4.5 stars. I cannot overstate how friendly the staff here is. Very welcoming, very patient, very kind. Set a really great tone for my visit. There are surprising number of chicken options here for a place called, "This Is Seafood", but not quite as many seafood options as I hoped. I was really looking forward to getting an order of fried scallops for lunch and I was a little disappointed they didn't have them on the menu. I decided to get the Combo #4: 3 whole wings, 6 fried shrimp, and my choice of 1 piece of fish and side dish. For my fish, I chose fried catfish and for my side I chose hush puppies. The combo also came with a fountain drink. I decided to mix their house-made lemonade and house-made iced tea and it made the perfect half-and-half. The wait wasn't too bad, as the food was being freshly made. It was piping hot and crispy when I received it. Those shrimp were huge! Some of the biggest fried shrimp I've ever had...And not those butterfly shrimp either. Whole shrimp, and the tail was removed so I didn't have to worry about accidentally crunching on one of the shells. The catfish was delectable! Perfectly seasoned, delightfully crispy, and absolutely melted in my mouth. So good. I'm coming back for the catfish if nothing else. The wings were perfectly fried, nice and crispy, but they were a bit too light on the seasoning for my taste. And the mumbo sauce tasted too similar to barbecue sauce. I did not like that, so I ended up saving the rest of the wings until I got home to put my own mumbo sauce on them. The hush puppies were also really good. I like that they were fried perfectly and weren't greasy... Even after reheating them. Overall, my lunch cost me about $25 and it was enough food for at least two meals. Can't beat that. I'll be back for that catfish. read more

The food looks great on the menu and the place is small with 2 tables for about 8 people. This is NOT fast food so be prepared to wait for a freshly prepared order. This place must be popular because they have their own swag for sale ie. long and short sleeve t-shirts! read more

I almost never do food reviews but omg YALLL! I just ate here for the first time and trust me it won't be the last. The food was fresh seasoned and the shrimp and portions were BIG! But let me tell yall the icing on the cake was the customer service from "Ayu". She said she was new and yall she is the absolute sweetest! Customer service 10 out of 10.... WOULD RECOMMEND! read more

The food here is normally 10/10, which is why this experience surprised me. I picked up my order yesterday between 7-8 PM, well before the 11 PM closing time. Unfortunately, my grilled shrimp came out fried, and my fish was overcooked. I'm not sure what happened to my previous review, but I wanted to clarify that this wasn't a last-minute order before closing. I'm hoping this was just an off night because the food is usually excellent. read more

Best fried shrimp ever. Delicious and crisp. Fried perfectly! Always a good to when I want good shrimp

I visited this establishment just for the seafood fried rice, which was worth the trip. I placed the order over the phone and it was ready in 13 minutes when I arrived. I didn't give it 5 stars ONLY because this time around they were a little heavy with the onions. Customer service is always on point!! read more

Was looking for a fish sandwich and didn't want to drive too far. The staff at the front were very helpful. The fish sandwich was a little better than good. The setup is like a regular carry out. I will be back read more

I WOULD NEVER COME BACK TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT! If you happen to visit please pay attention to the HUGE UP CHARGING! I ordered 12 jumbo shrimp and 2 catfish fillets and per the menu the cost is $14.49 and 7.99 plus tax, the cashier charged me $27.01. I took my number and sat down. I started thinking about the total and it just didn't add up. Went up to discuss with the cashier and she pointed to this blue box under the menu prices with additional fees! WTF. I immediately told her, thank you but no thank you. I'm not cheap but the pricing on the menu should be accurate. I shouldn't have to zoom in to a certain part of the menu to find out that they are adding on additional charges and when I ordered the lady never said anything about a. Additional charge. NEVER AGAIN. Buyer beware. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT. The shrimp were a tad bit over cooked for my liking but the seasoning was really good and the size were above average, hence the *** read more

This restaurant pretty much has everything you would want to eat. They have seafood, wings, sandwiches, salads deserts and more. It is located in a little strip mall with ample parking available. The restaurant has a couple of tables with chairs that are available for dining, but they were mostly being used by those patrons that were waiting on their order. There is a television in the restaurant that you can watch while you wait/eat. It is recommend to call your order in. and I can see why, as I waited about 15 to 20 minutes for my order. The staff there was nice enough, even though my interaction with them was limited I ordered a oyster po-boy with Cajun fries. There was a ton of food and my po-boy was stuffed. The sandwich and fries tasted ok, I have had better. The oysters were small and really did not do it for me. They do offer condiments, per request, such as ketchup, hot sauce, and my favorite....mambo sauce. They check each order with the customer before they leave. I guess they have had This place gets a lot of traffic through there and they have a very wide variety of food to choose from. I was not a big fan of the mea I picked, but I would still give this place another shot.and try something different. read more

Hey friends! My This is Seafood experience was 5/5 stars. I remember when combos meals were $12-$14. When I saw that their shrimp combo was $18 I was nervous. But I was fortunately surprised. For $18 the portions were plentiful and it came with a drink! Shrimp was seasoned well, large and fresh. I enjoyed my Arnold Palmer, they serve house-made lemonade and sweet tea. The employee at the counter was friendly and made sure I had condiments and silverware. I ordered online and the pick-up process was easy! The inside is your typical carryout spot with a few tables to dine in at. Parking is plentiful. I recommend This is Seafood for your quick carryout needs! read more

I had the crabmeat po boy the other day and was sadly very disappointed. The crabmeat wasn't lump, as they said it would be, and it looked like it came from a can. They gave me plenty of fries to make up for the lackluster sandwich I paid $21 for. I will stay local. I'm not going to back to be disappointed again. The service was good though. read more

Food cooked to order, seafood is fresh. Customer service is always professional and pleasant...with a joke or two thrown in

When they first opened up i went to get a-boil . The food was okay nothing to go running back to .

Delicious fried shrimp but they were a bit salty and I believe they used a LOT of flour in the coating. Even still they were EXTREMELY well seasoned! Now...the FRIED RICE, the FRIED RICE, the FRIED RICE! I have lived in the DMV since 1994 (Chicago native) and had not had a GOOD fried rice since I've been here! All fried rice here is LIGHT SKINNED and that ain't lit" for me! In fact, I'd never seen light skinned rice with PEAS AND CARROTS until I came HERE! Their fried rice was the rice color of choice! I don't care for the peas and carrots so I will request they not put in there the next time. All in all the food is yummy and I will continue to order from them! read more

The food is amazing!!!! And the customer service is great too! I met the owner when they first opened and really enjoyed talking with her. She had a lot to say about how her business got started. read more

After a quick Yelp search for dinner in the Clinton area, I found out about This is Seafood and I'm so glad I did. The customer service was amazing from start to finish. They had a steady flow of visitors while I was there and I understand why. I ordered one piece of Catfish with fries combo and a Shrimp Po Boy with two pieces of corn on the cob. My daughter said the catfish was "bussin" but the fries could use some seasoning. The shrimp po'boy was huge and delicious and the corn on the cob was easily the best corn on the cob I've had. It had a garlic parmesan flavor and was too good. I wish it was closer but I would go back. read more

This was my first time here and let me say the food is BOMB! I originally came here because I was told they have the best chicken wings but upon arriving I saw how many other options they have and chose to get the shrimp and fish combo which came with 6 jumbo fried shrimp, 1 piece of whiting, and French fries. I also tried their lemonade and sweet tea mix which was so good. I love me a good Arnold Palmer. The employees were very helpful helping me choose something to try first because I would've bought everything on the menu lol. You can also sit down and eat. It's located in a small shopping center. I would definitely recommend coming here . read more

Update: I hate doing this but I have to. I've been to this place 5 times now. The guy who runs t is great. But the young lady who works there is terrible. Bad attitude, bad customer service, bad on the telephone. It's like she hates her job. The 2nd time in a row, she messed up my order. It's the most basic order ever. But she doesn't listen. So I'll say this place is good so long as the guy is there & at the counter. Very disappointing because she is a young Black woman & I hate to put her out there but she deserves it. She's a net negative on an otherwise good business. 5 stars with the guy, 3 stars with the young woman, read more

We visit this restaurant a few times each month, and the food is always hot and fresh. You can order online, though there might be a slight wait, but it's generally worth it. I highly recommend the crab fried rice, seafood boils, and wings. It tends to get busy on game nights, so be sure to order ahead and within an hour of when you want your food on those days. I definitely recommend it! read more

Ordered two catfish po' boy combos with coleslaw and the strawberry Hennessy cake. Food was below average and overpriced. I'm always suspicious of the freshness of food on any menu with that many items. read more

First time ordering was 8.2.2025. Shrimp Po' Boy was really good. The Garden Salad with shrimp added was also good but I did not care for the shredded cheese. I've gotten use to crumbled cheese like Feta or Blue. Next time I will hold the cheese. The Shrimp Egg Rolls were also good. The Shrimp Fried Rice was good too. Overall, everything was good. Nothing was ohh-ahhh, mind blowing, or bursting with flavors to me. But everything was fresh and satisfying. I would order again, trying other items. read more

This place used to be really great! It's been awhile since I've had their food and today I purchased fried shrimp and French fries, and vegetable rolls. I wasted my money tonight and I will not be back. The shrimp were VERY TOUGH which was so weird. I ate maybe 2, and a few others I bit into but tossed aside. This can't be real shrimp! Something isn't right. The French fries were dry and nasty. The vegetable rolls taste like grease. It all was horrible! I'm so disappointed because I often would tell people about this spot from my past experiences, but that has come to an end. read more

It's a food truck is exceptional and everything is cooked to perfection. I love the spirit and the community work this guy is doing

I visited This is Seafood recently and had a great experience. I was greeted when I entered and received patient, friendly service. Major plus! Here's what I ordered: -6 PC jumbo shrimp -Party wings (half BBQ, half Jamaican Jerk) -Onion rings -Small shrimp Fried rice (this was amaaaazing and enough to share (or eat solo) Chef, please do NOT change the recipe) In case you couldn't tell, the Fried rice was my favorite (and my fam's!) followed by the wings. They have many flavors, so perhaps I will try a few others next time. I ordered takeout but still appreciated how clean the shop was. The wait time was reasonable. You can also order online or call. I definitely recommend giving them a try when you're in the area. read more

I was craving seafood yesterday and decided to give this place a try. I went with a shrimp boil with 15 shrimp, potatoes, corn on the cob (I added one extra), sausage, and 2 boiled eggs in garlic butter sauce. The sauce was pretty tasty & flavorful, and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I also decided to try the shrimp fried rice (I aded 1 egg) since it was highlighted in a few of the reviews, and it too was good, had a nice amount of shrimp, and taste fresh as mentioned in previous reviews. I give this place 5/5 stars and will be back to try more menu items. read more

First time here so I ordered something easy. Shrimp and hush puppies. The service was nice and very friendly. The food was prepared quickly and not overly seasoned; however I asked for hot sauce and apparently they make their own. The hot sauce is hot but is tangy with a sweet taste. I'm not a fan but it wasn't horrible, just acquired. I love the hush puppies! The restaurant was not crowded but the stayed busy and steady. I'll be returning if I have a taste for some quick fried food in the neighborhood. read more

I ordered a seafood boil from here and it was terrible compared to other places. The seafood itself was not so bad the taste of it , but the look was very disappointing. I ordered the house sauce which was a runny white type of sauce. The look of the seafood will throw you off completely. I didn't even bother to take a picture. I ate some of the seafood and threw the rest in trash. I also ordered a salad and threw it in the trash also. Never again!! read more

Food is for sure plenty full. My daughter enjoyed her seafood bag. Contained shrimp and crab with potatoes and eggs. Lacked alittle salt to me but all the spices were there. Shrimp fried rice was good as well, rice had a strange texture like mush alittle but I ordered a small so I ate it. I also ordered 2 large chicken fried rice and wow! Them things where giant ! Chicken was kinda well strange so I picked it out at first then I just threw it away because I was unsure if it had went bad or not read more

This place is a gold mine! There are sooooo many options that it becomes a little overwhelming but the intention and quality of each is outstanding! "This is seafood" is an understatement.
