🇺🇸 A&J Seafood in Long Beach – Honest Review 🦀

Tried the much-hyped A&J Seafood in Long Beach — it’s good, but not mind-blowing. Probably not worth a special trip if you’re not already in the area. 🚗💨 Here’s what we ordered: 🦐 Garlic Shrimp Over Rice – Classic and fragrant, but the rice sits in a thick layer of oil at the bottom, making it pretty soggy. 🍚⛽ 🐟 Salmon Dish – Just okay, nothing special. The salad on the side was tangy and refreshing though! 🥗✨ 🦀 Crab (Seasonal Price: $45 each) – Cooked in a style similar to spicy crab but without the heat — more sweet than spicy. Decent flavor, but not exceptional. The vibe is casual and low-key — definitely a local spot, not a fancy destination. Service was friendly but no-frills. 👍 Pros: Good if you’re craving garlic shrimp Solid portions Laid-back atmosphere 👎 Cons: Too oily for some dishes Not exceptional in flavor Parking can be tricky — typical for Long Beach 🚙 Overall: It’s tasty, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again. Maybe if I lived nearby! 🏡 If you’re in the area and want a quick seafood fix, it’s not a bad choice — just keep expectations in check. 📍 A&J Seafood Shack 📌 Check Google Maps for latest hours & location #LongBeachEats #SeafoodReview #AandJSeafood #FoodieHonestReview #NotWorthTheHype #EatLocal #LAFoodScene
