I grew up in the area and as a kid I always saw this place and was curious about it. Now as an adult I finally got to try it for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. When I got there it was empty so my order didn't take long at all! The staff was very nice and they keep the restaurant clean so I was happy to see that. I got the combo with the two pieces of fried fish the crab cake sandwich fried shrimp fried clams and fried scallops and it came with two sides. I chose fries and hush puppies. The food came out hot with a couple of sides of cocktail sauce and tarter sauce and the fries were seasoned nicely but not over seasoned. Each piece of seafood was decent sized and I got like 8-9 hush puppies so they definitely didn't skimp on the food. The white fish wasn't my favorite but that's only because white fish is something I have to be in the mood for and usually I prefer white fish to be blackened instead of fried. The crab cake that I got was like 50/50 crab and filler but it wasn't terrible all things considered. My favorites out of everything in the combo were the shrimp and scallops so next time I will most likely order those by themselves. My combo cost $28.99 before tax and I think their pricing is fair considering the amount and quality of the food they give you. This is NOT a gourmet seafood restaurant. This is definitely a hole in the wall so expect that going in but if you are in the mood for seafood I definitely recommend giving this place a try. If you are looking for delivery you can order with them through DoorDash. I will be back to try more things on the menu!Parking: There are not a lot of parking spots outside the restaurant so be prepared to possibly park somewhere else and walk over

It’s a small place, but it’s a lovely place to go eat. They don’t try too hard to make it feel like they’re taking your money; it’s actually a nice environment. I’ve been here a total of seven times, and every time they don’t fail me.

After eating, not commenting would be a mistake! I'm so angry! The food is delicious and beautiful, the staff is friendly. Crab depends on the season, but is also very firm and delicious. Good price. Best crab restaurant local in Silver Spring

Terrible customer service. Do not support these nasty people. The food is also junk and overpriced.

This is my go to place for fried fish. I usually get the fried whiting and it always comes out hot, crispy and tasty. The store is kept neat and clean. I give it a thumbs up.Parking: Not a lot of parking but I usually go there during non-busy hours.

I feel like I ordered the easiest thing on the menu, a fried shrimp basket, and crabcakes. The batter on the shrimp were not appetizing and the crabcakes.. please don’t get me

Extremely over priced for the portions, crabcake sandwich was burned on both sides, smaller than a hockey puck and not half as thick. They clearly do not know seafood ….. never again !!!! Stay away…
The food is always hot and the Seafood seem to be fresh always. The service it’s OK. And the atmosphere seems to appease the neighborhood around the restaurant.Parking: Plenty of spaces available.

Got a dozen crabs here recently, they were fantastic and the service was fast. No hassle and a great price. Highly recommended.

The food is not so bad but if you come as a family they don't let one person eat food from another place and share with the family even if you spend a lot. Not a good place to celebrate a birthday.

On two occasions, we have stopped by Seafood in the Buff to order fried whiting. After serving it for dinner, we realized that it had a pungent fishy smell and appeared to be old fish that were battered and fried.Shame on us for going back on Friday to order the same thing. The man with the limp knows that the fish is old, but still cooked it and sold it to us. Please be aware of purchasing writings from this establishment. If you want to try to get the best from this company, insist that they pull your fish from the iced display of fresh fish. Good Luck!
