As A Pro Chef, I Think These Are The Best Raw Seafood Restaurants In Los Angeles - Tasting Table

"Now, after almost a decade in Los Angeles, I remain spoiled by our proximity to the Pacific Ocean's bountiful treasures, as fresh, local seafood is as important to us Angelenos as our beloved produce. It's easy for me to tell when restaurants use high-quality seafood and prepare it with care and skill, and those are the places I find myself returning to often."

"The City of Angels is flush with seafood-laden food trucks, some more famous than others, and most of them are cranking out fantastic food at low prices. Although there is something quintessentially Los Angeles about eating tacos over the hood of your car, when I am craving raw seafood like mariscos, oysters, or crudos, I usually prefer to have a seat at a real table with a crisp beverage - and all of my favorite spots offer those things and more."
