This place is legit! We randomly found them on the yelp map and decided to try it out! So glad we did. We had the large garlic seafood boil and it didn't disappoint. The crab, shrimp, sausage, eggs, potato, and corn were all perfectly prepared and seasoned! We only had a little to take home but the leftovers didn't last long the second we pulled in the driveway. The people there were all super friendly and accommodating. Their recommendations were spot on! We will be back! read more

Wife and I went to this eatery for the first time today. Very please with our meals. We actually tried to go and eat in, two weeks ago. But it was a Sunday, and they do a buffet on Sundays. We couldn't get near the place. So we called in an order today, and my wife picked it up on her way home from work. My wife had the dark meat chicken dinner. She doesn't do seafood. As her sides she had a double order of hush puppies, and regular fries. She doesn't each Cole slaw either. Not sure what is wrong with her. I had the 3 piece seafood dinner, with fish, scallops, and deviled crab. My sides were hush puppies, Cole slaw, and fries. The food was excellent. Plentiful and lots of flavor. My wife said her chicken was the best she has had, since we moved here 6 years ago. My seafood meal was really good also. The filet of fish was cooked perfectly. And they gave me plenty of scallops, and a large deviled crab. The sides were good and tasted fresh made. As did everything on our plates. The meals reminded us of the great church dinners we loved when we lived in Md. You can tell, the people who prepared the meals, cares about what they are doing. The lady who took my phone order, and waited on my wife, very pleasant. She was welcoming and proud of their business. That means a lot. Why not 5 stars? Well the place is difficult to find. And is truly just a fresh fish market, where they serve good meals. If we hadn't heard such good things about their food previously, we would not have stopped there. But very glad we did. My wife let her know, if we liked the food we would be regulars. We will be back. read more

The seafood part was cooked perfectly. I got the shrimp and flounder with rice. The rice was not cooked very well..had a lot of hard pieces in it. Get the fries instead of the rice. My Papa got a small seafood platter to go. He got shrimp, perch or spot fish, and oysters with fries. The hush puppies were amazing so was the coleslaw. I normally don't eat coleslaw but I would definitely get it again. It is to go only except on Sunday. I have heard great reviews from neighbors about their buffet. It is a total hole in the wall, but my family was raised up with them, and they are really good people. Used to be the old Bobby Browns on 701North. Wait is 1-2 hours to get your food so please call ahead. Give them a try! I think their only problem is being short staffed. But we will be back. read more

I gotten crab many times and raw fish to fry at home they were good, no complaints. Plenty of people go there and I spoke with a couple of them and they are always satisfied. read more

The crab boil I got for takeout was excellent. It's easy to drive by this place and never notice it. My only recommendation is to call and place your order ahead of time. Looking forward to trying some of the other seafood next time we visit the daughter in Conway, SC. read more

I hadn't been here in a while and Sunday afternoon I decided to get a to go order. Drove over and they were closing up at 6 pm, not the 7 pm advertised online. The lady didn't seem interested in me ordering anything. When I did, she walked back to the kitchen and said it would be 15 minutes before it was ready. Food was Luke warm at best. Slaw was warm........? read more

It smelled like a seafood market but the crab boil is spectacular! Must try! I am a big fan of crab legs and this is the best I've had.

Perfect place hidden away. Nothing fancy, but delicious food every time. I will say that it's not the fastest service, but the food is always fresh and worth the wait. read more

Fresh Water Fish Company - Seafood Markets Near Me - Conway, South Carolina

The freshwater fish company is a little restaurant that I went to today with some co-workers just outside Conway, SC. This is one of those hole-in-the-wall joints that you're driving down the road and you see it you think why would I stop there. Luckily for me the people I was with knew about it already and that's why we went there. It's not only a fresh fish market but it is also a wonderful restaurant run by a lovely older couple who have the best selection of fresh fish crab among other items. I decided to go for the buffet lunch which included items like fresh tilapia fresh smelt fresh Fried Chicken all kinds of side dishes rice beans coleslaw. I paid $6.99 for an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. Now keep in mind it is all fried food so it's not good for you but hey it was amazingly prepared so I loved it. I would say if you are in Conway South Carolina stop in this place and pay it a visit it was amazing read more

Great food! Don't let the outside fool you, it's great food! If you want take out, just call, order, give pick up time and it's hot and ready when you get there. read more

After seeing the delicious looking pics on FB I decided to try out the crab leg boil. And it was delicious!! I ordered at 3 by phone and they told me they would not be ready for an hour. When I got there I waited maybe 25 more min. If you want quick this is not the place for you. But if you want GOOD seafood this IS the place to go. There is a small kitchen and this is REAL COOKED like mama cooks food so there is a wait but I didn't care. There was 6 of us waiting on orders and they can only cook so fast! Was it worth the wait??? YES!! Everything was perfect and Hot! I got old bay seasoning and garlic. The restrauant is nothing fancy and you will miss it if you are not looking but the people working there were super friendly and the man behind these great crab leg boils even remembered I had asked a few questions on FB!! If the wait bothers you call ahead and order. I ate every bite! It was good I may go back tomorrow for more!! read more

Not much to look at from the road, We actually passed it because of its unassuming facade. The interior was just as unattractive, it felt like an urban community center kitchen with mismatch chairs, non-descript tables, and tables that were covered with an assortment of mismatched table cloths. The next thing we noticed was the odor of fish. There was an ice tub/counter with the days' catch that was full of ice and fresh fish, but the prep counter was filthy and probably the source of the unappetizing smells. There was also a quarter filled aquarium on the service counter that was full of algae and probably had some live fish in there, but couldn't see any. The person behind the counter was sullen and not very friendly or welcoming, but the price was very reasonable for a seafood restaurant. It's not billing up to a high rating at this point due to the above conditions thus far. We were on a road trip and we were trying to get an affordable yet tasty meal on the run, big miss here. It took nearly 45 minutes from the time of ordering to delivery and we were the only customers. Food finally arrived and we took it to go. I ordered crab cakes dinner with sweet potato fries and coleslaw, it also came with 4 hush puppies. The crab cakes were tasty, tender, full of crab meat and quite savory. The hush puppies were hot and fluffy, but that ends the positive observations of this combination. The sweet potato fries were wet and soggy and lacked any real attention to flavor. The coleslaw was overly sweet when it really did not need to be with copious amounts of dressing and raisins. This may be a regional preference, but not one that I would want again. My wife ordered the fried scallops with rice and the scallops were seasoned very well, but a bit over cooked and were a little chewy. The rice was also over cooked but seasoned well. Same coleslaw issue. Overall impression was that given a choice to eat here again, the negatives far outweighed the positives. Poor and unwelcoming service, shabby exterior and interior, uninviting ambiance, and food that could have been fast and fabulous was merely slow and less than average. The price was good, but couldn't make up for the big misses. Sorry, but I would not recommend. read more

Talk about a hole in the wall! Very unassuming building out in the country. Wide range of menu choices. I opted for the shrimp and oyster dinner. It took quite some time but that was expected and worth the wait. The first sensation was that everything was piping hot. Cole slaw was superb with raisins. Fries were outstanding. Fried shrimp were perfectly fried. Oysters were large, succulent, sweet. WOW! The best hush puppies ever. No frills, just the best seafood. Frequented by locals who seemed to recognize each so I stood out as an outsider but felt very welcome. read more

Great food in this little out of the way place. The food was fresh and hand made. Kids had cheeseburgers and ate every bite! Hand patted meat. Fish was fresh and hand battered, Cole slaw was great with raisins that added just the righr amount of sweetness, crab cakes that wasn't bread. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and chef. Wonderful guy. This is not fast food. It's home cooking at its best. It's not a flashy building inside or out. Don't let the lady behind the counter scare you off...she isn't very friendly but warms up. read more

Always GREAT food and very laid back, down home Southern food...doesn't look like much on the outside, but the food ROCKS!! The people that work there are so nice, and accomodating. I try and eat there whenever I go through that part of SC. DON'T MISS THIS RESTRAURANT!! read more

Fantastic. Each plate is prepared to order, so you'll need to kick back and wait to get your food. But it's worth it. And the service is laid back and very friendly. I only wish they served beer. read more

Me and my family stopped by this restaurant heading to the beach and it was AMAZING. I live in New Orleans and my expectations are always very high when it comes to seafood. Well, the owner greeted us and he accommodated us even though he was transitioning to dinner. He cooked for us and the food was incredible. He even gave us complimentary seafood items because we had to wait a bit for our food to come out. It was worth the wait! His whole family was very kind and attentive. If you are looking for a good place to eat home cooked seafood, think no more and go here. Excellent food! read more

This place is a gem. Just had the white fish, grits and hush puppies. Simply amazing, you will not be hungry afterwards. I will always equate Myrtle Beach with the Fresh Water Fish Company. read more

It doesn't look like much (we initially drove right past it), but it's good. Just past Dollar General on opposite side of 701, rural. Fried seafood (I had flounder; my boyfriend had oysters), sweet potato fries, coleslaw with raisins, hush puppies. I don't know if they also grill the fish instead of fry it; they didn't ask us how we wanted it. :) You order your food at the kitchen window and seat yourself, pour your own drink (which we thought was just fine/relaxed; just be aware). Our two meals were about $20, which we thought was a great deal. Plenty of fish on our plates. You can also buy uncooked seafood by the pound to take home and cook. Fish and prices looked good. I gave it only four stars instead of five because when we walked in, we just stood there for several minutes by the front counter without being greeted by any of the three or four people working there (they were not at all busy; there was a two-top about to leave and one woman waiting for a to-go order). Finally, one woman walked back into the kitchen, came to the window and nicely, with a smile, hollered at us: "Y'all want to order some food?" So we walked over to her and did just that. After we started eating, that same woman, from the kitchen window, asked us if we were all right. I don't want or expect to be smothered by servers, but I would have appreciated a "Hi! Welcome! Order at the window when you're ready" when we came in instead of being left standing there like the first-time dufuses that we were. I would go back. Food and prices very good. read more

OMG, this was a great experience. I grew up eating fresh caught fish and this restaurant brought back memories. This is a fish market/restaurant. We ordered fish to go and also had lunch in the restaurant. They cleaned our fish then took it to kitchen and cooked it, wow talking about fresh. I would definitely be go back when I was traveling through that part of SC. DONT MISS THIS SPOT!! read more

I love the soul food buffet style dining! Everything is delicious. Seriously, EverythinG. Aside from the buffet they have other things you can order, like cheese burgers, chicken tenders, porkchop sandwiches, catfish nuggets, and more. The best hushpuppies I have ever tasted! In addition, they sell fresh water fish; whiting, red snapper, spots, croaker, black bass, and more. You can find live blue crabs, scallops, oysters, clams, and shrimp too. You won't be disappointed! read more

Searched Yelp for seafood reviews near Conway for a Sunday afternoon (230 pm). Exterior of the place says "drive on by" but parking lot full so we u-turned and took the chance. Restaurant was filled with Sunday church diners enjoying an extensive buffet for $8.99 (I think). We wanted fish so walked to kitchen prep counter & were told "whatever we want." Our fried flounder & shrimp were hot & delicious. Plastic forks, paper towels & decor from run-down-ago except for flat screen showing CNN. Staff kept us updated on food cooking as buffet was hopping & refills constant. But the building, unused fish counter & general down graded appearance may put some people off. We watched one couple walk in, glance at buffet & walk out. But food was good, staff friendly (although cashiet could work a little harder at greeting & informing patrons as they arrive). It was clear this is a place for locals...but we enjoyed our lunch. read more
