Navy Seafood

"On the corner of Emancipation Ave and Elgin St, just across the street from Emancipation Park, Navy Seafood is a one-stop-shop for all things fried seafood that has been around for 25 years. This modest counter-service spot serves everything from fried oysters to an otherworldly fried fish sandwich that crackles with every bite. There are a few tables inside, but Navy Seafood is undeniably a takeout operation—which is fine with us, because a styrofoam container all but overflowing with shrimp fried rice tastes just as good in the car." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"For generations, this seafood house has offered affordable fried fish platters, as well as family and group dinner-friendly options. The counter-service, no-frills stop provides the usual seafood shack pleasantries: Think fried fish sandwiches, shrimp and fish platters, and shrimp fried rice. Among its larger order offerings, consider the 10-piece catfish deal for $30, as well as shrimp and oyster deals. Navy Seafood offers specials of 15 fried shrimp ($12.49) and 15 oysters ($23.99), and specials for hushpuppies, chicken strips, and wings." - Kayla Stewart
