If there was one place in the world that beckoned to professional eaters, like a Kumite tournament for eating champions, it'd be the San Pedro Fish Market.
The Fish Market is home of the legendary seafood Super Tray. You know, the one that's stacked with succulent seafood items like giant shrimp, crawfish, mussels, and fried or steamed tilapia.
The new event to hit the national eating circuit, The San Pedro Fish Market World Famous Shrimp-Eating Championship Presented By The Kings of Fi$h, will take place on Monday, May 28, at 11a.m. The shrimp spectacle will be held in the Battleship Iowa Museum in Los Angeles, CA.
Hungry participants have eight minutes to crush as many of San Pedro Fish Market's shrimp as they can.
Joey Chestnut, ranked 1st in the nation by Major League Eating, will be one of the prime competitors partaking in this massive shrimp feast.
