We stop here every year on our way through as we have always found it to be very good. This trip was disappointing as the crab bisque was replaced with a crab soup... While it had lots of crab chunks the broth was greasy and can't begin to compete with the bisque.. My wife's shrimp was very good.

We have been stopping at Skippers Fish Camp for the last ten years on our way to and from Florida vacation. It is a little off the beaten path, so if you do not know about it, you probably would not find it by accident. It is about 4 miles off I-95 at the river that runs through Darien. They... More

We always make a point to stop here on our to and from Florida. Awesome food and great atmosphere. Grouper sandwhiches are the best and you take a stroll on the pier or play a little cornhole afterwards.

I was pleased with Skippers the shrimp I enjoyed tasted fresh and was well prepared, the salad served was cold and crisp with a good tasting blue cheese dressing and the side of collards acceptable, the only disappointment was the shrimp dip which did not seem to have a lot of taste. The service was excellent and the meal moved... More

My sister has a home in Townsend, Georgia and every time we visit, we insist on going here. The fried shrimp and oysters are exceptional and the crispy scored flounder will make you think you have died and gone to heaven. It is GREAT!!!

Dirty greasy dusty decorations. Table varnish coming off mixed with old gross sticky stuff...not appetizing at all. I had to put down a newspaper to even sit at the table. Raw oyster appetizer - mushy. Fried Captain's Platter $26.99 greasy wet batter that sloughed off...mushy oysters, tough shrimp. We will not go back. Sweet potato soufflé was mashed sweet potatoes....

With work boats at the dock and a walkway great for viewing sunsets across the marshy area, Skippers is a lovely spot to stroll while waiting for a table for dinner. The restaurant is at ground level with outside seating which would have been nice in warmer weather. The bar was an open upper deck of a separate building (a... More

Getting a late start out of town, we headed down 95 South toward Jacksonville, Florida. Tummy growling and the family ready to eat, we spotted an old sign on the interstate for Skipper's fish camp. After taking the exit a sign said we had 2 more miles to go but it didn't say which way. We stopped a local and... More

We ate dinner at this restaurant and recommend the "Buffalo Alligator". The seafood was fresh and the staff was excellent. Will be back soon!

We're from the Alabama Coast so have eaten hundreds of times in seafood resturants. Location is beautiful. Service Staff was fantastic. Oysters from Appalacola, FL and best you can get. Food was very good but small portions for the price. Dozen on the Half Shell was $15. We ordered that and asked that they not be the really big one.... More
