| - I wasn't sure what to expect. Seems people either love this place or hate it. I will admit when we pulled up in the parking lot and based on the negative reviews, I was wondering if we made the right choice. It looks run down and dirty from the outside. We almost didn't go inside but since we were there, what was the worse? We could just walk out.
So inside we went and I didn't have the strong rancid smell that another reviewer mentioned. You walk in and to the left is a "store" section. Limited items of Asian food, Hispanic items, and seafood seasoning. To the right, you have your seafood section. It is lined up with fish and other items. They have a row of seats that you can sit on - I guess for when it gets busy. We weren't exactly sure what the process was to order so we hung up back and watched others. They were pretty busy when we were there. So to get fish, you pick out your fish and place in a basket and then hand off to them. I actually enjoy being able to pick out my own fish, rather than pointing and letting them pick it out for you. You never really get to inspect the fish when it is done by them. I like to look it all the way over and smell it. So this was a definite plus for us. When you give them the basket of fish, you tell them how you want it clean. We went with red snapper which was $7.99lb at time of our visit. It was about $24 for two whole fish. We went with the fillet cut. They only gave us the fillets but I asked for our bones too and they had no problem giving it to us. If I am paying for the whole fish, I am going to get the whole fish. And if you are curious what I was going to do with bones and head, is make a broth.
If you want crabs or mussels, then skip right down to the counter and order from there. I went with a dozen of male crabs. The sign behind the counter said the male and female crabs were the same price but he told me that was wrong. Hmmmm.... why not fix it then? It was in dry erase. Either way, I still ordered a dozen of male blue crabs. They typically do cost more, so I wasn't to bothered.
We also got a pound of scallops. These ran us about $15 lb. And they were big and juicy.
So we came home and cooked our seafood and I must say that they were all so fresh and delicious. The red snapper was perfect. The scallops were sweet. And the male blue crabs were the best I have had since moving to Charlotte.
So outside was a bit shady, but the product we received was spot on. It was fresh and I would definitely return. I like the fact that they were super busy, guarantees the product goes in and out fast.
We would definitely return.
