus the 5 pc catfish ( fried with chicken batter or with the chicken grease and not fully cooked) with greens (dry and no seasoning) and yams that were (over cooked and dried out) I'm simply shocked! We trashed the entire meals before I could photo. Will never eat there again!! I wouldn't recommend read more

I absolutely love this place. You're greeted with a Mom & Pop vibe immediately upon entering. The chicken wings are large and well seasoned, the waffles are soft and politely buttered. Definitely my favorite meal for Wednesday evening read more

When you're at work and want something to eat, but not in the mood to drive far or pay a lot, I turn to Yelp to help me decide. My co-worker and I opted for fish, because it's Friday and we just got paid. (LOL) I talked him into trying out this spot with me for the first time. We weren't disappointed we both ordered the 3 piece catfish steak lunch, which came with a roll and one side, I chose Collard Greens he had French fries (Crinkle cut) Everything was delicious however I would have wanted a little more seasoning in the greens. (Just my preference). See my picture of the aftermath: bones, little greens juice and two empty hot sauce packets. They may be a little spot on Manchester, but they pack a big punch. I would recommend and I will be back. Did I mention the lunch was less than $10. #supportthruthepandemic read more

The batter they use to fry their seafood is so good, it's well seasoned & very flavorful. I got the mac and cheese and it wasn't seasoned at all, not even a little flick of salt, I was very disappointed, I had high hopes for them based off the seafood. The sides need some flavor and a little bit of work. Great customer service though, the cashier that helped me was so sweet. read more

The food is very yummy especially the yams and catfish
