We picked this location to eat because of all the good reviews. We were not disappointed. Our party of 4 all ordered different entrees, and every one of them was fresh and delicious, including the side items. Fried Calabash shrimp, grilled grouper bites, crab cake, and fried whiting. Sides of fresh cut fries, fried okra, sweet potato fries, cole slaw, hush puppies, etc. all really good. The building is nothing fancy, but neat and clean. The owner cooked and brought out our meals, and was very friendly. Will be back! read more

My family went here while on vacation. Looks can be deceiving when looking from outside. However excellent service and even better food!!!!

Jeremy went out of his way to make sure I had outstanding service product was incredible

I went in because of the great name but I'm coming back because of the high quality food. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere as I walked in. Enjoyed sitting down and enjoy being waiting on. Everything seemed to be homemade. From the hush puppies and secret ingredients in the butter to the fried flounder, shrimp and blackened snapper. By far the best seafood we have eaten at the beach. Must try! read more

Nice find! Decided to drop in after driving by many times. Had a craving for shrimp and we were not disappointed. Friendly service and the food was fabulous. Ordered the shrimp and oysters. Both were cooked to perfection. Breaded just right and not over cooked. Nice that you can also purchase refresh seafood on their market. Give it a try. We'll definitely return. read more

Awesome fresh fish, lots of options and some great home made banana pudding! Good luck guys see you next year.

Fish was good but don't go for ambience or the seafood bucket. The bucket was lacking in flavor. The restaurant itself was better for takeout. read more

Don't waste your time at an overpriced, low quality seafood buffet. Super fresh, delicious seafood, great prices and homemade sides. Kids even woofed down every bite. Lovely staff running everything as well. Never thought we'd find such a yummy place in the heart of myrtle. It's not a huge place nor super attractive inside but all of that doesn't matter once you take your first bite. read more

We went to this delightful place because of the previous reviews. It is unassuming but clean. We ordered and paid at the counter and sat down. Very shortly Angie brought ice water and the most delicious hush puppies I've ever had! They were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy inside six hush puppies and two containers of citrus honey butter wow it was spectacular! We ordered one dinner of flounder with french fries and fried okra it was plenty for two of us to share 4 big pieces of fish. You can get the fish fried, broiled or blackened. The dinner comes with two sides of your choice. The choices are great also! Mr. Ricky the chef does a fabulous job butchering and then preparing the fish. You can purchase fresh fish and seafood here also to take home and prepare yourself. I would give it 10 stars if it were possible! Go you won't regret it! read more

New menu. Food was really good. The crab cake was fabulous. A small place with big food. read more

Flew into Myrtle Beach and this was close to airport. Good fresh food and service were great!!! Highly recommend.

What a hidden gem! Fresh fish with amazing sides. Hushpuppies, fried green tomato, coke slaw, and let me say, loved the sweet potato fries. Crab cakes and fried grouper were perfect! Met Tiffany, wonderful cook and very personable! Can't beat this simple seafood market , nothing fancy, but great seafood!!! read more

Came upon this restaurant unexpectedly. I don't know what they batter the sweet potato fries or green tomatoes with but IT WAS AMAZING! My GF said the same. We didn't get a chance to finish our meals before traveling back home. I texted her that I wish we were still in the area bc I'd love to go back. Of course we gobbled it up b4 taking a picture. I had the fried flounder, hush puppies. She had crab and fried catfish. Yum. Will definitely patronize on my next visit. read more

Absolutely great food and feel at home staff!!! None of the glitz of the tourist trap places, this is a local gem that focuses on the best and freshest seafood there is! Cooked to order!!! read more

Wow! So delicious. So glad we stumbled upon this place. Flounder, shrimp, scallops and fried oysters were amazing. Collards, okra, Mac n cheese and fried green tomatoes were all wonderful! We'll definitely be back. read more

My wife and I read good things on Yelp and decided to give Cackalacky Fish a try. WOW. What a great meal. We split a platter of grouper, scallops, shrimp, okra, slaw, and sweet potato fries. This was the best seafood we have ever had in the Myrtle Beach area - or anywhere for that matter. We had the opportunity to speak to the owner and tell him how pleased we were with our meal. A very nice guy! We appreciated his friendliness and conversation. We highly recommend this restaurant and we will visit again before our vacation is over this week. read more

Absolutely the best local seafood and did I mention all homemade sides. Collard greens better than your grandma's. Nothing fancy, just the best seafood and friendly folks. Highly recommended 10 star read more

New place opened up near me and I've been wanting to try them for a while. Walked into a clean restaurant that had people out front working on some stuff on the sign making it look better curb appeal is important. Went in the place is clean, neatly decorated, they've got custom artwork painted on the walls, and under their counter. looks like a local artist may have done it. The staff were attentive, friendly and informative, helped guide me through the menu. They have local shrimp today!!! so of course that's what I got. After a normal wait time, I got a freshly prepared, good-sized portions delicious meal. The coleslaw was perfection I know I'm leading with coleslaw, but it was perfection! The shrimp were fantastic the breading stayed on from start to finish! ( if you're breading falls off your shrimp or any fried food something's wrong) the breading was perfect here! I also got the home-cut fries, they were good, I'm not a carb person. It came with cocktail sauce and a remoulade that was delicious. It was served for plastic utensils but the fork was good for it was not flimsy and weak. I noticed that the beverage cup was a biodegradable cup made out of corn, every little bit of plastic kept out of a landfill is a good thing. They're also a fresh seafood market and some fresh produce I saw watermelons, as well as a great selection of sauce, jams, jellies, seafood breading, spices, lots of fun stuff. I forget this becoming a popular spot with locals especially when they discover that there's somewhere to go on this end of town that's a fresh seafood market and you can get your food cooked either the restaurant or take it home with you. read more

This is a fresh seafood market that is also a small restaurant. Your food order is taken at the counter when you walk in. When we arrived, there was only one other customer at the counter and our order was taken quickly and our food was delivered to our table within about 10 to 15 minutes. They have a good selection of seafood and several sides to choose from. We ordered fried oysters and fried shrimp plates that came with two sides as well as hush puppies. We had cole slaw, red rice, sweet potato fries and mac n cheese. The seafood was fresh and prepared nicely; sides were good as well. The menu included desserts; however, we did not eat any (too full from the generous servings of our entrees). Prices were reasonable also. read more

The hours are limited, but don't give up and make sure you get there when they're open. You order at the counter and seat yourself, nothing fancy but the food makes up for it. We shared the cackalacky seafood platter which was delicious. The scallops were out of this world! You pick two sides, we has sweet potato fries and collard greens, both very tasty. The platter was just the right amount for two people and still enough to take some home. We have added them to our return to list and my mouth is watering already while writing this. A shout out to the guys who were working Thursday night, March 9th. They were working two people short and still provided us with a great experience. read more

best seafood i have had in years would go here everyday of the week if possible!!! service amazing! go and get a plate you will not be disappointed read more

Don't go for the ambiance. Go for the food. Got the special (fried haddock and shrimp). It was very good. Wife got blackened catfish. She like it as well. Hush puppies were hot and very tasty. Staff was very friendly. read more

This place is an absolute gem. First we took out blue crab and steamed shrimp. We had these for lunch. Unbelievably good. I was surprised how easy it is to eat blue crab. Just breaks apart in your fingers. YouTube how to eat it. Because there's so much good meat inside. The shrimp were top quality fresh. And I know I'm a culinary institute of America trained chef. Then we went for dinner. We're adventurous so we got a couple of local favorites. Fried spot and croaker. These were two of the best fish I've had in a long time. If you are a little less adventurous they have plenty of choices that don't involve the joy of picking through Bones. To say the prices are reasonable is an understatement. If anything I would recommend they raise their prices for what you get. The sides are also unbelievable ranging from fresh cut french fries to fried okra, incredible coleslaw. Also the hush puppies that come with the meal are the best I've ever had. FYI don't miss out on the side of crabcakes. When you break them apart you can just see huge pieces of crab inside. To sum it up if you are looking for an inexpensive meal that will blow you away try this place. Can't wait till we come back next year to go there again. Also the host and hostess are just wonderful people make sure you say hello. read more

We ate here for the 1st time today. All the seafood seems to be very fresh. I had the catfish plate and my husband had the tilapia and oyster plate. My catfish, which consisted of 2 fillets (my choice was one blackened and the other fried) was extremely thick which I was unaccustomed to but still enjoyed. The blackened flavor was perfect. My sides were french fries and cole slaw, also very tasty. My husband had macaroni and cheese and cole slaw. His fried oysters were some of the best we've had here (he was kind and gave me one). This is a new restaurant which is just getting started here. Prices are comparable to the area. Tiffany waited on us with speed and accuracy. The chef came out to greet us and to ensure all was to our liking. We would highly recommend this new restaurant and hope that other people find it quickly. read more

My wife and I are in town for a couple of days and wanted some REAL SEAFOOD that was reasonably priced for dinner. We found it at Cackalacky Fish Co. We have eaten in A LOT of so called seafood restaurants at all sorts of prices. Believe me, they serve THE BEST FRESH SEAFOOD that I have eaten in decades. I ordered steamed shrimp with a crab cake and my wife had fried cod (which she shared with me). Besides great taste, the portions were generous and the shrimp were quite large. The cod was simply outstanding and the crab cake was substantial AND HAD A LOT OF CRAB; not "filler"! Not only are they a restaurant and do carry out, they are a seafood market as well. Trust me, you will not be disappointed! read more

My brother and I are visiting from the Dallas area and stopped in here for dinner before a show. We did not know what to expect. We were surprised to say the least. We both ordered grilled snapper. He got coleslaw and sweet potato fries with his meal and I got green beans and collard greens. The snapper was seasoned and prepared perfectly. It is rare for us to get good fresh fish where we live. So many of the offerings in the Dallas area are related to catfish and fried. It was so good. All of the sides were great as well. Everything was well seasoned. The sweet potato fries were maybe the best my brother had. They had a slight batter on them and were crispy on the outside and soft inside. We also got their crab balls. Very good and did not need any sauce with them. We would definitely be eating here on the regular if we lived here. Great people too. Go here for a great no frills seafood meal. Trust me, they do not need any show or glitter as their food speaks for itself. read more

Ehh. I had better while in town. It was pretty pricey and the staff weren't the friendliest. While the shrimp we ordered was fairly good, it definitely lacked the flavor we were after. read more

Food was delicious. Fresh fish and shrimps. Shrimps good sized and batter was on point. Fast and friendly service. Quaint.

Our go to for fresh seafood cooked just right, not overly breaded and great side dishes. Really the only place that has never disappointed on our visits to the beach, great value as well. read more

The best seafood ever! Tasty and plenty.. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

We arrived mid afternoon about 3:00 and stood at the counter nearly ten minutes before someone took our order. After sitting at our table for another ten minutes we overheard the waitress tell another table that the cook had walked out. We got our food about 3:45. Calabash shrimp. I asked for sweet potato fries but only got about six the rest were regular fries. The shrimp and hush puppies were very greasy! read more

I had the crab cake sandwich and my husband had the special of the day. Both were delicious. We even tried a side of the Okra and it was yummy. Everything is homemade and the fish is fresh. read more
