Captain J Seafood

Food was fresh and tasted great. Prices were reasonable. Healthy portions . Restaurant was clean and service was friendly and quick

I've been visiting Captain J Seafood for several years and really enjoy it. The food is always fresh and delicious, the service is fast and friendly, the restaurant is always neat and clean. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. Parking is never an issue here as Village Square Shopping Center has a huge private lot that generally is only about 5-10% filled with cars. The restaurant occupies a corner space at the end of the strip of stores.The menu consists mostly of a wide variety of fresh fried fish and seafood items. I think the only entree on the menu that's not fried is steamed shrimp. This place is really all about seafood as the only non-seafood items offered are fried chicken tenders, hush puppies, french fries and coleslaw. I usually order the Seafood Platter B which consists of a couple of fish fillets (usually whiting), scallops, shrimp and oysters. Seafood Platter A is the same but has a crab cake in place of the oysters. I am not impressed with their crab cake but I always enjoy all the items on Seafood Platter B. I usually pay a $1 upcharge to get flounder instead of whiting on my platter. Like all the other combinations and dinners, hushpuppies, french fries and coleslaw are included. Their homemade cocktail and tartar sauces are also very nice and are included with your order. My wife usually gets the fish and shrimp combination or the catfish dinner, both are delicious. I appreciate the COVID protocols in place at Captain J. Signage is clear, you must wear a mask to enter. They even have a sign reminding people the mask must cover mouth and nose. There is a small dining room with seating for 20 to 25 people or so but during the COVID pandemic they are strictly takeout with no dining in. They also don't take phone-in or online orders. You must order in person but the service is always good so you don't have to wait more than a few minutes.i enjoy picking up lunch or dinner at Captain J. The food is great, portions are ample and it's very affordable. Add in their friendly service and the neat and clean appearance and you have a winning combination. Two thumbs up.

They have delicious seafood.We have been eating there for years.I love the large shrimp dinners.

Surprisingly yummy!I'd give them five stars, but they fry everything and I'd like to have the option of ordering baked/broiled seafood. First of all, this place has been standing for a least 10 years and I never paid them any attention until a few months ago.I ordered a platter and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. I'm used to waiting 15 maybe even 20 mins for seafood to go, but not here! Granted, they were not super busy around 6 pm on a Thursday evening, but customers were dining in and after we placed our order at least two parties came in to place orders.Also, I requested hot sauce and cocktail sauce...check! But they did not have old bay seasoning to pass out or even pour into a cup. This was a little disappointing... Old Bay seasoning is life!Oh well, we settled for what they did have and we were super pleased!Everything was superb! The food was golden brown...yummy fries, the hush-puppies tasty, the fish well cooked and the shrimp... I wanted more! Scallops so not enough! Now the crab cake... it wasn't the best, but their version, I approve, but don't expect a full cake of crab. The crab cake is thin but the filling is light. However, next time, I will pass on the crab cake and opt for more scallops and shrimp. I see this place becoming an addiction if you let them.I'd definitely recommend you give this place a try. They offer pretty much all things seafood but they have chicken tenders/fingers as well if you have children with you that stick to the norm.There is seating/dining in available. And no worries about smelling like seafood. There is also a TV inside as well I believe.Parking is plentiful. The restaurant is located in a large a shopping strip among other stores. While this area used to be booming with shops, there are only a handful still standing. Such as: Dollar Store, Big Lots, CitiTrends. This place may be hard to spot from the street. But it's located off of Military Hwy and it's positioned in the corner. You will see the Burger King from the highway first, so turn by BK and look in the corner and bam...there will be the restaurant.Have fun and enjoy life ;)

Gosh, this is so tucked away in a struggling strip mall, Big Lots, Home Emporium Kmart in the area also. I was wanting some fried fish and sure thing...fries fish, French fries, hushpuppy also fried, and fried tater sauce..just kidding there. Before I moved to this area I went to pick up food here. Not super tasty but cooked fast and the place is clean. Nice ladies behind the counter also. Whiting fish dinner consisted of 3 identical portions, fried. The crinkle cut fries are fried on grease, but not greasy. Not much more than that.

My girlfriend and I recently moved to the area, and she's been meeting me up by my place of employment for lunch on paydays. I asked a coworker where I should go for some good seafood, particularly cat fish, and they recommended this place to me. Man, I'm glad they did.For context, my girlfriend isn't an avid seafood fan. She likes it, don't get me wrong, but she's not a fan of super-fishy-type things. Shrimp for her can be hit or miss, depending on freshness and seasoning. We went in for lunch, I got the cat fish dinner and she the medium fried shrimp. Spoiler alert: she loved her meal, and she's definitely a picky customer.My cat fish was seasoned well, was fried perfectly and was silky smooth. Her shrimp were, honestly, some of the best fried shrimp I've had. The batter they use is so flaky, light and crispy, and it's clear their seafood is very fresh. We used to live in South Florida, and as I'm sure you can imagine the seafood standard down there is pretty high. This place definitely contends with the hole-in-the-wall locations I loved in Miami and the Keys, and frankly it's down to the wonderful seasoning.It seems to be a very small, family-run establishment, and it's clear whoever's cooking just knows how to cook and season very well. Please support this restaurant, as not many like it exist, and people who provide such great food deserve success.
