Yesterday’s visit to San Pedro Fish Market was nothing short of a first-class experience. Honestly, after the hospitality, the food, and the incredible behind-the-scenes access, I felt like I should have been paying them. I’m truly honored that they’re even considering Vivid Candi for their marketing.
I had the opportunity to spend time with Henry, Mike, and Carl, and enjoy an absolutely massive seafood tray with them at their Long Beach location on Alamitos Bay. Calamari, white fish, shrimp, and so much more—it was fresh, delicious, completely over the top, and exactly what my appetite needed. 🦐🐟🔥
After an incredible meal, I toured the entire property, took a ton of photos, and got a real look at the scale and energy of the operation. Then I headed to their San Pedro location—and nothing could have prepared me for what I saw.
This place is mind-blowingly huge. It seats around 2,000 guests and may very well be one of the largest restaurants on the West Coast, if not the entire country. You genuinely cannot appreciate the scale until you see it with your own eyes.
The drive there was an experience in itself—through beautiful Long Beach, across the bridges, surrounded by ocean views, towering cargo ships, and the bustling waterfront—before arriving right on the water in San Pedro beside a massive destroyer. Absolutely badass.
Then I got to see the operation in action, with more than 150 team members bringing the experience to life every day. Watching the teamwork, precision, and hospitality behind such an enormous operation was truly inspiring.
Henry, Mike, and Carl—thank you for the incredible hospitality, the unforgettable food, the behind-the-scenes tour, and the wonderful conversation. It was a privilege to spend time with you, and I’m excited to continue the conversation about what we can create together.
And seriously… put San Pedro Fish Market on your list. The seafood is phenomenal, the waterfront setting is unforgettable, and the sheer size of the operation is something you simply won’t believe until you experience it for yourself. I know I didn’t.
