Alrighty, here is my take on ocoee’s newest seafood joint. Right off I would like to say the atmosphere was clean, the staff was pleasant and the service was pretty quick. Now let’s get into what you guys wanna hear. My wife and I ordered the shrimp platter $28 bucks 20 large shrimp, corn, sausage and a egg, no drink. Overall taste, it was well seasoned but extremely salty unfortunately. I do have a high salt intake but my wife doesn’t, so she only ate a few bites. So lack of seasoning you won’t have to worry about. Now judging by the plate the seafood seemed to be boiled, seasoned and baked, which is why I stated compared to their competitors within 5 miles they set the bar on taste.
Competition: by no means should this place be compared to Mr & Mrs crabs in the best buy plaza across the street. You can however compare it to Publix & winn dixie seafood, Marcos or franks. I would still choose franks because I’ve been going there longer. but we’re speaking on preference so Hnina’s does have the best seasoning out of the options given at the moment based off how the cook their seafood that makes it stand out.
Now price: They are on the more expensive side for take out seafood, yes I said take-out seafood. Can you sit in yes but the vast majority isn’t so, Between price and options available they are alittle on the higher side compared to the competitors listed above. But still worth trying!
I gave it 3 stars because the food was extremely salty! it was seasoned to perfection just way too much. We did sit in and eat so it was nice to see that The owners do swing by the table to ask how every thing is going, so the service is there and the atmosphere was pleasant.
But overall I will be returning to try the large blue crabs and clams (Because those are my favorite). Once I do try those I’ll give you guys a full review but so far, 3 stars is where I stand. And I do recommend you try it...
Read moreTurn the clock back 70 plus years and fish markets were common throughout the south. Hnina's is a throw-back to those wonderful times that now are so rare. They sell what was caught fresh so fish type varies. It's good to call ahead and ask if you are looking for something specific. It's not fancy and it smells .... well, like a fish market!! Prices are reasonable. You can buy fish three different ways 1) Freshly caught; 2) Have them clean the fish for you and they are ready for you to cook when you get home; 3) Pick out the fish you want, have them cleaned and cooked. Eat there or take home. There are several delicious sides you can order. They are not stingy with portions. I love the place. Dr....
Read moreThis food is so good and so fresh! If you are looking for the old school crab spots this is the place. By old school I mean the way it was before all these crab boil bag restaurants became a thing. Seafood the old school way with just garlic and butter served in a tray. When me and my sister went the owner was working behind the register. She is a cute little lady and funny. Now I wouldn't recommend eating in the restaurant because it's a little warm in there. Also call ahead to order because there is definitely a wait. I had a blue platter and the size and flavor is just perfect. Please stop in. You will not be...
