Quality Seafood at Affordable Prices

The votes are in and it’s official — this place is a true crowd pleaser. Voted by locals as the best seafood restaurant in the valley for six years straight years, Fisherman’s Market & Grill purchases the freshest and highest quality seafood and the flavors speak for themselves. Says owner Louis Pagano, “I grew up crewing on my father’s boat and cooking in his restaurant in San Pedro. Seafood is something I know very well.”

Now, his seafood is something the whole country knows well. Both the Travel Channel’s Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations, and the Food Network’s Rachel Ray of Under $40 A Day, have given rave reviews to the eatery’s popular Fish Tacos. Bourdain went so far as to say, “If I lived in the area, I’d be in here every day.”

The food isn’t just good — it’s good for you. Fisherman’s Lifeboat Menu is endorsed by the International Heart and Lung Institute for heart-healthy entrées all under 200 calories. Patrons order directly from an efficient counter staff, and food is delivered to the table straight from the open kitchen. Every dish is cooked to order in the method of your choice — fried in 100% cholesterol-free canola oil, charbroiled, or finished on the Boston Grille.

Fisherman’s Market & Grill has four convenient locations. Both the Palm Desert and La Quinta locations are in neighborhood shopping plazas with ample parking. The downtown Palm Springs store sports a fun and funky cocktail and oyster bar, Shanghai Reds, where the late-night crowd can eat and drink until midnight. The newest location in Banning offers both sit-down dining and drive-thru options just off Interstate 10.

Providing hungry diners with fresh cooked-to-order seafood in a casual yet upscale atmosphere keeps them coming back for more. Customers love the flavorful seasonings and consistency of the fresh fish served up daily. One way the company assures high quality seafood is by its life-long relationships with commercial markets and vessels in San Pedro the Port of Los Angeles where they can assure freshness by bringing it in fresh daily.

Open for lunch and dinner daily, Fisherman’s Market & Grill is a tasty stop for premium seafood served in a relaxed atmosphere at affordable prices everyone can appreciate.
