We are concerned with nonlinear fractional Choquard equations involving critical growth in the sense of the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. Without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition or monotonicity condition on the nonlinearity, we establish the existence of radially symmetric ground state solutions.

Keywords: Fractional Choquard equations, ground states, Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev critical growth.
