    lb of catfish

    My mother ordered a pound of catfish and this is what came. The food is hot and fresh but for what we are paying we should get more than scraps....Its kind of bad that an establishment would give this to their customers as a lb.

    They are way to high and the servings are children sized. Even wawa give you a twelve inch sub and this place a 8 inch. We ordered 2 subs and c a me with drinks 48.00 dollars. This is the size of macaroni don't waste your money if you hungry. This is taste testing, only sample sizes. So disappointed . Back too WaWa.

    A coworker of my husband's recommended this eatery, and even though I frequent Washington Square Shopping Center I had never seen it. We went on Sunday at noon and found a more elderly crowd, well, in our 60's age range plus. I'm sure the demographic may be different on any other day than Super Bowl Sunday. Just outside the door was a sign for a $9.99 basket that immediately interested us. When we entered we found a large chalk board with an extensive menu of very reasonably priced items. The menu included kids' meals, sides, sandwiches, and many seafood offerings. Most are offered grilled or fried. My husband and I ordered the $9.99 fish and shrimp basket, fried, with mac n cheese side for me, a 50 cent upcharge, and the cole slaw for husband, also an upcharge. He had heard the slaw was good, and reported it to be sweet and just ok. The mac n cheese was made with pasta shells and creamy cheese which I found tasty. The accompanying hush puppies were ok, but my husband said they were good. Now the fish was a buttery, flaky, tasty catfish. We both loved it. The shrimp was a nice medium size and tasty as well. Everything was served hot. The food is brought to the table and you bus it yourself. The unsweet tea was very good and my husband got lemonade. There is a good selection of fountain drinks. The restaurant and rest room were clean. It didn't take long to get the food and the server brought various sauces. On the table is bottles of other condiments and napkins. Plastic dinnerware was adequate for the weight of the food. I really enjoyed the food and the reasonable price! The location and hours are also very good as they are open daily for lunch and dinner. I hope to introduce family and friends very soon!

    "CATFISH,sutchi"  Sutchi is NOT Catfish per the USDA & FDA. Its an Asian fish from Vietnam passed off as many different types of fish.

    Something is Fishy at Bubba's. I like Catfish. I try to find catfish on the menu when we go out to seafood restaurants. While ordering at this Bubba's, I noticed that next to the word Catfish on the menu was this very small writing. It said "Sutchi". So, I asked the young man at the counter what Sutchi was. I was told that it was a "more tender Catfish". I asked why it was written so small, but he couldn't answer that. I also noted that every place on the menu Catfish was mentioned, "sutchi" was noted in the same small writing. Well, I ordered it anyway and sat down and waited for my meal. Being the normal iPhone toting human I am, I started googling Sutchi and came up with all kinds of fun facts. Such as Sutchi (also known as Swai) is a freshwater fish native to rivers in Vietnam. How it may contain nasty chemicals, bacteria and antibiotics, AND that restaurants in the USA cannot label/serve Sutchi as Catfish. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has regulations that require restaurants to label their food accurately. This means that if a restaurant is serving Sutchi, they must label it as such. They cannot call it Catfish, or any other type of fish that it is not. There were also warnings about restaurants substituting it for Catfish (and red snapper, sea bass & mahi-mahi). because it cost about 1/4 the cost of real US caught/raised Channel Catfish. So, I don't know if Bubba thinks they're getting around some regulation by adding "sutchi" in small letters next to CATFISH, but I'm guessing that's against the FDA regulations, because clearly, they are trying to fool us into thinking it's Catfish. They got me. My order arrived and I took a few bites of the Sutchi. It was tender, but also tasteless. My wife got the shrimp. Well, we think it was shrimp!

    Straight up delicious fried fish house! Clean, quick and satisfying. I tried the fried captains basket so that I can taste a little bit of everything. The platter came with flounder (looked like baby flounder), scallops, oysters, shrimp, and two sides. The good. Everything was cooked perfectly with the shrimp tender, nicely done flounder, scallops on point and some of the better fried oysters I've had in town. They were large plump and juicy! I was not expecting such a well prepared meal, the breading was light and allowed the flavor of the food to come through! The sides were basic choices; I felt adventurous and tried the coleslaw, fries and hush puppies, lol. The hush puppies are delightfully light and sweet and better of the three. I will come back and try other sides and maybe a specific plate. Not a date night location, but it will satisfy a craving! Highly recommend this spot for sure!

    Grabbed a to go order on Saturday evening. The baskets are the easy go-to there. We ordered a crab cake basket and a shrimp basket. We got sweet potato fries and Cole slaw for our sides. I was not a fan of the fries which were done waffle style as they seemed fry and burnt in a lot of them. The Cole slaw was fresh and delicious. I definitely would have gotten the shrimp basket over the crab cake one I got. The cake was too dry for my liking. The restaurant is clean if you dine in and there's ample parking in the lot outside.

    Fried flounder, fried shrimp, fries, green beans, and hushpuppies. Added a drink... $18

    First time here. There is a big chalkboard menu so that you can see the different options and combinations. I got the Flounder with shrimp. It came with two sides. I got fries and green beans. It also comes with 2 hushpuppies. It did not include a drink. You pick your cup up buy the drinks and are able to choose from soda, water, and fresh tea (sweet and unsweet). My total was $18 and some change which I think is pretty high a single meal. My fish was extremely salty, it tasted like they put too much seasoning salt. A friend of mine goes here frequently and she said it is not usually that salty. I would not the price was definitely too high to bring my family. Apparently you can get the shrimp steamed but everything else seems to be fried so it is definitely out of my wheelhouse of food choices. So if you want some fresh fried food give this place a try. Just make sure that you know it is going to cost a little more.

    Captains Basket, sub for extra flounder. Came with Mac and fries $20 worth it.

    I walked in to order takeout. I was greeted with a friendly smile. It was my first time there and had questions, the lady taking my order was patient and answered all of my questions. The food took about ten minutes, I ordered the captain's basket with fries and Mac. The meal was about $20, it came with catfish, flounder shrimp and maybe fried oysters or clams (I subbed them for extra flounder-no extra charge).

    One visit to Bubba's and it will become your default seafood restaurant. The food is better than its Gloucester location.

    It took us 10 months to purchase some seafood from Captain Harrells, but we did it today! I wanted…read moreto pick a time that it was not crazy crowded. I wanted time to read the board and learn how they are operating due to covid. I loved their set up. You pull up, park and get out of your car to look at the whiteboard menu closer. Once you know what you would like, head to the door and knock. Someone will open the door and take your order. So simple! TIP: CASH AND CHECK ONLY! Today I had a sweet lady take my order and package it all up. She wore a mask the entire time, as so did we. She was helpful at showing us what a deviled crab looked like, and help explain other items. I really appreciate that she took the time to do that. It makes me want to come back and purchase more when businesses do that. There was also an older gentleman inside enjoying a crab cake sandwich. He had the biggest sweetest smile ever. He was a happy a can be with that sandwich, and I was definitely jealous! The crab cakes were delicious. I'm making something with the meat on Friday. Just not sure what yet. Another little bit of information, they have a restaurant that opened a few months ago. They have good food! It is just down the street near the Food Lion.

    Ordered 3 pounds of medium, peeled and deveined shrimp. They were prepared perfectly and tasted…read moregreat. Definitely order from them again.
