Just recently stopped in to order some seafood. I ordered a half of pound of Large Shrimp, which were delicious. I also ordered a three piece flounder with fries, and hush puppies. The Flounder was crispy, well seasoned, and fried to perfection. The fries were hot, and fresh. The hush puppies definitely needed some work. But, overall the atmosphere, and service was outstanding!

The place was easily accessible and the owners were friendly. The have a very big variety and the tartar sauce is tasty. That's where the good ends. I came in today 7/15/25. At the time I was the ONLY customer. My food just wasn't good. It looked good but every single item was fried entirely too hard. We tried to FORCE ourselves to eat it to avoid wasting money but ultimately we just couldn't. The shrimp was fried so hard it was very chewy and rubbery. The coleslaw also wasn't good. It tasted sour. We spent $40+ for food we ended up throwing away. I'm very shocked that nothing was enjoyable based on the high reviews. If you like your food fried hard you will probably enjoy this place, for us it's a hard pass.

Today was my very first time @ Palmetto Seafood but I could pretty much tell that, both my catfish, and my black bass fish sandwiches were gonna be delicious, just by looking at my finished order! I'm the "FishMan" at most of my family's fish frys...(I JUST KNOW)...And just as I had figured, my order was bangin'! 😁👌Great job, Ms. Moultrie and staff! I plan to come back soon!!!

The food must have been the freshest South Carolina could offer, with great variety and flavor... Bummer they only sell it fried.

Been coming here since 1999, whether you want to cook it at home or have them fry it for you they got you covered. Great people.
