Usually people want at least two good reviews of a place to make sure it's good. I'm here to…read moreprovide that second review. I grew up around the street from here and even though I live another city over, I still find myself coming back to this spot for fresh fish or fried fish. Prices are inexpensive for fish by the pound. For a 4 pc fried fish dinner which includes hush puppies you are looking at $7.99 starting off. Prices vary slightly depending on the fish. Attitudes as the other reviewer said are always positive. I have actually never had a bad experience coming here. This place has been consistent for the many years they have been here and still continue to be consistent.

It has since before been torn down and they have moved just down the street to their current spot. We unfortunately are not able to frequent Ghent Seafood since our move to Iowa, although it's on of the first stops when we are in town. While visiting some friends in the area for the new year we of course swung by for some delicious seafood. We decided on some salmon and scallops to grill up that evening. The scallops we huge and beautifully sweet and the salmon just as delicious. John always gives great cooking recommendations and will cut everything to order. He even remembered us after being away for 2 years. If you are looking for great seafood Ghent Seafood is really the best stop around!

Six of us came in around 6:30 for a college reunion weekend, wanting one proper local seafood meal out of the trip. We put our names down and grabbed drinks from the bar before choosing a space to sit outside. The restaurant is really big, with indoor seating, outdoor sea-facing tables, and a little market in the back. There's also a picnic table area with some giant lawn game going, which is where we enjoyed our drinks, making the wait genuinely pleasant instead of something to endure. For our first round, we tried the "crush," the local specialty, and ordered one of every flavor. Fresh squeezed juice, flavored vodka, triple sec, Sprite. Grapefruit and cherry limeade were the winners. The pineapple was awful. None of them were very strong, so after the novelty wore off I moved on to something more my speed (nothing beats a tequila soda). They also have a respectable beer selection. Our table ended up right by the water with a view of the boats, and our waitress was so helpful walking us through the menu, including the fact that lumpia is a local specialty here thanks to the area's Filipino population, which I did not know. We got oysters and three other appetizers, then split one entree between every two people since the portions are enormous. The fried shrimp was the unanimous favorite, and the spinach crab dip, lumpia, blackened crab cake (almost everyone ordered it), potato salad, and hushpuppies were all excellent. All of that, plus roughly two cocktails a person and tip, came to about $50 each, which felt like quite the steal for high quality seafood! Big attached parking lot, docks if you're coming in by boat, and the market sells shirts, hats, fresh crab meat, take-home versions of the appetizers, and fishing basics. There was a bit of a line/wait if you wanted to use the women's restroom (but isn't that the case everywhere?) I would definitely come back here next time I'm in town!!

I kind of lost my way so I called Mr. Johnson or someone from the company and he gave me directions. I beat him to his establishment Because he was still out on the water. I watched the boat come in and watched them unload the crab traps. He saw me sitting there in my car and he came over and said I will bring them right to you. I got two dozen of the best Virginia crabs that you ever could have. They were fresh out of the water. They were so lively that they actually jumped. I enjoyed those crabs and I can't wait to get back to get more---best crab place ever! I would recommend Johnson And Sons seafood to anybody. I love you guys!
