A few weeks ago I asked for recommendations for great seafood in Long Beach and so, so many of you were kind enough to deliver on that request. I am overwhelmed with places to try (but keep \u2018em coming). My cup runneth over \u2013 thank you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, you\u2019ll find many of the reader recommendations I received in my inbox. If you end up trying one of these places or you have more suggestions (any cuisine) \u2014 send me an email and you might just end up in one of my newsletters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roe Seafood<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This recommendation came from a reader named Leslie<\/strong>, and since I was heading to Naples<\/strong> last weekend, I figured I\u2019d swing by Roe<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were a lot of great menu<\/a> options, but I went for the sesame salmon<\/strong> ($33). The sesame seed crusted Scottish salmon came with saut\u00e9ed baby bok choy and carrots in a tomato shellfish nage<\/strong> (flavored poaching broth) and chili oil. The server let me know the chef usually prepares the salmon medium rare and asked if that worked for me (it did). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filet was wonderfully tender, easy to flake off with my fork and had the perfect nuttiness from the sesame seed crunch<\/strong>. The nage and veggies were a great combo, but I will admit that I was still hungry after this dish, likely because of the absence of carbs (no potatoes or grains). It\u2019s definitely a light meal so if you arrive as hungry as I did, make sure you grab an appetizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And did you know that there are two real live trees<\/strong> growing in the middle of this place? The ambiance definitely earned them some points in my book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price range: $14 to $45 per entree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sushi Nikkei <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Leslie<\/strong> also recommended Sushi Nikkei<\/strong>, a Peruvian-style sushi restaurant that was recently recognized by the Michelin Guide<\/strong>. The restaurant has two locations, its original in Bixby Knolls<\/strong> and a newer spot in Belmont Shore<\/strong>. I haven\u2019t had the pleasure of trying it yet, but here\u2019s what a Michelin inspector<\/a> had to say about dining there: \u201cCreative rolls pop with unexpected flavor combinations but the highlight of the menu is certainly the Nikkei nigiri, which flaunts Japanese techniques and Peruvian flavors in equal measure.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price range: $9 to $25 per entree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sushi Nikkei is at <\/em>5020 Second Street and 3819 Atlantic Avenue<\/em>.<\/em> <\/em> <\/em>Directions<\/em><\/a> | <\/em>Website<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker\u2019s Lighthouse<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Parker\u2019s Lighthouse was recommended to me by Eric<\/strong>, who said the grilled salmon<\/strong> there was \u201cperfect.\u201d I can\u2019t wait to see how it stacks up to Roe\u2019s Scottish salmon. The restaurant has a breathtaking view at the very tip of Shoreline Village<\/strong> and a two-story wine cellar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price range: $26 to $52 per dinner entree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker\u2019s Lighthouse<\/em> is at 435 Shoreline Village Drive. <\/em> <\/em>Directions<\/em><\/a> | <\/em>Website<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Beach Fish Grill <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Eric<\/strong> also recommended Long Beach Fish Grill<\/strong> where he had a great cajun catfish and bread bowl chowder, which with this rainy week, sounds like heaven to me<\/strong>. The family-owned restaurant has been serving the city since 2007 and offers over ten different types of fresh fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price range: $12 to $23 per entree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long Beach Fish Grill is at <\/em>1201 Redondo Avenue.  <\/em>Directions<\/em><\/a> | <\/em>Website<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Te-Buru<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This recommendation came to me from Lisa<\/strong>, who said it\u2019s one of her new favorite restaurants. They’re open until midnight (later than a lot of LB restaurants which is nice!) and offer carpaccio, a large selection of rolls, nigiri, hand rolls, and nonseafood options like tonkatsu<\/strong> (thin, crispy breaded pork). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price range: $7 to $20 per entree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Te-Buru is at 3850 Atlantic Avenue<\/em>.  <\/em>Directions<\/em><\/a> | <\/em>Website<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berth 55 Fish Market & Seafood Deli<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Walter<\/strong> recommended Berth 55<\/strong>, a quirky little joint right by the water. He said he loves their grilled shrimp plate, New England-style chowder seafood soup and his wife loves the grilled swordfish. This place also has an interesting history you can read more about here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices may vary, but plates are generally around $15 to $22. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bert 55 is at 555 Pico Avenue.  <\/em>Directions<\/em><\/a> | <\/em>Website<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New eats around town<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a new dessert shop peddling dipped cheesecakes in East Long Beach<\/strong>. No seriously, they\u2019re offering made-from-scratch cheesecake, dipped in either white or dark chocolate with toppings like Fruity Pebbles, strawberry shortcake and more. You can get all that and more at Drips Cheesecake<\/strong> near the Traffic Circle<\/strong>. Read more about it here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After months of anticipation, LA-based burger joint The Win~Dow<\/strong> finally opened in Belmont Shore this past weekend. Check out details here<\/a> and our visit to the restaurant here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a new eats yet, but here\u2019s a little scoop for you: Everywhere Brewing<\/strong> could potentially take the place of The Hangout<\/strong> on Retro Row<\/strong> next year. Read more details here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
