Slapfish - Menu - Seafood Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

I've driven past Slap Fish on my trips to HHI for the past decade--was never sure if it was "fast food" or beach seafood shack or what...and while locals either love or hate the place, I was encouraged to give it a chance and it would surprise me. I visited during the last week of February, so definitely "pre-season" and there was no wait (or many patrons) at 6:00 pm. I must confess that I am a New Englander, so we take our seafood pretty seriously; I'm not daft enough to order lobster in SC, when it should be coming from Maine, so I passed over those options, but I was curious to try the "New England Clam Chowder". We also ordered the fried pickles w/ Jersey sauce, an order of the special Jax shrimp (akin to bang bang shrimp), 2 fish sandwiches, a shrimp burrito, and I had an ultimate taco. You order at the counter, grab your utensils and condiments off to the side, along with fountain drinks & iced tea. They sell draft beer, a limited variety of bottled beer, some Truly-type seltzer cans, but I had to have a Mexican Coke, even though it set me back $4.50. Sit in the dining area and the food is delivered to your table. First off: the NE clam chowder was hot and filling, but it was more like a loaded baked potato soup--too viscous (not dairy based), some clam flavor, but too much bacon. I spied some clams, and there was a spicy finish; truthfully, I could not finish it but folks unaware of how it should be wouldn't bat an eye. The fried pickles were large spears in a light, tempura-like batter; the group agreed we'd have liked them cut into smaller bites to make them easier to manage. But tasty. The fish sandwiches were piled high with fresh cod filets, lightly breaded and sitting atop a brioche bun piled with lettuce & tomato, served with seasoned fries (paprika-forward). We got a side of the homemade coleslaw, and everyone agreed it was fresh and delicious. The shrimp burrito took a bit of time to come out after all the other dishes, but it was large and half was taken home to finish later. My ultimate taco was fabulous! It arrived garnished like some sort of fancy-pants entree at a high-end restaurant--a huge surprise and very filling. It lived up to its description requiring two hands to hold it. My favorite of the night was actually the special Jax shrimp, which we added on a whim--shrimp was perfectly breaded & fried, all very plump & juicy. I'd have eaten another order of them if I'd had the room. I believe Slap Fish is worth a visit--perhaps several visits. If you discount the New England clam chowder (get a native in the back to show the cook how to make it!), every piece of fish was fresh and delicious. Again, I'm not sure how Slap Fish measures up in the height of the summer season, but I was pleasantly enlightened on my first visit. read more

One of my favorite spots in the area. Was sad when they closed down the Savannah location. Food is delicious, healthy and fresh. Even with the fast casual dining, as you can see from the picture, the presentation is comparable to an expensive sit down restaurant. Have only been for lunch but this is a great spot. Restaurant has a cool environment with open patios, friendly staff and prompt service. Food took a while to come out but they take their time to craft a work of culinary art which rivals the taste! read more

Slapfish - Lobster roll and Jax shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

A cozy family friendly spot for quick bites. Liked the lobster roll, but rest of the food ordered were not up to mark. Daily specials, hush puppies and shrimp was not okay, taco was served with burnt fish and was too salty. No complaints on the service, very attentive and polite. Definitely the lobster rolls are must try if you are around the area. read more

My wife and I took an extremely short trip to the Savannah/Hilton Head Island area last week to check it out and got super hungry while doing it. We were driving down what I think was the main road through the island when we drive by Slapfish, liked the logo, and decided to come stuff our faces. This place looks like a fast food style restaurant for seafood and I had no issue with that (I did google it and find out both Utah and California also have locations so I probably wouldn't of come here if I knew it was a chain, but it was still good so oh well). The menu has fish n' chips, tacos, burritos, and a bunch of other seafood options to cure any hunger. For me? Well, I saw the giant shrimp burrito when I walked in and knew it was my destiny to inhale that bad boy like a whale eating crustaceans. My eyes definitely underestimated the size of the big shrimp burrito as it was absolutely massive, almost two burritos pretending to be one. It was packed with rice, huge pieces of shrimp, and some sauce that tasted phenomenal. I managed to eat the whole dang burrito (and get a nice slapfish sticker for doing it) and left being as full as I could possibly be. The burrito itself was absolutely delicious and probably one of if not the best shrimp burrito I've ever had. The burrito was also served with some seasoned tortilla chips on the side that I tried a few of and they were really good as well. Overall, Slapfish was an unexpected home run and a place I will absolutely be back to in the future. The food was absolutely delicious while the staff were extremely friendly. The restaurant itself was well decorated for the style it was and I have pretty much no complaints. Five stars for this massive shrimp burrito! read more

Slapfish - Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

This was our first time here. The young lady who waited on us was very helpful. There a is a good gluten free selection. Good, fresh ingredients. I tried the grilled cod and snapper tacos. They recommended 2, but J was only able to finish one. The cole slaw was simple, but paired with tarter sauce. The in house tarter sauce was flavorful, with a hint of dill. There are multiple sauces. Fish and chip were "delicious " and "highly recommended." They use soda water instead of beer, creating a light and fluffy coating. Definitely a good place to come for quick and fresh food. The restaurant is open and airy with a nice cross breeze. There is outdoor seating, too. read more

This was my first visit to Slapfish, perfect meal after a day at the beach. We wanted fish and chips, Slapfish served it up nice, fresh, and crisp! The batter on the fish was light and crispy. If you love hot sauce, they have a hot, hot, hot selection. For the sweeties, they have key lime pie, banana cream cake and some others..., I tried the banana cream cake, it's creamy, moist, and nutty. . Great variety of fish on the menu for everyone in your party! Hospitality is great and the restaurant is clean!!! Slapfish is a winner! read more

Everything on the menu sounded fabulous. Locals picking up orders they called in recommended the lobster roll and lobster taquitos. However, if you are limiting your carbs, head for the salad. This was a great mix of shedded cabbage with a few carrots on primarily a bed of spinach. The shrimp were very good with a citrus sauce. The sauce from the shrimp helped to flavor the salad, so I barely used the dressing (which also had a great flavor). I would definitely return. read more

This is one of the rare occasions that a restaurant that looks like a chain but isn't a chain is actually damned delicious. Luckily, it was the first place I ate on HHI, so I knew where to go for the good stuff. I ate the gambit from the fish and chips, the salads, the tacos, and all the sides. Absolutely delicious! A couple of fresh options local to the area and some which are definitely flown in, but they are honest with a cool sourcing board on the wall as soon as you walk through. The staff is also great and knowledgeable about the food. They are usually very welcoming without lingering. Stupid good time! read more

Visited for the weekend, we had always wanted to try authentic southern seafood and this is the place to visit. The service was prompt we didn't have to wait more than 30 min for our food. The food was very flavorful and fulfilling the portion sizes were very generous. I ordered the Surf N Turf Burger and kids grill cheese. There's plenty of parking and is close to the Omni resort we were taken by the shuttle. Will go back again when we visit Hilton Head. read more

Of course the marketing for this place was on point. I couldn't drive by a restaurant with the name "Slapfish" and a giant hand/fish calling out and not give it a try. And oh am I glad I did. After walking in and reading the menu I wondered if the name should have been "slap your momma" (that means something is really good in the South). But probably too many words for a sign. The fish taco and shrimp burrito caught my eye (pun intended), but then I discovered the lobster section. Lobster roll, grilled cheese, and a burger! But wait, there's housemade pickles (grilled or fried)?! I began to worry my entire time in HH would be spent here, sampling the entire menu. But alias, I had to make a decision. I couldn't say no to a lobster roll and the fried pickles were a must as well. I ordered the clobster grilled cheese (includes a creamy herb sauce) just in case I did not pass this way again. The question of quantity was quickly answered. I would not be leaving here hungry. But what about the flavor? And texture, you have to be gentle with lobster. As I rotated the three items (that's how I always eat) I knew the team that night had brought their A game. That thick, Texas toast bread for the lobster roll had the crunch and firmness I had experienced in the Chesapeake Bay. The fried pickles had the right amount of bite and snap, with a breading I won't soon forget. And that grilled cheese? It's like running into a childhood friend after three decades; you don't realize how much you miss them until they're right in front of you. Or in this case, on your plate. But you get the point. Be sure to sit outside if you can. The traffic is usually busy (it is HH after all), but the occasional whiff of ocean air will compliment your order perfectly. You can thank me later. read more

Well, we tried. First off, the fried pickles were really good. Unfortunately, the rest of our food fell flat primarily because of the seasoning. We ordered the single fish and fries ($10) and double fish and fries ($14). The shrimp burrito was a very good size but not a lick of seasoning. The guy at the front taking our orders was very helpful and nice. Would I visit again? Probably not, but they have sauces, vinegar, hot sauce, tarter, and Old Bay seasoning that can help. read more

Slapfish - Hawaiian Bowl - Seafood Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Slapfish is a new fast casual spot near the Sea Pines Circle. You order at a counter and the food comes to your table. We were able to put tables together outside on the patio. Some Covid protocols where in place with social distancing signs. They have all the indoor space open to the outside for fresh air. This is a come as you are place, very casual. Some menu items stood out more than others. The Bowls seem to be a whole different business than the Fried Fish. You can find much better Fried Fish at places like the Sea Shack and Steamers. I would steer away from items with Fried Fish as part of the dish. The bowls are a newer concept for Hilton Head. I hope they expand that area as it is fresh and healthy. Daily specials are written on roll of brown butcher paper to the right of the cash register. Constancy seems to be an issue with people ordering the same dish and it looking very, very different. We will try again and hope the kinks get worked out. Slapfish has their own parking lot. read more

Slapfish is always a treat to have. I always get the lobster taquitos and the grilled fish bowl for the most part, but their lobster roll is also delicious.

Really solid food in a fun fast-casual atmosphere. This place is very eye-catching in a high-traffic location. I finally got around to trying and I'm so glad I did! I went in for lunch and I got the lobster grilled cheese and key lime pie. The grilled cheese is deliciously luxurious with the lobster addition and the awesome sauce it came with paired really nicely with it. The key lime pie is made in-house and you could tell, it was really yummy. Great experience and great food in a relaxed space. I really enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend it! read more

This is my second time to slap fish and unfortunately today is because it was not quite good as the first. The tuna in the Poké bowl did not taste fresh and had an unfortunate fishy taste.

We were in a hurry to decide on a lunch spot. I remembered driving past this place and decided to pull up the menu. Everything was absolutely delicious!

My daughter had the lobster taquitos appetizer. My husband had the fried shrimp roll sandwich. Everything we ordered was well-seasoned, including the french fries. The fish and chips came with housemade tarter sauce and pickles. Pro-tip: The portion sizes are VERY generous. read more

Sooo.... I hope this doesn't come across wrong, but we're Californian. We know our Mexican food. We also know our Baja cuisine. And we were impressed with our first visit to Slapfish. We've lived in the Carolinas for 4 years now. And despite all the great cuisine available, our biggest disappointment has been trying to find some flavorful Mexican like we're used to. Slapfish was a very welcome experience. We now know one of the places we can count on in the Hilton Head area. read more

Just know this chain is fast casual, with inside picnic tables and large outside covered patio with metal furniture. Order at the counter and food is brought out to your table.

Fish and shellfish are fresh, properly seasoned and cooked. The fish filet sandwich was described as "the best I've ever eaten" by a picky teen. Shrimp tacos are large and filled with big shrimp and tasty slaw and are But the best is the lobster grilled cheese sandwich. Thickly sliced bread and buttery lobster with melted cheese - good for dinner or after six beers. Please build one in Wilmington y'all.

What a fantastic hidden gem located on Hilton Head Island. Looking for some local seafood dishes this is the place. The ambiance is super casual, clean, and quant. The bathrooms were super clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The menu had a variety of local fish cuisines ranging fish tacos, fish bowls, and variety of rolls. We ordered the lobster roll, clam roll, and shrimp burrito wrap. This place also serves light seltzer's, local beers and some drafts. The lobster roll was by far one of the most tasty and flavorful rolls I have ever experienced. The price was a little high based on the size but overall extremely tasty. It was served with a choice of fries or a side salad. The clam roll was delicious with fries as well. The shrimp burrito was super sized and could have been shared with two people. This was served with seasoned tortilla chips. A little spicy packed with tons of flavors and rice. Overall this place is highly recommended stop for lunch or dinner time. Amazing place to stop and order any of their local fish dishes. Service was great!!! The staff were friendly and informative!!! read more
