We know from experience that catering for clients such as political heads of state, professional athletes, and worldwide celebrities requires the highest level of focus and execution; This is precisely the level of service we bring to all of our events. Beyond our amazing food and stellar service, we are also a caring member of the Aiken, SC community in which we’ve lived for nearly 4 decades.
A: JC Seafood operates as a walk-up counter service. Whether you are buying raw seafood to cook at home, ordering a hot steamed meal to go, or heading out to the Bait Shack patio, you will place your order and pay at the main market counter inside.
A: Because we source our seafood fresh, wholesale costs fluctuate based on daily catches and seasonal availability. “Market Price” (or MP) ensures you are always paying a fair, accurate price for the freshest shrimp, crab legs, scallops, and lobster available that day.
A: Absolutely! Any of the fresh catches in our Raw & Ready to Cook market case can be professionally steamed or boiled right here in the shop for a small steaming fee.
A: Our signature Low Country Boil Base ($18.00) includes 4 pieces of corn, 1 lb. of savory Kielbasa sausage, and 9 potatoes, all perfectly seasoned. It is designed to feed 2 to 4 people—just choose your favorite seafood add-ons at market price to complete the feast!
A: We offer three signature flavor profiles for our boils and steamed dishes: Mild, Spicy, or “HOT” Garlic Butter. Just let the counter staff know your preference when ordering.
A: The Bait Shack is our casual, outdoor, backyard-style patio area. It’s a relaxed space right on Whiskey Road where you can take your freshly steamed seafood straight from the counter and dig in while it’s hot.
A: Yes! We are proudly BYOB-friendly on the patio. You are welcome to bring your own favorite beer, wine, or beverages to enjoy alongside your seafood feast.
A: No reservations are needed. Seating at The Bait Shack is completely first-come, first-served. It has a laid-back, informal atmosphere, so just grab an open table when you arrive with your food.
A: Yes, we highly recommend calling ahead for large steamed orders or Low Country Boils so we can have them hot and ready for you. You can reach us directly at (803) 648-6303.
A: We do! Whether you’re hosting a backyard family reunion, a corporate event, or a neighborhood party, we can put together custom low country boils and seafood platters. Please check our Catering page or call the shop to discuss your event size and menu options.
