USA Daily Live Seafood Market in Long Beach

Inside USA Daily Live Seafood Market

USA Daily Live Seafood Market is a hands-on seafood spot nestled in Long Beach’s industrial edge on Cherry Avenue. This is the kind of place where freshness takes center stage, catering mostly to locals who want to take their catch home or have it prepared on-site before heading out. The market buzzes with a practical vibe—rows of live crabs, lobster tails, tiger shrimp, and oysters are displayed visibly, inviting you to get as detailed as you want with your seafood choices.

One of the standout features here is the option to have your seafood cleaned or even cooked right at the market. Whether you’re picking up female spider crabs loaded with roe or scouting for live sea urchins, the staff readily assists with straightforward advice and handling, which is especially handy for anyone less familiar with preparing fresh shellfish. Keep in mind, though, if you’re thinking about pairing your meal with a beer, you’ll need to bring your own as they don’t sell alcohol.

Parking can be a bit tricky given the market’s industrial neighborhood setting and limited space, so it’s best to plan your visit during less busy hours if possible. Regular customers appreciate the place for its consistency and genuine local flavor, returning over the years for its reliable stock and no-frills service.

This is not a polished fish boutique but a practical, neighborhood seafood market where people come to shop seriously for quality ingredients. Early mornings or weekday visits tend to offer a calmer environment, giving you space to browse and chat with the knowledgeable staff. If you’re in Long Beach and focused on finding fresh live seafood with some extra help from staff who know their stuff, USA Daily Live Seafood Market serves up just that kind of straightforward experience.

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. They were still in a shell but in a tub of ice and not in sea water to retain its freshness. It also barely had any roe in it and looked like it had been out of the ocean for at least 3-4 days as the inside was melting already and started to smell. I'm a sea urchin fanatic so I still ate it. They also cleaned it for me so that's why I gave 4 stars. If they keep urchins in the water I would have given 5.

Fresh seafood & good balut. Definitely my go to spot to buy spider crabs when Im out in the LBC! Here, you can purchase FEMALE crabs (full of roe), cant find that anywhere in the bay area & they dont sell spider crabs in the bay. They keep it pretty clean & also have great customer service. The employees are willing to help answer questions that you may have or help you grab your choice of seafood. They also cook it for you on the spot too!
