OMG!!! I read the reviews and this place did not disappoint! The seafood gumbo was the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!

A tiny little restaurant with delicious food. Our waitress was very pleasant. We had our dogs with us and sat at the one little outdoor table.
The gumbo was delicious and the "armadillo eggs" were tasty.

Great seafood options! Super tasty! The seating is a little bit cramped. A wheelchair would be a bit of a nightmare. But that is my only ding.

Good food & great atmosphere. We thought for the small crowd, service lacked a bit, but just one waitress also manning the drive thru, the 4 rate is fair.

Oh man, I love finding these small shacks around that have fantastic food! I will absolutely make it a point to return here! Always looking for great seafood, I am, and here it be! We had the grilled flounder, the fried flounder, and fried shrimp. I usually try the flounder or redfish at a new place first. And now I can't wait to get back there and try my favorite: SNAPPER! I will also try many other things here as well. It seems to me it's getting harder to find hushpuppies that are golden brown anymore. They are always dark brown and overcooked. I was excited when I saw these! But alas, they were too sweet for me. But they sure were purty.
Also, I felt the prices were quite reasonable for fresh seafood.

I recently dined at Blue Ocean Seafood, and it was an unforgettable experience. Although I don't live in Bay City, this place is definitely worth the trip. The grilled sriracha shrimp and fish were outstanding—easily the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the seafood was incredibly fresh. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it an overall fantastic meal. I'll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this gem to anyone in the area or just passing through.

Blue Ocean Seafood is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of fresh seafood. The staff is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, always ready with excellent recommendations.

I had the pleasure of trying their grilled salmon, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and accompanied by a delightful medley of seasonal vegetables. The gumbo was also a standout; rich, creamy, and brimming with tender meat.

The ambiance is cozy yet sophisticated, making it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Plus, their ocean view adds an extra layer of charm to the whole experience.

If you're a seafood lover, Blue Ocean Seafood is a must-visit. Exceptional food, top-notch service, and a welcoming environment—what more could you ask for?

This place is the definition of underrated. Not from the area but.. this place right here makes me wanna sell my house and live right next to it. Don’t sleep on it if y’all haven’t tried it. Didn’t take a pic but the stuffed jalapeños are slap.

Enjoyed this little spot we found on our way back from Matagorda beach, service was excellent and loved the atmosphere. I had the fried snapper, tasted delicious. My favorite thing is that they had a lot of good sides to accompany my fish. I definitely recommend !

Did the cook change? Total disappointment based on reviews. Jumbo shrimp was small shrimp pounded to nothing with breading that was over cooked. My husband’s chicken fried steak was ok. The kids soda was flat and the tea was old. Waitress was nice but not very attentive. No one was in the restaurant but took forever to order.
