Outstanding, bright, fresh seafood. Thorough selection, but in no way intimidating…read more The usual seafood suspects, plus large variety of the good stuff - whole fish, local catch, fresh shellfish, roe etc. All first rate, all on heaps of clean ice ...what a pleasant suprise in the area on a whim. Friendly, experienced and knowledgeable owner, genuine fishmonger. Just ask what's recommended, local or interesting! The pride shows and we departed with an armful of product. Visiting the area w/family and Bay Seafood surpasses what we often see at home on the coast. Will return anytime we're even remotely close. Tonight, beautiful clean filets, rolled in local breading (also available) and right into the cast iron skillet at home (photo enthusiastically uploaded.) Foolproof, clean flavor and texture; a real revelation, capping perfectly, a lovely couple days in area. Cooked to order available as well. **Bonus: fabulous homemade Kimchi! Ask for a taste. Kudos and don't change a thing.

The crab cakes are absolutely not Maryland Style crab cakes but they are priced as if they are. Shrimp snd grits were OK. The Shrimp were a bit chewy. The seafood egg rolls were good! They are worth the money. Everything else was disappointing. It you are going to be open until 9pm you're going to have to find a way to have fresh seafood until 9 or shut the kitchen down earlier. Sorry if this reads harsh. Im a big fan of seafood, i'm from a city built around a seafood industry and I've had real maryland crabcakes.

No offense to our waitress, she was good but it took over 45 minutes to get our food. A few tables got their food and left before we even got ours. One member of our party got their food 20 minutes after everyone else did. There were also multiple tables that had dirty plates and cups from previous customers all around us. The staff would just walk by it or go sit on their phones and gossip.

The salmon was very flavorful. Parking was plentiful. Now, the not so positive, ordering was a negotiation. The website doesn't reflect the current menu. My dinner partner ordered a beer which is no longer on the menu. I ordered the broiled tuna steak dinner which was clearly on the menu. The server returned after turning in the order to report "tuna is no longer on the menu" so I ask if they had broiled salmon and the server went to check. By the time the main course arrive I completely forgot pictures. I felt emphatic towards the server who appeared to be new and also frustrated to not be able to simply serve the customer what they chose from the menu. The dining room was clean, quiet and the staff was friendly.
