I had a very disappointing experience at Jackie Seafood in Garden City, Savannah. I spent over $200 purchasing what I was told would be fresh brim (bluegill). I specifically asked the gentleman at the counter how many fresh fish were available and made it clear multiple times that I only wanted fresh fish, as I was traveling back to Atlanta. He assured me he could provide what I needed. However, after he went to the back to gather additional fish, a significant portion of my order, at least 8 pounds out of approximately 20, turned out to be old and previously frozen. This was not visible to me at the time of purchase, as the fish was brought from the back and packaged without transparency. It felt deceptive, especially given that I clearly communicated my expectations and the purpose of my purchase. I have attached photos for reference, which further demonstrate the quality concerns with the fish I received. As shown in the images, the fish have cloudy eyes, which is a well-known indication that the fish is not fresh. This experience left me feeling taken advantage of, and it has completely eliminated any desire to return. Trust is critical when purchasing food, especially fresh seafood, and this situation fell far short of basic standards. I'm giving this business one star due to the lack of honesty and quality control. I strongly encourage others to inspect their purchases carefully before leaving. read more

Sometimes I just want a local fried shrimp (and/or fish) plate with some fries, eat it in my car while it's hot, and do so for less than $15. I keep it simple and it hit every time. It's a fish market, so not the type of place to sit and dine. You order by the pound, instruct them to cook it or not, then wait til your number/order is called. For $13, I get half a pound of fried local Georgia shrimp and fries. Can't beat it. Seasoned just enough, fried just right and piping hot. Just miss when their cocktail, tartar, and hot sauce came in the small, clear to-go containers. Now it's just individual packets. The tartar still decent but the cocktail is Kraft. read more

This seafood is always fresh and delicious. The wait is minimum, and if you call ahead, your food is always hot and ready.

Love the fillet fish they taste really good and their French fries big and perfectly salted.

I don't usually hang out in fish markets, but in the case I had a big order so the wait took a little time. No worries though! I could bare being inside the Jackie's Seafood Market without being overwhelmed because there was no fishy smell or the smell of something dead. In fact, I was highly impressed by how clean the place was too. There was a constant revolving door of people coming to retrieve preorders or to create new orders once inside. The flow was handled quickly and efficiently. I wanted to collect a few fish for a later freezer stash that were almost out of the water fresh. I inquired about the frequency of the catch and was told that they receive fresh product twice a week. Well...okay then. Love that part. It was quite obvious that they go through seafood pretty easily with all the foot traffic. The can prepare your order any way you would like including cooking it onsite. This would probably account for the stacks of to-go boxes I witnessed the folks hauling out of the place by the droves. I was pretty happy with my order of several varieties of locally caught fish. Most of all the total was on par with many other places that did not have nearly the selection nor the freshness. When I return to Savannah, I will make sure I also return to Jackie's. read more

Jackie's Seafood Market - Pit stop to a very fresh fish market - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Visiting my son & family, from another state I wanted to cook fish for dinner, Google pulled up Jackie seafood market for me. My experience at this place was not good at all, this incompetent non speaking English man took my order I specifically said DO NOT COOK THE FISH!!!! He then turned around and placed my order as cooked, after I said DO NOT COOK, he even got an attitude with me for something he made an error on!!! American there is just no more good and responsible customer service anymore, no matter where you go in America, these people from other countries just don't CARE and give a rats ass about how to talk and handling customer service issues!!! So sad, people we need to wake up in our communities on how you are being treated when you are spending your currency!!! frommi2nc read more

I love it!! Fresh seafood and cooked hot and delicious I recommend anyone to try it you buy and they will cook it for you ,,if you like, you can't beat that .... read more

I had a taste for a seafood for dinner. However, I wanted take out so I choose Jackie's Seafood Market. I often drive past the restaurant when commuting through the city. So tonight I decided to try Jackie's. The exterior of the business is clean and well lit (lighting). The inside is clean. There is no dinning in. Only a couple stools to sit while waiting on your take out order. The prices are fair and the food taste great. read more

I shouldn't have chosen the 1lb yellow raw shrimp, I should have got the typical gray raw shrimp. Looking back the manager never even asked me which shrimp I wanted he quickly chose the bigger yellow shrimp for me to initially purchase. As I was removing the peels the steamed (they steamed for me) shrimp started to crumble, fall apart, was mushy and had no flavor. It was then I thought about how raw shrimp are actually NOT supposed to be yellow. And then read on the internet how a chemical may have been used on spoiled shrimp to fool customers when raw shrimp are yellow. I quickly took the shrimp back to Jackies for an exchange or refund but the tall, mature older man, the "man in charge" refused to give me a exchange or refund. He claimed the shrimp were fresh, stating the smaller in size raw gray shrimp came from salt water and the larger raw yellow shrimp came from a mix of salt and fresh water. There were zero red colors on the raw yellow shrimp whereas I could clearly see and pointed out to him how the fresh gray shrimp have touches of red markings on the shrimps legs. This no red colors was another indication of the yellowed shrimp not being fresh and having possibly been chemically treated. Also I did read online how farm raised shrimp are yellow and Jackie's may be selling farm raised shrimp as fresh ocean caught shrimp. Still wanting shrimp safe to eat, I again ordered 1/4 lb of the fresher looking gray normal colored raw shrimp w red legs and had the shrimp steamed. But when I offered my card to pay for the second round of shrimp the same man said no charge. So, why didn't he just give me a refund, or an exchange ? But he gave me the 1/4lb of steamed shrimp for free ! ! That's when I became even more suspicious that he knew the first shrimp were actually not fresh as he had claimed. The second test as to the first shrimp not being fresh is my hungry cats at home wouldn't eat the shrimp so I paid $15. for shrimp I had to throw away and couldn't even get my cats to eat. The 1/4lb of shrimp when I peeled them were firm, did not fall apart and were in comparison not at all mushy. However the second batch still had NO shrimp flavor. Not only was I hungry for shrimp but I wanted the second batch to perform my own comparison. After my comparison I feel even more convinced the first batch I paid for were not fresh and were definitely not as fresh as the second batch. I feel I was sold shrimp that were not fresh for top price. I will never go back to Jackie's seafood. Living on the Coast it is possible to find credible fresh shrimp and even stand on the same boat they came in on as you pay for them. read more

Jackie's Seafood Market - These are the SPOILED shrimp from Jackie's seafood located on East Montgomery Xrds in Savannah 31406. Large Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Excellent service on a huge order. The fish and shrimp were all cooked to perfection and at a great price. Thank you so much!!!

Had the calamari combo. Absolutely the worst I've ever had. Rather than the rings and tentacles of smaller squid, the pieces were long chunks of very large and tough squid. So tough that it was just impossible to finish. I've also tried the shrimp combo. The shrimp was okay but the hush puppies were greasy on the outside and raw in the center. Avoid the calamari! read more

Another Savannah cultural experience. Entering the Seafood Market, people were lined in chairs along the wall. There was a line at the register and a few customers at the counter. I asked the person next to me how you place an order and she said it was her first time. Eventually a store clerk asked me what I wanted. They had 5-6 bins of different shrimp. I picked some plump Georgia shrimp that looked great at $12/pound. I wanted to try some fresh fish. There were 23 kinda of fish. Many of them whole. They will filet anything you buy if you want. They will also cook, boil or grill anything you order. I ordered striped bass, filleted, raw so I could freeze it for later use. I got 3 or 4 big size filets out of 1 raw whole fish. There were also tubs of mussels, clams and other shell fish. I decided to save that for a future purchase. Prices seem competitive if not less than grocery stores. I will definitely return and try the cook in store method for carry out. After I cook the fish, I may add to this review. The place is clean and does what you expect a fish market to do! read more

It's not bad. Line moved pretty fast and my food was hot. We ordered Devil Crab, whiting and fried Oyster.

I picked out five large scallops, a spoonful of oysters and a medium sized red snapper. By the time the red snapper was cleaned and fried. It's was chopped up and barely had any meat and over cooked. By the time the five large scallops were cooked they turned into about seven very small scallops and again overcooked and the same with the oysters. It seems the food I pick to be cooked was not what I received. Please be aware!! read more

Seafood is fresh, good pricing. The cooked food is awesome, I order every time I'm in the area. They have several options to choose from on their menu. Fried shrimp is some of the best in Savannah. read more

Jackie's Seafood Market - Shrimp and oysters! - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Ordered Low Country Boil for 6 hungry men. Potatoes under cooked, a little harder than should have been. The shrimp was a little tough, was overcooked. Corn was good and sausage okay. When you have six hungry men and give them a dinner like that you never hear the end of it. All of them have ordered from Jackie's before with satisfaction but this round didn't leave them as happy campers. read more

Good seafood selection, we've always been super satisfied with the shrimp, conch, and more. Family owned small business with long hours, so a good place to go if you don't have time to go to other stores. read more

Was a little nervous because I've seen reviews on Google that this place has horrible customer service and that the employees are rude but after my first experience there, I totally disagreed. Had to pick up a bunch of seafood for a friend's party, I walked in and was asked right away what I needed. Be sure to speak loud enough because with people talking, music in the background and everyone wearing masks it's hard to tell what someone is saying. Also be weary that there are 2 locations within Savannah so when you call to place a pre-order that you're calling the correct place. Other than that, I was in and out within 10 minutes which was awesome. read more

Great prices, a lot of fresh fish choices! fresh shrimp, blue crabs prepared while you wait or take home to cook. Call ahead if you don't have much spare time! read more

One of my absolute favorite places to buy fried seafood, particularly shrimp, are local fresh fish markets. So when I spotted this place while driving around the city of Savannah, I just had to stop. It's a bit of a hole in the wall, but that was just fine with me! You step inside to a surgical bright white interior and the glorious smell of fresh fish. Directly in front of you is the fish display with a nice variety of gills and crustaceans arranged attractively on ice. Featured are 'just caught' Georgia shrimp. If you dont know, many of the gulf shrimp are born in the marshlands off the Georgia Coast and travel using underwater currents for hundreds of miles. After making your selection, a team gets to work cleaning and preparing your meal. I had my one pound order of large shrimp in about 8 minutes. I LOVE the flavor of fresh shrimp and these were fresh-nificent. Perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned! I don't want to overhype them with graphic descriptions of deliciousness, so I'll simply say come see for yourself. I can't imagine any seafood lover not becoming a fan after just one visit. Me... I'm a flat out follower! This will be a 'must stop' for every future visit to this wonderful city. I really like how they completely shelled the shrimp before battering and cooking. The flavor was so fantastic that I couldn't stop eating them. I chose fried, but you can also have them boiled. THE VERDICT Highly recommended. Just be forewarned this is NOT a sit down restaurant! There is no place to eat your meal... Strictly to-go orders only! I'll be back again tomorrow :-) read more

I have been in Savannah visiting since 2-10-20 and I wish that I skipped this fish location. Horrible experience the little man would not even open his mouth to say thank you. I am very particular about where I spend my money and I don't like attitude food. The lady that takes your order was nice and helpful. The food was bland and soft after all that. Yuck read more

The food was fresh and very good. I got croakers and porgies. I also had shrimp. Everything was outstanding. It's all takeout, and not much ambiance but the food was excellent. I was recommended this place was someone on YouTube , and I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Awesome food. One of my favorite when passing through Savannah. Great food at a great price

This is my every Friday spot! I love this place. You can get fresh, frozen and cooked seafood all local. The market is very clean and they have enough staff so that the wait is minimal. The variety is very pleasing, especially the various types of shrimp. I get dozens of well seasoned crab cooked to order. Prices are comparable to other markets sometimes a little cheaper, but I am most impressed by the cleanliness of the market and the availability of my favorites. read more

seafood conch was the worst, chewy undercook and a complete waste of money!

The worst. Bought 3 dozen of live blue crabs, made my famous boild crabs and they were empty. What a waste.

An clean seafood market that also serves food. Since I'm from Atlanta I was determined to eat my body weight in seafood while on the coast, and this place was really great. We got the low country boil and fried shrimp, fried oyster, and fried fish. Everything was great. I'm not a big fan of fried things, but the fried seafood was so well battered and fried perfectly. I cannot attest to the fresh, uncooked seafood that they sell here, but if you are looking for fried seafood, make sure you make a stop here!!! As another reviewer says, this is a takeout-only place and not a place to go and sit down and eat. read more

Great fresh seafood and a good price cooked there or so you can take home and cook. All the food is really good

Meh. If you want deep-fried Asian seafood head here. Adding A bit of Old-Bay to the fryer doesn't make it Southern. Just Fujianese. But reasonable prices if you want cook for a function. read more

Since we frequent Skidaway during the winter, we always make Jackie's our stop of choice for fresh seafood. It's always clean, with great prices! Only thing I would change is how they speak to and treat their Mexican employees. It's disheartening. read more

Out of all of the similar type (Asian) seafood markets in town, this is the only one I would frequent. Overall I find them to be clean, and my food has always been fresh, whether steamed or fried. I have had the conch, steamed shrimp, low country boil, fried shrimp, and fried oysters. Overall I have been satisfied. I just don't like the fact that rarely do I spend less than $25 with them for my self only, and have to pay 25 cents for each additional tarter and cocktail sauce. But all in all they are above decent enough and most times they are courteous. read more

his place is HORRIBLE! They do not season their seafood. I went in to order a dozen of blue crabs. I asked for extra seasoning in the bag. I did not get any seasoning. It was bland and terrible. I called the business to ask for a refund. They said that I should just come back up there and they would remember me. Well, THEY ARE UNETHICAL LIARS. THEY NEVER REFUNDED MY MONEY TO THIS DAY. THEY WERE VERY RUDE. GO TO BOBOS. THIS PLACE FOOD IS BLAND, FROZEN, AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS. read more

This was my first time stopping in at the Montgomery Cross Rd location. I purchased two containers of crab meat and was wondering why the staff kept looking at the bottom of the container. I asked if something was wrong they replied "just looking to see how many cases we have sold". WOW how can they tell that by looking at the bottom of a container. I looked and saw some numbers. I should have of followed my mind and left it there. You guessed it I had one spoiled container and one good one and of course they were closed on Sunday and I couldn't return it boy did this mess up my crab quiche. read more
