This is the second time I've had an issue. The first time I bought fish there, it was so unfresh I…read morehad to throw it out immediately. Today I bought two fillets of codfish, and when I cooked them, they foamed up on the pan and had a strange smell. In my opinion, they must be using some kind of chemicals that cause the fish to foam like that. It's really disappointing that the fish is not fresh at all. My advice to others: stay away from that place.

But nothing prepared me for what I was about to taste when it was delivered to my door. I used my fingertip to sample the original and I was blown away. I found myself sampling in the manner about 7 or 8 times just to keep the flavor on my tongue. This seasoning has been used with fresh Shrimp, Chicken Breasts and Scallops. Wow!! Jay Ski's has something special going on here. The sweet, tangy, savory & heat in the herbs & spices works with almost anything!! Shrimp was broiled with butter, fresh garlic cloves, lemon juice and Jay Ski's Original rub. Chicken Breasts were baked with olive oil and Jay Ski's Hot Rub. This stuff is incredible & kicks Old Bay out of the way!! This seasoning, I'm not kidding...enhances and improves almost ANY protein. I'm not even getting paid to promote this stuff but it is THAT good. 5 Stars!!

They have all the seasonings and sides you might need - simple, fresh island food. The tacos are stupidly large and truly the most delicious tacos I have ever had in my life. They're perfectly seasoned with fresh fish - ask for the catch of the day for the freshest option! The folks that work here will walk you through the flavors of the different fish and help you choose what you need. It's a simple spot, but sometimes the simplest places are also the sweetest. I can't come to topsail without eating at least one taco and taking some fresh fish home! They even have meat in the fridge if you have non-fish eaters in your group or are looking for a good surf and turf!

The Scallops: Absolute perfection. They had that beautiful golden sear while remaining buttery and tender inside. The flavor profile was sophisticated yet allowed the freshness of the seafood to shine. The Red Snapper: A standout dish. The fish was cooked to moist, flaky perfection, showcasing a delicate balance of textures that only a top-tier chef can achieve. The Risotto: Honestly, this dish deserves its own line item in our family budget. It is so addictive that I'd happily order it every single day if I could! Out-of-this-World Service While the food was spectacular, the service was truly cosmic. It's rare to find a team that is this intuitive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They don't just take orders; they curate an experience. Every detail was anticipated before I even had to ask.

This was our first time dining here, and we were really excited to try it. Tidewater has a great…read moreselection of oysters, which is what initially drew us in. We started with a dozen oysters. Unfortunately, the presentation and accompaniments were disappointing--cocktail sauce and horseradish were combined in the same container, and the mignonette lacked flavor. More concerning, several of the oysters had small pieces of shell in them. We ordered another half dozen, but they sat on the counter for quite a while. Multiple servers walked past them before they were finally brought to our table, which was frustrating. To make matters worse, my husband noticed a server drop a ticket on the floor, pick it up, and then place it back above the food that was waiting to be served. That raised some serious concerns about food handling and cleanliness. Overall, while the oyster selection is impressive, the service and attention to detail really fell short of expectations.
