Mandeville Seafood Market Eatery

The food was tasty for sure, but the thin catfish we received wasn't all that thin. Will be back again!

They are frequently busy, though they close annoyingly early on Sundays. The food and service are both great, but if you carry out don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit longer than they estimated. We keep coming back for more.

Crawfish were good. I can't believe it was only $2.99 a pound

We are from out of town, and we wanted to experience some good southern seafood and this place did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have eaten here twice now. They are by far the best seafood restaurant in the Covington/Mandeville/Madisonville area that I've been to. The fish and shrimp are fresh and cleaned properly. The portion sizes are generous and everything is fried and served quickly. I had the shrimp po-boy on a previous visit, and it was delicious. The homemade onion rings are a must-have. The sweet tea was perfect and I enjoyed the friendly and laid-back atmosphere. The only thing I have to say that's a bit of a negative is the lack of spice/flavor. Don't get me wrong it's good seafood, but this is southern Louisiana at least put some pepper or something in the fry mix, put some onion or Jalepeno in the hush puppies, firm the corn nuggets up so they aren't so loose and soupy inside, and please do something with your fried okra because it's just sad, with just a few tweaks in the kitchen this place could be Really Great instead of just good. The only thing that was just inedible was the coleslaw, I'm not sure what happened but it tasted like chemicals so I didn't eat more after the initial bite. The restaurant itself is nice enough, the tables are labeled with Snowball names so that's cute, the decor is simple and ocean based but tasteful and not overdone. It was clean, the staff was friendly, plenty of light and seating inside, and while it's definitely a casual place it's not unprofessional. I appreciated that since the table service is limited that everything one could ask for was already out and available to grab if you need it, even the to-go containers! I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot, but I think in future I may just buy their delicious seafood from the market and go home and fry it with my own seasoned cornmeal mix.
