The Seafood Bisque - to die for ! Hesitated at the 7.95, but WOW is it worth it. Brought some back to Michigan :-) AND as someone else mentioned, the Shrimp Salad is outstanding

Been going to this summer-only seafood place for carryout for decades because everything is always extremely fresh, simple, and well-prepared. Good set of daily choices, including home-made desserts. I particularly love their clam chowder. Because they are so popular, it's best to call in hours ahead of time for pick-up at your preferred time.

The only reason I'm giving them 5 stars is because 10 isn't an option! 2nd year in a row of outstanding seafood!!!! The 10lbs of crab and 2lbs of shrimp went down like a fat kid on a seesaw, the whole group was VERY happy.

The seafood is very fresh at a good price. Best seafood in town hands down. We went here on a recommendation from a friend and they did not let down. The salmon is excellent, the swordfish, the list goes on. Check this place out it’s really good!

After coming to BB twice and never locating a decent seafood restaurant with swordfish and lobster, we were pleased to find South Bethany Seafood Market. Perfect for take out, the food was delicious and well portioned for the price. It’s a little tricky to navigate getting in/out of the plaza parking lot as a non-local, but it’s worth the struggle. Next up: trying the nine layer cake!!! This has become a fast favorite for us, and when we are back, this will be one of our choice dinner spots.

I lived in NYC for years. As a result, I was fortunate enough to have access to some of the freshest seafood in the world. I cook a lot -- and I'm really, really picky when it comes to buying fish. And let me tell you...this place has the freshest / best in the area. The salmon and halibut are standouts -- but I've never had even a mediocre piece of fish from this place. Five stars and two thumbs up.

The best fresh seafood anywhere. Been coming here for years and never once let down. The owner Andy is a stickler for quality and so patient and helpful in making sure you get exactly what you want. Love it.
