Vice City Guide: Eat at San Pedro Fish Market

Drought aside, Los Angeles is full of great places to eat and drink. Here's a handy guide to all our favorite spots.

San Pedro Fish Market
1190 Nagoya Way, San Pedro, CA 90731

The best way to witness the CO2-belching realities of giant-scale globalized trade is to head down to San Pedro's Fish Market for a huge pile of spicy seafood and bread while you stare at enormous container ships moving their payloads in and out of the Port of Los Angeles. The fish markets are all awkwardly crammed into one little space, but they all serve the same menu in the same giant portions, and all the bars serve equally massive micheladas, a.k.a. cerveza mixed with tomato juice and spices—the perfect thing to guzzle while you watch NAFTA in action.
