A&J seafood shack — Restaurant in Long Beach

Great seafood restaurant in the corner of Anaheim and Obispo. The parking here is VERY limited and small, so I suggest for you to park by Food 4 Less across the street. Seating is also limited and it is outside.

Ordered a Salt & Pepper Shrimp and Crispy Salmon plates.

The S&P Shrimp was great. Evenly battered and seasoned well. Shrimp was cooked well, too. I don't eat shrimp tails but they also batter theirs and it comes out soooo crispy and good. I gobbled it all up! It came with pickled cabbage and carrots and some jalapenos on the side.

The crispy salmon was also amazing. It is lightly battered but seasoned well. The salmon skin is sooo good and crispy. The salmon was flaky. It came with a mango salsa which could be their take on a papaya salad cuz this one is a bit spicy but refreshing. This also came with a fermented fish sauce on the side which enhanced the flavor of the salmon giving it that funky salty and sour punch.

Lastly the chicken egg roll is a bit basic. I could barely taste the chicken nor feel its texture. At least it's crispy and hot! It came with a basic sweet chili sauce. Save your money from this.

The rice they use is kinda like sushi or sticky rice. It's very soft and sticky but I didn't mind it.

Would come back to try...

This has literally been my new favorite place to eat for almost 2 months now. Everything I have tried on the menu has been delicious! If your trying for the first time, I recommend the stir fry noodles, or the beef sticks! It's so crave worthy, I eat there at least once a week. The special of the month for October was crispy fried salmon and I wouldn't be lying when i day it's one of the best thing's I've ever eaten. So, so, yummy that my Boyfriend and i got it for 3 days in a row! Lol Once you're hooked, i suggest you just go ahead and try each thing on the menu and choose your favorites too! Enjoy! I forgot one last thing! Actually it's more of a request... Please please stay open later! There are times when i get that urge.. And your closed! Definitely perfect for the late night munchies!.. But for now i just have to get...

Summary: the best lobster we've ever had. But we won't be going back till the prices go back down.

My wife has been on a lobster craze recently and so we've been going around town finding lobster. A&J had probably the best seasoned lobster of all the 7 places we tried. As of this writing, it's about $45 for the lobster, which really puts a dent in your wallet. The lobster is only a pound, max, and they subsidize some of the lobster with shrimp in the box so it doesn't look as empty.

Even if it's the best lobster, $45 for ~1lb and some shrimp is WAY too expensive. Honestly can't afford to come here with that price tag

Other amazing dishes were the grilled shrimp and the fried squid. Sure, these are way more affordable, but their lobster is definitely...
