The menu at Cowart Seafood showcases a comforting lineup of coastal favorites, with a focus on freshness and generous portions. The platter options highlight the kitchen’s strengths, especially the fried oysters, which arrive crisp on the outside while staying tender inside, and the crab cakes, packed with sweet crabmeat and only lightly bound so the flavor stands out. The steamed shrimp are simply seasoned but remarkably flavorful, letting their natural sweetness shine. For something heartier, the seafood platters allow diners to mix and match fried fish, scallops, shrimp, or oysters, each cooked with a reliably light hand that keeps the meal from feeling heavy. Even the hush puppies deserve attention-golden, slightly sweet, and a perfect companion to the seafood plates. While the menu leans toward classic preparations, the consistency and freshness make these staples feel especially satisfying.
