Little Fish Melrose Hill

This spiffy new sit-down iteration of the Echo Park original continues the concept of high-quality, sustainably sourced fish and seasonal California produce. The menu is casual in form but precise in execution, with confident seasoning, technique and a clear respect for ingredients. A standout lunchtime fried fish sandwich delivers crisp, clean batter and juicy flesh with best-in-class balance, while classic preparations like the tuna melt show restraint, clarity and deep comfort without nostalgia fatigue. Dinnertime features elevated fare like seared pork and shellfish sausage, and a baked-to-order masa cake.The bright, welcoming room, well-chosen natural-leaning wines and engaged service reinforce a sense of purpose.
