We loved the fresh seafood and all the menu options. The picnic tables outside near the little stream provided a relaxing place to eat as well. Highly recommend!

Cuda Co is one of those Charleston spots that never disappoints. Just a quick ride from Downtown, it’s my go-to when I want something fresh that really scratches the seafood itch.
The team is friendly, the selection is always top-notch, and you can tell they take pride in what they do.
As a Downtown Charleston realtor, I love sharing local favorites like this with clients who are new to the area.
Cuda Co is the kind of neighborhood business that captures what makes Charleston living so specia, local flavor, genuine people, and incredible food.

Unfortunately they were out of Ceviche so I tried other items on the menu. The white wine clams are to die for, oysters are sweet and fresh. The tuna was fantastic.
Worth the price.

Today was the second time I visited CudaCo. They are the best place to get fresh oysters, scallops and so much more. Austin was an amazing help. This time I did also order their Roasted local squash bisque with crab meat special. Just wow! I will definitely come back to try some more things on the menu

It was expensive for what little you get. I understand it's seafood, but this was kinda a joke. One party in front of us. It took over an hour and half for grouper and dozen raw oysters. Left hungry. Ordered at the counter. No help from staff. Picked up our own food from counter. No one checked on us and yet we were still asked to leave a tip. Food was good. But I think other options would be better.

This fish market is one of the best around the Charleston area. The seafood is incredibly fresh and you can pick out your fish right from the case and have it made into a delicious sandwich, or take it home to cook yourself. Everything tastes like it was just caught that morning.
The poke bowls are amazing, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. They’ve also got a great selection of refrigerated items to grab and go. And if you’re dining in, they serve beer and wine, which makes the whole experience even better.
Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, picking up dinner, or just browsing their daily catch, Cudaco never disappoints. Friendly staff, top-quality seafood, and an easy coastal vibe. Everything you want in a local fish market.

Best place for seafood on James and John's Island. Try the grouper cheeks
You can sit outside at the picnic benches to eat and it’s especially relaxing when you go at night when it’s dark and they have all the string lights in the trees. The food is AMAZING!! You can see the food you want and pick which pieces you want and they will fry it up for you. I had a crusted salmon and it came with a citrusy tartar and it all tasted better than I’ve ever had! Hubby had stone crab claws and he thought they were pretty good as well. Definitely recommend if you need a seafood fix!

Seafood market with indoor and outdoor places to sit. Wine cellar too. Casual and my favorite place when visiting Folly beach. The ceviche’s great as is the sticky rice.

First, came the oysters, fresh from the cold, deep waters. Each pearlescent half-shell held a morsel of briny, sweet ocean, to be slurped down with a whisper of lemon and a tiny burst of mignonette. The cool, crisp wine cut through the minerality, brightening the palate for the feast to come. Next, a crab cake arrived, golden and perfectly seared. It was less cake and more a monument to crab—pure, sweet lump meat, held together by the barest hint of seasoning and a delicate crust. With a fork, the exterior gave way to a warm, moist interior, each flaky strand of crab tasting of summer and salt. The prosecco’s light fruitiness and high acidity were the perfect foil for the rich, buttery crab, cleansing the palate with every sip. The final act was a fish fry, a glorious mound of crispy, fried fish. The flaky, tender whitefish, encased in a light and crunchy batter, was piping hot and utterly satisfying. A squeeze of lemon and a dash of tartar sauce completed the plate. The bubbles of the prosecco, still dancing on the tongue, lifted the richness of the fried food, making each bite feel as fresh as the first. It was a meal of simple pleasures, executed with flawless perfection, and elevated by the celebratory sparkle of the wine.
