    Red Snapper Dinner
    Eatstatus G.

    Imperial isn't about fresh catch or fancy plating -- it's Southern fried seafood, plain and simple. The fish is crispy, the shrimp hits the spot, and the portions are satisfactory (not huge, not skimpy). Prices are fair, and it's exactly the kind of food you crave when only fried will do. That said, timing matters. This is a "swing by for lunch or an early dinner" kind of spot. After 5:30pm? Let's just say your fish won't be the only thing fried.

    The food is mediocre. The fries were too tasteless and crunchy to enjoy. The breading on the fish is delicious, but mine was cooked too hard. The service was competent and helpful. It's a you buy we fry kind of place. The place has about five seats to sit and wait for your fish to get done.

    Fish and shrimp combo with fries. Seasoned and cooked perfectly!

    I live very close to this place and have always been curious about trying it. Was a little hesitant due to the craziness surrounding the restaurant, but boy was I pleasantly surprised. We ordered a fish (filet sole) and shrimp combo with French fries. The seasoning on the fish and shrimp was delicious. It was a good as it could possibly be and was cooked perfectly. The fries were seasoned well and also cooked perfectly. The young lady working the front was very friendly and gave us a good recommendation. The only thing I'm upset about was that I waited so long to try this place. I will definitely be coming back any time I'm in the mood for some good fried fish. This place is a must try.

    I've been coming to Imperial Fish Market for years, and it's time I share how amazing this place truly is. It's the definition of all things good in the neighborhood! The fish is always fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Despite the staff changes over the years, the consistency in recipes is impressive and keeps me coming back. Located next to a liquor store in a small lot, the setup is simple. You walk in, place your order--whether for lunch or dinner, no difference on when you can order a dinner or lunch, the only difference is the portion size. My go-to is the red snapper dinner with fries, but I also enjoy the combo of red snapper and shrimp without fries. The staff are friendly and efficient, making the quick service and easy. Although there are a few chairs for waiting, this is a to go establishment . I'll keep returning as long as the food stays bomb.

    3rd time's a charm, and by "charm," I mean I finally confirmed that the problem was never me…read more The first time I purchased king crab from this market, I bought two bags at $175 each. When we cracked the legs open, there was a thick, rubbery, shell-like layer wrapped around the meat. We assumed we had overcooked it, accepted our $350 lesson, and took it on the chin. Against my better judgment, I returned and spent nearly $385 on 2 five-pound bags of king crab and a bag of shrimp. The shrimp were fine. The crab? Same problem. Initially, I steamed a few legs for about 10 minutes and thought, "Okay, maybe I overcooked it again." Thankfully, I had only removed what I planned to eat and kept the remaining legs frozen. Today, I decided to test that theory. I removed three legs, steamed them for 5 minutes.... Literally set my timer for 5 minutes and what do you know, same exact result. As the pictures show, this is not the crab's normal thin membrane. The hard outer shell literally separates from a second, soft shell underneath it, leaving very little edible meat. I paid for king crab, not an expensive scavenger hunt for actual crab meat. At these prices, customers should not be sold poor quality, double-shelled crab legs. After spending more than $700 here across 2 visits and having the same issue each time, I'm officially done conducting experiments. This market has had multiple opportunities, and unfortunately, the crab failed every time. 3rd time's a charm because there definitely won't be a 4th

The fish was crispy on the outside, flaky and juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right. The meal came with fries, bread, and a hush puppy, plus they hooked me up with tartar sauce and hot sauce. I also grabbed a drink and finished it off with a slice of cheesecake. They also had homemade desserts available, including banana pudding, chocolate cake, and another in-house dessert that all looked tempting. What really stood out was how clean the place was. Despite the neighborhood, the inside was spotless, and everyone working there was friendly, welcoming, and efficient. My food was fresh, hot, and ready in about 15 minutes, so I was in and out with no hassle. If you're looking for great fried fish at a fair price, don't let the address scare you away.

    I'm really starting to have mixed feelings about this place. I've been coming here for about two…read moreyears now since it's right down the street from my job at SoFi Stadium. First off, parking is rough. The restaurant is located in a small shopping center with several other businesses sharing the same lot, so finding a space can be a challenge. Sometimes it's easier to park down the street and walk over. This also isn't really a sit-down-and-enjoy-your-meal kind of place. It's more of a grab-your-food-and-go spot. The reason I'm starting to feel differently is because the last few visits haven't been as consistent as they used to be. I remember seeing the owner around much more often, and the food quality seemed better. Lately, the fries have been darker, the fish portions sometimes feel a little small for the price, and it occasionally seems like the frying oil isn't being changed as often as it should be. The service is okay, but it's not always the friendliest. One thing I've noticed is that when I ask for the fresh house-made hot sauce instead of the prepackaged packets, it sometimes feels like I'm inconveniencing the staff, especially one guy in particular. Maybe that's not the intention, but it can come across that way. That said, I keep coming back for a reason. The fish still has great flavor, and I enjoy several of the sides. The mac and cheese is probably my favorite, the collard greens are solid, and the fries are satisfying when they're fresh. I'm hoping this place can get back to the consistency that made me a regular in the first place.

    Everyone knows I love seafood so I was delighted to find this place stayed open till nine or 10…read moreo'clock at night on the weekends. We drove in from El Segundo. The fish was cooked well, the outside was a bit overly crisp but the fish inside was soft and tender in a way that makes you want to eat an additional piece even when full. The best test of a fish market to me is eating it the next day. Is it soft? Check. Does it still have flavor? Check can I eat it cold or hot? Check. It didn't matter that it was cold I was able to get the same enjoyment as the night before. That makes this place alright by me. I wish they cook the fries 1-3 mins less so they weren't so dry a provide a better hot sauce cause the one they give isn't the business.
