But then I ate the fried chicken...SO FREAKING WORTH IT. And the jalapeño hush puppies...I don't even like hush puppies but I will be thinking about those hush puppies until we go back. All of the staff was great, I would not have ordered the hush puppies if the guy behind the counter didn't tell me to. Don't let the tackle shop vibe steer you away from the food, it is 1000% as great as their tackle selection. 10/10

Seadrift is a small town of just under 1000 people, sometimes your job and get a little cumbersome. It showed. Staying in Tivoli at an AirBnb, so we thought we'd give it a try based on local recommendation. Was hoping it was that hole in the wall knock your socks off establishment that would make me want to stop again and again. But it wasn't. Maybe my expectations were too high going in. Let's start with the positives. Crab dip was creamy and delicious, just didn't taste like crab. Oyster appetizers should always come on a half shell. The Rock-yer-feller oysters came on a small ceramic plate that came out of the oven with no shells. The flavor was just ok. I wouldn't get it again. The oysters were hardy and good in size, made me feel like maybe they were from a jar or can. Stuff crab was meh. Shrimp didn't have seasoning, cocktail sauce was vinegar based? There was just a strong vinegar presence. The fish was by far the all star but even it tasted a little slimy when you took off the breading. Zero seasoning on the breading. The fried oysters were delicious, and I loved the fried mushrooms. Hush puppies are from a freezer bag. My daughter loved her fried chicken tenders. At $170 for three appetizers and three meals with one Dr Pepper, I felt like someone just kicked my dog. We didn't buy any, but the Snow crab was MP at $54 a pound? That's 100-150% markup from the wholesale. HEB sells it for $22 a lb at retail which is at least a 40% markup from wholesale. If your prices are going to be that high, your food should meet the expectation. It felt more like a person, opening a seafood restaurant in a fishing community, that buys everything from a frozen vendor, cooks it like a fast food restaurant, and sells it at a farm to table price. I paid and tipped generously. But there was nothing that made me want to come back.

Prices are great and the guys there are really nice and helpful. My husband and I stopped by and picked up a pint of shucked oysters (approximately 2 dozen) for $13. They were incredible!!! First, they were HUGE! Not the small ones you often find in restaurants. Second, freshest and some of the best tasting I've ever had. We also bought some table shrimp (as opposed to bait shrimp), and they were also huge and delicious. They also have other seafood from the bay available, although we haven't yet tried it, but items such as catfish and blue crabs. Pretty sure that it comes straight off the boat and to the market. Definitely will make this place a regular stop when we are in town.
