Tran's Seafood Market: Reviews & Ratings
I love going to this place. I've been here for as long as I can remember getting my fish and shrimp.
They have the best batter recipe and the food is always cooked just right. My favorite is the fried croaker.
Restaurant was stink but the food was really good and seasoned well. The owners (I'm assuming) were both very nice, and my food was ready within 10 minutes of me being there.
Fresh seafood made to order. Good portions for low price. Also serve fresh uncooked seafood. Friendly staff. Food doesn't take too long to cook. I suggest getting the fried fish. I really enjoyed them. Hush puppies was good also
This review is solely regarding the experience of buying seafood to cook at home. We bought blue crabs from here which were very fresh! All the crabs were very lively and moving like crazy, and they were incredibly tasty. We didn't even know it was close to our hotel until we yelped and gave them a try. Bonus points for being open until 8PM as many seafood markets close earlier around here.
The crabcake sandwich was absolutely amazing. Its made with real crab meat made into a patty and serves on toasted buns. Will definitely come back and customer service was on point!
The outside of the building might make people think twice about going here, but the staff is friendly and the food is good. The fried tilapia and catfish are both good. I didn't like how hard the fried shrimp were fried, so I will probably mention that next time. Also the steamed shrimp come in 2 different flavors of seasonings; spicy and mild. The spicy was really good! I will return.
