Local First Responders Thanked With 'World Famous Shrimp Trays'

LONG BEACH, CA — The San Pedro Fish Market, a longtime establishment renown for its seafood, has delivered more than a thousand of its legendary "World Famous Shrimp Trays" to healthcare workers and first responders across Long Beach, San Pedro and Los Angeles, as a show of appreciation to those working the coronavirus frontlines.

Some 1,200 platters were donated in recent weeks, feeding, treating and thanking the workers at local medical centers, police and fire departments to the menu favorite — a seafood feast typically ordered by more than 2 million patrons a year at San Pedro Fish Market in "normal," pre-COVID-19 times.

Restaurant crews prepped and delivered multitudes of the trays to the hard-working recipients at sites including: the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center; Los Angeles Fire Department stations 36, 40, 48, 101, 110, 111 and 112; Long Beach Police Department and its marine patrol and SWAT teams; Little Company Of Mary Hospital; Little Sisters of the Poor; Memorial Hospital Of Gardena; and the St. Mary, Memorial Care Long Beach and VA medical centers, the business said.

The "World Famous Shrimp Tray" features mounds of shrimp with onions, tomatoes, fajita bell peppers and potatoes and served with house-made garlic bread, and appears on the eatery's web series Kings of Fi$h. Diehard fans across the country even order for nationwide shipment via Goldbely and Amazon.

Locals keen on picking up or home delivery of the "World Famous Shrimp Tray" can do so at San Pedro Fish Market sites, including on Nagoya Way in San Pedro, on East Marina Drive in Long Beach and the Market Grilles on Sepulveda Boulevard in Harbor City and on West G Street in Wilmington. The Rolling Hills Estate eatery is shuttered during the pandemic. The $20 tray feeds four and is available through May 3. Follow this link for more information.

San Pedro Fish Market teams at both San Pedro and the Long Beach restaurants continue to gear up for additional donations throughout the region to frontline workers, management said.
