Nemo's Seafood Grill

Reviews & Tips

  I had my doubts when I walked in, you just don't get good seafood in a small town hundreds of miles from the coast.  Wow was I wrong!  I ordered the seafood platter which was more than I could eat.  The scallops were as big as I have ever had and the shrimp were magnificent.  Fish filets, oysters, and fries topped it off.  I don't remember having better seafood at any price, but the platter could have been several dollars more and I wouldn't have complained.  
  
  Castroville is on my business route, so I have stopped at Nemo's a half dozen times now.  It has never disappointed.  Do yourself a favor and drop in sometime.

  My first visit to Nemo's and I have to give it a mixed review.
  The veggies were fresh and well prepared and the grilled snapper was nicely seasoned but tough and overcooked as were the shrimp.
  My brother's fried oysters were plump and delicious.
  Staff is friendly and efficient but not knowledgable about where the seafood is from.
  When I went to wash my hands the sink looked like mine when I wash up after gardening.
  Not my first choice.

  It's hard to come back to this place. We came here when it was on Potranco and now it's in our town in Castroville. The first time we went it was great, second time not so much, third time not great at all. The food consistency is not good. Today I had the pulled pork sandwich because I don't do seafood, and my bf loves it. The pp sandwich tasted old, reheated, and dry. The onions on the sandwich and my bf's fish sandwich were frozen solid! I'm soo turned off by this place already but I go because my bf enjoys it -_-

  I wasn't to sure about going to Nemo's after not having a good experience at the one that is now closed, but we kept seeing the parking lot  full at the new location, so we had a go at it, no disappointment this time, everything was fresh and hot, I had the fried crawfish and it was good with a touch of spiciness the fries and onion rings were good as well, the wife had the fried cod, and the portion was big, she had this with the green beans and they arrived hot, the ice tea was good too, the only negative was the tarter sauce,somewhat bitter.

  Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the food that was served. It was well prepared and plenty of it. I had grilled tuna and grilled shrimp. It was served perfectly cooked . Will try it again soon

  It is hard to find a good seafood restaurant in Medina County!!!! Nemo's has excellent food at a reasonable price. Our waitress was very responsive to our needs and never let my glass go even down half way. If you are in Castroville and looking for something to eat give Nemo's a try.

  I visited here on August 4th and was pleasantly surprised.  I indulged myself and had a fried seafood platter (which I don't ordinarily do).  It came with six large (very) shrimp, six scallops, hush puppies, and some fries.  The portion was just right.  Usually plates like this are mostly fries and have a minimal or small pieces of seafood.  This one was well-balanced and very tasty.
  
  My friend had a lobster tail with asparagus.  She reported they were both very good.
  
  The appetizer we had, crab-stuffed jalapenos, was delicious.  The cream cheese & crab filling wasn't overly scalding, and the breading was just right, i.e. not eight inches thick.
  
  The only down side was that the Coke we got was flat.  The waitress apologized and got us some more, which was also flat.  The third try was minimally better-carbonated, but not quite good enough.  They apparently get their beverages in multi-liter bottles.  I told the waitress it was time to bludgeon the vendor.  They should go with the cans of soda or go with fountain soda if they want consistency.
  
  I'll go back for sure.  Now all we need is a Chinese place in Castroville!
