Seaview Crab Company Midtown Wilmington Retail

Great seafood

Seafood cooked to perfection.
Clean state of the art kitchen and friendly staff.

Today was my first visit to Seaview Crab Company in order to satisfy a strong seafood craving today. I have heard that Seaview Crab Company is one of the better crab shacks in town to purchase fresh, local seafood, so I thought I'd try something from their "new"er kitchen, inside of the market. Glad I did.

FOOD: 2 protein combination platter consisting of the day's fresh catch (Flounder) and Scallops. The platter included a choice between mayo-based or vinegar-based cole slaw and fresh fries. The fries were exceptional. Light, hot and crispy exterior, seasoned wonderfully. The Flounder tasted as if it were just caught this morning. The white, flaky fish steamed out of Seaview's signature conrmeal breading, delivering Southern goodness you would expect from a beach town seafood market. Although the preparation of the flounder isn't my #1, SCC isn't far behind. The scallops, however, were the showstopper. Extra-large, thick discs, also fried up in their cormeal batter, will make you say "whoa". The cornmeal, seasoning and portion sizes of the scallops reassure you of a great value! The vinegar-based cole slaw was interesting. I believe SCC uses a balsamic blend, which brings the sweet and tart flavors upfront and is a refreshing side to chew on when you're wanting to cleanse the palate. Although I prefer a mayo-based cole slaw...this one worked well with the fried seafood and provided a balance of light and refreshing with the heavier fried soul food. SCORE: 4.6 STARS!!

SERVICE: The pleasant young lady behind the kitchen ordering station was courteous, accomodating and even chose one of my sides for my meal. I was also offered fresh samples of house-made SCC dips and only waited 7 mins for my hot food. The entire staff inside adhered to COVID safety measures by wearing masks, gloves and practiced social distancing. SCC was a well-oiled machine all the way around and I felt welcomed. SCORE: 5 STARS!!

OVERALL SCORE: FRESH, local seafood market that also has chefs and a staff that prepares it for you, based on their vision? Um...yes, please. The cornmeal breading on their fried seafood is a nice change from others in town and the portion sizes deliver a great value. I felt like a valued guest inside, food was prepared quickly and it tasted amazing. Thank you again for the wonderful meal today! SCORE: 4.8 STARS!!

What can I say? There are no words to describe the sensation in my mouth when eating their food. I could eat from here every day of the week and never get tire of it. Always fresh, mostly local, love the daily special...never have I been disappointed. If I ever win the lottery I will still Brandon from this Kitchen. I have eaten in many seafood restaurant in Wilmington and surrounding area, Seaview Crab Company kitchen has nothing to envy from them, and you pay a 1/4 of the price...so be generous and give the very friendly/professional staff a well deserved tip.
I organize a group order of about 18 people at my job. Everyone was more very happy with their meal and the order was ready for pick up in about 30 minutes.
Thank you Seaview Crab Company for satisfying my very demanding taste.

Joined the Local Picks Pack club and went to get my first catch. Got some swordfish steaks and oysters. Never cooked fresh oysters and the staff informed me how to steam them in the oven; delicious. Very helpful and informative folks working there. Not disappointed in shopping there.
