4 /5 Scott Reeling: Stopped in at Fresh Catch Seafood and left full, happy, and already talking about when we’re coming back. I ordered the catch of the day, which was tilefish, and had it blackened. Whoever’s running the seasoning back there knows exactly what they’re doing. It was seasoned perfectly, not over the top, and cooked just right—flaky, moist, and full of flavor without needing a thing added to it.
The waffle fries deserve their own mention. They were seasoned with Old Bay, and as a Marylander, that immediately felt like home. Crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. Simple, but done the right way.
We started with a couple appetizers and weren’t disappointed. The calamari came out hot, tender, and in a generous portion—not one of those skimpy plates where you’re still hungry afterward. The bang bang shrimp was also spot on. Great flavor, good balance of heat and sauce, and clearly made fresh.
Big shoutout to Drew, our waiter. He was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and knew the menu without being pushy or fake about it. Just solid service all around.
Fresh Catch isn’t fancy, and it’s not trying to be. That’s what I liked about it. It’s a place that focuses on good food, good portions, and doing things right. If you’re looking for a solid seafood meal without the fluff, I’d absolutely recommend it
