I seen Happy Fish going viral on social media, so of course I had to try it! They pack their plates with lots of food - they come standard with fries, hush puppies, and cole slaw. While the fish and shrimp pieces are bigger than what you typically get at a fish fry, I found the catfish to be extremely fishy & off putting (reason for 3 stars).. I love that they have a buzzer/beeper to notify you when your order is ready, so you can wait in the comfort of your car & also how quick the service was! read more

Happy Fish Market - Jumbo Shrimp & Catfish Dinner Plate - Seafood Markets Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Saw a YouTube review on this place and it seems to have good reviews. I miss my east coast fried fish markets in the DC/MD area so this was worth a try. They have a very affordable lunch special. It's unusual to see those type of prices in today's inflated economy. Parking: street parking wherever you can find it Service: no issues, the guy at window was nice and patient Wait time: 15 mins, they give you a pager that beeps when food is ready Inside: Not much a seating area inside so you can stand inside or outside. Looks like they also sell some items and the fish is on display Prices: very affordable Taste: good but I wish the seasoning was a little better Overall: pretty good read more

The last time I was at this building buying fish was literally decades ago and it went by a different name. Stopped by the other day wanting to try their fish sandwich, if they had one. Unfortunately not, so I ordered a scaled fish, Orange Roughy, w/Fries a side Macaroni Salad and Hush Puppies. The service was direct. The energy and vibe of the place (with the other Patrons) was one where you could tell most customers had a relationship with this business. Made me want to try it all the more. And it was not a disappointment at all. The Fish Batter was seasoned pretty good. Could not complain. The Coleslaw as well. Wasn't dry stale or old. Pretty fresh and flavorful. As well as the Macaroni Salad. Was not expecting it to be as flavorful as it was. Tasty. The Fries were seasoned with a slight crisp and tender bite that made the meal impressive by that point. Finally. I ordered a side of Hush Puppies as well because what's Fish without them, (they come with a couple for the combo plate). They were solid as well. I mean. I cannot complain about this meal. At all. Glad I stopped by and gave Happy Fish Market a try. Was surely worth the experience and extend Gratitude as well as give thanks to Happy Fish Market and Staff for making it all worth it. Good customer service as well as flavorful and fresh offerings. See you soon. read more

So we stopped here today on a whim. We had heard good things and decided to try them out. The line was out the door, but it was absolutely worth the wait. I had fried catfish strips which came with fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw. When I tell you that you get what you pay for, take my word. You get a mountain of deliciously seasoned crispy fish! I couldn't take a picture because I ate while I was driving. But I will definitely be back. read more

Made a rather large work order 6 staff members we had soo much food! The person on the phone was calm patient polite and very helpful which makes that initial contact that much more meaningful The lady at the window called me to let me know my food was ready to come puck it up. She was so sweet and helpful she made sure we had all the sauce dessert drinks utensils before i even had to ask that is a great sign of customer service Always love a local food spot in the hood that looks out for us! read more

Fish was good, fried hard and seasoned well! Service was cool for the area, I suppose it wasn't nothing special lol now the only thing I recommend is some fly traps cause no ma'am too many dang flies in the waiting area lol def would go back if I was in the area this time with a fly swatter read more

Placed a phone order which they got completely wrong. So I waited for them to remake the order. When my buzzer finally went off. There was another customer returning a large pan of fish he said was fried too hard to eat. Once I got my order I realized that there was no way I was given 3 pieces of catfish. Maybe 1-2 cut as nuggets. Not to mention the place smelled of old grease as did the food. Total waste! read more

They have really good fish here and they're open on Sunday that's a plus. I suggest you call in because they are always very busy. I've only had the shrimp,catfish,and red snapper and all of them were delicious. This is a local spot that's been here for over 25 years serving the community. The service is good the employees here are patient and polite. I highly recommend them for all of your fried fish and shrimp needs. read more

This is the spot to go to. A little distance from my house , but so worth it. The seafood here is fresh and very tasty. The gentlemen taking the orders is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to knowing what is good. The prices are affordable and the cook takes it serious when you ask for a certain type of cooking on your order. The outside is clean and you don't wait very long for your food. They stay busy. I will definitely recommend this spot as your go to for good fried fish and shrimps. read more

Happy Fish Market - Fried shrimp - Seafood Markets Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Where do I begin? Happy Fish Market is hands down the best place for fried fish I've found in a long time! I live in Long Beach, and while I was in downtown LA yesterday morning, I decided to finally try this place after hearing so many good things about it. I'm so glad I did. I placed my order at 11 AM and was not disappointed. I got the four piece red snapper dinner with eight jumbo shrimp, french fries, and coleslaw. Everything was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The customer service was top-notch, the wait time was minimal, and there was plenty of parking available. I also ordered a piece of fillet sole on the side Three jumbo shrimp My total came out to out to $24 and some change I'm definitely taking that drive The ambience was pretty chill. They do have a couple seats so you can wait for your fish. But I opted to wait in my car with my buzzer. If you're in the area and craving some amazing fried fish, Happy Fish Market is a must visit! read more

I purchased fried Fish from this market before. It looks very good, tastes good. Customer service is not to good. It is best to call in your order for pick up. The place is not always fresh, atmosphere is ok, hard to find parking. read more

Check your bag and your order. If you don't, they will not refund or exchange for what you want.

Went to Happy Fish for the second time because the first time was legit. This time complete opposite experience. Placed a phone order that was not only not ready when I got there but they were not tracking it at all and I had to reorder. When the young lady at the counter (with the bad attitude) took my order she put it in wrong and had to charge my card twice. When I finally got home to eat my food I was more than half way done and discovered a hair. I couldn't make this up if I wanted to. I hope this was a fluke of an experience. The food and the experience didn't compare to the first time around, not sure I will be back. read more

Happy Fish Market - Hair Found in food - Seafood Markets Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My family and I been eating here for years, never disappoint. The only fish market I go to and the prices is very reasonable. I love Happy Fish Market read more

Happy Fish has excellent service and the Fish is off the hook decent prices. Also the fish is really really good. I may say so myself.

I have been ordering fish from Happy Fish for years. Recently, it's been inconsistent with quality and portion size of certain fish. In addition, the tartar sauce has clumps and it's not the relish. I do recommend to order fish during the most busy days to receive the fresh fish, although they may cut the pieces smaller. read more

Happy Fish Market is the place to go if you like fried fish in corn batter. It's very delicious! My favorite so far is the catfish filet, and my husband raves about the filet of sole, which is also very good. And the fries are very tasty and well seasoned! The location/parking isn't the best, but they're really fast! The prices are very reasonable and I like the fact that you can get any quantity as in fish only; not just in quantities of a pound or a half pound. I've only gone twice so far, but I'm definitely returning. read more

We were having a fish fry for our family of 10pp. I went to 2 fish markets and the fried fish was very tasty along with the fried shrimp. Plus the amount they give you, you'll have enough for seconds. I went back after several weeks to order ahead of the family gathering. When I asked how many would the family package serve. He said I don't know with a 'whatever' attitude. I asked how much fries come with it. He pointed to a container and said that, again with a rude attitude . I ordered. And on Friday when I came to pick up my order he still had the same stale, whatever attitude. He doesn't belong in customer service. The food is good, but I won't be back. I won't spend my money where I'm not appreciated for spending it there. I worked too hard for spending it in places that don't appreciate their customers. read more

Yesterday was my first time going to this place . I passed this place every single day going to work and became curious when I'd see constant foot traffic going in and out EVERY DAY I didn't know what this place was . One day I have a craving for fried fish and I google maps just that and lo and behold ITS THE PLACE I PASS EVERYDAY?! I had no idea it was a fried fish spot so I read the reviews to get a feel of what to expect . EVERYONE IS RAVING IN THE REVIEWS. Ok so I head over . Parking although limited is tucked behind the shop for safe pulling over instead of parking on the street . I head inside I started to get a tiny bit worried seeing the inside it wasn't dirty but rather a little time capsule. It felt like I was at a museum from the 80s but I placed my order and trusted the reviews . After all , this is La the whole place is a time capsule right? They handed me a little device with a number on it and I was told this would vibrate when my order was ready . Nifty little thing . They had two chairs to sit in so I sat waiting . They also have other kitchen items for sale such as eggs , butter, juice , oil , spam, rice lemons , ect nice little addition . Four or 5 minutes passed then my little buzzer went off and my food was ready IT SMELLED SO GOOD I COULDN'T WAIT as soon as I got back to my car I seen a MOUNTAIN of food exactly what I was craving . I hurried home stole a fry or two on the way . And raced inside . Oh my god THIS FOOD IS PERFECTLY SEASONED PERFECTLY BATTERED PERFECTLY CRUNCHY !! I ordered the dinner combo number 5 with 4 pieces of fish and 8 jumbo shrimp every dinner came with fries hush puppies a roll and Cole slaw. Im usually a very slow eater . But this food was gone in a flash I can't believe I let this place slip through my fingers all those days of craving fish and not knowing where to go IM GOING BACK TODAY ! read more

Happy Fish Market - This is the dinner special number 5 with 4 pieces fried cat fish and 8 jumbo shrimp with fries hush puppies coleslaw and a roll. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Love this place so much my family loves the food. Best fish and shrimp ever. Reasonably priced you can call in to place your order ahead of time. It's a small little walk-in area with few seats. However, customer service is always good and you're giving a pager so if you'd like to sit in your car and wait, they will buzz you in your order is ready. Definitely must have best fish ever read more

Happy fish has good fish. I'm not a fan of the batter on the shrimp world seafood shrimp is better or the fish market down the street
