Atkins Seafood serves up fried seafood baskets, hushpuppies and other scrumptious sides, plus rotating daily specials, and everything is fresh from the boat and absolutely delicious.

The motto at Atkins Seafood is “If they were any fresher, they’d still be swimmin’!” - and it’s true.

Both the menu and the portions are huge, so you’d better come hungry. If you like fried seafood, you’ll be delighted to see that shrimp, oysters, and fish are on offer. For those who prefer something lighter, grilled options are also available (including crab cakes.)
