Fish Monger Seafood - Surfside Beach

Great seafood. Owners are present loud and proud of their place. Simply place with great food.

It seems this restaurant has closed down, which is a shame because it was really quite good. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a fish market, to say the least. Nonetheless, we made it a point to visit every time we went to Myrtle Beach.

The prices were much higher than I anticipated, but the quality of the food was outstanding. I dined with my brother and we started with the seafood nachos as an appetizer. For my main course, I ordered the flounder basket, and he chose the oyster basket. My dish featured a large piece of beautifully fried flounder accompanied by a generous serving of fries, while his included around eight fried oysters and a similar amount of fries. I believe their cocktail sauce is made in-house, and it’s among the best I’ve ever tasted. I highly recommend the seafood nachos; they are smothered in delicious queso, which also makes for a great dipping sauce for the fries. Overall, while it may not fit my budget, if you’re not as frugal as I am, you’ll likely find it worth every penny!

The service is outstanding! However, I would appreciate it if the woman at the counter would wear gloves when handling my fish selection, as she has done this twice now.

I found everyone I spoke with, including the owners, to be incredibly friendly and helpful. The shrimp and flounder I brought home from vacation were of the highest quality! We also had lunch, and the po' boy was one of the best I've ever tasted!
