Pier 601 Seafood - Mocksville

Possibly the worst dining experience we ever had. My husband and I had been looking forward to eating here and finally had the opportunity. We were extremely disappointed. The oysters were so overcooked that they were more like rubber. My husband's catfish were small thin pieces of fish and were not fresh, tasting like they had been out of water way too long. His potato wedges were made from yesterday's baked potatoes, and he couldn't eat them. We sent my plate of oysters back but I kept the baked potato and salad. The checkout lady was a nightmare. She said she took off the price of the oyster plate but charged us for the other items on the plate per piece. We ended up paying for the almost full price for a so so potato and plate of lettuce. This lady was unnecessarily hateful and unpleasant. The waitress was the only positive friendly and attentive, but we have to warn others about the quality of food and management. We surely did not feel like valued customers. We even told the lady that this was our first visit, and she said she didn't care. We feel bad that this is the only seafood for the people in this area, compared to the other quality seafood restaurants.

This place was recommended by a local tow truck operator. We thoroughly enjoyed the hush puppies and tarter sauce! The shrimp and scallops were delicious, however, my husband's salmon was dry, but tasted OK. We will definitely visit the Pier 601 again if we are in the area just to get the hush puppies and tarter sauce, but would love to have their recipe for both as we really have no reason to travel through that area again. Happy eating to those of you who are locals and can eat there when you want! You are very lucky.
