I often crave fried fish. Well this spot satisfies that craving. Their menu is basic but exactly what you need from a "seafood spot". Crab legs, shrimp, mussels, crab cakes , fried fish, po' boys, hush puppies, corn and broccoli....what else do you need when it comes to quick seafood....the place is clean, never really busy and they have specials such as a $5 whiting sandwich. I have never complained about their food or service....dont expected to be "wowed" however it satisfies a basic seafood craving. read more

My mother in law is from North Carolina and a big seafood fan, so whenever I drive into Philly she asks me to stop in at Fresh Gulf and pick up a fried fish plate for her. She's tried the whiting and flounder and liked both. $10 gets you a massive serving of fried fish with two sides. She was happy with the cole slaw and potato salad, but didn't like the hush puppies as much (said they were undercooked). Overall a lot of bang for the bucks. read more

A divey place that serves great seafood in South Philly. This hole in a wall is close to my gym, so I usually stop in here to get some high protein seafood kebobs before my work out. I've never tried any of the other items because I'm trying to avoid fry food, but the grilled items are fabulous.

Ooooh y'all know I love me a tasty spot tucked off into the cut. I had a hankerin' for some crab legs, and while I'd normally head for Chickie's and Pete's when in South Philly, I really wanted some good ol' melted butter and garlic, mounds of potatoes, steamed broccoli and the succulence of freshly steamed and seasoned crab legs and shrimp. Thank the Yelp for this joint rightchea. It did not even disappoint. Bare bones store front--there are 'bout three dining tables inside and a couple of stools, but most folks call ahead with their pickup orders. Not I said the blackbird! Sidled myself right into a booth, bibbed myself up with a napkin and went. to. werk. Some have called it divey or a hole in the wall but those are just the sorts of places I j'adore the most. Service is expedient and perfunctory. The lovely quiet ladies helming the joint are exceedingly kind, quick and gracious. Prices are quite reasonable considering the amount of food and its quality and freshness. But that food though ... Bountiful, fresh and duh-licious. My Dungeness and steamed shrimp came in a ginormous aluminum platter with fresh potatoes, broccoli and corn on the cob--everything seasoned to perfection at just the right temperature. I'm not in the territory often, but I can happily say it's worth the diversion. read more

Small, but quaint. Only two seating booths and a bar stool seating. I ordered the snow crab and shrimp steamed special for about $21. It's a good portion for two people and it comes with potatoes, broccoli, and one corn. The seasoning isn't too overpowering, and there's a nice bed of butter at the bottom of the tray to soak the seafood while you eat. They also sell small snacks and chips. Will definitely come again. read more

I decided to get steam platter 1 which is the snow crabs with shrimps and my boyfriend got the steam platter 2 with dungeoness crabs and shrimps . I was so excited to get home and eat it. I feel that the portion is good for two person if you're not that hungry but if you're hungry it's only for one person. Prices is a little cheaper than ons and son but I think the crabs are small . I feel that it needed more seasoning and there were no garlic in my butter . Whatsoever so very little flavor. It's not as good as ons and son . read more

New to the area & I've been curious about this place so decided to try it. TOTALLY worth it!! I definitely will be returning to try the rest of the menu. I ordered the flounder fish platter and I'm pleased to say the portions were generous and the price was reasonable. The fish tasted extra fresh like it jumped out the water & into the fryer. And contrary to what the other reviewer stated, it's NOT a hole in the wall! When you walk in it not only looks clean, but it smells clean. You can't even smell the food cooking. There is nothing negative about the store and I look forward to trying it again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UPDATE: Have ordered from here 3x's since my initial order & I'm happy to say that the quality of their food is consistent! read more

I ordered the Whiting Fish sandwich, fries and coleslaw. Sadly, I was disappointed with this meal. The fish was overcooked, dry and didn't taste fresh at all. I suspect the fish was frozen. The fish also lacked any type of seasoning. The fries were bad too. No seasoning and they tasted old/stale. They definitely weren't fresh either. How do you mess up fries? The coleslaw was warm (yes warm), which gave me pause. I tasted a bit and threw it out immediately. The warm temperature and bland flavor did it for me. I also didn't want to get sick. I will not be back for another meal at this establishment. I'm honestly shocked at the 4 star rating for this place. In my opinion, it's barely 2 stars. read more

I was looking for place to grab a late bite, ordered pick-up and caught them right before they were closing. When I got there, the location wasn't exactly what I was expecting, hole-in-the-wall mini plaza spot, but when I got home and tried the fried fish po-boy... WoW. I grew-up outside of Boston and for some reason it reminded me of food growing up. I couldn't think of why at first, but when I thought about it, I realized it was the taste of really fresh fish! It's always a nice feeling to try a new spot and have it surprise you by reminding you what you've been missing.

We walked to the restaurant during the purported "heat dome" weekend. Fortunately, the air conditioning is pristine. We sat at the oyster bar and recommend you do so too. Our waiter was great. We should have caught his name but didn't. Either way, he was a real one. P spotted some absolute babe across the bar and asked our waiter what she was drinking. Important side note: attractive people dine here, but not in an intimidating way if you're a normie. Turns out it was a mocktail from the Zero Proof menu. We don't judge. Our waiter then turned us on to an OG move: order a mocktail and add booze. P got the Pink Drink and added vodka. J ordered a Bee's Knees and a Firing Squad. All above average. Anyway, we created an oyster flight and got two of each, working our way across the Eastern Seaboard. The house sauce was fantastic and incorporated some sort of onion and horseradish combination. We don't pretend to understand what that sorcery was, but keep doing it. Create your own GD oyster flight. You won't regret it. We also ordered some shrimp cocktail and shared the lobster roll sandwich. We forgot to take pics, but the generic photo attached is actually how it looks. Not a bad bite. This was the perfect amount of food for two hungover people who took IR Adderall before the walk. We lingered for a while and they don't push you out. Ended up ordering a couple IPAs. They started shucking oysters to prepare for the dinner crowd, which is neat to watch when you're on the spectrum like us. Also, the walls are covered in different oyster plates.

The floors were really sticky for some reason. The food was fine, nothing stood out to us but nothing was bad.

first time in this place & I have to admit its pretty damn good. The crab cake has 100% crab meat in then (no fillers) & are one of the best items on the menu. Good portion they give you when you order the scallop platter. Over all I give this place an A+ . Plus the cashiers is Hot. read more

The po-boys are real authentic as the bread is from New Orleans, Leidenheimer Baking co. I overheard a customer say that taste better than when he had it when he visited N.O. Great place to enjoy seafood. read more

Spacious and clean! On my most recent visit, we were immediately seated, and shortly after, a server came by to take our order. They provide gloves, an apron, hand wipes, and plastic utensils. I ordered the half-pound mild garlic butter seafood boil with shrimp (without the head), which came with potatoes and corn, and I added sausages. The seafood boil is always tasty. Yummy! I had a cosmo (wasn't strong, but a cute drink to sip while I devoured my seafood boil). Definitely a good spot for seafood boil lovers!

Having spent most of my life here, a few familiar joys always come to mind. Now, I'll admit--shopping for fish wouldn't usually make that list. But Giuseppe's Market inside Samuels & Son has changed that entirely. This place is an absolute standout. The seafood selection is unmatched--ultra-fresh, incredibly diverse, and always beautifully displayed. But even more impressive than the product is the people. The team behind the counter is among the most professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and all-around kind folks you'll ever encounter in a market. They're the kind of people who take pride in what they do and make you feel genuinely welcome every time you stop by. If you're not already shopping at Giuseppe's, let me just say--you're missing out. It's a hidden gem tucked inside a working seafood distribution hub, and it deserves your appreciation. John, the manager, is a master of hospitality and seems to make instant friends with just about everyone. The rest of the crew? Just as fantastic. Three words: Buy. Fish. Here. You'll be glad you did.

Parking: tight. They have a little parking lot but that was filled. You can park on the street. They have a walk up window. I gave my number and was told my order would be up. It took more than 30 minutes. I ordered $5 crabs and had them sautéed. There's an extra charge. They came with a sauce. I ordered Buffalo butter. You can order whole crabs. The crabs were ok. They were meaty but I was looking for this great flavor and it wasn't there. I ordered a side of cajun seafood. Omg!! Omg!!!! There was too much cajun seasoning. I could not eat it. Overall I wasn't totally happy with the crabs. I'm not sure what all of the hype was about. I may go back to get whole crabs and make a sauce of my own.

So I walked in wit my best friend who works for Legal Seafoods to give him a heads up that we have access to fresh available seafood in our neighborhood and we were greeted as soon as we walked on and waited on to make our orders. We ordered one if there 1lb snow crab cluster platters and one 2lb green mussel platter w/ 1lb extra large shrimp and both platters were definitely piled wit broccoli two pieces of corn and corn on the cob and red skin potatoes drenched in the most lusciously made garlic butter. I was so excited bout my purchase I couldn't help but to walk down to the conveniently placed Wine and Spirits store to pair our food wit our favorite bottled wines like Sutter Home White Zinfandel. I want to incouragement this business to post there menu and pics of what they prepare like I did today before I feasted on this most delicious buy. So please check them out its definitely worth it.
