Mother Ocean Seafood Market Reviews
I cannot remember when I've had a better fish and chips! Light and crispy batter...tender tasty fish...excellent!!
Finally made it to Mother Ocean for lunch! My husband and I split the fish and chips. It was plenty for two people. Three large pieces of the flakiest best fish I’ve had anywhere! Great fries, great coleslaw …..will definitely be back again.
They say, "Our passion is bringing the most sustainable seafood from the coast of the Carolinas to the mountains." Yesterday, like everyday, the fish, with a little help, jumped right in to our plate of Fish 'N' Chips. Great chips, seasoned well; good slaw as a complement; sauces for dipping, and fish done well. We enjoyed the late lunch and the service from friendly folks. Thanks!
