Pier 8 — Restaurant in Seabrook

Not what it used to be, at all... I loved this place because you can pick out your seafood and get it cooked on the spot. They'll fry it up for you. The price to get it fried wasn't bad and I would always take family and friends there. But now these people charge for the fish by the pound, and their prices are higher than the grocery store and this is a fish market. If you ask them to fry it. They charge you again as if you purchased the plate of fish at a restaurant. For an example. I paid $20.00 for my fish. Mind you the fish wasn't fresh because the eyes weren't clear they'd already started turning milky. Then I paid $20 more for them to fry it and add fries and a can of Coke. The Total came up to 40 plus tax plus you get no waiter no service and when they clean your table, they are looking for a tip, truth they try to get the tip before they hand you the food. You pick your fish, They charge by the pound, and then use your fish to prepare your plate as if they purchased the fish from a wholesaler. They charge you again for the fish when they fry it and put it on a plate. But their wholesaler, they are a fish market. Get it. That's a scam. To me, $5.00 to drop the fish in some hot oil would be fair. Plus they don't even season the fish. And the place stinks It doesn't just smell like fish. It smells like sewers are backed up in there. And they have this black cat that is in their begging for your fish.Just take your money to one of the several nice seafood restaurants on the south side of the bridge. Dine in style get some good service and enjoy yourself. Don't even stop here to buy your fresh fish. Pass them up turn right and make a left and you'll see several fish markets where you can buy...

During my recent visit to Pier 8, I decided to sample their fried fish battered with cornmeal, hoping for a flavorful and satisfying dish. Unfortunately, my experience with this particular menu item mirrored my previous encounters at the restaurant - lacking in taste and disappointing overall.

The fried fish, coated with cornmeal batter, failed to deliver the savory and robust flavors that I had anticipated. Despite its promising appearance, the dish turned out to be surprisingly flavorless, leaving much to be desired in terms of taste and culinary satisfaction. The lack of seasoning and seasoning left the fish tasting bland and unremarkable.

While the concept of fried fish battered with cornmeal had the potential to be a standout dish on the menu, the execution fell short of expectations. The absence of flavor in this particular dish further highlights the culinary shortcomings that seem to persist at Pier 8, detracting from the overall dining experience.

In light of this disappointing encounter with the fried fish battered with cornmeal, I find myself even more hesitant to consider a return visit to Pier 8. The consistent lack of taste and flavor in the food offerings casts doubt on the restaurant's ability to provide a truly satisfying dining experience.

In conclusion, Pier 8's fried fish battered with cornmeal failed to impress, adding to the list of underwhelming dishes I have encountered at the restaurant. Until significant improvements are made to enhance the flavor and quality of the food, I remain unsure about revisiting Pier 8 in...

I can't tell you how good the food was because I never got a chance to even try the food. I was in line ordering my meal and the lady at the cashier was rude. When my order came through I was kicked out from the inside of the restaurant and was asked to eat outside and I told the cashier that it was hot. However, she said that I am to eat outside. I told her can I eat inside in the one table that is there? She said no so due to the heat I asked the lady. Can I just get my money back? I don't want to eat outside. She was very rude when I asked for the money back and said rules are rules and I am not a special person to break the rules for. First, I was not aware that you are not supposed to eat inside despite the fact that they have chairs and tables inside the restaurant. They didn't have everything on the menu. When I asked for rice they only had one specific rice. I understand that shrimp and seafood is a pricey item but not enough for me to stay there. Pay over $25 to be treated wrong. When the cashier gave me the money back she said she didn't have enough to pay me for my money back and asked for me to wait I said could you just put it in the card and even that was a difficult item for her. I normally don't post negative items. I let little things lie down but this lady went out of her way to be rude to me despite the fact that I am a paying customer and at a pricey price at that. Bad atmosphere Horrible customer service I...
