Family Fish Market

Tucked into a strip mall across from what used to be the StubHub Center in Carson, Family Fish Market represents everything wonderful about old-school neighborhood seafood counters. This is the kind of place that doesn’t need flashy decor or a trendy concept—just incredibly fresh fish and the skills to cook it perfectly.

The setup here is beautifully simple: walk up to the counter, pick your fish—snapper, sole, catfish, or shrimp—and watch as they fry it right in front of you. It’s Louisiana-style cooking at its finest, which means you’re getting that satisfying golden crust and properly seasoned fish that keeps regulars coming back year after year.

While everything on the menu deserves attention, the combo specials are where the real value shines. For well under ten dollars, you’ll walk away with several pieces of perfectly fried fish and two sides. Take our advice and make sure one of those sides is the hush puppies—they’re the kind of crispy, slightly sweet cornmeal bites that make the meal complete.

Family Fish Market is perfect for those evenings when you want honest, delicious food without any pretense. It’s casual dining at its most satisfying—great seafood, fair prices, and the simple pleasure of watching skilled hands prepare your meal fresh.
