Captain Nance's Seafood

Oldie but goodie for us. We haven't been in this area in over 10 years. It was great to come back and eat some Calabash seafood. We used to come with the kids when they were little and they would eat ungodly amount of hushpuppies. So, we had to go back and get some oyster stew, deluxe seafood platter and fried okra (my favorite). And it was as good as we remembered. Seafood was fresh and delicious. Fried okra was amazing and hushpuppies were great. Sweet potato fries were crispy and just right. The weather was gorgeous and we set outside. We did have to chase birds, but it was well worth our efforts. The waiter was friendly and attentive . He made our visit extra nice.

This was my first time visiting Capt Nance. The service wasn't bad at all, it took only about 10-15 minutes to be seated. We had a party of six. The restaurant was very bright and the tables were a little tight. The food was average tasting, but they did give you plenty. The prices were above average, that's the problem I had. I spent over $60 for fried shrimp, and a fried fish entree.

The food was pretty good. Plenty of hushpuppies were provided. They were a little bland but I like ketchup on them anyway so I ate quite a few. The senior flounder dish was plenty big enough to fill me up. The fish was good though it may have been slightly overcooked. The host lacked personality but out sweet waitress more than made up for it. I would recommend the place for the bonus waterfront view, pretty good food, and the reasonable prices.

Since 1975, Capt. Nance's has been a stalwart for fried, Calabash-style seafood in Calabash, NC. After decades of being loyal Dockside Seafood fans, my family returned to try Capt. Nance's after Dockside shut it's doors for good this year. The food was comparable to other Calabash style seafood restaurants in town, including now defunct Dockside and Ella's, along with Beck's, Oyster Rock, and other restaurants serving Lowcountry fare in the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand area. IMO, the fried shrimp and scallops at Capt. Nance's were saltier and more oily than other places, so I didn't enjoy the food as much here as I usually do. That was the consensus for my whole family. 🍤👎 The hush puppies (still free, which is becoming rare!) were fairly good. We like honey 🍯 butter, but didn't care for the

Oh my gosh, we were told this chef had been there 40 years and the food proved that true! The chef knows how to cook scallops! Best scallops I believe I have ever put in my mouth! We drove from Myrtle Beach here about a 30 minute drive two times in the four nights we were here. We drove to calabash to eat at Captain Nancy‘s seafood. I would do it again! You don’t wanna miss this restaurant! Much to our surprise that even have a Senior menu and it was more than planning to eat and even share too! This place is unbelievably good! You will want to try this place out if you love seafood!
