    Fish,  Deviled Crab,  Shrimp
    Erika S.

    I was visiting family, we had a very large group, and they were able to accommodate us and were very friendly. While I was skeptical of the idea of seafood in Whiteville, it was ok. I got the fish and shrimp and decided to try the little deviled crab. The portions are big which is good, but my biggest complaint is that they do not clean the shrimp. What is the point of having a huge amount of shrimp if they all have the vein going down the back. I couldn't even look at it, let alone eat it, so the shrimp was just wasted, I tried the deviled crab and it wasn't that great so I didn't really eat it. The fish itself was good though and the hush puppies were delicious I would not come again unless I'm only getting fish and hush puppies but it is great for big groups.

    Where do I begin??? Growing up my family came down to Whiteville to visit family and we would always eat here! I was in town attending my aunt's funeral and we decided to grab a bite before heading back to WV. I ordered the pick two and the hubs ordered the small seafood platter! WOW!!! It was out of this world!!! Fresh & delicious!! Becky is by far the best waitress I've ever had ANYWHERE!! Thank your for making a sad bittersweet day, better with great food and service!!

    Food was delicious and service was excellent (Thank you Susan!). Everything was fried to golden perfection, and hubby enjoyed the beef tips. The French fries and hush puppies were exceptionally good!

    Steak tips with onions and peppers. Also,sweet potato fries with baked apples.

    When you think seafood,you think Dales! Dales in Whiteville is my all time go to for extraordinary seafood! If you want steamed oysters, go to Dales! If you want fish,shrimp,scollops,develed crab go to Dales! They not only have seafood, they have delicious sirloin tips, baked chicken,pork chops, ect.. They have terrific sides along with a salad bar. During the weekday they have a great lunch special a meat and two sides. Everyone in town is here; there are alot of regulars. Also, so many people travel from all over the state to eat here! We like go visit Calabash,to do some thrift store shopping, but rather than eat there( the seafood capitol),we always come back to eat at Dales!!! Alan Gerald along with his Mom Lois,have really been a valuable asset to the city of Whiteville,as well as all of Columbus County. It's conveniently located on Hwy 701. It's a great stop on the way to the beach! Dales has some banquet rooms to accommodate large wedding parties, civic groups, high school reunions, ect...It is a real treat to have a party here!!! They have some incredible cooks, and Wait staff! This is such a fun,friendly,and inviting place! I have traveled to many places for great seafood. Hands down,Dales is the best! Absolutely, the freshest and tastiest seafood,around!

    Great for lunch more of a selection at lunch than at dinner. The stew beef at lunch is the best around.

    For some reason my wife and family do not like Dales Seafood but I sure do. Boiled shrimp is really good.

    We really enjoyed our visit to the Fish House. The service was excellent and the food was hot,…read morefresh and delicious. My husband had the choose 3 - shrimp, flounder and clam strips. I had the shrimp burger with fries. The plate was overflowing with shrimp. We'll be back!

    If you are looking for the classic frozen pre-breaded drop it in the fryer seafood, this place is…read morenot for you. The Fish House in Whiteville NC is the real deal. I watched them take a flounder fillet that was sitting on ice in a cooler and bread it along with some shrimp that I had ordered. In a few minutes, I had some the best fried seafood I had ever eaten. I honestly can't think of any better fried seafood I have had. There have been some places that come close, but you can get world-class fried seafood in Whiteville NC if you know where to find it. It's a little hard to find as it is not on the main drag and the signage is lacking. Make sure you bring cash as they do not take credit/debit card. I think if they did, they would do a better business as their prices are moderate. They are a little more expensive than the places that take it out of the freezer and drop it in the fryer. Another reviewer noted poor customer service. I have been there about a half a dozen times, and they have provided me, and the other customers I observed, with fantastic, friendly, customer service. I am not questioning the other reviewer's experience, but I don't think it's the norm by any means.
