What User doesn't like about Mel's Fish Shack:
I always find myself looking for food reminiscent of home in South Virginia. So it was a challenge to find good south-fat fish and chickens on the west coast. My search continues as this was a big farewell. I'm often over here and the line is always a mile long. I liked the cut of fish, bread, spice, not waiting. View all feedback. What User likes about Mel's Fish Shack:
This is a real hidden jewel in LA! Grilled shrimps po'boy and grilled fish locks were top notch. And the hush puppies? Get in your mouth! Come back as often as I can... View all feedback.
