Louisiana Pico Fish and Chicken

My shrimp and fish were very, very good. They give you a lot of food. This will be my new go to fish market. I highly recommend this place:)

I’ve been to every fish market in long beach and this place is the best! Finally some fish with seasoning

If you don’t mind the waiting, the fish is off the chain! I eat here at least once a week. I guess I need to start calling my order in maybe that way I’ll get served faster.

YUUUUUUUUUUM!
So my hair chick moved her spot, which was probably for the better because now I’m so close to all the good hood food spots LOL. She’s a mile from Bludsos’s for god sake: D :D But this particular day I was craving a fish fry and some wangs. So in this area, there are about 5 within a 3 mile radius! So I looked at each review carefully. Lots of things factor when I want to try a new hood spot. The reviews, the accessibility of the parking lot and the fear factor ahahahaaha. I almost gave up on L.P. because my map app messed me up and I almost went inside a completely different fish spot. But I was persistent and I knew I wanted this one to try, first of many others in the area. So I stroll in and I didn’t take a long time looking at the menu and I kinda wish I did because they had some combos that would have been better suited for me and against the right side of the wall they had fish you can order per piece and I didn’t notice it until I sat down and waited :(:(The cashier was really nice and patient with another customer.
I ordered a catfish dinner which came with two sides and a roll. I also ordered 3 jumbo shrimp a la carte. I didn’t notice a combo where you could have both at a better price :(My bad LOL. The two sides I ordered with my meal were potato salad and hushpuppies. I also ordered 5 wings a la carte. Not bad for 24 bucks. The wait wasn’t to long. Everything was made to order and super fresh. I love how they package your food. It’s in Styrofoam but the tops have cut out squares so the steam doesn’t make your fried food soggy by the time you get home. So drove my lovely food back to Irvine, took my food porn and started grubbing: p Food was super fresh and still tempature hot. The consistency of the batter is perfect. Not super crispy as I like but that was my fault for not telling them I wanted it extra fried :) Also they’re not heavy handed on the seasonings. Not bland but could have used an extra dash or two of seasoning salt. The potato salad needed an extra oomph as well. I’ve only been to two places that made potato salad like my mom so I’m usually prepared for a slight upset. Which is no matter since I can doctor it up at home. Their hushpuppies were really good! I wish I ordered a side of those. My chicken wings were great in size, not small and not hormonal. Just right and fried perfectly.
I was quite satisfied with my meal and my leftovers reheated well in the toaster oven. Fish tasted more seasoned the next day of course :) I would love to come back BUT I might want to try the competitors in the area first: D

Love getting the fried red snapper! Consistent and food. Here’s a tip. call ahead. Never linger than 20 minutes and often only 10!

I like the fish from Pico, though my orders have been inconsistent over the years. Fish is usually fried just right and has the right amount of batter and seasoning. Sides are the typical you’ll get from most fish markets. The customer service is awesome and they aim to satisfy customers. I even saw one rude man in there acting an a** because his order was wrong. He threw the bag on the counter while I was attempting to order and start yelling at the young lady. She politely apologized and asked the cook to fry a new batch of oysters. What a loser he was and what a patient person she was.
Nevertheless, order from here. Parking is super tight so call ahead and go to pick up only.

This is some goooood fish! Light and flakey and it tasted fresh. I didn’t feel all gross after eating it.
I wish they would upgrade their rolls to the King’s Hawaiian ones. They would really compliment the meal.
Hush puppies are a-​ight and the macaroni salad is pretty good, too.
Highly recommend!

Place is usually crowded on weekends. Especially fish Friday’s. Let’s start off by saying my oysters were seasoned very well & fried crispy, how I love them. The fish & shrimp not so. Didn’t care for the tartar sauce/​hot sauce either. Their fries are pretty normal. The parking is a hassle since this place sits on a very busy street corner right next to 7Eleven, a beauty supply, & 2 other random stores. Thought I would save myself a drive to L.A. & try this long beach fish spot but I wasn’t impressed. 2 stars for those oysters though…

My favorite fish spot of all time. I rotate between sole and snapper. I just recently found out you can request to have the fish fried extra crispy. I cant leave without onion rings and/​or collard greens.

Good food SUPER, SUPER slow!!! Like super. Foods great if you don’t mind the wait. The young lady at the register was very nice and polite as well!

Decent! The batter was halfway off the fish & soft. Fries u have to ask for seasoning salt but they don’t have any Cajun or creole seasoning 0_​o «blank stare» shrimp has no seasoning on batter either!

Ok Unilocalers another review… ok first impression was the place was very clean. (and that’s important for a place that sells fish!!) I was greeted by a very nice (and cute) lady behind the counter. I ordered the lunch combo 2 pcs of fish (your choice) 2 pcs of jumbo shrimp 6 pcs of oysters and fries it was made to perfection. Not salty like som places. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Oh did o mention they also have chicken also? So if your feel like u want fried chicken or fish you can’t go wrong here! And remember Sly’s reviews are good for you! See ya!!!

The best place in the Long Beach area for southern fried fish. Don’t let the location (parking is very difficult), or the looks of the place (very small but clean) keep you from experiencing fish caught in God’s own ocean and seemingly fried in his own kitchen. I eat here on average, once a month, for the past 5 or so years, and I am very rarely disappointed with the experience. If you love fried food, or just want to experience southern fried seafood decadence do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Hands down best fish market in town, luv it… Every person I tell is now hooked on it… Lol

Food is good! Service is great! We always get the red snapper & shrimp combo. Don’t forget to add the sweet potato pie! This is the only fish place we go to. It’s worth the drive. Everything is good here…

Service is great. Food, especially the catfish, is super on huff!!!(plump and juicy) must make this place your regular fish and shrimp destination!
Also you should pre-​order!!!

Excellent fish, never had a complaint about my order ever. They are reasonably priced and fast. I lllooovvveeeee oysters and they always cook them perfectly without any instruction on how I prefer them to be cooked. The place is very clean and prompt. Very good service and food. Bravo! Keep up the good work!

The seafood display is clean and fresh. Awesome hole in the wall. Red snapper is delicious as well as shrimp. The fried chicken was great signature seasoning. Service is great. Food takes a while to be made but that because it’s fresh so no complaints there. Two thumbs up… finger licking good.

Not really an eat in kinda place but the food is finger licking good! The prices are decent and the chicken is delicious. This is by far one of my favorite take out spots.

There’s a few «U buy We Fry» spots in the community but this one is currently killing the competition in my opinion.
Fresh fish Fair portions…
I like… yep yep
