The Seafood Center

I can't believe we've never been here! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The store has a great selection of different types of seafood, fish, and more. We just stopped in to check it out so we didn't buy too much, but we will absolutely be back. I'd like to try one of their hot fish meals. We got the shrimp cocktail and the shrimp and scallop cakes. My husband said that it was some of the best shrimp he has ever had, and he eats a lot of shrimp! The shrimp and scallop cakes were very flavorful and not too heavy on the breading. They were very easy to reheat in the oven. Looking forward to ordering some carryout meals soon!

I was there to get some fresh fish. While there, decided to takeout dinner. Fish sampler was a good way to try out many types of fish. Cod was my favorite followed by perch. Crab cake and onion rings were ok. Fresh fish was in general a lot more expensive than grocery store prices.

Wow! We really enjoyed our fish fry from the Seafood Center! Tasty fried cod and fried shrimp. Great fries. The fresh Cherrystone Clams we ordered for our family clam boil were amazing! We will definitely keep this place top of mind for our seafood needs!

Great place for fresh seafood or a hot carry out to go. You can call ahead for pick up or order in person at the counter. They have a nice array of fresh fish, shrimp, scallops, etc. it's quite pricey. They also have a freezer full of frozen choice and a deli case with crab dip, salmon spread, egg rolls, crab cakes, smoked fish and more.A variety of fish and seafood are available for carry out. They are all deep fried and can be ordered with fries and a side of slaw. There is a daily catch of the day which consists of 4 different types of fish, fries and slaw. They also have a daily soup choice. My favorite meal is a cup of clam chowder and an order of clam strips with fries. They always have big meaty clams and the portion is generous. It's served with cocktail sauce. I always ask for tartar sauce for the fries which comes at a small charge. My husband usually orders the daily combo or perch. He said both are very good.To be fair, I originally gave them 4 stars but pulled one back as they open at 11:00am and never have their soup ready and available at that time. Very frustrating for customers.

Excellent selection and if they don't have , they will get you it! Knowledgeable staff will educate you on what works well with what you pick out and Scott once offered me his shoe instead of buying a pack of alligator. Alligator was good when deep fried but yes it has some tough parts

Quality fresh and frozen seafood is what The Seafood Center is all about. Fresh cocktail shrimp, sea scallops, and halibut were excellent. The salmon also looked fantastic. They carry plenty of different spices and sauces to complete your meal. This falls under " you get what you pay for" so the prices are at market for the quality you get. If you try them, I think you'll notice the difference!

For a simple fish market that sells and serves fish, it's not bad. I had the Cod Basket...three pieces of fried cod over fries. The breading is crispy, although a little saltier than I prefer. Fish itself was overwhelmed by the salty breading but overall for the price of 7.99 plus tax, it's better than what I've had at this price point. Agree with others, friendly service indeed. North Sea Fish in London is still the best in my memory... (see my other review). I'll check it out again in a couple months.

Great fresh fish. Delicious fish fry. Best French fries in town. Always has excellent customer service.

I've have going to the Seafood Center since it was on Fordem Avenue, but hadn't been there for a long time. I bought the stuffed shrimp that were so good I had to buy a box of them too! Friendly staff and very reasonable prices.

Excellent service with the best lake perch. Coming from the Fox Valley, where Friday lake perch dinners are legendary, I am grateful this option is available in Madison.
