Nestled in Covington, Covington Seafood Market & Bar-B-Que delivers a menu packed with bold Southern flavors, merging the best of fresh seafood and classic barbecue. The offerings reflect a deep appreciation for hearty, well-seasoned dishes that cater to seafood lovers and barbecue enthusiasts alike.
Seafood selections shine with signature items like fried catfish, golden-crisp shrimp, and buttery garlic crab legs. These come generously seasoned, paired with sides like hush puppies, coleslaw, and buttered corn on the cob, adding the perfect balance of crunch and tang. For those craving a true Southern boil, the seafood platter—piled high with succulent crawfish, tender snow crab, and plump shrimp—is a must-try, served with zesty Cajun butter.
The barbecue side of the menu brings equally impressive flavors. The smoked brisket, slow-cooked to perfection, melts in the mouth with a deep, smoky richness. Pulled pork sandwiches, topped with tangy slaw and a drizzle of house-made sauce, deliver the right mix of sweet and savory. Ribs, coated in a sticky, flavorful glaze, fall right off the bone, a testament to the hours spent in the smoker. Accompaniments like baked beans, mac and cheese, and cornbread round out the meal with comforting Southern staples.
Beyond the heavy hitters, the menu also includes classic po’boys stacked with fried shrimp or catfish, slathered in remoulade, tucked into soft French bread. For a lighter option, grilled fish plates provide a fresh, smoky alternative, highlighting the natural sweetness of the seafood without overwhelming seasoning.
Drinks and desserts complement the experience, with homemade sweet tea offering the perfect refresher alongside the rich, smoky, and spicy flavors. Ending the meal with a slice of house-made pecan pie or banana pudding makes for a sweet Southern finish.
