All of my food was seasoned great. I love the temperature and batter of the shrimp. My whitting was seasoned good but be very aware of bones as filets had a lot of bones. The catfish was fried perfectly.

I use to eat from here many years ago and the food was delicious. I'm not sure if the business has been sold/ under new management but it was terrible. Sadly, I will not be back.

I was completely disappointed... it's been well over 7yrs since I've been to Bates, the fish market that I usually go to closed for the night so I remembered Bates was near. Big mistake! I ordered fried shrimp and a side (hushpuppies) once I get there the guy hands me an order of grilled shrimp, ok I'll take it (1 cause I was ready to drive home, 2 grilled is always better than fried (weight wise) but in the back of my mind I really wanted fried food. The young man offered a free drink and no charge for the grilled shrimp ($1.00 for grilled) the jumbo shrimp looked more like medium and for the price of $14.00 I only received 10 shrimp. Yeah I'm good Bates... I won't be back!
