    The prices were good and the service was fast. Small place with lots of seating. The fish was crispy and hot. Not a lot of seasoning but other wise good. The prices are average.

    Had to update my review ... Okay so the first time I went here during a weekday I was so excited and was super impressed by pretty much everything that I kept bragging about it so much my dad eventually wanted to go. Well we took him on a Friday evening and as we're ordering we asked if we could get tartar sauce with our meal but the lady informs us they didn't have any ... pause ... how are you going to run out of tarter sauce at a FISH PLACE on a FRIDAY!!!! My dad said when she said that he knew it wasn't going to be good ... so we go to sit down as we wait for our food and I go use the restroom. As I go to wash my hands there's no soap or any paper towels. Literally the soap dispenser was gone ... so then that made me raise an eyebrow on the hygiene of the employees. So I come out of the bathroom and go to sit when the lady at the register (who was nice and was trying her best despite seeming tired and busy) calls me up and informs me they ran out of chicken (my husband ordered a chicken sandwich). At this point I was ready to honestly just ask for a refund but we just stuck it out. When we get our food it was okay, but I think in our minds because of everything prior it affected the taste of the food. I definitely won't be back here for a while which sucks because I was so excited about it the first time but I'm learning not to brag on places until I've eaten there at least 3 times.

    Can't believe I've been working in this neighborhood and just found Skrimp Shack. Went with a coworker and decided to split the Oyster Po Boy and The Big Cat. Big Cat was a winner, a huge sandwich piled with fresh fried catfish, cheese, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. Po Boy a little underwhelming but still good. Both came with fried okra and a spicy dipping sauce. Derrick who took our order was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely return here if craving a fish sandwich.

    The best seafood and the best customer service. Best fried shrimp I ever ate. Even the iced tea is great! Reasonable pricing.

    Listen! My hair stylist referred me and when I say they did not disappoint!!! Baby!!! The food was tasty and piping HOT! I couldn't eat much but if I were a person with a big tummy...nom nom would be the answer! The ambiance was nice and chill...very southern and I adore it so so much! Thank you for such warm regards and attention to your customers!

    These were super good! I asked for them extra extra crispy, and this is what I got. I'll visit these folks for shrimp in Durham.....bc they were really good, but I don't think they understood the assignment. The service was really good, and the manager came around a few times to make sure everything was great. This is the best shrimp I've eaten in a while. The fries were crispy and tasty. The slaw wasn't the greatest to me, but the coworker I was with ate all of it. It was a great basket for a great price.

    A good place for reasonably priced seafood. Really enjoyed how the fried taste wasn't too strong and balanced well with the light taste of the seafood. Definitely recommend if you're into fried seafood!

    We walked in, ordered, sat down and the food was ready within 10 minutes! The food, environment and service were phenomenal. Very friendly staff! Will definitely be returning!

    This is the best fish restaurant in a 2000 mile radius of Durham NC. If you haven't tried their fish, then you haven't had the most amazing fried fish in the world.

    Supposed to be Catfish.

    We had dinner here for our 25th anniversary on the way to the Lenovo Center for a Hurricane's game…read more The restaurant was freezing, so we sat outside. The service was excellent, made even better by the fact that she was so excited we were going to a hockey game. The food was fantastic, perfectly prepared and came quickly. I had the Irish Philly, my wife got the ghost cheese salad (hilarious because she picked the place because she wanted fish n chips). We both really enjoyed the meal. Definitely want to come back and try more dishes.

    I stopped by Doherty's for their St. Patrick's Day event, which has become a tradition because…read morehonestly what else are you going to do on St patty's day. They blocked off part of the parking lot, had live music going, and the whole place had that fun, lively energy you want on a holiday like this. Because of the crowd, the menu was trimmed down to the more popular items, but it still had plenty of good options. I ended up getting their Irish eggrolls, they're hand‑rolled and stuffed with house‑cured corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese, then sliced and served with their Thousand Island dressing. Basically, it's all the flavors of a Reuben wrapped up in a crispy shell, simple, rich, and exactly the kind of thing that works well at an event like this because its quick and its finger food you can eat while watching the band,. Overall, the atmosphere was great, parking is such a hassle though during these events on the weekend because H-Mart nearby is already so packed. You can park on the other side of the building if you don't mind a brief walk though.
