So we drove from Charlotte thinking the seafood will be fresher and CHEAPER being that they're RIGHT ON THE WATER! Boy were we wrong! I'm from Miami where there's too much competition to overcharged for fish. Its a small market with a small but notable selection of fish. The staff was helpful and friendly. Here's the problem! In Miami I get FRESH SNAPPER for $8.99 a pound, FRESH CORVINA for $6.99 a pound, FRESH GROUPER $8.99 a pound! Tell me WHY all the fish they have is over 20$ a pound!!! Only a fool would think that's ok! We bought a few filets ONLY because we planned on buying something we just didn't expect for it to be a complete ripoff!! read more

Selection excellent. Service excellent. Fresh off the boat this morning. Got Grouper, clams, oysters, crab, roe, shrimp all today in the cooler headed back to Georgia. read more

Sarah and her staff are always helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. They have catered a couple of events for us at our home and have always exceeded our expectations. The seafood is always fresh and tasty. My go to place in Mt Pleasant. read more

I'm from Mount Pleasant. My family has been patronizing Mount Pleasant Seafood Market for years. After my experience yesterday, I have decided to take my money elsewhere. I will not give any money to a business with rude employees. I went in to purchase crab legs. I walked to the freezer, grabbed two bags, and went to the register. The guy behind the counter appeared to be a teenager, but he may have been in his early twenties. His demeanor was extremely off-putting. While ringing me up, he made rude remarks about the "Blame Society" slogan on my t-shirt and attempted to attack and debate me about its meaning. I didn't go to the seafood market to have a sociology debate. I expect friendly service, and that's it. If it means going to a seafood market as far as West Ashley, Summerville or Johns Island, I will do it. read more

We were visiting from Greenville and this place was recommended from a local. The staff was so helpful, friendly and amazing. We bought a huge bag of single oysters to take home and they tasted great at a decent price. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area and want to take some seafood home. read more

We encountered the rudest employees when I visited the store with my mom. They literally were laughing and snickering when my mom asked them something in broken English. We didn't need the sarcasm and attitude, especially from a couple of teenage boys. Anyways, just thought I'd let everyone know that the service there is terrible but that doesn't reflect the quality of seafood since I didn't stay long enough to get any. We just walked out. The owner or management should reconsider the help going forward. read more

An employee was absolutely rude. I asked where the shrimp were from....he seemed perturbed I asked...said they all were frozen because the season was over. How would I know!? I'm not from here. I'm not a fisherman. read more

Always and consistently the best service and fresh seafood in Charleston! Family-owned for generations, and it shows! I don't go anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and support these guys... You won't be disappointed! Oh yeah, and don't forget to pick up some shrimp dip! read more

Great spot near the house for some fresh seafood served up by some nice folks. Dropped in today to grab some shrimp that were fresh for dinner. The prices are comparable to most other fresh seafood markets in the area and the staff here is friendly. read more

They're so good that I kinda wanna keep them a secret....but what's the fun in that? The one thing I love going here for is the wide variety of good, fresh fish carcass that I can get here for stock (and really, the trimmings off the salmon sometimes can be enough to make large salmon cakes--I've gotten 13 out of 2 carcasses once). Have I been told by friends who fish that I can get carcass (and more) if I just went fishing? Yes, but honestly then why would awesome fish markets exist? If you're looking around for fish markets on yelp then you know you're not gonna get off your ass and go fish...so just come in here and see what awesome things they can give you! read more

See all

Absolute Worst place to buy seafood! Charged $120 for local Folly oysters when most other places only charge around 80. Will never step foot in this market again! Typical Mount Plastic Mark up! read more

My go to place for seafood when I'm in Charleston. I don't know if it's the fact that shrimp boats are on Shem Creek behind it, the friendly staff or the freshest seafood in town or a combo of the three that keeps me coming back, but I do. I don't buy seafood anywhere else and will drive from any part of town to buy from Mt P seafood. read more

It is a little pricy at this store, since I saw the same local red snapper in Harris Teeters and it is about $4 per pound cheaper at Harris Teeters. read more

Awesome seafood, convenient location. Service was very friendly (and easy on the eyes for this gal) and the space didn't reek of fish (good sign). We got shrimp, key lime pie and crab dip - all were to my utmost satisfaction. As I sat at our beach rental over looking the ocean's cresting waves eating peel and eat shrimp, fresh REAL crab dip lavished on crackers and one heck of a key lime pie for a quarter of the price I would pay at a restaurant, I was one happy lady! read more

we went here thinking it would be a really amazing seafood market since it's right on the water and by the boardwalk and really nice restaurants. it was absolutely filthy. the smell itself could hardly be tolerated. we didn't even try to buy any fish because the smell was so incredibly rotten that we didn't feel comfortable with the quality of the fish. the overall cleanliness of the store itself looked like nothing has ever been cleaned. we normally don't write bad reviews on yelp but felt this needed to be reviewed. read more

Must have hit them on a down day. Selection was sparse. Seafood markets are dependent on the catch of the day. Will have to try another time. Workers behind the counter were nice. read more

Came in to try and fix a family meal with local seafood. None of the fish looked great, and was told that the medium sized shrimp had been "thawed out" that morning. Guy behind the counter was somewhat surly, and looked annoyed that we were in there. Wound up buying the larger shrimp that had been caught the day before for $12 a lb, then right afterwards found someone else at the weekly Mt Pleasant farmers market selling large fresh shrimp from the back of his pickup for $5 less a pound (with the heads still on, however). Was sorry that I had already bought shrimp from the unfriendly guy at the store... read more

Very good fresh seafood spot in Mount Pleasant. This is my go to week in and week out. Prices are reasonable for the freshness of the fish! With that being said, very fresh and fairly priced. See you all soon. read more

Seriously the best seafood store in town. The second you walk in the door you feel like family. The staff is phenomenal and the seafood is always delicious. Such a gem. One of the employees even gave my 6 year old son a quarter for the gum ball machine! Years ago one of the employees gave my son a book because he was disappointed there were no lobsters in the tank. Going there was the highlight of my sons day today! Can't say enough kind words. read more

Great local spot to grab the freshest of fresh seafood in Chucktown. Staff is always very helpful...a real no frills-just seafood shop!

MPS has the very best quality seafood available. They also offer the very best oyster roasts.... Bringing every thing you need and suppling a constant stream of the best oysters ever! My guests said they were the best that they ever ate... Pretty high recommendation by local oyster roast fans! Stephen is a pro at oyster roasts. read more

Stopped by to get some fresh fish and scallons for dinner. They were excellent! Very fresh and tender. As expected, the fish is a tad pricey, but it was worth every penny. read more

We love this place! They catered an Oyster Roast for us and everything was picture perfect! Tha oysters were scrumptious and they even supplied bar bq for the non oyster eaters, a huge fruit tray, vegetable tray and even homemade brownies for dessert. The staff was friendly and efficient and even had suggestions for decorations for the tables. You can count on them to serve the freshest seafood for every occasion. They even have large jars of shrimp creole sauce and all you have to do is add shrimp! Yummy! Be sure to check 'em out! The Darbys read more

No question this is the best place to buy seafood in the whole area. We can always count on them to have the best local seafood at the best prices. Whenever we have guests in town this is where we go. We can fix a great meal with fresh seafood in the comfort of our own home. The staff are great, they sometimes offer recommendations on marinades or other ways to prepare the purchases and they are always terrific. read more

Went in December 2014 during the Christmas season. Fresh seafood. As we were traveling, we could only buy cooked shrimps. The shrimps were so fresh, juicy and sweet that we went back the next day to grab another bag before leaving town. read more

Very clean and helpful staff. Plenty of fresh catch choices.

Not a restaurant, but a seafood market. This market features fresh fish, and they are; swimmers, oysters, clams, and muscles. If I lived there, I would buy there. I went in after searching online for low country, local, stone ground grits, and they had them. I made that purchase, and looked around. It's well stocked, and everything is well iced. read more
