This was the coolest place to buy fresh seafood. We ate like queens for three days! Lobster, fresh fish, scallops & shrimp. Yummy! They will clean it for you too.

Fresh seafood; Worth the visit but come early, food stock runs out quick.

I do not buy seafood anywhere else. I've been going here since 2004. Wonderful family, great quality seafood and shellfish.

I lived in OC for over twenty years and just discovered this place few days ago. Ridiculously fresh seafood. I bought the swordfish and the local shrimps. Next time sashimi

I found Pearsons Port in late 2021 but didn’t make my first visit until early 2022. I have been impressed with the quality of seafood that they carry and the location is quite unique.The young men inside are always nice and extremely helpful, depending on what fish you buy they do offer to clean it up. I have bought the live spotted prawns, Snapper, salmon, tuna, scallops, and rock crab at this location. First good quality, sometimes the scallops are frozen but I am told they are flash frozen.My only negative is the price seems to raise quite quite. Pretty expensive for fish. Price of Fish went up 4$ in two years, snapper is up 3$, and the lobster and shrimp have skyrocketed.Other than that, this place is definitely a 5 stars.

Awesome family run business with the freshest spot prawns I've ever had! Will definitely be back
The best fish market of all time! A true piece of history here in Newport Beach! The only fish market directly on the water! The most amazing people here. Love you Pearson's!

I used to love coming here but I stopped because the last few times I went there they were selling “fresh” local swordfish during a time when the Swordfish are not around. Swordfish is seasonal. I questioned them but their convenient answer was that they had a “secret spot”.What really made me stop going was when I spoke to the local sword fishermen (Catalina Island) and they laughed and thought this fish place was a complete joke.My final confirmation of my feelings of receiving false facts was when I visited this fish market and wanted to buy fish for dinner. The seas were really rough the last two days. So much so the transportation boats to the island were canceled. With the rough seas they still said they “caught a swordfish yesterday” so it’s very fresh. Even if it was the season for catching swordfish the commercial fishermen would not have taken their boats out during rough seas.I feel it would be fine if they sold good quality frozen fish but to say it’s “fresh local” is not truthful and insulting.If they exaggerate the truth with this fish it makes me wonder what else could they “exaggerate” about.It’s been awhile since I last went there but I feel it is important to let you know.Hopefully they have corrected their lack of truthfulness and feel comfortable saying their off-season local swordfish is either fresh frozen or from a different area but, not local. And hopefully they have changed their price to reflect what they really are selling.Thank you for taking the time to read my experiences and reading my opinions. ?

Lately, even the Japanese market sashimi grade fish has been mediocre. We were desperate to find a better source.My wife and I stopped by on Sunday for the very first time. The staff is awesome and the fish is even better. We wanted sashimi grade. We got tuna, yellowtail, salmon and scallops. ALL were extremely fresh and the price was very fair... our sushi dinner party was a huge success thanks to Pearson's Port.

What a great seafood market. Everyone was extremely helpful, provided suggestions upon request and preparation ideas. They suggested the John Dory, which we sauteed with a lemon butter caper sauce and it was amazing. Also got some giant shrimp and clams, both were awesome!
