If there is one thing that unites native South Carolinians, it's a love for fresh, just pulled from the water, seafood. It's also, perhaps, one of the few things that we never (ever!) take for granted. If you can't relate to either of these statements, then spend a little time in a landlocked state and then you'll agree. The very next time you're itching for a little adventure, pop in the car and head to this hidden gem, where the seafood is so fresh, you may swear it's still moving!
Ocean Fish Market is obscurely located in the rear of a parking lot, and only two blocks from the picturesque Riverwalk in downtown Conway.
Once you've had a taste of the goodness that comes packed in a to-go container, you'll be back again and again.
As the name implies, the market is also a bona fide seafood market. Inside, you'll find fresh fish you can buy and take home to cook.
And if you want to order cooked food, you'll head to the window on the side of the building. You can't miss it; there's a menu board next to the window.
Ocean Fish Market's signature white bread is perfectly paired with the seafood for an old-fashioned meal just like your momma made. From fried catfish to shimp, flounder, crab cakes and more, you're sure to find something here to satisfy your taste buds.
All orders come with rice or french fries, plus coleslaw and hushpuppies. No inside seating is available, so once you order, head outside for another signature South Carolina experience...
Dining under grand old oak trees that are covered in Spanish moss!
