New Orleans Fish Market

This place is the bomb. Best New Orleans food I’ve had outside of NOLA. So authentic, delicious and abundant!
We happened to drive by it and, although it doesn’t say much from the outside, something made me wanna stop and check it out. Since it’s a fish market, they don’t have any tables and you must take your food to go.
We ordered gumbo, the 4-​piece fish lunch special, a pound of boiled shrimp, mixed seafood po boy and a sweet potato pie. The total was only $ 40 and it was enough for 3 adults and one child, and we even had leftovers for dinner!
The wait was long, I’m not gonna lie to you. About 39 minutes or so. But worth every second that we waited for our food. Plus, meals that are well-​made and are prepared with love take a while to cook.

Very unprofessional, ungrateful and disrespectful. The food was ok but the guy behind the counter was so disrespectful i refuse to spend my money with someone speaking to me in such a disrespectful manner. This place certainly doesn’t represent New Orleans. The people of New Orleans are nice, warm and very different from this place!!!

If you’re looking for authentic New Orleans style food, this is the place to go. This is a small family owned business that has been around forever and never disappoints the taste buds! The fish is really good, but their fried shrimp is AMAZING!!! I recommend trying a poe boy sandwich if it is your first time around. This is also one of the few places that still orders their crawfish and blue crabs straight from New Orleans!!! Give it a shot!

Was just there this past Friday. This is my Friday night dinner at least once a month. Been going her for years, when informed in the area would do a lunch run for coworkers. LOVE the $ 10 half lb. jumbo shrimp. While it is not located in the best area, especially now they are working on the street and there is no street parking. The local rift raft doesn’t make it any better.

ive eaten here a while ago and the food was amazing and they are open sundays! but this review is for the phone convo I just had with the owner Bernard. I’m having a mardi gras themed 25^th bday and wanted to have crawfish ship from NO. After thinking about the trouble that would be or the price for the express delivery I decided to call NOFM. Bernard was very helpful and he told me it would be cooked at no extra charge and he’d make sure it would be in stock for me. I told him I wanted to have it shipped but I’d rather give my local business my money first.

Best fried Louisiana fish in town! Nice guys! Been going here forever!

Best crawfish i have tasted in California. They actually season them while they cook them unlike most places where they throw the seasoning on top. I went to school in Louisiana so im very picky. The best!!!

GROSS!
I tried it again. It was wayyyyy grosser this time. I got the shrimp dinner and it still had boo boo stings fried in with the shrimp coating! Yo mad gross yo!
I’ll NEVER be back! I would rather go to Harold and Belle’s. Or that spot on crenshaw and 108^th. This food made me extra sick.
Customer service is blahhh, they have kids running it and you can tell by the level of customer service.
NO GOOD!

In an ongoing effort to eat the best fried fish in Los Angeles, my cousin introduced me to this gem. It’s off the beaten path, yet some kinda wonderful.
The fish is fresh. And you know this because when you walk in the door there is no fishy smell, which is a good thing. You pick out your fish, they weigh it and fry it up for you right here while you wait.
The prices are great, the fish is great as is the service. The patrons I ran into were «colorful», but such is Los Angeles.
Cheers to discovering new eateries in the City of Lost Angels.

Love the fried fish!!!
I always order for pick-​up…
I always order fried Cat-​Fish Fillet…

I tried the red snapper lunch meal along with a stuffed crab and it was delicious… Can’t wait to try the Gumbo.

Great service, great prices, and great food!!!
I just wished they stayed open later and 7 days a week. NOFM, is true to the hood!

I grew up in Houston TX near the gulf coast and moved to Orange County about 10 years ago. When I was a kid we would go out for Po’ boys at least three times a month. I have tried a few places in OC and was always disappointed and pretty much gave up until I tried NOFM.
I have tried both the oyster and shrimp Po’ boy and right away after I took the first bite I new it was the real deal. The oysters and the shrimp were fried and seasoned correctly. Unlike the places that I tried in OC, they understand how not to overcook the oysters and the shrimp and they are reasonably priced. Po’ boys are dressed the way that I am used to. They use mayo… not tartar and they use lettuce not slaw or cabbage. It was very nostalgic for me and now I know where to go for a very decent Po boy. Just the Po boys alone are worth the drive from orange county.
I have also tried the Crawfish Boudin and the hotlinks. they sell them frozen so you can cook them at home. They both had a good flavor. The hotlinks had just the right amount of heat. They were a little heavy handed when they threw in the garlic but they were still really good. Also, the fact that they don’t put onions in the potato salad just sealed the deal for me. I can’t stand when potato salad is crunchy with onions and this is the one place that I don’t worry about them putting a billion onions in the potato salad. They also sell Blue Runner brand cream style red beans which I became addicted to after trying them a few years back. they are expensive though. It’s three dollars for the small can but at least I know where to get them now locally.
This is a «no frills» kind of place. They are not there to suck up to you. as it should be. I don’t need them to brown nose to me. I just want good quality food and good service. From what I have seen so far, you will find both of those things here and they will be friendly as long as you are not a pain in the ass. It is not a restaurant. It is a market. there is no place to eat inside so if I want to eat it hot then I have to eat in the parking lot. to me, it is still really worth it. One more thing, I would not go there for cooked food if you are in a hurry. They are not in a hurry and I believe that contributes to the great quality of the food because they are not trying to rush it. However, you can call in the order which saves some time.
Highly recommended. I will definitely keep coming back.

Good for L.A. version of NO food. There is nothing like NOLA cuisine. The stuffed crabs are amazing. If you looking for NO groceries they have it all. Expect Patterson Patties/​hot sausage.

Love love this place!.. The best in my area! Large servings with a great price! I can just walk up the street and my orders are ready! Shrimp.Catfish. .etc.All good! Wish it stayed open later on Sundays!

After reading the reviews, I had to give this place a try. I was not disappointed. I got the combo lunch {sole and oyster} and the shrimp lunch… Because I’m greedy like that. And my kids each had the catfish lunch. No complaints! ALL FOOD GONE! lol
The staff is friendly and maybe he could tell that I had never been there before, but he gave suggestions for lunch and… Just made us feel welcomed. The wait was longer than I expected but it was lunch hour.
Now to the good good… The sole and shrimp was good. But the oysters and catfish was BANGING! Flavorful, not overcooked, and wasn’t dry. You can taste the freshness of the fish. The lunch comes with bread and a side. I got potato salad… Nicely seasoned. The kids had French fries, which also came with the shrimp. They also have a homemade tartar sauce that is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. You MUST get extra, ask for more, just get that sauce for your meal and you won’t be disappointed!!! I will be back soon and bring my own container for the tartar sauce!
When on Vernon, stop by… I would add more to this review but I’m full and sleepy. You know what time it is…

This oyster Po Boy was so dang good. Lawd. I mean… The bread was right. Not quite crusty on the outside like you might find in N.O. But soft and billowy. It was spongy enough to support everything on the inside nicely. I had my sammich half dressed but I added a little hot sauce & tarter as I ate it. Shooot, that just popped it right off. Tater salad was good. Just right. Dinner and full as a tick for 7 dollars & some change. No wonder they’ve been here for so long. Cute too.

WHY DOES THIS PLACE NOT HAVE MORE REVIEWS?!
It’s the best fried fish I’ve had in Los Angeles. Despite the fact that I call it a ‘hood fish spot’, it’s very clean and the staff is very friendly and the food is really great.
Great prices,
Parking in the rear.
Fresh, hot, WELL-​SEASONED fried seafood that rivals places where I used to eat growing up on the Chesapeake Bay. (For this reason, I’ve never had their Blue Crab, but the fish, shrimp, oysters and scallops are pretty amazing.)
STARS.

I am from Houston TX & I love a good fried fish & shrimp meal… This place is wonderful. It definitely brought me back to the south.
I ordered the fried fish {Tilapia} & shrimp, it also came w|| hush puppies & you can choose a side. I kept it simple & got French fries:) Oh & the tarter sauce they give you is so yum. It’s not your average tarter sauce. Next time I am asking for 2!
The restaurant is clean. The staff Bu & Flip are the nicest guys ever. they just make you feel so welcome.
When my mom comes to visit me this Christmas I am most certainly bringing her here to eat. Can’t wait.

Between this place and Pete’s Meat, they are my go-​to place for ingredients to make my gumbo annually. Granted, it’s in the hood but I have yet to find a genuine food supplier that is not in the hood. So, in my opinion it’s worth it for such authentic creole ingredients.
At NO Fish Market I can get my soft shell blue crabs and genuine andouille or tasso (although it’s been a while since I used tasso in my gumbo). In short, NO Fish Market definitely knows their stuff when it comes to true cajun/​creole ingredients. One need not look any further for authentic Louisiana foods. For me, they are the only place I will go to for my blue crab and other cajun food ingredients.
