Fiddlers Sea Food Market 572 South Green Street, Ridgeland, SC 29936

"New owners, refreshed look, great Oysters - Local, salty, clusters."

"I had shrimp and crab cluster steamed . Very tasty"

"The fried oysters and steamed scallops best I've had!! fried okra, hush-puppies, and grits were fabulous too! Great price and large portions! Yes they offer non seafood options but why bother when the seafood is sooo good? (Oh some people can't eat seafood sooo treat your loved one who does, to this simple but delicious restaurant) Note... we went to the market first because our GPS took us there not to the restaurant!! Great jams, candy etc and great price on fresh seafood!"

"This is my go to place. Every year I get my oysters from here for my birthday, always great and at a good price. I get their spicy steamed garlic shrimp all the time, definitely my favorite. It is a must buy. They have all kinds of fresh seafood and local made items, plus more in the market. Its definitely a place to stop by if you're just passing through to get a taste of some of the local food, or local made items to take with you on the road."

"This is worth the trip. We came up from Hilton Head Island, which is major destination for seafood (along with Bluffton) to see Christmas decorations and eat at Fiddlers for the first time. We ordered whiting and grits and a shrimp Po-Boy. The whiting was very nice (mild in flavor with a soft, sweet flavor with large flakes), and the grits were nearly perfect. They had the last and texture slow cook grits, smooth and not too thick. The shrimp Po-Boy had fried shrimp with just the right amount of lettuce and tomato on a pillowy 8 inch long white roll. One of the ladies from the counter greeted us and told us that unless we took the grilled option, "We fry everything." That was music to our ears. We did not try the fries, but the fried fish and shrimp were done to perfection, so I imagine the fries would be great. I got collard greens as a side, which were well done (even without ham or bacon). Frying fish the right way is a lot of work (with fresh fish and fresh oil the most important ingredients), and you can see from the traffic of townspeople coming in for take-out, that Fiddler's is a treasured local institution. The decor is whimsical and the service is cheerful and quick. You order at the counter and they call out your name to pick up. They have lemonade, tea and fountain drinks (Coca-Cola products!)."
