The menu at Ard’s Seafood Market is a true showcase of Southern-style seafood done right. The fried catfish fillets are perfectly golden with a light, crispy coating that lets the tender fish shine through. Shrimp lovers will find plenty to enjoy, from fried shrimp baskets with plump, juicy pieces to shrimp po’boys stacked high with fresh toppings on soft bread. The crab claws are a standout, lightly battered and full of sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the house-made dipping sauces. For those who prefer something heartier, the seafood platters offer a generous mix-catfish, shrimp, oysters, and hush puppies all sharing the plate in classic style. The hush puppies themselves are worth a mention: crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful inside, they make the perfect sidekick to any dish. Fried oysters are another highlight, bringing a rich taste of the Gulf with every bite. Even simple items like the coleslaw and fries balance the seafood beautifully, giving a fresh crunch alongside the fried favorites. Each dish feels made with care, offering portions that are both satisfying and great for sharing, creating the kind of menu that invites you to keep exploring different combinations each visit.
