I love fresh fish and seafood, so needless to say, I was thrilled when Abundant Seafood opened a…read morestall on Magwood Lane on Shem Creek. Since Abundant sells to most, if not all, of the restaurants around town, you'll often find selections that you can order at restaurants, but not available in Seafood departments at supermarkets or even Whole Foods. The options change, depending on the catch and are usually posted, along with the per lb. price, on their Facebook page. If not, there's a board in front. The store on Montague Avenue usually has a wider selection, but you'll have plenty of options on Shem Creek. Parking is limited. You can purchase a whole fish, or have them filet while you watch. It's that simple. This is the real deal!

We came to this seafood retail place based on friend's recommendation. The owner Mark catches and…read moresells fresh fishes from a facility just steps away from his boat. We went on a Saturday afternoon and he had 5 different kinds of fish. You just pick the ones you like and he will clean and filet them for you. His price is very reasonable and the fishes are very fresh. Be sure to get on his distribution list so you will be notified each time he is back with fresh fishes.

This is a small seafood market but has a good selection of fresh seafood…read more My mom lives in the area and comes here often to buy fresh seafood. She and I have bought brim, oysters, crab and shrimp. On our most recent trip it was local shrimp to make a gumbo. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, prices are decent and the selection good. There's always a line of people looking for the freshest selection at opening , which says a lot about the market. If I lived here, this would be my go-to seafood market.

You can always tell of a popular and high-quality seafood market by the smell when you walk in…read more Such as the case with H&J Seafood in Goose Creek. To be honest I wasn't hunting for fresh fish, rather I was making Jambalaya and I was craving Boudin to go with it. I called ahead to make sure they had some and the employee was very nice and while they offer many varieties, I wanted pork and rice. They took my name on Friday ensuring it would be available on Monday, which it was. Upon entering the none assuming establishment which I wasn't anticipating it in a strip mall, not that it's an issue as it's a safe area, but I was expecting a free standing establishment for some reason. The two people in there were very nice and quick to greet me. It took a minute for my eyes to lift up from the display case stuffed full of a plethora of seafood. To be honest I last lived in Charleston in 2000 and spent the rest of my life in Kansas City and Austin. Fresh seafood, especially from a dedicate monger was hard to find so it was a reestablishing my roots. H&J has not only the freshest seafood available this far inland, but plenty of cooking accessories including spices, sauces and accompaniments for all your needs. Back to the display case, blue shell crabs, oysters, clams, shrimp, scallops and more fish than I can label were all wonderfully presented as if it was a snapshot in time of the best they had to offer. If only my menu had planned for this, I would have indulged in breaking my wallet. Alas, I told the nice young lady I was the guy who called in the boudin, which she indicated to look behind me. In the free-standing fridges, I grabbed my prize while I pondered some of their other bounty. Focus...I had to maintain focus! To give a short review on the boudin, it sucked. This is a subjective point, one that I compare with many other versions I've gotten from Louisiana companies that specialize in Cajun Boudin. First there was some off-putting spice in it one that struck me odd. I texture was ok but I didn't like it. Again, I don't hold this against H&J b/c first it's a subjective matter and second it was packaged and shipped in. To wrap up, I've found my fish monger and I will be going back. I know writing a review of a seafood market while only purchasing a pork product seems disingenuous, I grew up in Charleston and was a chef, one can "smell out" frauds and this isn't a subpar place. The people are nice, the seafood fresh and the quality is the best you get unless you know someone with a boat. Drop on by if you need any sort of seafood products!
