Carolina Fish Fry Co. - Wilmington

Great Place! The best hush puppies and the scallops we're done just right to melt in your mouth. We got both fried and grilled seafood. The fried shrimp were lightly breaded instead of being totally hidden. If you get the super platter, split it or be prepared for a food challenge.

Visited for the first time this evening and was very happy with our visit. I had grilled jumbo shrimp, coleslaw, and fries. I cannot say enough about my meal. My husband had the seafood platter with two choices of fish, coleslaw, and fries. Hush puppies are included with the meal while you wait for your order. The service was fast and super friendly and the decor was warm and inviting and very clean. This will definitely be a regular place for us. Well done Morgan?s Seafood!

Great spot! My boyfriend ordered the mixed seafood plate with hush puppies and loved it—huge portion, too. I initially wanted chicken tenders, but they were out, so I went with the cheeseburger combo instead. It was really tasty! The cheeseburger was quite large, and the seasoned fries were fantastic. The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous.

Of the items we were able to order, the food was just okay. The sides consisted of three hush puppies and a shot glass-sized portion of mac and cheese. The flounder sandwich was quite plain; I would have appreciated some lettuce and tomato to add a bit of flavor. On the bright side, my husband's platter was a decent size and quite filling. However, I must say that my daughter's shrimp taco was a standout—it came with lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and a tasty bang bang sauce. Overall, the restaurant felt like it wasn't quite ready for opening. The fresh paint appeared unfinished, with some stuck to the seats and trim. Additionally, the napkin holders on four tables near us were sticky and empty, and the tables themselves hadn't been wiped down. The ventilation wasn't great either, as the smell of fried food was quite overwhelming while we dined.

We stopped by this restaurant for a late lunch and both my wife and I ordered the Combo 2 seafood platters. I had the fried catfish with jumbo shrimp, macaroni and cheese, and fried okra, while my wife opted for clam strips, popcorn shrimp, okra, and fries. Everything was perfectly fried and not greasy at all. You can choose between fried or grilled seafood. They even offered us free hush puppies as a starter, served with honey butter. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming; their enjoyment of their work really shone through. We will definitely come back here with our family when they visit us.
