I will give an overview of the good , and the bad. The Good- I've tried their salmon, cod, and canned crab. All very good tasting seafood at a fair price The Bad- I won't lie, the smell of the shop is bad, I mean the first time I went in I couldn't stand it....but if you can over look that...the seafood is great. Also the location is not ideal....the parking lot is very small and it's near a terrible intersection. But if you don't mind all those things then this is a great shop for local seafood ! read more

This is a small seafood market but has a good selection of fresh seafood. My mom lives in the area and comes here often to buy fresh seafood. She and I have bought brim, oysters, crab and shrimp. On our most recent trip it was local shrimp to make a gumbo. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, prices are decent and the selection good. There's always a line of people looking for the freshest selection at opening , which says a lot about the market. If I lived here, this would be my go-to seafood market. read more

There was a huge selection of fresh fish and shrimp! Staff was helpful and they clean the whole fish for you - free!

You can always tell of a popular and high-quality seafood market by the smell when you walk in. Such as the case with H&J Seafood in Goose Creek. To be honest I wasn't hunting for fresh fish, rather I was making Jambalaya and I was craving Boudin to go with it. I called ahead to make sure they had some and the employee was very nice and while they offer many varieties, I wanted pork and rice. They took my name on Friday ensuring it would be available on Monday, which it was. Upon entering the none assuming establishment which I wasn't anticipating it in a strip mall, not that it's an issue as it's a safe area, but I was expecting a free standing establishment for some reason. The two people in there were very nice and quick to greet me. It took a minute for my eyes to lift up from the display case stuffed full of a plethora of seafood. To be honest I last lived in Charleston in 2000 and spent the rest of my life in Kansas City and Austin. Fresh seafood, especially from a dedicate monger was hard to find so it was a reestablishing my roots. H&J has not only the freshest seafood available this far inland, but plenty of cooking accessories including spices, sauces and accompaniments for all your needs. Back to the display case, blue shell crabs, oysters, clams, shrimp, scallops and more fish than I can label were all wonderfully presented as if it was a snapshot in time of the best they had to offer. If only my menu had planned for this, I would have indulged in breaking my wallet. Alas, I told the nice young lady I was the guy who called in the boudin, which she indicated to look behind me. In the free-standing fridges, I grabbed my prize while I pondered some of their other bounty. Focus...I had to maintain focus! To give a short review on the boudin, it sucked. This is a subjective point, one that I compare with many other versions I've gotten from Louisiana companies that specialize in Cajun Boudin. First there was some off-putting spice in it one that struck me odd. I texture was ok but I didn't like it. Again, I don't hold this against H&J b/c first it's a subjective matter and second it was packaged and shipped in. To wrap up, I've found my fish monger and I will be going back. I know writing a review of a seafood market while only purchasing a pork product seems disingenuous, I grew up in Charleston and was a chef, one can "smell out" frauds and this isn't a subpar place. The people are nice, the seafood fresh and the quality is the best you get unless you know someone with a boat. Drop on by if you need any sort of seafood products! read more

Unwelcoming. Cultural prejudice . Made/paid our order at the counter short after 11am. Yet after all the customers were finished , served out back, assisted too. she only pointed "you were helped" my family being the last was served. Front desk mistreatment Thank you to the men in the back who prepared and served the food. read more

Went back there and I called ahead. They assured me that the crab were fresh and they sure were! Back to the good crabs!!

I bought 1/2 bushel of clusters today! Worst oysters I've ever had. Person waiting on me was eating right where they were serving raw seafood. Never washed hands when she put on gloves. read more

The previous owner ( she moved to Canada, I think) and her assistant Jake were always immaculate, honest, and friendly. Unfortunately, the new owners seem more focused on swindling repeat customers. They act like they're running a beauty salon rather than a fish market, and their attitude reflects that. As for their prices? They're higher than Whole Foods Pay attention at business hours. Opening at Noon? When lunch is supposed to be ready? Nah ! I pass... read more

Incredible experience! This is the perfect spot to find an array of fresh, locally sourced seafood. The quality is exceptional, and the variety available truly reflects the local variety. read more

Always speedy and friendly service. Never a bad experience also. They welcome you like family. I love it

unfortunately all the crabs bought are small, not large as advertised. Very disappointed.

Dishonest daughter , she found a way to rob me . I ordered a bucket of oysters, which normally is about 20 pcs , with a slight of hand she got me exactly 6 pcs , they were the size of a cantaloupe each, unmanageable and most likely inedible. read more

First experience with the seafood place not the best. My neighbors and I ordered a 90 pound bushel and two other bushels on December 8 for New Year's Eve. I have attached the receipt. Went to pick them up around 3 o'clock and they were sold out of oysters. Their response was we were too late Even though we had pre-paid and pre-ordered oysters for that night.. They did not honor our preorder. We called earlier in the day to confirm time we will be there to pick them up. Refund was issued but Considering we had about 30 people over for New Year's and zero oysters did not make me happy at all with their response. They seem to not even care that they did not honor our pre-order. Pretty much didn't even really care at all I guess because they were able to sell out of oysters for the day. So I am not recommending them to anybody because they don't honor pre-orders and pretty much not dependable and not customer friendly either. They didn't want to make anything right or acknowledge they were in the wrong. First time in 12 yrs we have not had oysters for our News Years block party. read more

I've gotten a total of around 6 dozen male blue crabs from here on various occasions and I have to say they are pretty large and dense with meat. Quality of the crab they provide is very good compared to surrounding seafood markets and the prices are pretty decent too. Definitely worth checking out if you want fresh seafood in Goose Creek read more

Super helpful staff! It's out of my way but totally worth the drive. Some say their prices are higher than other seafood markets, that may be true but I always know I'm getting quality products which is worth the $. I'll pay extra knowing I'm not going to be spending the next day praying to the porcelain throne. read more

Found this place on Yelp and stopped by on our way home to the mountains. Quick efficient and quite the selection! Don't let the exterior fool you (and it can be easy to miss on the road), this place was busy!! read more

Extremely disappointed when I saw the price of crabs. Come to find out they are under new ownership. The previous owners would get crabs from Fla and NC to keep the prices down. I would go to this place 8 to 10 times a year. I will not go anymore. Found out they call other places to find out what they are charging and charge the same instead of pricing them with the cost of what they cost them to catch or buy. read more

Great little fish market, with good prices. Huge selection that other grocers can't beat.
