Skinners Seafood

I overheard people talking about this place in the line at the bakery, so I thought I would try it for an authentic Dauphin Island experience. The young men on staff were friendly, helpful, quick, and there was a giant shrimp in a jar to look at in the waiting area. They did a great job steaming a hot, fresh, made to order, Low Country Boil. Mine included snow crab legs that were the best I have had in years, and local shrimp (which actually turned out just ok). There’s no dining room here, so I took it back to my rental for lunch. Plenty leftover to chill for a shrimp cocktail later, spent less than I would have on a comparable meal at a restaurant, and it was an interesting thing to do.

What a great place! Came here due to reviews on google and weren’t disappointed! We got the shrimp in different sauces and it was absolutely delicious. Loved how quick this was and how delicious. It was like fast food for seafood! We are from Utah so this is a new concept for us and wish someone would open something similar there. We would go all the time! Loved it. Recommend the shrimp meal with garlic and adding the sausage. Delicious!

Delicious fish! A hidden gem in Dauphin Island. Definitely a go to if you are in the area. Did not find better fish on the island. Was able to choose an amount of fish and they cooked it right there on the spot for me. Good potatoes and corn for sides also. Highly recommend!

Our group of 31 tried out Skinners Seafood based on one of the local residents on the beach. We were not disappointed at all. The price was very reasonable and there is nothing like getting fresh seafood cooked right before your eyes. I had the 1/2 pound “mild” steamed shrimp (comes with corn on the Cobb and two sliced potato chucks). It was nice and hot and had butter and shrimp sauce in containers. It also comes with a can of soft drink of your choice. There was so much shrimp (in large sizes), that I could not eat all of it. I just shared the leftovers with some others. Although there are no tables to eat at, we were so hungry that we just ate right outside. There more of a place to get your food and take it somewhere to eat. For the price and quantity and quality of food, you can’t

Definitely go here if you like good, hot, fresh seafood. Not a big store, but they have a great selection of the essential gulf coast seafood. The snapper was super fresh, the steamed shrimp and snow crab were excellent, and the scallops were delicious. I'd go back here for sure.
