The service was amazing. Tim needs a raise he went above and made us feel welcomed. He needs a raise and promotion. He alone made us want to return. The food was fresh and amazing. The chicken breast was juicy and flavorful. The greens and red beans and rice were so good. I could eat their greens every day. Their walley is cooked and flavored well and it tastes like it was caught and cooked the same day.I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything from here.They are reasonably priced and they are generous with their portions. If you have not been here you need to check them out.

We had an incredible experience at Caplinger's Fresh Catch! The customer service was outstanding - friendly and welcoming from beginning to end. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection, with a great variety of fish, sides, and more on the menu. The laid-back atmosphere made for a relaxing, casual dining experience. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was gracious and down-to-earth. He even gave us thank you card and a small gift card for our next visit. We can't wait to return and highly recommend this spot!

Very small restaurant and fresh fish market but high quality food and service. There are two refrigerators with bottled drinks, desserts, prepared foods, goods, frozen fish and seafood. There is a large display of fresh fish and seafood for the market. You order at a small counter and there are about 6 tables for dine in. They have delicious drink options with mixed fruit juices, soda, sweet tea, and Tamika Catchings bottled tea. They have sandwiches, salmon, shrimp, oysters, catfish, etc. The sides are delicious. I recommend both their mac n cheese and fried ocra.

This place is a go to and a must try if you want some great seafood in a casual setting. They have a counter where you can just buy raw fish (have them cook it or take home to cook) and you can also order and sit at the tables to eat. They have quite a few fish sandwiches made with lots of different fish, their lobster roll is amazing, the gator bites are really good, and so is most other things on the menu. I do sometimes struggle deciding whether to go here or somewhere with more ambience because you pay the same price even without being "fancy". It is certainly not a cheap meal at $25 a person on average but it is a good meal!

I really wish we could do half stars because I would give this a 3.5 star rating. We placed an online pickup order and everything was correct. That's a nice attention to detail. Entrees and sandwiches were great. All sauces were included, etc. The side of candied yams is absolutely the most amazing thing in this world. So good. Here's where things went kinda sideways for me. A large side of red beans and rice and an order of lobster bisque were obviously heavily microwaved. You know when you reheat something in a plastic to-go container and the rim gets kinda crusty and the plastic gets weird? Yea. That. The lobster bisque was really good, but my heart was broken at the crust ring around the container. It's bisque. Be gentle. The red beans and rice were an utter disaster. It was as if someone packaged this pint to-go container three days prior and then nuked it for my order. The rice was a sticky gelatinous mess at the bottom and the beans were undercooked. The sauce, which was sparse, just sat on top of the rice mess. I've wanted to try Caplinger's since the original location opened and now they have four! I look forward to going back and ordering thoughtfully.
