Forsyth Seafood Market - Winston Salem

Great fried catfish and the collard greens were as good as grandma's. The sanitation grade is very respectable too. Service was slow and advised that my order wasn't received and had no record of name of the person whom placed the order..and paid for via phone call. Careful stepping to leave the counter area..a little slippery.

The Forsyth Seafood Market Café Experience (Carryout Edition). On this day, I was looking for seafood and convenience. The Forsyth Seafood Market Café was near, and I knew I needed to arrive early to beat the lunchtime rush. So, upon walking into the café portion, I was slightly confused about their ordering system. They had tables with card readers and mini-computer notebooks in front of their counter. So, I was unsure if I were to order through the notebook or with a person. After touching the notebook screen and noticing there was no menu, I asked someone behind the counter if she was taking orders and was told yes. So I ordered their two-piece fish plate that comes with a side, hushpuppies, and slaw. It did not take long for my food to come up, and I was walking out of the door in no time. Once back and ready to eat, my food was ok. However, I did not taste much seasoning on my fish. Would I go back to Forsyth Seafood? I don't know if I would go back. I don't feel like the price of the plate reflects through the taste of their food. The dish itself gave resemblance to something you would get at a fish fry fundraiser through your local church or school. Moreover, there was nothing memorable about the customer service received.

The service was excellent, and the seafood was the best we've had in years. The oysters and shrimp were cooked to perfection. The broiled oysters with garlic and parmesan cheese were absolutely divine. I can't wait to return. Thank you for the amazing seafood experience!

Make sure you receive hot fish because my son ordered hot fish and was served cold fish. He had to go back in for them to correct his order. And the staff are not very attentive when placing orders. It is not the customers duty to check if food is hot and fresh. Fish should never be served cold....period. Therefore I will not be utilizing their services in the future. Makes for bad business.

The food at this restaurant is outstanding. Everything was absolutely perfect. From the flounder to the oysters and shrimp, every dish was incredibly delicious. The sides, particularly the greens, were among the best I've ever tasted. The desserts, all made in-house, are fantastic—we tried the strawberry shortcake and banana pudding, both of which were delightful. The dedicated staff here truly knows how to prepare an excellent seafood meal. I will definitely be returning!
