Sea Soul Seafood - Philadelphia

My son and I decided to try this place on a whim. My son had the fried fish platter with greens and rice and gravy. The fish was fried to a golden crisp. The crunch and taste on it was great. It was a bit salty for MY taste (I have a low tolerance for salt if any kind . The rice and gravy was awesome according to him but the greens had to go. I had BBQ oxtails with greens and string beans (this was a mistake because I asked for Mac and cheese ???? . The oxtails were great, just not enough of them. The string beans needed flavor to them. To be honest, they tasted like beans from a can. It needs some smoked turkey legs, garlic and onion powder and a dash of red pepper flakes. The same goes for the collard greens. First, there were too many stems in the greens. Second, cut them smaller because no one wants a whole tree leaf on their fork and then try to chew it. Third, add seasonings. If you make a few tweaks, it would be much better. Carrot cake was so good and did not want to share but I did. I will try them again because they have potential.... Looking at most comments- Seasonings are the issue. From a chef's point of view, all of these can be corrected with least effort and you should do well.

If you like seafood then you will love this place. I love the sides they add to their meals. The yams and macaroni are good choices for sides. I had the scallops and they were phenomenal. The salmon looked amazing too. You honestly can't go wrong with whatever you choose. I wish indoor dining was open because their inside looked very inviting as well.

I ordered a fried salmon platter from them today. My 2 sides were Mac and cheese and collard greens. My fried salmon was basically fried breading with a little salmon added. I didn?t know I ordered fried bread crumbs. My Mac and cheese and collard greens were not seasoned at all. Very dissatisfied with my entire meal. I didn?t eat any of it after tasting the bland sides and seeing the sad excuse I was given for fried salmon.

I ordered a oxtail rice and gravy and cabbage platter basically the whole platter was dry rice when I asked for extra gravy . And the oxtails were terrible taste like they were just boiled and cheap runny dollar store bbq sauce. On top of waiting in the store for terribly long. Never again

First time going and it was delicious!!!we did ToGo and the food was at a perfect temperature when we got home,I?m so happy I found a seafood boil place near me!most definitely will be coming back soon!
