About us : We are a wild caught seafood market & southern fried seafood restaurant located in the eastern neighborhood of Winston Salem, NC. We are one of the only black & female led fresh seafood markets in the state that has direct roots to the Eastern NC fisherman communities. The fresh market carries over 20 types of local whole fish that we display on our original ice counter where guests can pick out their fish for our fish butchers to clean to order. The other entity of the business is our Eastern NC southern fried restaurant where local seafood is fried to crispy perfection and served with our famous homemade coleslaw, hush puppies, and other chef specialties.
