Seafood Ranch Market

Located in the heart of Carson, whose population is over 20% Filipino, Seafood Ranch Market (not associated with either Seafood City or 99 Ranch) has a really good selection of Filipino brand food, along with fresh Asian vegetables (including Filipino long string beans). Found the largest selection of ube jam brands I've seen, along with frozen bangus (marinated, non-marinated, baby, boneless...they have it all). My biggest gripe is that products are not marked with price, so you have to look for signs. And in MANY cases, there were no visible signs so had to ask the cashier. And like other Asian markets...if the smell of seafood gets to you, this is not the place to be.

Not as huge or popular as its more known counterpart (Seafood City) but the selections are just as good. Fresh produce, fresh seafood, fresh meat. A great variety of junk food as well as canned goodies from the homeland. I even discovered a few items I never thought would make it to these United States. They also keep up with cleanliness. Not one thing wasn't where it's supposed to be. I wonder if they have someone going around just to make sure of that! It's a good alternative if you can't find what you're looking for at the bigger store. Definitely returning!

Service was not the best. There were two cashiers that were soo busy talking and singing to each other rather than ringing customers up. Product prices are way tooo high.

Good products, guys at the seafood area are great but cashiers have a really bad customer service.

A few weeks ago, I read an article in the Los Angeles Times about seasonal herbs, spurred by the Vietnamese who clamored for tastes of home. I remembered my days growing up in Vietnam, the fresh herbs that were added to every meal made each meal sing in harmony. Well, maybe that was just a dream, because I was born in the Imperial Valley. The freshest herbs we had was the cilantro that sprouted up next to the mulberry tree.However, I began a hunt for these fresh herbs. I found them at Seafood Ranch Market. This small grocery store definitely caters to Asian tastes. I love taking my time to explore these kinds of markets, but because I was on my way to my diabetes education class, I couldn't really spend too much time looking around. In the produce section, they had the things that I typically expect a grocer to have: tomatoes, onions, avocados, carrots, etc. However, I was blown away by the amount and variety of fresh herbs that were being sold. I picked up a few bags and decided to take a chance on them. They were from plants I had never even heard of. (I took them home, washed them and tried a few leaves. Bitter and spicy. I love them! I am trying to figure out how to best highlight that sensation.) Most of the herbs were already packaged in plastic bags with a barcode sticker on them. No weighing at check out! ( I appreciated that.) I also got a bag of green beans. They were the absolutely freshest and tasty ones I have ever eaten. (Well, when I have picked fresh beans, those were better, but these were right up there.) The meat and fish counters had very fresh looking food. There was NO seafood smell, a sign of freshness. The butchers and fishmongers were eager to help customers. I saw one of them scaling and fileting a fish. It saves on mess at home! If I weren't on my way to a class, I would have picked up some fish and meat. There are all manner of noodles, sauces, oils and candies. There were frozen foods and other aisles that I didn't venture down. This place isn't close to where I live, but I know that I will be able to find the herbs there, when in season. I will be back. It is right across the street from Carson High School, but don't let that scare you. There were no teenagers in there and they had just gotten out of summer school.

Always find fresh Asian vegetables and fruits and butcher shops with plenty of meats and seafood readily available! Great place to shop.

Wonderful selection of European import foods and nice fresh fish. Local in Palos Verdes. Highly recommended.

First of all I'm Filipino and will understand how lots of the Filipino community are. We are, what seems like, a bit nosy at times and we love to gossip.. One of the cashiers here, who has been working here for a very long time, knows me and my parents. One day out loud, she asked my mom "ymYour daughter is on dialysis, Huh?" During this time, I had been quiet about my health and didn't really want many people to know. I thought this cashier was very rude to abruptly ask this question and to say it out loud, during their busy time.Then why do I come back?I have to admit that I keep coming back because this market has been renovated and carries a huge variety of imported goods as well as fresh meats and vegetables.Because the market really isn't too large, it's much easier to get around. It may not look like much, because of its size, but trust me they carry plenty.After school hours are the worst here. Because the market is across the street from Carson high school, the parents park here while they're waiting for the kids to get out. Weekends usually aren't too bad.Beyond the supermarket itself, it's excellent. Because of that cashier, and some of the rude staff behind the meat department, I had to give this 3 stars.

Bad customer service which wasn't a good experience cashier didn't greet me just scanned my items and I paid for them no words

I love it! Very cozy place to do your grocery and most if not all employees are all really friendly, and courteous!
