San Pedro Fish Market Shrimp
Going to the San Pedro Wharf in Los Angeles Harbor is quite an experience. The old time San Pedro Fish Market has been a weekend gathering place for families for years. Right on the water, you can watch this working harbor in action as you enjoy its famous Shrimp Tray. The Fish Market has a lot of menu options, but the Shrimp Tray is historic. Here's my take on it, Enjoy this celebratory meal any time. Order the Savory Seasoning Spice mix online or use another version you may have in your pantry. I make my own shrimp/lobster stock with the shells, an onion, carrot and celery stalk boiled and simmer for 1/2 hour, strained, then freeze.
