I love this place . I do not have Yelp so I could give it the rating it dserves 10. I have not ever had a bad experience, staff is always courtesy and leofessional, and the food is absolutely delicious!!! I have been eaten here since 1989!

Excellent food and service

How are the prices??? Is it affordable

You get a good amount of food for the price and it is worth it.

Any gluten-free options?

I don't think so

Do you deliver

That's a negative!!!

Is this restaurant good for large groups? 10 adults and two toddler?

It should be alright. Like Joshua said, it's not a big place, but I think you could even do a few more than 10 people. We've eaten there over the past 5 years when we go through Wilmington and the food is always good.

Do you have all you cam eat fried oysters

No but it's so much food you can't eat it all at one time you have to save some for later

How to order online

Something Fishy is beyond Outstanding. Friendly people, huge portions and hot food. When we're in Wilmington, that's our spot.

Did they flood during the hurricane

No

Do ypu have all you can eat crab legs

No.

Good seafood. Good staff. Charming atmosphere. My family and I stopped by Something Fishy after a day trip to Carolina Beach. It reminded us of the Mayflower restaurant that we are use to in Raleigh, NC. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Nice, casual place to get seafood that is reasonably priced.

The food was wonderful. Very freah tasting and they dont add any salt and only use flour for the coating. I will definately go back and highly recommend this place to every seafood lover!

We usually eat here or get carry out a couple of times a month. The food is always good and tastes fresh. The seafood is better here than it is at those famous Calabash places! The hush puppies are the best in town and so hard to keep your hand out of the hush puppy basket! We always take out of town visitors to Something Fishy for seafood!

My friend recommended this restaurant to us and it was delicious. The shrimp, scallops, oysters and flounder was all good. The hushpuppies came out hot and with a touch of honey butter we couldn't have asked for better. We will definitely be back!

Great for Calabash style seafood. But if you are looking for more modern healthy seafood, don't go here. This place does what it does very well. Don't try to make it something else.

Flavorless, Old Tasting, and overpriced. Flavorless - A little salt and pepper would go a long ways. Flounder tasteless (Skin is left on), Fries flavorless, Corn - was boiled in water without any seasoning. Shrimp is not de-veined. Old Tasting - Hush puppies tasted old an stale. (Sitting under a heat lamp texture). Fries tasted old and soggy. (Sitting under a heat lamp texture). Overpriced - $37 for two plates of poor quality food. Food is not freshly made for the most part. Seafood places are a dime a dozen in this area. Will not be going back here again. Guy Fiery - Poster of Guy visiting and approving. I bet they made fresh food was made to ensure good quality taste and texture. But for the "other" customers...you can expect low quality food.

Saw this place on Diners, Drive Is, and Dives and knew we had to visit. My wife had the flounder and fried shrimp platter with coleslaw and fries. I had the fried shrimp platter with corn on the cob and a boiled red potatoe. It was all very delicious! Their hush puppies are fabulous! Gumball sized and flavorful. Seafood was fresh and perfectly fried. Their cocktail sauce is fantastic! I had a cup of the clam chowder. Delicious and creamy, and flovored perfectly. Brad was our waiter. He did an excellent job taking care of us. Highly recommend this place when you visit Wrightsville Beach or Wilmington, NC. We will be back.

Better than your average fried seafood restaurant. I'm especially fond of their batter. It has a bit more crispness not soggy like a lot of places. The prices are fair for the portion sizes. My only complaint would be they were stingy on the condiments for takeout. If I'm picking up $30 worth of food I don't want to get home and it have enough cocktail sauce.

Portions are huge for the price! Loved the hush puppies and the seafood was good; just not 5-star good. We were visiting from out of town and ended up going two days in a row. Service was fantastic on day one. I can’t say the same for the second visit.

They said it would be 15 minutes and we ended up waiting an hour. They gave our food to someone else by accident and then the manager yelled at us for asking for extra ketchup. Our order was brought out at three different times and they still forgot our drinks. The food was horrible. The French fried were rubbery and our shrimp burgers were basically fried shrimp on a Great Value bun. They couldn’t even throw in lettuce or tomato. They’ve been doing take out for some time so there’s no good excuse. I understand mistakes happen, but just apologize and own up to them. Don’t yell at people who are simply trying to get their order right. I paid $11 for a burger that wasn’t worth $5 and service that’s was well below average.

My Friend and I went here by recommendation from a relative. It was absolutely awesome. We enjoyed the food and it was very clean and friendly. Not dressy...just down to earth folk. We felt welcomed. Still had a generous amount to take home even though we split our plate and ate really well. Thumbs up!

We loved the seafood. Not overcooked and large portions. The hush puppies were amazing as was the clam chowder. I was not a fan or the green beans or the slaw. My son and husband got the okra and loved it. Great service and very clean.

This place is amazing. We found it randomly and then realized it was on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It is a very low key casual place, but the service and the food are outstanding. If you are wanting some quality fresh seafood with the best hush puppies and very friendly on point servers. Pricing is so affordable for the quality of food. I highly recommend this place. We had a party of 12 with kids and it was a great environment for that.

Absolutely wonderful! Went in with very high expectations after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. Reminds me of trips to Calabash NC as a young boy with my family. Light crispy better, seafood really takes the spotlight. The Flounder was some of the best I've ever had, the shrimp were plump and meaty, very fresh, and the oysters and scallops were just divine. Can't wait until my next trip to Wilmington. Staff also shines, friendly without being pushy, very comfortable. Felt right at home, my favorite feeling in a restaurant.

We are new to the area and have been looking for a good seafood place. We are from an area known for great seafood/fish camps, and we have had problems finding anything comparable. Well we found it here and it was way better than we expected!! Only problem was we couldn't get through on the phone, but that's an indication that many were trying to call in to order. We can't wait to take our family and friends when they come here to visit.

The fish and shrimp were excellent. The slaw was good not great. The hush puppies were very good but I prefer onion chips in my hush puppies. The tartar sauce was too tangy and tasted like bought tartar sauce. French fries were typical.
