Despite not having the blue crab at the moment, which was NOT their fault due to their supplier dropping out, it was sooooo good. I hadn't been to the East Coast in almost a decade and all I wanted was some fresh seafood... these guys gave me what I needed to call it a successful trip! One of the gals even gave me a step by step on cracking into my Dungeoness Crab because it was bigger than I had expected 🤣 so worth every penny!

Bring your appetite and, I would suggest, some clothes you don't mind getting a drop or two. Lots of food and quickly flowing to your table.
