Since Long Beach is right by the Pacific Ocean, it stands to reason that seafood is a big part of life here.

There is also an international food court that presents some of the most exotic lobster dishes you have ever tasted. Bristol Farms prepares the Maine lobster dinners that are just as tantalizing.
