Eugene Platt’s Fish & Shrimp

A great place to go to get fresh seafood. Call ahead and ask when their shipments come in so that you can plan out your vacation menu with the freshest seafood.

The food selection here is AMAZING! I followed the suggestion of the other Unilocal reviews and ordered a pound of steamed shrimp… O.M.G…heaven in my mouth!!! We bought a huge swordfish steak and it is cooking as I type. Smelled so good and fresh in there when we were shopping.
This is a must stop! We are here 3 more days and will be going back tomorrow to get more fish to cook.

Lack of fresh seafood when we were there… maybe it was just a super busy day for them. We left and went down the street to another seafood market.

We make a special trip & drive over a half hour (with a cooler in tow!) to get our fresh shrimp & king crab legs here for our annual seafood cookout. The food is so fresh and delicious! The staff is great and very helpful with their suggestions on great new ways to prepare the food. This is a great place to go!

Fantastic food! Ordered snow crab legs and shrimp. Both were seasoned with old bay seasoning and steamed. Perfectly cooked and a great meal to grab to eat in at home.

Not really a restaurant but THE place to go for fresh seafood. More like a take out only seafood place. They will steam your seafood etc. while you wait or you can take it home and cook as you like. They are friendly and helpful and it will be on our list of «go to» places from now on.

This is always a great experience for us. We get them to steam us shrimp, sausage, and corn and eat on it for days. Shrimp are always tender, seasoning is perfect, and the fish looks awesome too. we’re going to try that next!

I rarely give five stars for anything but Eugene’s deserves that and more. We purchased steamed shrimp, scallop imperial, stuffed clams and crab cakes. All I can say is YUM! In addition the prices were quite reasonable and the people there were helpful and courteous. We will most definitely be returning here !

I’m obsessed.
If I lived at North Myrtle, I honestly think I’d find myself here at least 4 times a week… Unfortunately, I was only down for a short weekend, and only managed to make it out to Eugene Platt’s once. Nevertheless, once was enough to leave a pretty solid lasting impression!
So Eugene’s is essentially half a fishing/​bait shop and half an epic fresh seafood market. The prices are great and the selection of seafood is absolutely fantastic. At the recommendation of other Unilocalers, I went for a pound of the large shrimp and asked to have it steamed in a generous amount of Old Bay. It was so fresh and tasty… it was honestly a struggle to refrain myself from finishing the whole box in one go…
To the right of the seafood case is a refrigerated section with pre-​made foods including shrimp salads, cocktail sauces, crab meat, and calamari salad, to name a few! I couldn’t resist the calamari salad! It was so flavorful and delicious with hints of Oriental flavorings!
In the few minutes it took to steam the shrimp, I had the chance to peruse the aisles. The variety of seasonings, sauces, dips, and soup bases that were available were amazing. By the register, you could also grab a few ears of corn and bushels of potato! Eugene Platt’s really is a one stop shop for your next crab boil… but while you’re crab-​boil-​supply-​shopping, do yourself a favor, and grab half a pound of steamed shrimp to help tide you over. Think of it as a pre-​crab boil snack!
Absolutely obsessed.

Great place. Love their cocktail sauce. Also love that you can buy shrimp or crab and they will steam them for you there so you can take home to eat.

Love this place! We do takeout when we’re in town for a quick getaway. Delicious seafood that they’ll steam for you. Lots of options and so reasonably priced. They have homemade soups and sauces and also a grocery area. This is our first stop when arriving in N. Myrtle Beach before settling in at North Beach Plantation :) Enjoy!

Great prices, great service! We went for ingredients for our first Low Country Boil and the young man behind the counter, Drew, walked us through what we would need and in what quantities. He was so helpful and thorough in checking for quality, occasionally tossing a less than desirable piece, I really felt that we were appreciated as customers and very well taken care of. I would highly recommend this market!

I can’t recommend this place enough, the got great seafood at good prices. I got 26 – 30 count shrimp for $ 8.99 a pound.
They also have a big selection of pots, burners, strainers, seasoning, etc… For your next low country boil.

I went there in January 2014 to purchase fish to bring home and cook.
After reading the reviews I expected to be able to buy an awesome piece of fish at a super price.
I asked the guy behind the counter what was fresh and he said «I think the grouper is fresh.» «Anything else?» I replied. He hesitated and said «Maybe the salmon?»
In the end the grouper was good — and fresh — but there wasn’t much of a selection overall. At $ 17.99 it didn’t seem like a bargain and I probably should have just gone to a market closer to my accommodations instead of driving 11 miles because of the reviews.
I’m guessing they have a much better selection in the summer.

This is a great local place in North Myrtle Beach. It sells live bait, a limited line of groceries, and great, fresh seafood. I went there based on Unilocal reviews. I bought a pound of steamed spiced shrimp which the staff steamed for me. Then I went down to the beach and ate the whole pound. Blissful. I later bought another ½ pound for friends. We all enjoyed the shrimp for their fresh, succulent taste. A pound of the medium shrimp at that time ran $ 8.99.

Best crab legs we’ve ever had! If you are a crab leg lover, this is your place!!!
I read about this place on Unilocal and thought we should try it, since we’ve had some mediocre crab legs at some mediocre places in Myrtle. We got crab legs, shrimp and crawfish. What a feast!!!
We will definitely return when we’re in Myrtle again!

Best meal we had in Myrtle Beach! We bought the deveined shrimp and snow crab, both of which were delicious. The crab was juicy and full of flavor. Fairly priced.

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! I personally stopped in to get some steamed crab legs and Oysters. The crab legs were moist and VERY meaty. You are asked the amount of OldBay you would like before they are steamed. The oysters were steamed perfectly. I did not notice any oysters that were dry or bad. It seems that this place is a tackle shop and a market. I also noticed all types of fresh fish, shrimps, crawfish, scallops, and mussels. I advise everyone to stop here when in Myrtle Beach… its WAYYYY better than any restaurant:)

Every kind of fish or shrimp you can think of here. They will steam it.
Got king crab legs and they had alot of meat in the claws. Perfection!

Eugene Platt’s is a great place to pick up all the seafood you need to make a great meal when you’re on vacation at the beach. We always get a room with a kitchen so we can cook.
This past visit, I got fresh tuna ($ 10/​lb), local shrimp (peeled and cleaned for $ 10/​lb, and they were roughly 20 count), and mahi mahi (coincidentally $ 10/​lb). Everything was really fresh and cooked up beautifully. The shrimp were especially good.
Half of this place is a seafood-​centered grocery store, and the other half is a fishing supply/​bait shop, so just know that going in.
