Blue Ocean Seafood

Great Seafood! !! stuffed shrimp and grilled shrimp soooo good most excellent! Seafood Gumbo was off the charts...Hush puppies to die for. Lol well be back luv the place

Such a quaint little place. The food was good. Gumbo was great. The atmosphere was great. It was full of organized clutter that added a special touch to the mood. The service was very slow, but friendly

In town on business. Came in for dinner and ordered the Bun Bun Snapper. The sauce was rich and a little spicy. Very delicious. The decor is a little tacky, but that adds to the experience. Great food, great service. I'll be going back again.

It's ok. Very small. Only about 10 little tables. A lot of decor! Too much in my opinion. It makes it look dark and crowded. The food is ok. The fried snapper is good, nice crispy batter but a little bit of heat. The fries are just average fries. The hush puppies are really good! The fried shrimp is great! Steamed veggies are just frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrots but nice buttery flavor. The homemade ranch taste like it has a lot of dill in it. Not my favorite and I am very disappointed in the crab cakes. Way too many jalapeños! And too thick for my liking. The center didn't taste done and the pickled taste from the jarred jalapeños ruined the flavor of the crab. The gumbo was less than average. Nothing special. It has an apple cider vinegar smell. Weird.Anyway we wanted to give the place a try but I personally won't return.

Best blackened catfish I've ever had. Very spicy -- tasty! My husband enjoyed his dish as well. The next time we drive to Matagorda we will make a point to stop by Blue Ocean Seafood restaurant in Bay City for lunch. Very good and reasonably priced -- highly recommend!

Great food but bring an appetite because the plates are big. Highly recommend! Don't be in a hurry

The seafood is still good, but I'm so bummed! My favorite thing for years about this restaurant has changed--they now sell "house" wines, so you can no longer bring your own bottle in. I'm no wine snob, but I don't like the least expensive available, so this was literally the best feature; you could enjoy a decent glass of wine with your seafood. It wasn't a welcome surprise on our latest visit, especially when this revelation was followed by the fact that they were also completely out of oysters. Then the "salad" was a plate of iceberg lettuce. Not joking. The only addition was one, single grape tomato, and a pile of grated cheese, but I don't want cheese on my salad. The fish was still delicious. I'm just not thrilled about the other changes on this visit. Also I see in my old review I stated that the entrees were under $15, but the snapper entrees are now $19.99.

I love to go here for a quiet place it's always good young girls sometimes forget to come check on customers. But it's a great place for good oysters , blacken shrimp and veggies with a glass of pino!!!

Amazing Food and very cute little place. Love their hush puppies. great buffalo chicken po-boy

This place is gorgeous. I just love the way it looks inside, interesting with all the things on the walls and a little bit romantic with the creative lighting.The menu is confusing. I couldn't tell what the meals came with, what the options were, and what was a substitute for what. Is it an up charge to sub salad for fries, or is the up charge for subbing fries for a salad? Makes it very hard to try to tailor a meal towards dietary restrictions.The fried shrimp seemed to be breaded with panko, which makes for a really good fried shrimp, it was seasoned well, and the hushpuppies were very good (I'm a sucker for sweet hushpuppies), but the coleslaw was unforgivable; it tasted like kimchi was used as the base. I don't like kimchi.The server for whatever reason was slow and not very responsive. Maybe she has too much to do in the kitchen? I don't know.
