Stopped in just to see what they had, left with a beautiful side of flounder and some p&d shrimp!…read moreDinner that night was delicious! The flounder tasted super fresh and you really can't get better than fresh N.C. shrimp. Great quality raw product. I wish that they would let you pick your weight you'd like to purchase. There was a little push back when we asked for 8pc of shrimp, we are cooking for 2 and didn't need a half pound or pound. And I was really hoping to buy just a couple scallops to go with dinner but they were pretty firm on selling a minimum of a half pound. Good to know for next time.. we will be back!

After 20 years of being a loyal customer I will no longer shop at Clem's. For over a year now I…read morehave been there many times trying to shop with EBT and have only been successful 1 time. Yesterday was even worse. The lady working COULD use the EBT but could not filet my fish. So once again I left with nothing. I gave it one more chance today and the lady could not use the EBT card. So I will no longer try to shop there and I will no longer send others to shop there. Goodbye Clem's. Deborah P A very hurt and dissatisfied customer

Arrived on a Friday night and was seated promptly away from the noisier larger dining area. We enjoyed our seats around corner of front door. Lily was right with us asking for a drink order which we only had water. My wife ordered the fish special that came with baked fish, hush puppies and coleslaw. I ordered Mermaids Delight which was Sautéed scallops, shrimp, mushrooms and scallions in a garlic, parmesan cream sauce finished with lump Blue Crab over linguini pasta. Everything tasted good and service was ok. I had a little problem with value of meal and the atmosphere is nothing to right home about.

Shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage and the seasoning. You also get butter and the cocktail sauce. Take it home, put the pots on the stove, add your beer or water (we did a shandy), steam that stuff up for about 15ish minutes and then add the shrimp. We added the dry seasoning on top of the shrimp and steamed the pots some more until the shrimp was pink. Boom! It was done. We even had leftovers. The staff is very helpful if you have any questions. Also, for anyone with peanut allergies, this is safe.

First, I'd like to give a special shoutout to our waitress. She truly made the dining experience…read morememorable. She was funny, a little sassy, and had a great personality that made us feel right at home. Be prepared for a crowd! We visited on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was very busy and quite loud. We had about a 20-minute wait at 5:00 PM, so I can only imagine how packed it gets around 6:00 or 7:00 PM. For dinner, I ordered the flounder platter with Gouda potatoes and sweet plantains. Everything was excellent--5/5. The Gouda potatoes were especially delicious, and the flounder was perfectly crispy without being greasy. My son ordered the crab boil special and cleaned his plate, which says it all. My boyfriend had the fried oyster po' boy, and it was very good as well. Even my little guy ordered the adult portion of fried shrimp and finished every last shrimp and fry. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. We'd definitely come back again!
