2019 Corridor of Fame

Vicente and Connie Cossio based Coni’Seafood within the late Nineteen Eighties within the yard of their Inglewood house, ultimately rising the small marisqueria into what would grow to be Coni’Seafood, a restaurant that most likely has completed greater than another to popularize traditional Nayarit-style coastal cooking in Los Angeles.

Convey buddies and order the pescado zarandeado, crisp-edged, slow-grilled snook marinated with recent citrus, chiles and mayonnaise. When you favor daring flavors, the aguachile — massive, head-on shrimp marinated in a spicy citrus marinade — is great.

For pure consolation, attempt the snacky fried tacos full of smoked marlin, or the tostaditos, mini tostadas paved with a marlin pâté and layers of minced shrimp and octopus. Second location at 4532 S. Centinela Ave., Los Angeles, (310) 881-9644.
