Emerald Isle Seafood Restaurant & Market

$$$ 40 for lunch, pricey. They have a daily lunch special. We started with the smoked tuna dip. It was good. I had the shrimp tacos with hush puppies. The cole slaw was a bit watery, which made the flour tortilla soggy. The shrimp were fried and tasty. I ended up eating the shrimp, 3 on each taco. The dining room is small, and at 11 a.m. it was busy for lunch. The service was excellent she was friendly. I will probably go back for the fried white fish, which is what everyone else was ordering. After lunch, I went to the fresh seafood area and got oysters and crab meat. They were good in the gumbo I made the next day. There was a good selection of fresh fish on ice.

Had a great lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in years while visiting from out of state. The pretty waitress was very nice and we got our food quickly. I had the "grouper fingers" special and they were great with the tartar sauce. The fries were fresh and unique. The cold beer was a great retreat from the heat wave outside. Thank you for the great meal and I hope to see you again one day sooner than later!

Saw this place on google maps looking for a seafood restaurant when a friend came into town. We ate here 2 days in a row. Food is phenomenal for a small restaurant. I was not expecting this to be this good. I had the gulf shrimp and he had the special fish dish. Food came out piping hot and serving size was perfect. I moved here to the area in January and this will be my go to seafood place.
