Reviews for Mel's Fish Shack in Los Angeles, CA
This is a true hidden gem in LA! Grilled shrimp po'boy and grilled fish wraps were top notch. And the hush puppies? Get in my... mouth! Will come back as often as I can... Read more
Fish is always fresh and Georgette, the owner, is always there with a genuine smile. You can tell she loves what she does and... interacting with customers directly. I have a shrimp allergy and she always makes sure to cook my salmon separately. Love hersalmon salad and the housemade dressing! Highly recommend. Read more
From a blk point of view (out of towner). Nothing had seasoning. So although it smelled good it was not the best or... worst...just fried fish. I had fried catfish and shrimp... they put the catfish on top of the fries which made them bothsoggy. I wouldn't come back if I was in the area. Read more
The fish is delicious! It tastes fresh and they get the food out quickly. This is not a sit down place and parking can be... difficult at the wrong times but if you order ahead you can just pick up. Read more
I love the art on the outside of the building! The most important part is the fish. Personally I get the Mrs. the fishes since... I?m veggie tarian, but the food always smells delicious. She tells me that the jumbo shrimp is amazing, and I casually believeher. I eat her fries and I become addicted to the seasonings. All in all it?s a cultural spot that is worth it. Read more
My friend and I had heard great things about Mel?s but somehow had never tried it, so we gave it a shot tonight and were not... disappointed. The staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. We ordered there and it took a minute toprepare, but it was well worth the wait. The prices are great for the size of the meals and everything we had was delicious andtasted fresh. I?d highly recommend the fried filet of sole and peach cobbler. Do yourself a favor and stop by and grab a greatdinner for you and your friends/family. Read more
I don't know what's up with the last review. But they are definitely opened! Anywho this was my first visit here, found them on... google then I was able to place a pickup order through chownow and 20 minutes later I walked in and it was ready the gentlementhat assisted me at the pickup window was nice. I ordered the shrimp and cajun catfish with potato salad and fries with a peachcobbler for dessert. Wow everything was delicious! My fries were a tad bit chilly but other then that I was satisfied with howthey cook and fried my fish and shrimp. The peach cobbler was a little small I wish they offered a small and large size but manit was like one of the best peach cobblers I've ever had. I will be returning ! Read more
I always find myself looking for food reminiscent of home in southern Virginia. So finding good southern fried fish and chicken... on the west coast has been a challenge to say the least. My search continues as this was a major let down. I passed by hereoften and the line is always a mile long. I didn't like the cut of fish, the breading, the seasoning, the wait....nothing. Read more
