This restaurant is like fresh seafood market, with small wine shop , and small area inside to eat in. Rhe also have some tables and chairs outside. Very casual place to eat. The food we had for lunch was good. We had the po boy fried scallop, crudo with fresh tuna, and 1/2 lbs steamed mussels. Everything so fresh and they also have fresh seafood there. It took a while for our food to come out so make sure you are not in a hurry if you want to eat here. But overall pretty good food.

We love CudaCo. Quick, easy, and tasty seafood. A little on the pricier side but not anything unusual for Charleston. The poke bowl is our go-to but everything we've had has been great!

Nice, laid back place to enjoy some fresh seafood. The oysters were delicious. They are half off on Tuesdays, which was a nice surprise. We also tried the fish dip. It had good flavor but was just a tad salty for my taste. The shrimp were flavorful and fresh too! Service was good, although minimal. It’s a seat yourself kind of place but we don’t mind that! Overall, we would definitely come back!

CudaCo is an interesting little seafood butchery, shop and restaurant. They ply their trade providing local fine dining restaurants with special cuts and preparations of quality seafood but also have a primarily takeout seafood restaurant. You can dine there but seating is very limited and the majority of their restaurant business appears to be take out. What’s unique is that customers chose their dinners from the fresh seafood case, it’s then cooked to order and packaged while you wait. If you are dining in you follow the same process but then take a table and wait for your pager to buzz. There are sides but they are few but inventive. The selection of seafood is limited as well but the quality is high. Oysters are a highlight and there are representatives from several locations. We dined in and feasted on stone crab claws and flounder with sticky rice and Caribbean chips as sides. They have several local beers and a selection of wine by the bottle, again leaning more toward takeout then dining in. Staff was very helpful and efficient. Plenty of parking and, thank the almighty, no background music. Overall a pleasant experience albeit not a normal dinner out. It is difficult to rate because it not strictly a restaurant but a business with a restaurant sideline. Rating it as a restaurant only, we give it four clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale. Probably a higher rating than it deserves but the food was very good.

So the food was really really good. The rice bowl in particular was outstanding and felt like a fair price for a lot of food. On the other hand, 16 dollars for 5 shrimp on a hotdog bun is ridiculous by any measure. Was almost insulting. For that reason, not sure if I’ll be back or not.

Very cool place, fresh seafood (see pics) served to order. Great vibe with craft beer and wine. Small amount of indoor seating but lots of seats outdoors. Definitely worth a visit!!

Top notch seafood selection, extremely friendly staff, and exceptional food! It does not get better than oysters pulled off ice, shucked, and fried right in front of you! CudaCo is a must for local fresh seafood when visiting James Island.

Sandy sandwich was absolutely AMAZING. Great taste; quality fresh flounder used - not overly fried. Overall 10/10!

Great seafood spot on James Island. My friend and I went on a Friday for lunch. First of all, I love that they have a parking lot. It is small but we easily found a spot. The menu boasted an impressive array of fresh seafood options, and each dish showcased the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The oysters, served with a mignonette, were a perfect start. The Daily Crudo was fresh and delicious as well. Also, I tried the coconut sticky rice bowl with salmon. It was so flavorful. Service was quick and friendly. The place is small. I could see that it would be difficult to find seating on a busier day. I would definitely come here again and recommend to anyone in and around Charleston.

Half price oysters on Tuesdays and they do not disappoint. Delicious! The staff is friendly, but you need to carry your own tray and dispose of the oysters. A very laid, back, beachy environment, so no need to dress up.

Talk about fresh seafood this place is a local gem right on James Island with seafood made to order or to take home to prepare. Very quaint and I had the salmon coconut sticky rice bowl with spicy mayo , seaweed , sliced carrots and a medley of other savory veggies. Friendly wait staff and my first visit while in town for the Cooper's River Bridge Run. What a variety of various seafood , from flounder , tuna crab , red snapper,oysters to name a few.

So fresh, so yummy, so authentic, so modern. Very clean, inviting small space with cute outdoor seating. Definitely made to pick up food to go or to eat outside with a friend/partner after the beach. Not big enough for groups and isn't a full service restaurant. Great quality and awesome staff! I love everything on the menu so just go try it!

Fun fish market that sells some delicious food. Slightly overpriced but still delicious nonetheless. Soft shell crab sandwich a particularly special treat this time of year. Best poke bowl in Charleston as well.

A great spot to grab some oysters and sit outside. We love the salmon and mahi dips with the ritz crackers or the old bay chips! Their mignonette is one of my favorites and they even make doggie treats! Check them out for half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays and their selection of tshirts and hats. We love cudaco and their original team.

I had the best soft shell crab sandwich here a while back and finally got back to try something else. We had the coconut sticky rice bowl and it was just perfect. The fish is so fresh (you choose which one you want to add) along with crispy veggies and seaweed salad. Not a huge menu, just a few ways to freshly prepare what's fresh that day.

I wish I took more pictures of the food but we were too busy eating everything they had, including 10 Oysters each. Thankfully we went there during soft shell season and let me say they fry all their food perfectly. The soft shell crab sandwich was beautiful, and by itself is worth seeking out. They fry any fish you want, so we opted for the snapper. The addition of spicy mayo and Wasabi helped add different flavors to the huge whole fish that we shared, and like I said, the fish was fried to perfection. We devoured the entire thing. The steamed clams were my wife's favorite part of the meal - she literally drank the broth after we finished the clams. If you visit and see that they're offering steamed clams or mussels (they were out of mussels on our visit) I highly recommend ordering them. The interior is small, however they have a cute exterior dining area under some trees with hanging lights. Bugs are drawn to me unlike no other, so I wasn't able to sit outside for long, but it's a nice spot. Being inside allowed us to talk to the chef behind the counter (who himself is opening his own restaurant in Avondale soon, Bearcats) and discuss the different typed of wines to pair with our food, or hear recommendations on oysters we should try. Since they also provide fish to many local restaurants, you can be sure you're getting some of the best fish in town prepared for you right in the market. It doesn't get much better than that.

Never have I ever ordered a fish sandwich anywhere. Not even at McDonald's but this came highly recommended. They have fresh fish also but I was there for the sandwich. 10/10 would recommend to anybody. They have indoor seating but also picnic tables outside. Stop by here on the way or back from Folly. You won't regret it. Amazing.

Mmmm sooo good! I was told I had to have seafood in Charleston, so CudaCo was choice after some research (thanks Yelp!). They have fresh seafood that one can pick out and have cooked to order or take home to cook. It costs $4 to cook each item regardless of how much you get per item. There's a fridge of pre-packs (liked cooked shrimp, pickled scallops, frozen fish, coleslaw, seaweed salad, etc.). The staff are helpful, patient with questions, and friendly! If I lived in the area, I'd definitely go for fresh fish! The little house has plenty of parking spots, several tables for 2 inside, and a restroom. It's simple and cute. I loved watching them clean the fish as well. My first trip was stellar-- the curry tuna skewer was so flavorful and meaty, not dry at all and on the verge of being ever so slightly raw in the middle (in a good way!). The shrimp was super tender and peeled already. Both were insanely addicting with their red/pink sauces (think cocktail and pickled onion(?)). I swore to myself I was coming back again before I even finished my meal! There might have been a different cook the second day I went, as the quality of cooking differed. The tuna skewer was quite dry and didn't have that dreamy almost buttery raw consistency. The half pound of stone crabs I had didn't have much meat and tasted okay (not very sweet, but I'm not a crab connoisseur). And to my great sadness, none of their red sauces were included! I was floored by their fish jaw (they suggested grouper over tuna), and I opted for it to be pan fried and baked (versus fried) when given the choice. When I got back home and opened the box, the fish jaw was massive! It also looked very fried. It was crispy and well seasoned, and the fins and skin tasted like potato chips (!!!), but I'm trying to avoid fried foods so that was disappointing. The grouper was so meaty and juicy until I got more to the middle, and then I realized I was eating partially raw fish. Yum?? I ended up microwaving the fish jaw to cook it fully. It was a bit unsettling and hard to eat without feeling guilty (fried) and like I might have ingested a couple of yucky bugs (ahhh). But if cooked properly, the grouper would probably be my favorite thing I ate on the trip!! Ugh, the flavor was so good~ I still recommend others to stop by. They have such a great selection to choose from! There's a 3% credit card charge, and don't forget that $4 cooking charge per item.

Overall, a great experience. I had a hard time giving it a 4 because how exceptional the ambiance was for a seafood store. Amazing that it did not have a smell that kept you out. I went here because I kept getting Instagram posts and something about half price oysters on Tuesday so instead of going home after work, I made a pitstop. I was pleasantly surprised that all oysters were half off, so I tried smoked oysters, fried oysters, and raw oysters. And they did not dissappoint. The raw oysters were not as flavorful as I would have liked but with their sauce and lemon they were delightful and well prepared. Next the smoked oysters which were really the star of the show. I expected them to be more cooked but they were just well prepared and delicious. The fried oysters were very tasty as they almost always are and the half price situation made them affordable. We had a beer as well and enjoyed our oysters inside. We were confused about the outside area. There is an area but in the back of the parking lot and not real clear that it is part of the property but as we drove off there were a few people over there and looks like a good option that we may try the next time. And I think it may be Tuesday again but adding a Soft Shelled Crab sammie to my order. The other seafood looked fantastic, especially the tuna. I definitely will be back for some of the other options but really like this oyster special.

Such a great little seafood place- it looks small and unassuming from the outside but don't miss out on some of the freshest seafood around! My husband and I have been dying to try this place as we pass it all the time going to Folly Beach. It's a pretty small place but don't let that fool you- they have a lot of variety and a great to-go section. The fish is displayed on ice behind the counter and looks about as fresh as it comes. My husband ordered the fish fry and literally picked the exact piece of fish for them to cook. He ordered a seaweed salad on the side, which was needed as the fish comes alone. The filet was cooked to perfection and the flavors were well-balanced. And the seaweed salad can go up against the best out there. I ordered the coconut sticky rice bowl and again I got to pick out my fish. She suggested the tuna so I ran with it- it was so delicious. The bowl was comparable to a Poke bowl if you are more familiar with that, but was a good portion size for a lunch meal. The young lady behind the counter was very patient and helpful with picking out our meals as it was our first time. They also had a wine section and several local beers to enjoy if you'd like. Their to-go fridge was well-stocked with a variety of sides and dips that I'm sure are to die for. 100% planning on going back again and try some other options for lunch or to grab some fresh fish to take home!

What a gem! After driving by hundreds of times, confused about whether it's a shop or a restaurant, we finally looked it up and decided to take a chance and stop in. CudaCo is FANTASTIC. The seafood is fresh, and what we had was super delicious and fairly priced. Would 100% recommend for a casual quick bite of amazing seafood or to pick up something to eat/cook at home (they have wine too!!!).

Delicious! Got the rice bowl with scallops. So very fresh and flavorful. The variety within the dish allows the eater to create many different bites. It's a really cute space. Feels bright and thoughtful. Got a couple of local beers. They have also a nicely edited wine selection. Cold case with more deliciousness to take home. This would be a lovely place to get goods together for a picnic.

Amazing. We went recently and were a little intimidated when we walked in, but as soon as we let them know it was our first time they gave us the low down. Everything we got was superb. The freshest of seafood accompanied by the perfect pairings or flavors and textures. Only feedback I would give was that the mussel broth was pretty winey. They had this amazing special where everything was half off due to their birthday, and I would honestly go back and pay full price - which means a lot coming from me. Also, well stocked fridge with stuff to take home.

We had seen this pretty little spot and finally had a moment to stop in for lunch. Such a cute shop - and if you are beaching it or staying at a beach house you can pick up what you need for a nice meal. They've got fresh fish to cook, a beautiful wine nook, some delicious looking item in the fresh to go fridge. We were here for lunch, though. Hubby had the flounder - a bit wet and very small. While delicious, he was hungry when he left. I had better luck with the coconut rice bowl and steamed shrimp - it was plenty for me and I shared with my husband. They had 3 bottles open, so we each had a lovely glass of wine with our lunch. The fresh fish market it beautiful and I look forward to stopping in there to purchase something special for a meal at home. This is a true fish market with some great options for you - so try to pop in and give it a try.

I was introduced to this restaurant by my daughter-in-law. I was expecting a lot different experience as it's really a fish market and not a restaurant. Very limited seating very long wait times to receive the food and a little overpriced in my opinion.

We were in the mood for casual/fresh seafood. They have only a few tables and they were all being used, so we ordered four dishes to go. I ordered a blackened swordfish sandwich & my husband ordered a seared ahi tuna sandwich, among some other items. Service took awhile - it felt like 30 minutes but I'm not completely sure - so the woman behind the counter threw in a complimentary piece of carrot cake to thank us for waiting. Once we got home, I realized I was given just a piece of fish (no sandwich) along with some presumably homemade tartar sauce. My husband's was the same. At first I was annoyed it wasn't a sandwich, but quickly realized I didn't care because it was the BEST swordfish I have ever eaten! The blackening spice wasn't overpowering and it was incredibly juicy! Absolute perfection! The tartar sauce was delicious too! I scarfed it down and didn't miss any bread or roll (who needs the carbs?) My husband enjoyed his ahi but agreed my dish was incredible. Yum! Highly recommend!

YES!!! I will always say yes when someone asks if I want Cuda Co! The fish is so fresh and delicious and I love that you can choose your type of fish for your meal. My go to is the sticky rice bowl, and I usually switch between tuna and salmon when ordering. I had ordered ahead for pickup and the order was ready within 5 mins! My dog was in the car when I picked up so I treated her to some of their fresh dog treats and she LOVED them! They had picnic tables outside overlooking the marsh where I was able to sit and enjoy the food and view with my happy pup!

I have never actually bought fish from outside of a grocery store before but I was NOT disappointed. I love that CudaCo's selection is sustainably sourced, it is definitely worth the price and honestly the price is quite reasonable considering. The first time I ate there I got a Poke Bowl with Tuna and stole one of my boyfriend's Fried Oysters. Everything was delicious and so fresh. The second time, I picked up some fish for Fish and Chips, they didn't have haddock or cod but the guy at the counter recommended Barracuda as a substitute and it was such a good suggestion, I used it to make Gordon Ramsay's recipe. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable

This is exactly what you expect to find in terms of fresh seafood when you live near beach town/water front location. (I love that it was super clean and you can see it and smell). The food was ridiculously fresh and done with care! It was delicious! PO Boy and Sandy fish were perfect! The sticky bowl is raw (tuna) and that was great balance. Perfect portion.

While enjoying a cup of morning java on the porch, the wife interrupts my solitude and announces... "I've decided to cook tonight, so don't try to convince me that we're going out instead." "10-4" I reply. Eight hours later, my wife once again interrupts my weekend solitude and announces... "I've decided NOT to cook tonight, AND I want fresh fish, so think of somewhere to go." "Uncle Joe Biden", I curse to myself, under my breath. "What did you say?" she asks, giving me the old stink eye. "Great idea Hon!" I reply. It's 5pm...! ...on a Saturday night! And she wants fresh fish! For those of you not from these parts, fresh fish (that isn't fried or tourist priced) is a rare commodity, despite Charleston being a coastal city. Our go-to option is Gillies Seafood, a diamond in the rough Mom and Pop fish joint, but at this time of the night, there'll be a line outside that's longer than one for Springsteen tickets at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. We fire up the EV-eating Buick Roadmaster (it's brand new pleather seatcovers look terrific) and head out for the elusive, Lowcountry Fresh Fish. As expected, traffic on Folly Road is a nightmare (nah, we don't need to complete the I-526 expansion!) and when we arrive at Gillies, we're given a wait time of 45 minutes, which means we'll actually be served our food sometime around dusk. I'm not happy. Wife is not happy. We are now having a married couple moment, staring at each other menacingly in the parking lot, when I remember that CUDACO is just up the road, a seafood market that we've heard about but never visited. We inch along Folly, find the place, and park near the world's strangest looking carport. There's a fairly decent crowd of folks picking up takeout orders, all of whom look to have been born around the last time the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series (1994), including the staff. In other words, folks who wouldn't be caught dead in Gillies, (or at least until they hit their late fifties). A case full of fresh fish dominates the smallish space, containing a pretty amazing selection of oysters, or as I call them, "Phlegm on the half-shell." Not a fan. Cudaco is basically a throwback to the old fish markets along the Jersey Shore with a few tables inside and picnic tables outside (with obligatory Edison lights), though with a much smaller selection of fish. By now, I want (make that, desperately need) a beer, while the wife orders for us at the counter. Unfortunately, being an OLD WHITE GUY, I've never heard of any of the cervezas in the fridge. In fact, I'm so unfamilar with these brands, that I'm not sure whether they're beer, seltzer, power drinks or automobile additives. I'd kill for a Bud Light at this point, Dylan or no Dylan. By the way, I HATE IPA. I end up skipping the beer. The music playing over the speakers was equally alien to me. Boy, do I feel out of place. Luckily the food was surprisingly good (ordered the Coconut Sticky Bowls) but the portions were skimpy, more along the lines of a lunch serving. I was starving when we left. We'd have given CUDACO 5 stars, but one of my personal peeves is being served food in plastic bowls, soup in paper cups and eating with plastic utensils, despite the fact that we ate in (and the soup was $12). All things considered. My wife loved it, staff was welcoming and friendly. Tables were clean. Food was prepared nicely and tasted great! I personally won't be back, but my wife and her friends will most definitely become regulars here.

This is an awesome place to pick up fresh seafood and grab a quick bite to eat! The location is perfect, as its right on the way to Folly Beach. I always oder the fish sandwich and it has been 10/10 consistently. Food comes out super fresh and I've never had to wait too long. The shop itself is really clean and tidy, and fish looks fresh and appealing. Staff is kind and accommodating. They offer tons of parking and even a couple picnic tables on the creek if you'd like to eat on the spot. Lots of different options - I would love to see them expand their hot menu and include more sides!

Seeing all the pictures of soft shell crabs has had me craving a soft shell crab sandwich. I stumbled upon an article with the names of the restaurants serving them and just wanted to grab one to go. So I chose CudaCo and so glad I did! This sandwich had all the perfect flavors and the bun was amazing! Such a great little seafood store too and Wednesday's that have a wine special.... Buy one bottle, get one free! Get there for a delicious soft shell crab sandwich!

We were visiting and our local friends said we all had to eat here and we are so glad we did! It was so good we came back the next day to have the Mahi mahi blackened sandy and clams. It was so delicious and we were still hungry so we ordered the fried grouper cheeks and got one pan seared. OMG so yummy. The tartar sauce was lemony and delicious! Make sure you stop here when you are close!

If you want the freshest fish in town, excellent service, and appropriate portion sizes this is the place to go. I went with no intentions, just exploring. I love going to one off restaurant. I was so pleased to see the fish being cleaned in the back and freshly served to me. I had my babies with me and they offered to make fish nuggets- so thoughtful! The sticky rice bowl was perfect as were the pan seared scallops. Will absolutely go again!

We decided to give this place a try, given it's high ratings, and that we could just order and get it quickly. It has a very clean and modern feel. You can see the seafood in a case, which is nice. The food was delicious, but very pricey for what you get. You get nothing with your meal (sides, chips, etc), so it's not very filling. Our po-boys were more like slider size. For $17, you'd expect to get a sub size at the least. I'd pass on this one.

Cuda co. has been at the top of our list of places to try in Charleston based on both grassroots marketing and resonate social media. We had an experience tonight that did not meet the expectations set by the aforementioned influences. We spent $200. If we went to 167 Raw, $200 would have afforded much better food along with complimentary top tier service. For a $200 price tag for two guests I expect to walk away with a great story to tell about our experience. A potentially delicious crudo dish served on a reactive aluminum tray was probably the biggest let down. It tasted like metal, and the seemingly bored counter service attendant forgot that we ordered it so the fish was cut on fly and was sliced in large chunks and placed on awkwardly thick slices of unseasoned radish. Another thing we were really enthused about was supporting a purveyor and restaurant that is focused on sustainability and conscientious sourcing in the name of supporting native fish conservation. The plastic cups and silverware were dissonant to say the least for an ocean-centric business. We had the premium oysters, delicious, but we were told there would be three varieties, and after finishing the oysters noticed that 8 of the shells were the same. After asking we were informed that there were in fact only two varieties. If it's me, I am going to let the guest know upon dropping off the thing that it is different than the thing promised when it was ordered. From at 30,000 ft view, I think Cuda Co. is after the right things, but I believe that is super important to walk the walk if you're going to talk the talk. Too many companies are greenwashing their image, and I am not going to accuse Cuda Co. of doing that, but from the humble vantage point of a young 24 year-old from the cost who is aggressively burping watermelon radish at this very moment I believe Cuda Co. could be perceived as a business that is not delivering what it promises. All the love. I know it's hard out here, but authenticity and transparency are free. Invest in the that and you guys will crush.

This fresh fish market has Great seafood. Fresh! We had the ceviche, mussels and flounder sandwich. You can eat in, a few tables or go outside. You can also get fresh fish to go. Small portions but you can also get the fish fry and have them fry as much as you want.

Came here for dinner the other night for the first time. I was really impressed by the selection of local seafood that they have at the seafood counter. I struggled to decide between the flounder sandwich and the coconut sticky rice bowl, but my friend who been there before I mentioned that the rice bowl was more exciting than the sandwich so I opted for that. Since you can get the rice bowl topped with any of their fresh fish I asked which one they recommended and they said right now the tuna was the best so I got that. When it came out I was surprised as to it size... It was a little bare for how much it cost (the rice bowl with tuna and a sparkling water + tip was was $34). I will stay the space is really spa so it's really better for a takeout then eat in. The chairs they have at the high top are not made for people with big booties like me. They have a great selection of local beer and wine as well as taking go sides so if you're going to the beach it's a great place to stop on your way

Such a cute seafood market and restaurant!! You can tell everything is so fresh and they take great pride in their food. I had the coconut sticky rice bowl with salmon and it was excellent! I'll definitely be coming back and I can't wait to try more off their menu

I stopped here for lunch and ordered the coconut sticky rice bowl with raw tuna. SO GOOD! The rice had a great coconut flavor and the fish was super fresh. The combination of flavors in this bowl was fantastic, and I really enjoyed the tangy flavor of the seaweed topping! They also sell Dalia Sofia kombucha to sip with your food, which I was able to enjoy on their picnic tables near a marshy area. I didn't order any fresh seafood to take home but was very tempted. The selections in the case looked wonderful.

I am so thrilled to finally have a fantastic seafood restaurant on James Island. CudaCo has turned this location into a modern and clean spot with eye-catching industrial decor. I opted for takeout and was not disappointed in the slightest. The raw oysters were excellent and wonderfully flavorful, as were the baked oysters. The Po boy sandwich was amazingly satisfying and peppery with perfectly juicy oysters and slaw. The coconut sticky rice bowl was the highlight of the meal, with a fantastic spicy kick and refreshing flavors. Prior to trying the restaurant at CudaCo, we purchased tuna cuts from their butchery. They were noticeably and significantly tastier than anything we have purchased from the grocery store. The texture was fabulous.
