Great provider of local seafood! Very nice and friendly staff. They are always willing to answer any questions.

Fresh crabs, big scallops and shrimp... Not much else you could ask for. It's not fancy because it's fresh off a boat, and that's what matters when it comes to seafood! read more

Captain Mike's Seafood - crabs oysters fish - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ridgeland, South Carolina

Amazing. The staff was so sweet and welcoming. We purchased shrimp and scallops and all were fresh and delicious!!!

We LOVE living right across from Captain Mikes. They have the freshest seafood at a fair price and everyone is so knowledgeable about their products. We don't go anywhere else for our fresh seafood. read more

A real find and worth the stop. Fresh and tasty seafood. Prices hard to believe. Should have bought more.

I would have given this spot a 5 star rating but once I got home with my "dozen" blue crabs I realized that I'm there were only 10 in the bag. The service was fine and the 10 crabs I had and seasonings were delicious but integrity is important. Had I not drove an hour to get them I would have returned them. read more

Captain Mike's Seafood - a blue crab in a bowl - Seafood Markets Near Me - Ridgeland, South Carolina

See all

Normally, the seafood I purchase at Mike's is very good and fresh. However, today, I purchased 2 soft shell crabs and asked if they are still "soft". I was told yes. They were not and what we from Jersey refer to as "Tinbacks". Others refer this to "papershells". I have been eating soft shell crabs since I was 9 years old and when a child made my own shedder box to get the crab as it shed its shell. The crabs I purchased today (4/1/2020) were, by far, the worst I have ever purchased. They tasted great from what I could eat. It is apparent that Mike's is selling soft shell crabs that are beyond their date for being soft. From the molt stage, there are only 4 days to consider the crab as soft enough to eat the entire crab. I purchased 2 crabs and ate the equivalency of one. If you go to Mike's for softshell crabs demand to be able to touch the crab. Do not touch the top shell but the claws and the points of the top shell. Will go back to see what they say. read more

Fresh fish and shrimp at reasonable prices. What's not to like? Plus, you may be visited by the resident rooster while you're there!

Looks can be deceiving. I went here in search of shrimp after reading the review on the way from hilton head to edisto. It seemed like a hole in the wall, prices were just ok but the shrimp were very good. I cooked a pound of head on in a low country boil and sauteed a pound in garlic and butter, absolutely delicious. read more

Great fresh seafood at reasonable prices. Honest about when / where everything came from. My go to place.

Ordered 1/2 bushel of male blue crabs, they were small, VERY light and there were not even close to a half of bushel. This is very disappointing because we drove an hour to get them. read more

Went to buy some scallops today but left without anything , I originally asked for 6 scallops when they were weighed up they weren't even half a pound so asked the lady if I could have a couple more..... no reply just puffing and grunting with such a bad attitude, sorry if I was interfering with her having her lunch. So rude! My suggestion to you love is that you seem to like the public so much you may want to consider being a light house keeper. Glad she doesn't work for me. read more

Stopped there and picked up some fish. Staff friendly n fish fresh. Good place to shop for seafood

Excellent source for fresh seafood at a reasonable price. Take a few minutes to drive off island, your wallet and stomach will be glad you did. You will find a great selection of crazy fresh seafood at a reasonable price. read more

Hands down best chicken and shrimp I've ever had, looking forward to trying their turkey necks next visit. Very friendly staff and great service read more

So today, 4/5/2019, all I wanted in the world was soft shell crabs. Captain Mike's had fresh and live soft shell crabs and they were able to accommodate my request to prep the crabs. I also purchased red snapper and cod fish. I must say Captain Mike's has the freshest seafood I've ever tasted. I prepared the softshell crabs and the red snapper and there was no fishy smell in the house. I love this place! I will always get my seafood from Captain Mike's and staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Jo C. from Bluffton read more

Wonderful variety of local and regional fresh shellfish and fish. Good prices. Friendly owner.

My husband and I love seafood, so every time we vacation near the coast, we pack a cooler and depend on Yelp to find a seafood market to stock up on fresh seafood on the way back home. From the outside you may be hesitant, because it is definitely nothing fancy. It is a small building next to a former gas station which was converted into some sort of flea market. If it weren't for the previous reviews I may have passed this place by. Needless to say, that would have been a huge mistake. We bought 2 lbs of jumbo shrimp, 2 lbs of crab legs (they did come frozen, fyi), and what I believe to be the most gorgeous (and delicious) snapper filet both my husband and I have ever eaten. The shrimp was also excellent and very fresh. We have not gotten to cook the crab legs yet, but they also looked amazing. As others have said, do not waste your money on the overpriced seafood on Hilton Head...come here instead. You will definitely not be disappointed! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and the location made it easy for us to stop on our way home. All of the fish looked good but I just can't say enough about the quality of the snapper. They are honest about what is fresh and what is frozen, and we still can't get over the great prices. I could literally go on and on about how happy I was with this place.......! read more

Do not let the look of this place fool you. Excellent fish, shrimp,oysters... Almost shockingly economical. We figure it is half what we used to pay in the Florida Keys. Plus, the young woman running the show is very friendly. In most fish places, my experience is that they are always yelling at you. Not here. We bought a half bushel of Oyster clusters last time and they were superb. I say stop in and check it out. read more

I love this place! Fresh seafood and great variety. I always get the ahi tuna (even though it is flash frozen) and grouper. Looking forward to trying the scallops and blue crabs. read more

Bought shrimp and scallops for a Friday night dinner. Awesome! People were very friendly and helpful.

If you are in Bluffton, and don't mind driving an extra mile or two, go here. I was sorely disappointed with the unusually high prices at the Bluffton Oyster company. No one should charge so much when there is no middleman. The Mahi Mahi, shrimp, grouper, and Jonah crab claws were awesome and well priced. This will be our go to place for fresh seafood. read more

Always accommodating and has great seafood and prices. Open today til 3:00 today 4th of July. Been shopping there for several years, never disappointed. Just left with my 2# head on shrimp. Large is Huge. read more

Incredible quality and great prices. They guys at capt Mikes blue water seafood have all worked as commercial fishermen and know what they are doing. Easy to stop coming to or from Hilton head. Do not pay high prices on island and quality is not as good either. Easy detour off 95. I just loaded up coming back from Jacksonville, FL to Charlotte. Their fish is so fresh you don't even have the fishy smell. I just prepped a hand cut salmon filet and some grouper and you could not even smell i had 6 lbs of fish out in the kitchen :) I won't stop again at the tourist traps on HHI. read more

Absolutely the freshest seafood in the ares. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. The red snapper is a fav of mine and you cannot get better shrimp. Prices are more than fair. Do I love this place? Hell yes read more
