Stumbled upon Deep Sea after my husband read about it in the Charlotte Agenda. The store doubles as a seafood market (closes at 5pm daily) and restaurant (lunch and dinner).
What's good:
- fried shrimp platter (oyster combo is good too but prefer shrimp)
- clam chowder
- fish of the day - blackened or sauteed
- clam bake (steamed whole lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp, corn and sausage)
-desserts - most of their desserts are homemade and they are worth the unnecessary calories!
Not so good:
- fries - these are often undercooked and lacks crispiness
I heard their fish tacos and the elusive lobster sandwich are good. I would suggest that they put less mussels and more shrimp and sausage in their clam bake bowls. I have yet to try their market portion as we usually go to Clean Catch for sushi grade salmon or tuna, but one day we'll give their sushi grade fish a try.
It's also BYOB with a corkage fee or $2.50/person. Not bad at all!
They've been busier lately since the Charlotte Agenda article and may need to staff up on the weekends to meet the high demand. Two servers for a full restaurant and waiting parties did not suffice, but they did their best.
