USA Daily Live Seafood Market — Restaurant in Long Beach

Stopped at this spot to see if they had live sea urchin in the shell...and they did. They have a variety of fresh seafood items. They also cook your fish for you there if you'd like. Staff was friendly. Parking is a bit of hassle because it's very limited and also a tight squeeze. I would have given them 5 stars but the sea urchin was somewhat not totally fresh.

Nice selection and very clean tanks. Lobsters slightly lacked flavor and sweetness but didn't taste dirty as they can from H Mart. Cleaner than the other options I've found in the southbay however.

Too stressful for Lobsters to travel all the way here in general? Every lobster in the area is tough and stressed tasting, but these were the best available.

At $20/lb. currently, this market seems to be the best...
