Tangaroa Fish Market Raw

The grilled octopus as a dish begs for improvement.The octopus itself was fine. It's served along with some salad and mayo ish sauce with squid ink ? .The salad was very acidic. I couldn't finish it. Maybe, too much vinegar was added to the dressing.Upon pointing this out to the waitress, she said I was supposed to mix it on the plate.I never found out what to mix it with the black sauce?The latter is smeared all over the plate, and covering herbs and veggies with it would make them look unappetizing.

The picture I posted there are two dishes. The big one is the whole fish of the day, deep fried. It’s really well served. It could certainly feed two people. No need for the other plate (that I forgot the name, I am sorry). I loved the outside seats (not sure if there are inside seats). There is a lot of green in the street and a nice breeze, super comfortable.

I've been coming to Tangaroa since I first moved to LA 2 years ago. The casual ambiance is not reflected in their offerings. Menu items are well thought out and flavorful with options varying depending on season. The service is and has always been friendly, which invites friendly patrons. Easy to claim this as a favorite spot of mine and my friends.

Very pricey for super forgettable average food. I've been twice. The salmon tasted fishy. The smallest portion of undercooked mussels I've ever seen. Second time, we spent over $100 for 2 glasses of wine, 2 fish tacos and a steamed corn on the cob... Too bad cause the service and atmosphere were great.Food: 1/5
