King Seafood Market

Not impressed at all the first time I went I wasn’t happy but I said let me try it again no flavor at all the shrimp tasted gummy the crab legs had no flavor my hubby got fish I’ll update y’all when I find out what he thought about it

I was not at all impressed with this restaurant when you go to this place you definitely have to be precise as to telling them how to cook your food they took The shells off of my shrimp which I didn’t want the shrimp was overcooked the muscles was overcooked The potatoes had no flavor as well as the sausage i’m only given two stars because the service was pretty nice the people who work there is very friendly but I asked for my seafood which I love with all of my heart lol I won’t go back there to get it

KSM! I wanted some fried whiting, so my boyfriend and I were on the hunt. He found this place on Unilocal!& we just had to go. I bought some whiting raw and had a few pieces fried. I also got some crab cakes (fried); but I wanted to take them home and bake them. That was my fault for not telling them, but I definitely will next time because I will be back! I LOVE fish!
The pieces they fried for me were good. I don’t usually fry my fish in cornmeal or whatever so next time I’ll just get some to go, but it was quality whiting and at $ 5.69/lb it was very affordable.
The crab cakes were $ 4.99/each. To have the food cooked for you, it’s an additional $ 1.
This place is technically a fish market, not really a restaurant. So, there isn’t a food inspection score.
I usually don’t eat at places like this because I’m quite skeptical, but I’m totally glad I tried it. Since it’s fairly close to my house, I know i’ll be back the next time i crave some fish!
Great all around!!!

I absolutely love this place. The service and food is amazing. Great food for great prices! Its hard to find consistent good cajun style seafood, however this place has never disappointed me. It is more of a to-​go spot, as they only have a bench with 2 tables. This place is a MUST GO TO PLACE for seafood lovers (like myself). The spiciness hits the spot! Much better than any other place I’ve been to (red crawfish, crawfish shack).

I am from New Orleans and this is the best I have found in Georgia for boiled seafood. They not only boil but will fry it for you and it is sooooooo good. I like it better than the ever popular Southern seafood on Lawrenceville Hwy. The people are nice and the food is delicious. I always get my food to go because this is not the sit down and eat kind of place but that’s fine with me and what I am used to anyway growing up in NO with all the seafood take out places there.
I typically get the boiled crab legs and shrimp with corn, brocoli. and sausage. Or I will get fried catfish and shrimp with fries. I like the way they fry it because the batter is not thick. It is very thin and perfectly seasoned. Its not super greasy either because I think the batter is light/​thin. The boiled seafood is good also and I like that they actually boil it in a seasoned boil as opposed to boiling it plan and putting the seasoning on top of the shell like they do at Southern Seafood. I highly recommend this place. I go there for all of my seafood cravings.

This place is still good but watch out for the amount of food that you order versus pay for. I paid for a few pounds of fried shrimp and they looked like a single dinner from captain ds. Every other time it comes in an aluminum pan. Sometimes, I think they short chagne orders and ring up anything. They also don’t know that an American Express is a credit card and assume everyone has an EBT card.
If someone would let me use their EBT, I would be happy.
The turkey necks are delicious too.

We love this place! Fresh catfish, shrimp, perch, frogs legs, and more. You can buy it and take it home to cook it yourself, or you can have it cooked there, either breaded and fried, or steamed with your choice of seasoning and butter. They also have side items like French fries, steamed broccoli, and boiled potatoes. Here’s a little tip for you. Call in your order, then go pick it up. Ask them to put some holes in the styrofoam containers for anything fried and they won’t get soggy. Excellent dinner in a hurry, and also cheap! We usually order 2 pieces of fried catfish, about a pound of steamed perch, and some broccoli, potatoes, and French fries and all that is under $ 20.00. Totally worth it.

I wondered why they did not have a food inspection rating but they are a market and not technically a restaurant.
I was skeptical but I ate there anyway after talking to a regular who spoke highly of the food and advised that the lines on Friday are typically out of the door.
My son and I both enjoyed our dinner. I had the spicy steamed shrimp with butter steamed potatoes and he ate fried tilapia and fries.

This was my first time here & I ordered 5lbs of crawfish, potatoes, corn, and broccoli. This place is closer than Southern Seafood, which is my regular spot. I was very disappointed by the crawfish. They were not fresh at all. But the veggies were all great! Needless to say, I will be making that extra 10 min drive to Southern Seafood next time.

Wow, great seafood! This is what can be described as an assuming hole-​in-​the-​wall gem located in a nearly forgotten strip mall off of Memorial Drive, but sometimes, the best foods can be found in dives!
SO suggested that we come based off a friend’s high recommendation and I’m so glad that we did.
There is a long counter filled with various cuts of fish and seafood on display as well as 2 – 3 freezers against the other wall. You can actually pick out your own seafood from them.
There are only 3 tables here, so it’s more of a buy and dash place. However, if you do choose to eat here and not risk trying to get back home and arrive with soggy seafood, then bring a light jacket because it is absolutely freezing in here. Which is great for seafood, but not so much for someone like me.
On our first visit, SO ordered an assortment of seafood: tilapia, shrimp, crab legs. My eyes lit up when I saw frog legs on the menu. I know that alot of people do not like frog legs, and that’s fine, cause that just means more for me! I asked them how they cooked it and was even given a quizzed look by the employee who even admitted that this wasn’t their most requested item.
SO and I settled into a corner with a table and waited for our seafood. The shrimps were big and plump. The light breading on the fish let the real quality and freshness of the fish come through, and the frog legs were PERFECT! It wasn’t overdone (which can result in tough, dry, jerky like meat) or under done (which results in a gamey, chewy meat). HOWEVER, a big disclaimer, the second time I had them they were very overdone and slightly burnt — but there was a huge crowd mob that day so I can understand.
On Monday’s and Wednesdays, your seafood is an additional 20% off, so I am guessing that they get rid of inventory those days to make room for more.
A word of advice, if you are going to eat here, just know that you are dining off of Memorial Drive and can sometimes be a witness to some crazy stuff. Case in point, on one of our visits here, there were 2 ladies that came in to pick up their seafood.
One lady made a HUGE stink about being shorted 2 pieces of shrimp. Like seriously? You ordered a whole pound to eat and then you scream bloody murder from 2 measly pieces of shrimp? Even her friend was like, ok, I will give you 2 of mine — just shut up! Even the other customers there were making comments on the craziness we were all being entertained to, but if that is the price of great seafood then I guess I will just have to sit back and be entertained by it! LOL

Real good seafood place on memorial dr.
I came here because a friend of mine recommended me and said it was pretty good. if not better, just as good as Crawfish shack. I visited them on sunday around lunch time. It was cold inside, maybe a bit too cold in eat there but we wanted to eat the seafood soon as it was ready so we don’t get soggy fried food by taking it back home. To be fair though, it was a pretty cold day. There is a big screen TV that was playing a recent movie that made the waiting time go by quick. me and my wife shared a pound of LG shrimp and pound of tilapia, and a pound of frog legs. I didn’t know my wife liked frog legs, because I’m not a big fan of frogs when I can eat fish and shrimp.
The shrimp had lightly breaded that was not salty and with good flavors that I really really liked. The tilapia was huge fillets fried up just right. Those who like fish with heavy breading like at captain Ds may not like it here but for me it was almost perfect. I can’t say the same for the frog legs because my wife had most of it but she really did enjoy it. She said that some other places overcook it, that makes the meat dry and tough and some undercook it that makes the gamey taste overwhelming. She said this place did it right.
They also had huge freezer full of frozen crab legs of all different kinds that you can pick out your own clusters which I thought was pretty cool.
King seafood has earned my business. I’ve been back since the 1^st time. next time I’m gonna have to get some crabs and update but I’ll be back for more.
ask for allen and calvin.

Seafood on Friday night no longer has to just be fried fish! Now we have an option and I will return.

This place is the bomb! My sister visiting from VA found out about this place while in search of some blue crabs. I have been hooked every since! I have a seafood night once a month where I grab some crab clusters, crawfish, shrimp, oysters, fish, potatoes and corn. I love my seafood spicy and the seasoning is just right. It’s a real no frills kinda place don’t expect to eat in, but don’t let that turn you off from experiencing some good seafood.

Yes, I will be back at King Seafood. I finally visited this store tonight after seeing it open for several months. I was a bit skeptical since this location has been several other failing businesses. When I saw all of the people crowded inside, I figured the least I could do is check it out. So I did and boy was I pleased. This place has a few different types of fish, both whole and fillet. They also have shrimp, cluster crab legs, frog legs (Yuck) a variety of other things that I can’t remember; but they will also prepare sides for you. I ordered 2 pounds of tilapia fillets and asked them to fry it. The filleted fish was $ 3.99/lb uncooked and $ 1.50/lb extra to have it fried. In total, I got 6 big fillets for less than $ 12 (that’s including tax). Btw, it also passed the taste test. We happen to eat fish a lot in my household (mostly baked though), but fried fish is a treat to eat (but not to make thanks to the mess). I’m glad I gave this place a chance. I will be back…

This is not a traditional seafood restaurant… it’s basically a tiny seafood market where you come in, tell them what you want, and then they cook your food… Honestly, the food is not that bad and it’s prety good. If you like seafood, I strongly urged you to try this place out at least once. They sell anything from fish, crab legs ($ 8.99/lb), shrimp ($ 7.99/lb and $ 8.99/lb), and other shell fish…
During my last visit there in December 2011, I picked out two batches of crab legs straight out of the freezer and had them steam-​cooked with butter sauce and Creole seasoning… I also ordered a pound of shrimp to be steam-​cooked as well at $ 7.99/lb. My total came to $ 26.80 (to give you a feel for how much you may have to spend), but it was good!
