    Fried shrimp and oysters + collards
    Becca R.

    Food was really good! Ordered the crab cake poppers, catfish nugget kids meal, and fried oyster/ fried shrimp combo. The hush puppies were amazing and absolutely loved the collards. Service was great but the server was overly busy having to take orders up front and do everything else! He managed it great but seemed like they need more help. Will definitely go back again and try a steamer basket!

    I have had TrySeafood on my list for some time now. I was in the area getting my car serviced and the day had finally come!!!! It was a busy Friday afternoon on a gorgeous day, and it was busy. TrySeafood is located within a shopping area with plenty of parking. There are a few outdoor tables and about five or six indoor tables. I ordered my food to go. There's a lovely young lady at the front, who I believe may be the owner (she's from NY). She was so wonderful. It took about 10 minutes for me to decide and place my order, there are so many options and I love seafood. I ended up ordering the fried catfish & shrimp combo with French fries. You can choose between fried or grilled. It took about 20 minutes for my food to be ready as they fry the food once it's ordered. While I waited, I observed several regulars coming to dine & many who said they would be back. I ended up trying my food as soon as I got in the car. The catfish & shrimp were seasoned and fried perfectly!!! I mean absolutely perfect & delicious. I definitely should have gotten one of their homemade sides, because the French fries were cold and bland. Other patrons told me how good the other sides were, but I didn't listen...make sure you do. I can't wait to go back and try other menu items. I'll definitely get the shrimp & catfish again. Soooo good!!

    I tried this spot after seeing some pictures of their shrimp -- and as a big shrimp fan, I had to see it for myself. Glad I did. They have indoor seating if you want to dine in, and the server was very respectful and welcoming. The vibe was already set when I walked in -- old-school music playing, with Chaka Khan in the background. That alone put me in a good mood. Now to the food. They have a lot of options, which I appreciated. I went with the grilled chicken combo with salmon, scallops, and shrimp, served over rice. I swapped the mixed veggies for their smoked collard greens. I didn't really taste much turkey in the greens, and there were a few stems (not my favorite), but overall they were still pretty good. I ordered everything jerk-style, and let me tell you -- that jerk seasoning was serious lol. Definitely cleared my sinuses, and that's a plus in my book. The shrimp were very good, and I liked that they give you options: jerk, garlic butter, fried, grilled, or plain. The chicken was slightly on the dry side, but still flavorful and enjoyable. For drinks, they had Pepsi products, but I went with their house strawberry lemonade -- and WOW. That drink was on point! I regret not taking a picture of it. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but the portions were solid, and you truly get what you pay for. Overall, I have nothing negative to say about my experience. I enjoyed it and would definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

    Banana pudding
    Nicole H.

    The seafood itself is perfection! Fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked exactly right. The fish alone is enough to make me come back. The restaurant is clean, the service is great, and the music really sets a nice vibe, which made the overall experience enjoyable. The sides didn't quite hit for me. The banana pudding was a bit dry, the shrimp rice was spicy but lacking flavor, the grits were very thick with a unique taste that wasn't my favorite, and the collard greens felt like they were missing something. The honey cornbread was interesting -- it reminded me more of a honeybun cake than traditional cornbread. Overall, I'd definitely return for the fish and would stick to more basic sides next time. The proteins are the real star here.

    I highly recommend this restaurant. The restaurant is clean, staff are friendly, and the owner is approachable. The location is easy to find, and is located in a safe area. There was no long wait time for food, and the flow of customers was steady. The music was a vibe, and customers were friendly. I recommended this restaurant to coworkers who ended up dining as recommended the next day. I also ordered food to go, and returned to dine the following day. So far, the jumbo shrimp and catfish are my favorite menu items. My mother is a Rasta pasta fan. Come through, Cary!

    Rasheedah M.

    I was ready for seafood and they delivered. My husband ordered the blackened catfish. I typically don't like catfish but it was seasoned to perfection. I ordered a fried fish basket and it was good too. The tiger woods drink was refreshing. We will be back. Not much seating but nice atmosphere and great for a to go order.

    Oysters and Calamari are a good lunch. Comes with two sauces and lemon slices. I would recommend.

    Fish Fry FriYay, Shrimp and Homemade Honey Butter Cornbread (it's like cake)!
    Ingrid R.

    If you love seafood, Tryseafood needs to be on your list--especially on Fridays! We came in for their Fish Fry FriYAY special and decided to add shrimp... best decision ever. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside, and the shrimp were seasoned just right juicy with that perfect snap when you bite into them. The portions? Let's just say you will not leave hungry. It was more than enough to share, but so good we almost didn't want to. The sides were fresh, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere made it feel like the start of the weekend. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel welcome, and the food keeps you coming back. If you're looking for a seafood spot where flavor, freshness, and portion sizes all shine, Tryseafood delivers hook, line, and sinker!

    My first time here. I was tempted by Tim Shropshire's post so off we went! I ordered the fried lobster combo which consisted of a delicious, perfectly seasoned fried-to- perfection lobster tail, (I even ate the ends of the tail), large fried shrimp, a side (mine was collards) hush puppies, a BIG HULKING HUNK OF sweet potato corn bread drizzled with some sort of sweet goodness (OH. MY. WORD...DELICIOUSNESS!!!). I also ordered the layered chocolate cake and banana pudding. The Tiger Woods sweet tea was so good! The chocolate cake was rich decadent and moist. Sinfully delicious! The banana pudding left nothing to be desired as it was sprinkled with a dusting of cinnamon which made it EVERYTHING! Yummy deliciousness! Lively atmosphere--playing 90's R&B (Soul 2 Soul, Sounds of Blackness, Loose Ends, Zhane to name a few) super friendly staff--- from the moment we stepped in, we were greeted and welcomed with smiles from all at the service counter. Service was quick and the food came out hot, fresh and delicious. I caught a cramp in my foot which the staff made a light joke attributing their delicious food to my foot cramp to which made everyone erupt in a hearty laugh. I gotta say---I WILL BE BACK!

    Babyyy. I had no business finding this place but I'm Glad I did. Food was fresh. Shrimp, big and seasoned. Fried seasoned and fresh. Catfish nuggets were chefs kiss.

    Catfish & Shrimp combo w/ side of collard greens, okra & hushpuppies

    We plan to return to TrySeafood before leaving Cary! We live in another state that does not have good soul food /seafood so this is a huge treat! The staff was great. I ordered the catfish shrimp combo with a side of collard greens and okra. They cooked the food to order so be prepared to wait but it is worth the wait. The seafood tastes so fresh! Everything was Flavorful- EVERYTHING! That is hard for many places to achieve. The greens are spicy still great but wanted to give you a heads up. Next time we come to NC TrySeafood Cary is on our lists!

This visit when we placed our order and asked our server for chilled shrimp cocktail, we noticed , I'm assuming the manager/owner standing by the kitchen and he asked the server if we we had ordered it cold and then rolled his eyes ......clearly showing his disdain. So I guess Legal Seafood in Boston and even the fantastic waterfront restaurant we ate at recently in Beaufort seem to know it's very much a thing eating it chilled. All that said we decided not to put a dinner order in and requested the check. The server however, was very sweet and efficient , but the guy walking the place with his tablet was pretty rude. We didn't have this experience at the Cape Fear located in Cameron Village. Tonight's experience at the Apex location left a bad taste in our mouth, so to speak.

It's pan fried, topped with crab meat and smothered in a spicy butter. It's delightful. For dessert, the crème brûlée and bread pudding are both quite good. I'll be honest though, the portions are large, so sometimes dessert is completely out of the question. If I remember correctly, I believe they also have a twenty year tawny in the menu that is a great way to close out the night. All in all, service is great, the food is good, and if you want to get dressed up and go out for a leisurely paced dinner, this is a great place to do just that!
