Our Story

More Than a Market โ€” It's a Tradition

For over two decades, Chinatown Seafood Market has been the go-to destination for home cooks, restaurant chefs, and food lovers across Los Angeles who refuse to compromise on freshness.

Located on New High Street in the heart of Chinatown, we bring you live fish, hand-dived shellfish, and specialty cuts โ€” all selected with the same care our families have trusted for generations. Whether you're preparing a holiday feast or a weeknight dinner, we make sure every fillet, claw, and tail meets the standard you expect.
