We received menu samplings. All opinions are our own. A few weeks ago, the family and I drove up to Hermosa Beach for some shopping and walks on the beach before dinner plans at Hermosa Beach Fish Shop. The first thing we notice is this large outdoor menu located right before you enter the restaurant. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Start at the top, choose your fish, then choose your marinade.
