Cameron’s Seafood Market

GO TO SAL’S on broad Fairmont. Bad customer service here food made me sick because it was bad seafood they don’t throw away bad FOOD they use to be good but I don’t know what happened.

Delicious takeout seafood! Try the fried shrimp and scallops combination platter and their hush puppies.

I love this place. The food is great and the portions are too. Late hours during the weekend it can get crowded.

I used to order from this place alot! Mostly fried fish, vegetables and mussels. I’ve never tried their shrimp or crabs but my go to items were tasty. They use alot of butter so if you’re health conscious, you might want to ask them to go easy. I tried ordering over the phone and online but they have better prices if you order from inside the store.

Very disappointed, I order from Cameron’s often and I have noticed a gradual decline in the quantity of their fish and shrimp. Steamed shrimp were over cooked on my order from a week ago. Tonight I ordered a fried bluefish platter. I was straved so a called ahead, I don’t live in the city but I travel the 7.6mi because the food HAD a history of being good. Well, my platter was ready, great, I added a slice of cheesecake, last week I had a slice of coconut cake which is usually fresh not last week it was stale tasting. When I started to drive off I thought the fish smelt a little loud that it’s not usually so pronounced. Well I’m eating and driving and trying to satisfy my hunger my mouth and tongue starts to feel stingy. Crap the nose no what the nose know. Allergic reaction to bad seafood. Now I just took benadryl. My last trip to the city for Cameron’s seafood.

Great take out fresh, quick service, generous portions. I called ahead everything was great

Got the fried shrimp and scallop platter (2 of them). The scallops were tiny, soggy, mushy, and inedible, as was the french fries. The shrimp were waaaaaay over breaded, to hide the fishy, tiny, bland shrimp. Avoid at all cost.

My wife brought two Dungeness crab leg platters a few nights ago. Sorry to say but the best part of the platter was the corn and broccoli. The crabs meat was dull to dark in color, extremely dry, tough to chew and without flavor This was an evening purchase so there was no need for the crabs to be left over from the day before. At a cost of over $ 50 for the platters, I won’t be returning.

2.5stars. Rounded up on the rating due to the friendly hard-​working staff of this cute neighborhood establishment.
Fair selection of seafood offerings with most of it still frozen-​ish in the clean organized looking displays. Friendly service that got super busy at some points and a fairly happening upbeat environment with happy people enjoying their meals. We liked the variety of the seafood platter (crab cake, fish filet, butterfly shrimp and scallops). Everything was average in this order but the butterfly shrimps were super good with a perfect crispy breading. Our other order, the spiced shrimp, wasn’t bad but there was a mysterious herb in it I wasn’t crazy about. Cole slaw and buttery corn on the cob weren’t bad. Fries were a bit soggy by the time we got home the way they were packaged.
I would recommend possibly ordering ahead your takeout order– and ordering the butterfly shrimp (hard to mess this up) or the seafood platter. I wish we had ordered ahead of time for pick-​up to speed up the process but we wanted to come in to see the selection in the displays for fun.

Visiting Philly, ordered in from Cameron’s, absolutely fabulous. Generous and lovely shrimp cocktail (9 huge perfectly poached prawns, good cocktail sauce with horseradish) NE clam chowder spicy with nutmeg, or mace, crab gumbo, sides, all very good. On a Friday night the delivery time was ~ 35 – 40 minutes. Awesome!

The Ultimate Seafood platter was delicious and well worth it! Everything was great. I had my food delivered through Grubhub so the food was not hot when if arrived but still tasty. I would order again or go there myself and pick it up. I will be recommending this place.

my job ordered from here and I was not impressed.
My shrimp that I make at home tasted better.
The brocolli was really good.
The rice was bland and dry.

Mmmmmmm, I can still taste the crab cake as I type this review! I LOVE this seafood place although the price can be pricy on certain selections, it’s worth every penny.
MUST MUST MUST try the crab cake! It is to die for!

Cameron’s has gone to the dogs! when they first opened, the food was awesome and tasted as if it was prepared with love. i ate there today and the food was AWFGUL!!! one shouldn’t have to watch for bones in a crab cake, The rice was old and overcooked, the broccoli was overcooked and tasteless, the corn on the cob was soggy, and the roll (As always) was stale! it’s as if, since they now know the cliental they have will be using food stamps and come from impoverished areas, they don’t have to give their all!
I spent cash money today ($ 17.42) just to make my self sick! What a drag, and a loss. I am mourning for a good restaurant!

Ordered food from Cameron’s via delivery through Dining In last Friday because I was being a good Catholic on Good Friday. It was pretty close to my office and their prices are reasonable, so a few colleagues and I said «what the heck.»
The food came in about 35 mins (nice!!!) and the bag was ridiculously heavy when the driver gave it to me. I didn’t order this much food, did I? When we opened the bags, we were blown away by the portions of fish and the sides. Also, kudos for all of the condiments that they gave us. Most places only give them to you if you ask and we had forgotten to ask.
I ordered the fried cod with fries. The three gigantic pieces of cod were amazing. They weren’t fried «too hard» nor battered too heavily. They were made just perfect. Also, the fish was extremely fresh. The fries; however, were just OK… not bad, but just OK.
For the other orders, one colleague got the stuffed flounder with broccoli and rice and the other got grilled swordfish with broccoli and rice. They both raved about the food (quality and quantity) and want to order from there every Friday. They need to relax! I cannot afford a seafood habit, even though their prices were extremely reasonable.
To think, I have drove past Cameron’s a million times and never thought they would be as good and fresh as they were. Shame on me because they were great!

okay, i swore to myself after having a horrible meal here a couple years ago that i would NEVER go back but, i screwed up and returned. first, let me describe the horrible meal from the last time. i actually stopped by cameron’s just after opening on a saturday morning thinking i’d beat the normal rush and i actually did. typically you’d expect that when a restaurant opens for the day you’d get the freshest food. absolutely NOT the case here. i ordered a fried crabcake platter and it came out cold, almost as though it was leftover from the night before and then slightly re-​heated. total disappointment.
so, yesterday evening i decided to venture out to enjoy one of the first truly warm days of the spring season and figured i’d stop by cameron’s to grab a bite. huge mistake. the wait in this place is horrendous. it NEVER gets better. i waited approximately 20 minutes just to place my order then another 20 – 25 minutes to receive it. i left and then parked a few blocks away in a nice quiet spot to eat in my car and enjoy the evening air just to find that my food was only lukewarm and a bit moist from condensation inside the styrofoam container.
as far as taste goes, yeah, they have good tasting food but who wants their food served cold and moist when its supposed to be piping hot and crispy? part of the reason why people like fried foods is because they enjoy the crispness of it. well, if you’re looking for crispy fried shrimp, crab cakes, or any other seafood delight DO NOT GO TO CAMERON’S, your food will NOT be hot when you get it. i just cannot understand why they are so slow! thats the main reason why the food is served cold. i dont know if the problem is in the kitchen or with the counter crew or what. all i know for sure is i am NEVER going back and i’d have a really hard time recommending this place to anyone else.

When other reviewers say, «Call 1^st», BELIEVE IT!!! Call & order your food before you even step onto the street to get into this place because you’re going to wait awhile. Check the website, get the number & CALL!!! Now is the wait worth it, yes it is!
I asked a friend that lived in the area if the food was good. Their response-«Oh yeah!» So I walked in & was hit with a wall, A WALL of people waiting to put in an order. Any other circumstances, I would of left & gone somewhere else. But my friend assured me that the wait would be worth it. About 20 minutes later, I finally made it to the counter & ordered-​boiled shrimp scampi & ½ lb fried calamire.
Another 15 minute till my order was ready so I looked around. Yes, they place is clean. You can’t even smell the scent of fish in the place. There’s fresh seafood ready to go & nicely displayed. It’s a little pricey compared to say… Reading Terminal Market but lower than Whole Foods. So depending on what you want, it’s can be bargain.
The staff that interact with the consumers are friendly & have great patience. People change orders at random after ordering, the cooks are tossing out orders at high speed & there’s about 20+ people in front waiting but the 2 people at the counter are just as polite & friendly like, no pressure.
When I received my order, there were still more people coming in & the line hasn’t change in length at all. When I got home, I opened up the containers & chowed down!!! It was so good. I’ll be go back there again to eat but I’m calling 1^st!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the jumbo lump crab cake! In the hood, but worth the trip. People lined up and serviced fairly quickly. Try the tropical slushes! Great treat on hot day!

We grab takeout from here every so often. They recently made some renovations to spruce it up, and it looks nicer than ever. Cameron’s has all kinds of seafood, and all the fish is cooked to order. You can even buy fish by the pound to take home and cook yourself! We love their broiled fish platters, which comes with the fish of your choice, rice & steamed veggies or French fries & coleslaw, and a bread roll. The crab gumbo is good in small portions, but when I ate too much of it, the salty taste overwhelmed me. The portions from Cameron’s are so huge, we usually have leftovers. The quality of the food’s great, but it’s better to call in, because walk-​in orders may take a while. Usually the wait’s for maybe 10 to 20 minutes, but once we waited about 40 minutes with three or four people in front of us in line.

Pros: Good quality seafood selection. Has seating to eat-​in but not a «date night» setting etc… Good timely service. My favorites so far are the: Stuffed Salmon and Spicy Shrimp… YUMMY!!!
Cons: Some seafood prices were too high ie: crablegs-10.99/pd kinglegs-18.99
